One Pot - Hot Pot & Korean BBQ — Restaurant in Columbus

One Pot is a new All You Can Eat hot pot and Korean bbq restaurant! You have the option of choosing one or having both for an extra charge.

They had a variety of options for broth—I chose the spicy butter mala and it was on the milder side, so I might try the extra spicy next time. They also have a soondooboo (Korean soft tofu) flavor which was good but also on the milder side.

There are indoor and outdoor options for seating. I personally really liked the outdoor option since the weather was nice and the fumes were less likely to linger on your clothes after!

Indoors, they had a sauce bar where you could choose from a variety of different condiments including spicy pepper, hoisin, peanut sauces, and there were side dishes like pickled radish, marinated tripe, and kimchi. They also had a small dessert section with cut fruit—I only wish they had ice cream too.

The quality of the meat was good- I tried the brisket and pork belly, as well as mussels, fish, baby octopus, and various fish balls. The pork belly was on the thin side so it cooks very quickly. They also have raw peeled shrimp—definitely a game changer since I always hesitate from getting shrimp because I’m bad at peeling them!

I also like how they had a variety of veggies including crown daisy, Napa cabbage, bok choy, and seaweed knots. We also got lettuce and lots of garlic for the bbq meat! The fried gyoza was also a nice touch as a side dish.

As for noodles, we ended the meal with udon and ramen noodles. The ramen noodles were on the thin side (the ones you see in instant cup noodles), which made for quick cooking.

Our server was attentive and made sure we were taken care of. There were a few mix ups with us getting things we didn’t order, but overall it was pretty smooth and they had an additional server who brought over the food items quickly.

Definitely try to get a reservation during their busy hours since the average wait time for dinner was an hour!

Overall it was a delicious meal and would...

Can’t really rate the food or atmosphere, because we I didn’t even get to try the food. If negative value is allowed, that will be the rating this place deserved. First meal for the new year, gathering with friends, but worst experience ever in my life! No matter how great the food is, I would recommend going to this place if you want to be treated nicely as a customer!

Everywhere on their webpage, on Google search, indicated the place is opened at 11:30. Got there, but was told that they open at 12. We were okay to wait for 30 min. Spoke with 3 different staff there, they knew we were waiting. Then around 12, this staff came to work, not sure if he is supervisor or manager or what, after he got situated, he asked if we have reservations, we told him no. He goes on saying we have to wait, he has to take care of reservations first, explained to him that no one told us for 30 min, that we need to make reservations. Asked how long we had to wait, said he didn’t know. Then later, another guest for 2, asked him how long the wait is. He told them 45 min. Why he can’t tell us but can give an estimate to other guests? I even spoke with one of the ladies who we spoke when we arrived that the guys said we have to wait, she was surprised. Why can’t the staff there align with their own policies? We even called a couple of days before and told reservations are not required. For goodness sake, this is a buffet place, it’s huge, only 6-7 parties have reservations and they can’t sit us? He might have a bad night and not happy he had to work on new year day, he forgot how to treat his customers! This place is not cheap, I’ll rather spend my money somewhere else who know how to treat their...

CRUEL to Elderly & STARVING Toddler - Told "We Don't Have to Serve You"

FIRST VISIT (ELDERLY MISTREATMENT): Months ago, my 70-year-old mother and friend’s elderly mom were forced to stand in an empty restaurant because a manager refused to seat us while our friend parked (15 mins away). No benches existed. Only after exhausting pleas did he relent.

We thought it would be a coincident… but…

TODAY (6/19/2025 - TODDLER TRAUMA): We arrived with our hungry 3-year-old (plus 2 families en route to arrive in 15 min). The host recognized us and "granted" a table as a "courtesy" but REFUSED to let us order ANY food —even for our sobbing toddler—until all arrived. We begged to: Order for our crying child, Pre-order for the others (we knew their choices). The host RUDELY SNEERED: "We don’t have to serve you. You can go." We were trapped—friends were already coming—so we endured humiliation while our toddler wailed. AGAIN, the restaurant was EMPTY.

WHY 1 STAR? 🤬 "WE DON’T HAVE TO SERVE YOU": Unforgivable cruelty to a distressed family. 👵 SENIORS FORCED TO STAND: No empathy for elderly guests. 👶 HUNGRY TODDLER DENIED FOOD: Staff watched a child cry without compassion. 💀 ZERO FLEXIBILITY: Empty tables, yet policy weaponized against guests. 🔁 PATTERN OF ABUSE: Same dehumanizing treatment months apart.

WARNING: Avoid if you value dignity. Management trains staff to prioritize arrogance over humanity. We’ll never return—and no family/elderly group should risk...
