KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot

KPOT: A Carnivore’s Dream Come True! My wife and I had the pleasure of eating at KPOT for the first time this past weekend, and let me tell you—it was an experience! I’ve always heard about Korean BBQ but never tried it until now. As a Carnivore, I was in hog heaven. The variety of meats was impressive, and believe me, I ate my share. You have a couple of options: the traditional KPOT hot pot or the Korean BBQ. With the BBQ, you cook your food right at the table, which makes it fun if you don’t mind grilling for yourself. If that’s not your style, they do offer the option of having the kitchen prepare it for you. The atmosphere was great, the restaurant was very clean, and the staff went above and beyond. From the minute we walked in, we were greeted by the hostess/manager, Victoria. She was friendly, helpful, and had such a bubbly personality. Our waiter, Jacob, was just as impressive—patient, knowledgeable, and willing to walk us through the whole process since it was our first time. Because I avoid vegetable seed oils and sauces, I asked for my meats plain, and they were quick to communicate that to the chef—something I really appreciated. My wife, who isn’t carnivore, still had plenty of options with both meats and vegetables, and she left just as satisfied as I did. I highly recommend giving KPOT a try if you haven’t already. Between the food, the atmosphere, and the staff, it was a great experience all around. I’ll definitely be back!

First, the restaurant is not crowded, plenty of available table but you guys not really pay attention to us, it takes me long to have a table to sit with a pad that require turn-on and it takes another 10-15 minutes for someone to unlock it. Second, the short-staff is not a customer fault, you guys claims that there is party going on, but we paid the same amount to have dinner, the serving speed and attention to our table is terrible Third, waiting time for order is long, and it counted as eating time of customer, actual wait is 12 mins for the first 2 dishes, and 8 more mins for the rest of simple order... and we sit there waiting nearly 30 mins for the first dish to be served, you guys think that normal? Forth, look at the grill, its black and no-one pay attention enough to change it, and i asked for 4 times, to 4 different staffs and only 1 truly listen and change the grill. This is a terrible experience, previous time its not that bad guys!

Came to KPot for the first time tonight, and it was awesome!! It is such a different experience from anything else in Jonesboro. Our waiter Gentry was the BEST, the food was amazing, and we will definitely be back!

Ok let’s get started. (This is my personal experience nothing towards anyone in this and no hate to anyone) When we first walked in the host/manager was super friendly. We sat to the side to wait to be seated it took a good 6-10 minutes for us to get sat they were fairly busy and had a birthday happening. Definitely not a bad sitting time with everything they had going on. Well we got sat and our server Jacob came over a few minutes later to explain how the systems were down and that this experience will be a-little different from normal flow of things which we were ok and understanding about. He did a wonderful job explaining the menu to us and helped guide us through ordering. Communication was impeccable and we greatly appreciated the help. Unfortunately afterwards it went down hill. (this was our personal experience). He gave us our drinks and we never saw him again except one time after the manager/host came and refilled my empty drink I had for over 10 minutes. By this time a lot of tables around us had left. We sat for 40 minutes total (keep in mind in this time a server stopped and asked us who our server was and told us she’ll get him for us and he still didn’t show for 20 minutes of that) whenever he finally came back I had asked for a box for my cousins food and the check. (After being a server I love seeing itemized checks and had asked for one) well turns out you have to pay 7.50 for a Togo container which isn’t his fault but very much at this time was like "well no it’ll be fine" and he said "well we will wait for her to get out the bathroom to see".. so then I just say go ahead and get that box for her and my check please. We drove out 2 hours to try this place and we had errands to run and I just needed to leave. Well he leaves and comes back without the itemized ticket ok whatever I have my card out ready to pay he pours her soup in the container she comes back to the table he then goes to get the check and then leaves for another 15 minutes. Me and my cousin watched him help everyone around us and avoid our table. When he finally comes back the manager is behind him he then informs me that I pay off his tablet and I never got that itemized receipt so he left for no reason and held us there longer to bring the manager who then asked us about our experience when he walked away for my receipt. I was honest and the service sucked we saw her walk past us more than he ever did our entire time there. She followed us out and took a percent off my meal after I told her it wasn’t necessary. I didn’t want anything free I just wanted a good dining service. And before you ask yes he still got tipped from me. Not because I think he deserved it but bc I gave him the benefit of the doubt that it was just a bad day for him. I’m not sure if it was just a bad day because of the systems or what but it’s very unfortunate having a dining service like this. With all the being said I’m by no means trying to bash anyone. And truly hope it was a one time thing to happen. Overall the food itself was good quality.

I love coming here. Students get a discount. They either have discount cards or a reward punch card towards a free meal. There is a wide variety of meats, seafood, and veggie options. The soup bases are also great. If its your first time, they are fantastic about explaining everything. There is a small bar that has so many different sauses, along with deserts and fried rice. Every time I have gone, there is always something different by the rice, be it chicken, fried shrimp, etc. I occasionally go with a friend who has a shrimp allergy but I always get it. If you tell them, they are very good about keeping everything separate. The only reason I didnt give a full 5 stars was that when you place your order, it doesn't always come out all at once, and you dont always get everything you ordered, so you have to reorder what was missing.

We went there for Halloween and it was amazing. Thank you for Bre and Victoria no secret for making the experience amazing for my family. This restaurant was requested by my daughter who loves everything Korean.

🤩 wow!!! This was a fantastic meal! 🥘 the bulgogi beef and chicken were excellent. The seasoning is perfect. The garlic 🧄 butter 🧈 shrimp 🍤 was to die for!
