Q-Pot Korean BBQ & Hotpot

By Anna Yue Feb. 14, 2024

Located in Silver Creek, Q-Pot Korean BBQ & Hotpot is an all-you-can-eat Korean buffet providing an excellent array of options for customers craving a warm and delicious meal. My family decided to dine here when we received an excellent review from my brother’s friend.

The restaurant was bustling with guests when I visited on a Sunday evening. Upon entering, I was astounded by the long waitlist, estimated to be over an hour. Luckily, due to our large party size of five, we were able to be seated within 30 minutes. Although hotpot and barbecue can be served simultaneously at an additional cost, we decided to go with just the hotpot for its all-you-can-eat price. All orders of meat and vegetables, as well as soup bases and drinks, are done through an iPad. 

The store offers many hotpot additions, from lettuce, napa cabbage and bean sprouts to thinly sliced pork, beef and lamb, as well as various kinds of seafood and less common items like iced tofu and sweet potato noodles. Mouthwatering soup bases included Japanese Miso, Spicy Tofu Soup and Creamy Milk. I especially enjoyed the Healthy Herb soup base for its light yet savory taste. These pots can be swapped out anytime, allowing customers to taste multiple flavors. 

Each table has an electric stove that can be independently controlled, offering versatility to satisfy every customer’s preference. Dishes are brought ready to be cooked within two minutes of submitting an order. A variety of condiments are available to be self-served, ranging from fresh spring onion and minced garlic to hot chili sauce and ponzu sauce. Other more common seasonings like soy sauce, vinegar and sesame oils are placed in jars on a separate table on the other side of the display, so make sure not to overlook them. After your heavy meal, be sure to check out their dessert section; the cold, refreshing fruits and cheesecake will not disappoint. 

If you do not mind a long wait, Q-Pot is the perfect place to enjoy an all-you-can-eat hotpot with countless food options for an affordable price. I particularly appreciated the special attention to detail, like the cold desserts to balance out the hotpot and the mouthwash in the bathrooms. I am already planning to visit again for their Korean Barbecue menu!
