The food and service here is amazing. We came here on a Friday morning and got seated right away. Our server Kalen was amazing. Even though we know our way around typical kbbq and hotpot spots, she was still helpful and gave great suggestions. The kbbq and hotpot quality is stellar. So much variety and for an affordable price. Highly recommend for anyone new to trying kbbq and hotpot. Even better if you get Kalen as your server. She is stellar at her job and super friendly.

First time ever going to a Korean BBQ spot and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere alone was great. The food was even better. Had a variety of choices whether it’d be seafood, pure meat or vegetables. For a 2-hour all you can eat prices very much worth it. Our server Skyler was amazing. He was able to talk us through the whole process he stayed on top of our drinks making sure none of us are left out. Even had great recommendations and tips when it came down to it. Even though the place was packed, our food came out in less than 15 minutes, almost instantly. They also have a little birthday song and dance. They do which my lovely wife was the victim of. Absolute 10 out of 10 would recommend and we will be going there again.

My wife and I took a chance visiting and we’re not disappointed. Service was excellent and Jazmine explained things very well. She took our initial order for drinks and food items. The drinks came out quickly.
This is a Korean style Barbeque were you cook the items you select from their menu. Each table has several burners and a central grill in the table for everyone to cook their own food to their preferred level. You can order more of the same, or different proteins or vegetables as you go along.
A bar is provided to make your own dipping sauce from a selection of ingredients. So it’s easy to mix and match things to different food items.
Sometimes in the near future they will be moving to a larger place. Business must be good, the food certainly was. We look forward to going back in the future.
Give them a try. It’s a nice dining experience.

This was a very fun place to eat. We had a really great experience. My daughter is leaving tomorrow to go to college and this was the perfect place to have dinner with her. Our server Kerry was great and helped us understand how to order as I have not been to a Korean hot pot before. 5 out of 5 would recommend

We chose this spot to host our daughter’s birthday dinner (party of 10) and being our first time experiencing KPOT, I must say I was very impressed with the whole experience! Sofia our waitress went above and beyond to explain everything to us and assisted the children at the separate table throughout the evening! She was great and this was some of the best service we’ve received in a long time! Our daughters really enjoyed the birthday song and spinning the wheel for a birthday surprise! Great experience and highly recommended!

KPOT Korean BBQ on Harbison Blvd is hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Columbia! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, lively, and welcoming. The space is modern, clean, and has a great vibe whether you’re there for a casual dinner or a celebration with friends.
The food was absolutely delicious. Every dish we tried was full of flavor and cooked to perfection. The quality of the meats was excellent, and the variety available made it easy to try a bit of everything. I especially loved the marinated prime brisket and the spicy pork belly — so good!
What really made the experience special was the staff. Everyone we interacted with was incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive. They made sure our grill was clean, our drinks were filled, and that we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Their service truly elevated the whole experience.
If you’re in the Columbia area and love Korean BBQ or are just looking to try something new, I highly recommend checking out KPOT. I can’t wait to come back again!

We came in with a party of 10 and Sophia was AMAZING. She was professional, patient, and so helpful—especially with the kids and the cooking process. She truly went above and beyond and made our experience unforgettable. We’ll definitely be back!

My brother treated me to Korean BBQ at the KPOT on Harbison Blvd, and the experience was phenomenal. It was my first time in a restaurant like this and our server Maaliq demonstrated exceptional customer service, being friendly, courteous and helpful. He was knowledgeable about the food, and also offered to help us cook or show us the best way to cook our selections if we desired. My brother had a bad experience at a different Korean bbq where the server loomed over the table and insisted on cooking everything himself, and he was delighted at the service he received today with Maaliq.
The food itself was also delicious. We started with prime brisket and chicken bulgogi, then KPOT pork belly and garlic shrimp. My brother liked the garlic shrimp enough that he ordered a second serving, and I finished with some spicy beef bulgogi. We had many different vegetables as well, everything was fresh, and wonderfully portioned with each serving.
The price was also great for what we had. We went during lunch time so it was a little cheaper than dinner, but is still all you can eat. For both my brother and I, it was around $55 which was a steal for the amount we ate. I’d certainly recommend trying this place out.
