Edit: our most recent visit on 6/21/17 left me questioning if we will ever return. I left my original review because it deserved it at the time. Anyway, this most recent visit was terrible. I dont really want to pay 60 dollars for 2 of us to get crappy service. Our waitress just left dirty dishes on our table even if they were clearly empty. They wouldnt replace the grill top when it was clearly just burning off liquid on it. The smoke coming off it was horrible. I ordered soup but never got a refill on my broth or another order of ingredients to put in it. I asked but she never came. We decided it wasnt worth the hassle and left. I doubt we will return. Original review: Yes its expensive lets just get that out of the way. Its expensive but its very much worth it. The customer service was fantastic and the employees are helpful in explaining the process. If your grill gets to much burnt on stuff they will replace the top for you. Theyll bring you more broth so you can keep having soup. In my opinion it was all very worth it. They have different prices for the week days and weekend. If you want the cheapest option go then. Ample places to park and a nice selection of places to sit. It was a great experience we cant wait to go back.

This place is overpriced for what you get. For a simply all you can "eat" barbecue youre getting ripped off. We ordered 2 plates of meat, we only got one 1. Had a simple excuse of oh youre order is being backed up, waited 40 minutes to the point where youre not even hungry because of annoyance. The manager came out saying he personally brought the food, when he never did confirmed by our server. And the mangers excuse is oh it was too busy. They didnt even offer to bring us out our food weve been waiting for, nor give us even a 10% discount for the terrible service. Terrible manger, felt bad for our server. Dont waste $30 on a place like this for scraps. Hell McDonalds has better service then this.

This place is relatively new and is very promising. Expensive but worth it because its all you can eat and you can take any leftover raw meat to go. I would recommend getting either the soup or bbq on your first visit as you may overestimate how much you can eat. Then maybe get both next time and definitely go with a group. Its more fun that way. The beer was good but not all was advertised on the menu. I love Japanese Asahi but I settled for Chinese Tsingtao. When I went to pay I saw Asahi behind the bar. Anyways, the food is excellent, especially when you make your own soup. Youll find yourself becoming very creative as there are so many meats, veggies and soup bases and sauces to choose from

I have never been to a bad Korean restaurant until now. This is not real Korean food and its a rip off. The meat was just ok The kimshi soup was like water. I asked for a to go box and was told the box was $5 a box after spending over $100 for 2 people. I ordered hot saki and the first batch wasnt bad but the second was obviously mostly water. I couldnt believe it! My girlfriend who is Korean asked the waitress if the owner was Chinese and they are. This is not a Korean place. A third of the menu is Chinese food not korean and its obvious that none of it is cooked by a Korean. And charging for a box and watered down saki. I will never go back to this trash place. SUCKS!

First experience at a Korean style BBQ restaurant. Had an enjoyable time. Service was impeccable. TK was very attentive and friendly the whole time we were there. Our hot pots were constantly filled with broth, meat was plentiful and our drinks were never empty. Lots of meat, seafood and vegetable options for both the hotpot and BBQ. There is a sauce bar with tons of sauces and spices for you to mix and match to go with your broth or to dip your BBQ. Also side items available such as kimchi over by the sauce bar. Come hungry! Its all you can eat so get your moneys worth! We were informed there is no time limit so you can just sit and eat all day if you want lol.

I decided to drive our to this place out of curiosity to tryaienthing new and I wa snot disappointed. The amount of food they give you is outstanding and the amount if seasonings and combinations you can make are just great. It takes you a minute to understand how tour supposed to cook your food but after you get the hang of it you cant stop eating. My husband and I almost feel asleep at the table just from us going into a food coma. The nicer thing is our water was very attentive and I never had an empty glass and the manger of this place is now giving everyone 25% their whole bill. Dont know what but was very happy and will always keep coming back.

This place is awesome! The biggest downside is the pricing model. Its very straight forward how pricing works, but its honestly too expensive. They need to introduce more a la carte pricing in addition to the all you can eat menu. This way it can be more affordable to everyone. If youre a big eater and can put away some food, then no issues for you. Otherwise the ingredients are fresh and delicious. This is a place to go and enjoy your meal with your company. Service is fast, yet you are generally cooking your own food to your liking, so ensure you have adequate time to enjoy your experience.

Overpriced inauthentic "korean" food. Waiter was quite rude to my boyfriend and I. When I asked if they had galbi he didnt even know what I was talking about! I also asked if our BBQ could come out before the hotpot and he argued with me about it. Prepare to get all of your utensils and soggy canned side dishes yourself. Grill burns all the food so you cant even enjoy eating because you constantly have to pay attention to the grill and your hotpot. Waste of money and the restaurant is a joke. Go to Sari one in Tampa if youre looking for more authentic korean food in the area.

The food is delicious and the atmosphere is nice. Its an all-you-can-eat place, with an option for hot pot or Korean barbeque. They also had a salad bar with fruit which was an unexpected bonus. The hot pot cooking takes a while and is good for a leisurely meal to chat with friends or family. Its a bit expensive but overall an enjoyable experience and I will be back. I think it would be nice if they had an a la carte option in addition to the all you can eat option.

Unique concept for Pinellas, maybe even most of Tampa Bay. Your choice of various broths, a grill, or both, which you use to cook your choice of a wide, unlimited menu of vegetables, four or five types of tofu, chicken, lamb, beef, shrimp, fish, and assorted other meats. You will leave well satisfied, but smelling of the cooking. Despite that, even my most picky dining companion periodically suggests Q-Pot for dinner. Highly, highly recommended.

If you want the Korean Hot Pot experience for the first time, definitely come here. But if youre looking for super high quality, Id go somewhere else. Although its not the most flavorful thing, they provide tons of sauces and a salad bar to assist your meal. Its all you can eat and you cook your food right in front of you. The service is fast and friendly and its good for the price.
