KPOT is Coming to Lafayette

KPOT is a hands-on, all-you-can-eat-style restaurant that combines Asian hot pot with Korean BBQ flavors. They are also known for their full bar and nightlife-like atmosphere, making it a great date night spot.

They currently have more than 50 locations nationwide and they are planning on adding more, including here in Lafayette. According to The Advocate, KPOT will take over the former Tuesday Morning location at 3605 Ambassador Caffery Parkway, which has been vacant since they closed all their locations after announcing bankruptcy.

KPOT opened their first location in 2018 and has continued to expand across the country ever since.

PSince opening our first location in 2018, KPOT has become a crowd favorite for traditional Korean BBQ and Hot Pot. We are consistently highly recognized for excellent food, ambiance, and service

At this Korean BBQ and hot pot joint, you can indulge without breaking the bank. At their other locations  you can enjoy the best of both worlds with unlimited access to Korean BBQ and hot pot delights for around $37 and lunch on weekdays between 12 and 4 pm,  $22 for one or $27 for both.

What is a Hot Pot?

The dining experience is designed for group enjoyment, with each table accommodating up to six people.

Everyone gets their own personal hot pot with a choice of eight soup bases. One reviewer raves about the "healthy herb" broth, which adds a flavorful twist to every bite. And with a smorgasbord of options ranging from succulent beef and pork to fresh seafood, crispy veggies, and slurp-worthy noodles, there's something to satiate every craving. KPOT also has a variety of protein options from brisket, gyoza, pork belly, to spicy chicken bulgogi.

And when you thought it couldn't get any better, there's a buffet spread featuring fried chicken, egg rolls, sesame balls, fries, fruit, and desserts, not to mention a sauce bar for crafting your own delectable concoctions. It's a culinary adventure you won't want to miss!
