Kansas City (KC) | Hot Pot & Korean BBQ | 4☆

KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot Address: 7001 W 135th St, Overland Park, KS 66223 If you’re craving both sizzling Korean BBQ and steamy hot pot in KC, KPOT is the spot to hit—especially since it’s an all-you-can-eat spot! 🥳 This combo of two beloved eats means you get double the fun, and overall, it’s a solid choice for a casual, filling meal. First, let’s talk about the Korean BBQ: The meat selection is surprisingly generous—think marinated bulgogi (sweet and savory beef), spicy pork belly, tender galbi (short ribs), and more 🥩. Every cut we tried was fresh, and when cooked on the tabletop grill (that’s heated up quickly, no long waits!), it got that perfect charred edge while staying juicy inside. Wrapping a piece of grilled meat in a crisp lettuce leaf with a dollop of ssamjang (spicy soybean paste) and a slice of garlic? Total flavor explosion 😋. Then there’s the hot pot: The setup is straightforward—pick your broth base, then load up on veggies, noodles, seafood, and extra toppings from the self-serve bar 🥘. The only tiny letdown? The broth was a bit on the mild side. If you love bold, intense flavors (like spicy Sichuan or rich tomato), you might want to ask for extra seasonings to amp it up. But even so, it’s still comforting—simmering veggies and shrimp in the warm broth made for a nice contrast to the smoky BBQ. One thing that really stood out here is the service! The staff was friendly, attentive, and quick to help—they refilled our water, changed the grill grates promptly when they got too greasy, and even gave tips on how to cook the meats perfectly 🧑🍳. That’s a huge plus compared to another all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ spot we tried in the area—at that place, the service was hit-or-miss, and on a few visits, the AC was so weak we were sweating through our meals (total buzzkill on a hot day 😓). KPOT, though? The dining area was cool and comfortable, making the meal way more enjoyable. All in all, KPOT delivers exactly what you want from an all-you-can-eat BBQ and hot pot joint: lots of food choices, decent quality, and a laid-back vibe. It’s great for groups, family meals, or even a hungry solo diner—you’ll definitely leave full and happy. 4 stars well-deserved! #KansasCityEats #KPOTBBQHotPot #AllYouCanEat #KoreanBBQ #HotPot #KCFoodGuide
