This is the place you go to have fun with your friends, not so much with your family or younger children. It had a colorful party atmosphere and both times I went the music was loud and uncensored. There were also quite a few groups of customers who were tipsy and loud. The food was great with a wide variety of meats, veggies, and soups to choose from. The meats and veggies were fresh and the soups were delicious. Very friendly people up front but our waiter wasn't as hospitable. Overall, the food is delicious but the environment is definitely aimed for adults.
They have a very good quality of meat and seafood. It is very convenient that you could just place your orders through a tablet that's connected to each table . You can also make your own sauce and I really liked that idea. We had the hotpot as well and I chose the spicy tofu which was very good. Great customer service. This is our new favorite Korean bbq restaurant.
RESTROOMS: 4/5SERVICE: 5/5FOOD: 4/5EFFECIENCY: 5/5COST/BENEFIT: 4/5The RESTROOM was not perfect but not bad either. There was not paper towels or tissue lying around. No obvious water stains on the sink (which would show lack of cleaning) or dried stains near the urinals. The electronic hand dryer is very effective and reduces over all waste. Only concern is that an inward swinging door can swipe you if you aren't leaning to the left.The SERVICE is definitely where this restaurant shines. The minute you walk in you'll notice a convenient tablet where you can register for the wait list. There are at least two workers monitoring the flow and calling out names. Our server was very fast and I mean fast with every thing we ordered. She made sure to refill our drinks without even us asking. The server explained out to order and would come by from time to time to ask if we needed our grill changed. It was never an issue if we asked passerby server for help (this is a huge problem at chain restaurants).We have been to a lot of Korean restaurants and the very best tend to be in Koreatown but this restaurant is really the best for Korean FOOD in the south bay / silicon Valley region. Everything was very flavorful. No unnecessary fat. There was even a self serve sauce bar. Honestly no complaints at all with the food.EFFICIENCY... this place was the very best in efficient use of space, staff, technology and teamwork. The restaurant was huge and there were no empty seats but even then we never felt cramped. The host had all the Korean side dishes prepped and saran wrapped at the front counter ready to be brought to the table. There was very little if any wait for any additional orders. The staff seemed very good at communicating and showed teamwork at all times. No one was slow walking. Everyone had a purpose.The cost of about $30/person for the BBQ dinner is an exceptional value and the benefits far exceeded any cost as we had six total meat dishes including cheese corn. We left full but not uncomfortable. We felt that we got more than our money's worth.The last point I want to make is on morale. Something no one really talks about. From a customer perspective, the morale appeared high. I saw server's helping each other, smiling, talking. I saw two servers bump each other and play it off as if they were friends. Everyone worked like they were in it together.Yes. We will come again. Yes there is a 60 minute wait. It's worth it.
New obsession!Loved this place. It was my second time coming here and the food is incredible! Not only because you’re cooking it to your taste/pallet, but its FRESH, CLEAN, and the friendly staff will help with suggestions too!They have an open bar as well to hang at, but sitting and eating is really where it is at. Even though you order on the tablet, servers will come over to check if you need anything. Great hospitality!
The food was good the service was great but the speakers need to be fix. Plenty of parking when we got there.
I don’t understand how you can run out of food when it’s during peak hours? First, they ran out of the banchan, specifically the fish cakes, then their ordering tablet didn’t work, and worst of all, they brought out the wrong beer pitcher for us.We didn’t even get a chance to try their “dessert”. They would have fruits and small cakes at the sauce bar. But once they’re gone, they don’t refill.I wouldn’t recommended this location. It’s not worth your money or calories.
Omg, the food was amazing!. I had the Thom yum hot pot and it was on point. The Korean BBQ items was fire. To top it off, the service was one of theeee best I've experienced. I will definitely be going back. It was worth the 2.5 hr drive.
We did the hot pot and kbbq combo. Both were good but I'll probably just pick one next time because I got too full.For kbbq I liked the plain pork belly and beef finger meat the most. The brisket and pork jowl was okay. Also tried the garlic pork belly but my sister and I both preferred plain. The garlic seasoning made it just taste like sausage to me. I tend to prefer not heavily seasoned or marinated meats for kbbq though.For the hotpot, I got the Healthy Herbs soup base which I really liked. My sister got the spicy tofu soup which came with clams, shrimp, etc inside the soup. I liked adding instant ramen to the hotpot though not sure I can recommend it for everyone because it fills you up meaning you won't be able to order as much meat (this place is AYCE). The beef brisket for hotpot was my favorite. They also have other nice options like pumpkin, pig blood, etc. Also note if you order rice, they give a lot of rice, it's overflowing from the bowl so consider sharing.
Good all you can eat Korean bbq. Very good quality food and good service.
This was a delicious and entertaining experience that really showcases the best of AYCE Korean BBQ and hotpot together.We went for dinner the day before valentine's day and were quickly seated, the whole restaurant was kept clean and all of the staff were wearing their masks properly. Steve, our main waiter, was exceptional. He is an energetic and friendly fellow who immediately cultivates an inviting atmosphere and made the dinner into a memorable experience.The spread of meats and sides covers all of the expected cuts of beef, pork, and seafood, with the novel split between the options for BBQ and the thinner cuts for hot pot. The meat was fresh and brought to the table quickly after being ordered from the table iPad.Overall, Q Pot brought forth good food, excellent staff, and is a wonderful example of what KBBQ should be.
