The restaurant opened last week at Overland Park’s Corbin Park shopping center.
KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot opened at 7001 W. 135th St.

KPOT serves Asian hot pot with a barbecue twist
- The restaurant’s traditional Asian hot pot is served with meat, seafood and vegetables that customers cook in a bowl of hot soup at the table.
- Korean barbecue restaurants are becoming more popular in the United States. For those new to this growing trend, customers will cook the barbecue themselves at a grill in the center of their table. The menu has a variety of sliced meats, such as kobe beef and pork belly.
- Hot pot is cooked in a soup base of choice, such as Japanese miso, mushroom or Korean seafood tofu.
- The menu also features a variety of side dishes like shrimp dumplings, tempura, fried tofu skin and fish cakes.
This is KPOT’s first Johnson County location
- It’s also the first in the Kansas City metro area.
- The restaurant has several other locations across the country, including in Colorado, Illinois and Georgia.
- KPOT is the latest addition to the Corbin Park shopping center, following the opening of a pet supplies retailer Petco and the new primary care clinic for the University of Kansas Health System.
