My family and I came on a Saturday evening around 6 PM for dinner and we only all had hot pot. I didn’t need to make reservations and my overall review would be solid 5 stars for food taste – temperature, and select selection. My service would be also be 5 stars perfect. This is probably my third or fourth time coming to this location and I have to make this review because they are very consistent overall on everything. I live in Tampa therefore I have plenty of other selections of hot pot located in the USF area, but I prefer to go to Kpot Brandon because it’s totally worth it. I really do recommend this restaurant for hot pot or Korean barbecue or even both at one time for lunch or dinner because I’m pretty sure their menu price would be different for lunch and dinner. The location is convenient and the atmosphere inside is very spacious with plenty of seating! The noise level is definitely not romantic, but it is doable. There’s absolutely nothing that can be romantic in a family setting or open seating arrangement. Come hungry – leave happy… my service name was Cindey, and she was very professional and a tentative. I always recommend this restaurant to family & friends so check them out if your haven’t. Seafood & meat selection is fresh and full. Bonus – I even enjoy eating ALL their hot food items available…. Try the honey chicken wings !!!!

Ana was our server this evening and we love her. In fact I will only be requesting her section going forward. Haha. She was super great. Sweet, attentive, super psychic or something because she knew what we needed before we even knew. Love her. Love this place. Come often. Will continue to come!! (Pic is from mid dinner,Ana replaced the grill, the rice is always perfect, the lettuce always crisp, food always bangin)

Love this spot! You get seated surprisingly quickly, even during busy times.
On my last visit, the wait was only about ten minutes, and once you’re settled, you can grab food right away. The drinks came out promptly as well. I still remember stopping by back in the summer of 2024 when the place was just being built, so seeing how much it has evolved is genuinely impressive. The atmosphere is vibrant and inviting.
I love the patio area, and the interior looks fantastic at night. The neon lights and colorful accents give it such a lively, eye-catching vibe. It’s a spot that keeps getting better every time I go.

Interesting place to eat. They have a good variety of broths. They also have a good variety of meats and seafood. If you like a different experience in which you grill or boil your proteins and veggies then you can give this place a try. They have a good parking area and the restaurant also has lots of space.

My husband and I came here for our day date today and it was amazing . I always wanted to try Korean BBQ and this place didn’t disappoint. The atmosphere is so calming. I loved the colors and decor. I loved that it’s a buffet and everything tasted delicious.The service was top tier. Our waitress was so kind and since it was our first time, she showed us how everything worked and was patient with us when we asked questions. I’m not sure if the gentleman that came over was the owner of the restaurant or the manager, but he was so friendly and inviting. We will definitely be visiting again. They offer karaoke, so that’s a plus too

Great all-around! The food was the best we’ve had at a Korean hot pot/barbecue. Very impressive selection and the keep it well stocked. Everything was clean and fresh. Our server was on-point and kept the dirty plates flying off the table. Really great service. The buffet area was pretty well spaced out so folks aren’t on top of one another. Fun atmosphere. Price was very reasonable for similar Korean restaurants we’ve frequented. They’ll be seeing us again for sure.

Kpot is a great spot! It took over the old korean hot pot place and completely revamped it. It can be kind of overwhelming with all of the lights but there’s always a comfortable place to sit. Plenty of space between the seat and tables. The pot for your soup is on top of the table, if you have handsy little ones do be careful. Kpot always plays great music and there is always someone’s birthday here so if you’re easily overstimulated, do be aware!
The drinks are pretty good, whether you’re getting alcohol or boba tea! There is a great assortment of veggies, meats, and seafood! There’s also a sauce bar. If you need a nice dipping sauce/flavor enhancer for your soup try the house sauce with extra garlic, green onions, add sugar, white vinegar, and a bit of fish sauce. This is a bit sweet but it’s my favorite when paired with the steaks and pork belly.
Not much in terms of dessert but the Sago is delicious! The fruits are also very tasty. The soup base is pretty good but not as flavorful and hearty as other stocks so adding a flavor enhancer with sauce is something I encourage. The marinade on the meats are great and they’re very tasty on their own. Be prepared to spend about 40 per person for both hotpot and kbbq which is pretty average these days. I’m always happy coming here and leave full!
