Absolutely fantastic dining experience. Our server was less than impressive but in her defense she was serving like 5 tables. Came into this with zero experience and zero knowledge of how to even do this. She gave us a quick briefing and we had to figure it out. At the end of the meal we learned how to cook our stuff better with trial and error. Next time we will know what we are getting into. The meats was so fresh. The vegetables as well. The seafood all fresh. At the appetizer bar the fried shrimp and French frys were under heat lamps but cold. The seasoning bar and sauce bar helped with seasoning and flavoring our meats. I suggest using lots of butter to cook with for the oils the server said we not for cooking. Take your time. Enjoy the experience. The meat will either cook slow or quick depending on the cut. Cook your vegetables first. Add more butter. Your KPot is yummy. Get it boiling before you drop your ramen. If you cook seafood or meat, tend it for it cooks very quickly.
Overall great experience. Will return soon with the family.

I had gone here recently with my best friend and the atmosphere and the food was terrific. The only thing that I had an issue with was that the hangar steak as well as the rice was not up to par. The steak had no flavor and left a weird aftertaste in our mouth not only that, but it seemed to in a sense dissolve. The rice was too Porridge like and I don’t know if it’s just me, but the garlic did not taste like garlic. It was bland. Other than that, our server was amazing. The host seemed like she was having a bad day, but that is OK. Everyone has bad days. The atmosphere was amazing. The music was amazing. Everything else was amazing. It was a little upsetting that their phone number could not be reached as it would’ve been nice to know that I was about to spend $87 on lunch for two people instead of the $50 I had planned.

The brisket and bulgogi are my staples here. Always high quality meat. The garlic chicken and shrimp are also awesome. The huge variety of meat/protein options AND the amazing variety of veggies, etc to add are so great.
It’s just a great experience, especially for a group of friends. It allows you to try as many different things as you want to, so you can each discover what your personal favorites are.
The bar where you can make your customized sauces is such a great touch, as well. Plus, the ‘extras’ of kimchi, fresh fruits, and some light sweet treats to wrap up your meal is the icing on the cake.
The service has always been top tier. I’ve been when there are less than 10 tables occupied, and I’ve been when the restaurant was completely packed. I honestly felt like the service was equal in both circumstances. I’ve never had to wait long to receive what we order from the table directly through the tablet.
All in all, KPOT is not just a good restaurant, but just a great experience in full. Definitely worth every dollar.

Has become one of my favorite restaurants in Lexington. A little pricy but you are guaranteed to leave full. Customer service is always superb!! We just went on my birthday and our server Dylan was one of the best ones I’ve had!! He was on it!! I also really love the management here. You know everyone enjoyed their job because it is evident from their great attitudes and work ethic they want to be there! The manager is also very nice. She makes it a point to come over and ask how we are doing, and we even talk about a game me and her both play on our phones when we have free time. Such a joy and one of the many reasons I come back!! Keep up the great work! I tell everyone I know to go to K-pot and jump at the opportunities to take someone here for the first time to show them not the only the great food and staff but also the robot that runs around and brings you your food!! Such a great and enjoyable atmosphere! I hope to see yall soon!

Never had a bad dish here. It’s so good every single time. The sauce bar has tons of options. I wish they allowed outside food only for the fact that we could come here more with our kids. The only “kid menu” item they have is fries.

I went with fiancé and his family to this Korean BBQ spot and everything was fresh and delicious! Note that there is a 2-hour time limit and it is AYCE.
They have a sauce bar where you can craft your own dipping sauces and grab snacks. They also offer whole hotpot menu to cook alongside your BBQ. Our server was very attentive and we got our ingredients out promptly. The restaurant itself was nicely designed being sleek, modern, and decked out in Korean decor with anime and K-Pop on TV!
We got a bunch of their beefs (tenderloin, sirloin, marinated, spicy and non-spicy), as well as seafood such as the spicy baby octopus, spicy salmon, garlic shrimp, and much more. All of the ingredients were fresh and scrumptious!
Definitely recommend this KBBQ and hotpot place to take your friends and family as it is best suited for groups of at least 3 people. Grill and cook to your heart’s content!

Absolutely love this place! Brought my culinary students on a field trip here to experience the fun atmosphere and they absolutely loved it. The staff, especially Joann, were a delight to work with and accommodated our large group seamlessly. Highly recommend as it is such a fantastic dining experience!

It may not be fully traditional Korean food. But what it lacks in that department, it more than makes up for in ambience, attitude and presentation. Great food, great service (even the robot waiter was polite and a total pro!) And an amazing atmosphere! Watching Kpop “idol” style shows on TV as well as other shows (anime and sports) added to the experience. Having spent time in Korea, this restaurant took me on a trip down memory lane. I would highly recommend this for anyone looking for a fun and immersion experience!
