KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot — Restaurant in Arlington

I must preface this by stating that I am a Korean American and judge all Korean cuisine to a high standard. Chances are my mother or myself can cook it better at home for a fraction of the cost. That being said, sometimes you just don’t want to cook! My family of 6 went on a Saturday morning at 11am, just as they opened. We were seated immediately and our waiter Sam greeted us very soon after. First impressions: he is not Korean, let’s see how this goes! He was very thorough on explaining how everything was set up and how to order from the IPad! He even gave us recommendations which were spot on! I have a hard of hearing, elderly mother who speaks in broken English and he was so patient and kind with her! Huge points for our family, as not all servers are accommodating. We all ordered both options, the hot pot and the BBQ. We had 4 different soup broths at our table, mine was the spicy seafood broth and it was delicious but I should have spiced it up a bit more with the choices from the spice bar. No complaints from anyone at the table! The vegetables, meats, and seafood we ordered for the hot pot were all so very good! We ordered the brisket, short ribs, bulgogi and pork for the BBQ. Outside of my own kitchen, the short ribs alone were worth every penny we spent! Very well seasoned and so tender and delicious! All the meats were delicious! The restaurant was clean, the food was incredibly fresh and well seasoned (we were pleasantly surprised) and the staff as a whole worked very well together! Our table was always being cleaned, the food arrived quickly and Sam was the best server! We will most definitely be back and hope to have a...

A 10/10 Experience at K-Pot Arlington — Mostly Because of Jackson!

I came for the Korean BBQ and hot pot, but I’m staying for Jackson. Let me just say — K-Pot in Arlington absolutely blew me away. From the moment I walked in, the vibe was fun, inviting, and full of energy. But the real highlight of my night? Jackson, our server.

He was genuinely amazing — incredibly attentive, quick with service, super knowledgeable about the menu, and had that rare ability to make you feel like a VIP without even trying. Every time he came to the table, the energy just went up. Not only was he a total pro, but let’s be real — he’s extremely attractive. Like, stop-in-your-tracks, can’t-stop-smiling kind of attractive. 😍

Now, on to the food (which was also incredible): The Korean BBQ was next-level delicious — flavorful, tender, and grilled to perfection. The hot pot options were plentiful and bursting with fresh ingredients. We got to customize everything, and it was so fun playing around with all the sauces and combos. Everything tasted amazing, and the portions were generous.

But let’s be honest… if Jackson isn’t working, I’m probably not going. He elevated the experience in every possible way. So if you’re heading to K-Pot Arlington, ask for Jackson. Trust me — your night will be infinitely better.

Can’t wait to come back for more food, more fun, and (let’s be real) more...

It's always great getting new yummy Asian spots in Arlington, and K-POT is no exception! We heard great reviews about this spot while dining out at some of the other kbbq spots in town and decided we needed to try it for ourselves.

And what do you know, they do live up to the good word of mouth. What's special about K-POT is that you can do BOTH kbbq and hot pot - but there were several other perks that I personally enjoyed throughout my meal.

I enjoy the use of the ipad to order meats, veggies, and other items. I also like that the sides are self-served. Sometimes it can get bothersome constantly flagging down your server to bring more items - so I enjoy that I can be in control of this.

I would say the quality of the meats is what you pay for. It's definitely a bang for your buck. I'm also quite the fan of beef tongue - and to have it on unlimited rotation.... yummy in my tummy.

Lastly, I'd like to give a shoutout to our server LEVI for giving us a wonderful experience. He was attentive, informative, and very friendly. Anytime we needed ANYTHING, he was immediately on it. I do recommend asking to sit in his section when you go if you can!

The crew and I will definitely be back. I can't wait to try the hot pot portion when it gets cooler again. Thanks for a great first...
