KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot in Kearny, NJ, has rapidly become a local gem for lovers of Korean cuisine. With an enticing menu featuring BBQ and hot pot options, guests rave about the quality of the meat—particularly the tender beef belly and the wide array of flavorful sauces available at the buffet-style table. Diners can’t help but appreciate the unique experience of cooking their own meals right at the table, allowing for a personal touch to each bite.

I can’t wait to return and indulge in the inviting ambiance and delectable offerings once again!

Reviews For KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot Kearny

This was my first time at KPOT and I will definitely be back. I had BBQ only, at 21 per person plus white rice. The meat was good, quality wise, but the star of the show was the beef belly and the many sauces on hand at the buffet style table in the back. You're really just cooking thin strips of mostly unseasoned meat at the table, but when you add sauce, it really completes the flavor profile. I like how attentive the servers were. We always had a clean tray to cook different things on and didn't have to mix beef, chicken and pork. My only nit pick would be, that the table could've been bigger, so I'm not eating, inches away from a bowl of raw chicken. I was there for lunch so maybe the dinner tables are bigger. I'll see next time. Definitely worth a try.

Calvin provided exceptional service from start to finish! He was attentive, kind, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. His friendly demeanor and professionalism truly enhanced our dining experience. It’s rare to find someone who goes above and beyond with such genuine care. We’ll definitely be back and will be asking for Calvin again

Our server Nicolas was fantastic; he immediately asked us if we’ve been to the establishment or not so that he could show us how to cook the food like he demonstrated for other tables. He also right away asked us if either my mother or I had allergies so that there wasn’t any cross contamination or anything which was appreciated. He was extremely friendly and often walked by to check up on us. Thank you!

I had the pleasure of dining at KPOT in Kearny and I can confidently say that the experience was made exceptional thanks to the manager, Louis. From the moment we walked in, Louis greeted us with a genuine smile and made us feel like VIPs. Throughout our meal, Louis checked in with our table, made sure everything was running smoothly, and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. He handled the busy environment with total professionalism, never missing a beat. His attention to detail, calm energy, and commitment to great service truly stood out. It’s rare to find a manager who is not only hands-on and attentive but also truly passionate about creating a memorable experience for guests. Louis is a huge asset to the KPOT team, and because of him, we’ll definitely be returning. If you’re visiting KPOT Kearny, know you’re in excellent hands with Louis running the show. Five stars all the way! Where ever this manager goes I will definitely dine in. He’s is one of the reasons I continue to come back to this specific K-pot establishment!!!!!!

First time trying out this hot pot thing. I liked it. Very different. The outside of the place looks very different than the inside. Not appealing from the outise but inside is a beautiful setup. It's not my favorite type of food but the atmosphere and service was excellent. Kids enjoyed it. It's like a 2 hour all you can eat buffet and you cook your own food. Good experience.

I had an amazing experience at KPOT, and a huge part of that was thanks to Wendy! She was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made sure everything at our table was perfect from start to finish. Wendy checked in often without being intrusive and was quick to bring out anything we needed. Her upbeat attitude and excellent service really made our visit special. Thank you, Wendy, for going above and beyond—we’ll definitely be back because of you!

Absolutely loved it here. Diana was our server and she was sweet. It was our first time trying KPot and she made sure to explain everything so patiently. Not only did she answer all our questions but also made she sure we ordered the right things and weren’t short of the amazing experience. The food is absolutely delicious and reasonable. The cleanliness of this place is top notch and just everyone around is so friendly, helpful and welcoming.
