King Pot Korean Bbq & Hot Pot - Grand Rapids, Michigan

I love coming here. I love the dining experience, and the food is always so good. I also love that because of its setup, you can see pictures of your food before you order it on the tablet.
The tablet setup is simple and easy to understand, and I'm never disappointed in service there.

Our waitress was so wonderful!! I believe her name was Eileen. We told her it was my first time with Hot Pot. She explained how everything worked, was kind and attentive. The food was perfect! I ordered the herby broth. Everything was delicious! The restaurant was clean, and the atmosphere was homey.

My wife and I love going to Korean Barbecue and Hot Pot restaurants. They are always such a good time and you can make the food right at your table. The food here was seasoned great! We especially liked the short ribs and the pork belly options! We wished they brought more veggies when we asked for them. They gave us two mushrooms and 3 slices of zucchini. We would have liked a bowl of each. Other than that the food service was good. Our waitress seemed a little unenthusiastic and forgot our selections once, but was friendly.
I would come here again for sure and they have tables big enough for large groups!

A fun experience for friends and family. The pricing is super fair, and you can eat to your heart's (or stomach's) content. There is a sauce bar that has a great selection of options, ranging from basic soy sauce to house sauces that are delicious.

It's a fun way to spend time together, while cooking your food how you like it. The service staff is friendly and helpful, regularly checking on the tables to take more orders and even switching out the grill plate if it gets too messy.

So good. So so good. Our server was great at explaining everything with it being our first time. The sliced ribeye is the best in my opinion 🤤 Leaving with a full belly and the leftover flavor left on my tongue making me wish I had some to eat at home! Will definitely be back! Michael has been our server 3 times now and is always the best!

The only comparison I have for Korean BBQ is a delicious hole in the wall in Los Angeles we ate at many years ago. We never found anything quite like it closer to home…until now.

My husband and I visited on a Thursday afternoon shortly before 4:00 and were able to order off of the lunch menu. It’s all you care to eat Korean BBQ or hotpot for $20 or both for another $5. We opted to sample all of the things since the additional cost was minimal.

Our server, Ellie, gave excellent recommendations, which was very helpful since it had been far too long since our last visit. The only thing she neglected to mention was that we could control the hotpot temperature so it was boiling and some of our veggies were a bit mushy, but now we know for our return visit. It was still tasty.

The BBQ was my favorite part, especially the garlic shrimp and chicken. These tasted great straight off the grill or in the myriad of sauces they offer, including recipes posted on how to make fan favorites by combining sauces and various ingredients at their sauce bar.

It made for a fun afternoon and we will definitely be back.

We went here for my birthday celebration today and the server asked me to try to make it easier for him by getting everyone's hot pot/bbq orders so it could all be done at once

I didn't love having to take the order from my whole table since that's why we have a server.

Next, I only had one refill on my pop for the entirety of the meal. The server only came by three times the rest of the meal, and it was over an hour before he came back the first time.

I was only able to get more food one time because our server didn't come by very much after our first set of food came out. We didn't have any silverware for half of our table so half of us were eating while the other half didn't have chopsticks nor forks until one of us eventually just got up to grab them ourselves. The server came by eventually and got us some chopsticks, but I had to ask 2 different people first.

Out of the 12 of us, 3 of us had been to KPot before and all 3 of them told me about the night and day difference in service between KPot and KingPot.

Our table was never cleared at any point of any empty plates so it was just an overwhelming amount of dirty, empty platters.

Nothing was explained to us on how anything worked as it was most of our first time doing any hot pot or Korean bbq, let alone our first time at KingPot.

The server even forgot to come back to take my bill and a different person came back and noticed my card sitting.

Our server was kind, but was way too busy so it made for a very negative experience.

I wont come back and don't recommend based on service alone.

First time to eat here, WOW, absolutely amazing. The food is super fresh and presented to the table perfectly. It is a total blast to cook the way you want.

Our server Jordyn took the time to explain everything to us and took great care of us. We definitely will be back, and pray we get Jordyn again. Completely blown away
