KPOT Announces Opening of 80th Location, First Location in NYC

Korean BBQ & Hot Pot restaurant offers all-you-can-eat experience for diners, creates sense of community

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot, a unique, hands-on, all-you-can-eat dining experience that merges traditional Asian Hot Pot with Korean BBQ flavors, today announces the opening of its 80^th location, which also happens to be its first location in New York City located at 310 W 38th St in Manhattan’s Midtown West neighborhood.

KPOT offers a diverse culinary experience with an extensive selection of premium meats, fresh seafood, and crisp vegetables for both its BBQ and Hot Pot offerings. The Hot Pot menu offers a variety of noodles and soy-based options; guests can customize their experience by choosing from eight distinctive soup bases, each offering a unique flavor profile to complement their meal.

"We're thrilled to bring KPOT's unique dining experience to the vibrant culinary landscape of New York City," says Margaret M. Farrell, Head of Marketing for Vertex Hospitality. "New York is home to diverse and energetic food lovers, which aligns perfectly with KPOT's mission to bring people together over innovative, interactive dining. We can't wait to see New Yorkers gather around our grills, cooking up delicious meals and creating unforgettable moments and connections."

KPOT's groundbreaking concept is reshaping the culinary landscape, sparking a new era in interactive dining. Born from four friends from different backgrounds who blended their cuisines over a shared table, KPOT opened its first location in 2018. Since then, the company has experienced incredible growth. In fact, KPOT had only three units open at the end of 2020. By the end of 2023, 55 locations were open. Today, KPOT sits at 80 locations and growing.

KPOT is for both the food adventurers and the social eaters. It's about tasting the global spices and seasonings, all while feeling a sense of community. It's hot pot and Korean BBQ, modernized with a full bar and nightlife atmosphere. But in the true spirit of those four friends, KPOT is mostly about gathering together for lively conversation over a feast of good food.
