Columbus, OH Edition: KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot

By Candace Nelson - 12:46 AM

I've been wanting to check out Korean BBQ for a long time, but options are very limited in West Virginia. Fortunately, I had a trip planned to Columbus where I was meeting up with friends, which was the perfect opportunity to try it out. KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot is a Korean barbecue and hot pot chain with a location in Columbus. The concept combines two interactive dining styles in one meal: Korean BBQ, where you grill meats at your table, and hot pot, where you cook meats, vegetables, noodles, and seafood in a simmering broth. You can choose Korean BBQ, hot pot or both. Step 1: Choose from 30 different meats, seafood, and veggies - like pork belly, steak, chicken, fish, shrimp and bulgogi. We weren't sure how many items to order, and they are all included in the total price. So, we may have gone overboard. We ordered: Sliced Ribeye, Sliced Pork Belly, Sliced Prime Brisket, Crab Meat, Spam, Shrimp Dumplings, Tempura, Quail Eggs, Gyoza, Fresh Corn, Black Fungus, Udon, Rice Cake, Ramen Noodle, Vermicelli, Spicy Beef Bulgogi, Steak, Short Ribs, Garlic Chicken, Spicy Calamari, Garlic Shrimp, Pineapple, Zucchini, Garlic, Sweet Potato, Onion, Beech Mushroom, King Oyster Mushroom, Lobster Balls, Shumai, Baby Octopus, Fried Tofu, Broccoli, Bok Choy, Napa Cabbage, Mung Bean Sprout, Sliced Pumpkins, Daikon, Fried Taro, Eggplant, Potato, Baby Bamboo Shoot, King Mushroom, Shiitake Mushroom, Beech Mushroom, Enoki Mushroom & Lotus Root. STEP 2: Make your own sauce. There are millions of possibilities to craft a perfect dipping sauce. STEP 3: Grab your sides. There are some appetizers from the hot bar. STEP 4: Then, it's time to grill. Everything takes different amounts of time to cook, so it can get a bit tricky. For hot pot, it's mostly the same, except you choose a soup base. And, it was a great deal to do both. They offer Thai tom yum, Szechuan spicy, tomato, healthy herbs, Japanese miso, Korean seafood tofu, mushroom and gluten-free. In addition to all of that, they offer bubble tea. So, why NOT have a milk tea? The cup was a nice material, too, that I reused for the day. So, it's more about the interactive experience here. It's fun, it's a bit of work and it's mostly up to you what the flavor ultimately is. But I enjoyed it. Grade: A
