KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot

Korean restaurant, Asian fusion restaurant ★4.0 (470)·$30–50

45 Nathaniel Pl, Englewood, NJ 07631, USA

4.0
I’m not usually a buffet person, it always feels like I never get my money’s worth and food quality isn’t as good. But I’d been hearing a lot about this place, so I decided to give it a try. I went for lunch, and not all the menu items were available. The appetizer bar wasn’t too impressive, but the sauce bar was fun! I tried both the BBQ and the hot pot. I have to say, I preferred the BBQ. The hot pot just wasn’t that great, probably because the broth wasn’t very good. That said, the bulgogi, Kpot pork belly, and prime brisket were pretty good. I wanted to try more, but I got too full. - Anna
