KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot was founded to bring the social Korean dining experience to American audiences, blending two distinct culinary traditions into one interactive meal. Unlike Korean BBQ-only or hot pot-only restaurants, KPOT gives each table a built-in grill grate and a bubbling pot of broth simultaneously, allowing diners to cook marinated meats over open flame while also simmering vegetables, noodles, and seafood in a flavorful soup base.
The KPOT concept grew steadily through the 2010s and 2020s, expanding to more than 20 locations across the United States in states including Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and beyond. Each restaurant follows an all-you-can-eat format where guests pay a flat fee per person and then order unlimited rounds directly to their table from a menu of over 50 proteins, vegetables, noodles, and sides. The model draws heavily from Korean dining culture, where communal cooking and extended table time are central to the social experience.
KPOT distinguishes itself with a broad selection of hot pot broths — from the fiery Sichuan mala to the gentle milky bone broth — alongside a protein lineup that spans USDA beef cuts, pork belly, lamb, chicken, and seafood. Diners can mix and match cooking styles at will, pairing a rich bone broth hot pot with a tableside grill loaded with galbi short ribs. The restaurant targets a younger, experience-driven dining crowd and has built a strong following through social media, where the sight of sizzling meats and steaming broths photographs exceptionally well.

KPOT typically offers six or more hot pot broth options depending on location. Popular choices include spicy mala (Sichuan numbing spice), original mild broth, tomato broth, mushroom broth, kimchi broth, and rich milky bone broth.

KPOT has a number of plant-friendly options including tofu, assorted mushrooms, napa cabbage, lotus root, sweet potato glass noodles, corn, and several vegan-friendly broth bases such as the mushroom broth and tomato broth. However, the restaurant is primarily meat-focused, so options are more limited for strict vegetarians or vegans compared to the protein selections.
As of 2026, KPOT has more than 20 locations across the United States, with a concentration on the East Coast in states including Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York. The chain has been expanding steadily. Use the store locator on the official website at kpotbbq.com to find the nearest location.
The marinated beef short rib (galbi) and bulgogi are consistently the most popular cuts at KPOT. Galbi is bone-in and has a rich soy-sesame marinade that caramelizes beautifully on the grill. Pork belly (samgyeopsal) is also a crowd favorite, especially the spicy version. For hot pot, shrimp and scallops are top picks among the seafood options.
KPOT offers discounted AYCE pricing for children, typically around $15 for kids under 10. Children eat the same unlimited menu as adults at the discounted rate. Age limits and pricing may vary slightly by location, so it's worth confirming when you make a reservation.
