Reviews for KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot in Union, NJ
This restaurant is truly phenomenal. I have never tried Korean hot pot cuisine before and now it's at the top of my favorites... list. I really enjoy interactive dining experiences like hibachi and fondue, but this is the best. Inside this spacious andbeautifully decorated space, you will find each table comes equipped with grill and burners for soup pots. The menu has twosides. One side is everything you can order for your hot pot soup and the other side is all the fresh items you can order togrill on your own, just the way you like it. I lovedddd adding ingredients to my soup and experimenting various combinations. MyRamen, miso and beef soup was outstanding. On the grill I cooked up some garlic and herb pork, shrimp, chicken and a variety ofbeef. If I didn't get full, I would have tried everything! Every ingredient, topping and sauce was fresh and perfectly preparedto grill. The second you order something, a server brought it over so quickly. I can't possibly say enough good things aboutthis place. The food was outstanding, the cocktails were amazing, the staff was so accommodating (especially our incredibleserver Elisia) and the restaurant is beautiful and clean. This place should be an absolute must on your restaurant bucket list. Read more
Our experience at hotpot was one of a kind. Despite the 2 hour wait, once we were seated we were greeted by an amazing waitress,... Geraldine. She made the entire experience joyful and worth the wait. She talked about flavors, gave great pairingrecommendations, and even cooked some of our food. She talked about her experience in culinary school and really connected withus. I would go back weekly if I knew Geraldine would be our waitress. Geraldine, thank you! Read more
Fantastic food, outstanding service (I'm looking at you Darius). The wait was 1 hour for a table, but given the particulars of... this establishment, that makes sense. I'm not going to waste time describing the endless variety of otherworldly foods, justlook at all the pretty pictures. Not cheap, but if you're strategic, you'll get your money's worth. I will definitely bereturning. Read more

Went there for a birthday dinner and everyone had a great time. Our server, Sebastian, was very attentive and friendly, and the... quality of produce was great. Once an order was placed the food came out very quickly. I will definitely be going back. The hotpot and bbq options can be a bit overwhelming so would suggest choosing one or the other. Only recommendation would be toinstall individual vents for each table to reduce the fumes from cooking. Read more
Food was yummy but the service was better. There will always be a wait to be seated because of how popular it is and it took a... little while before we had our order taken but our waitress was super amazing and very helpful. Just be careful not to order toomuch food:) Read more
This place can get packed if you come in on a busy day, wait time can be long for an hour plus if busy or seated right away if... the restaurant is not busy at all but you can cook all the different types of raw meat and vegetables that they have availableon the menu if you're a vegan then ask the server on a vegan option. Service is great some are new and in training so keep thatin mind, if it's your first time there then let them know as the server will asked you while seated as they can help guide youthrough cooking your food. Also keep in mind they won't let you takeout food so you have to eat the food you have and if thefood is wasted they will charge you extra. Read more
Really enjoyed my meal. There were a lot of meat and veggie choices, and liked cooking on the Korean grill and hot pot. I got... the seafood soup, and it was great. My favorite were the bulgogi, short ribs, and the prime ribeye steak! Washed everything downwith some cold soju. Service was great. The place had a modern, friendly vibe to it. Had a great time!
