For a mid tier Korean bbq place, this is very good. Service is wicked fast and courteous, but a little too inattentive (basically a set and forget kind of service), food is good. I wish they wouldn't play music all the time. Like we all need a 5 minute break every 30 minutes They make their money off of many tables so it makes sense. We ordered hot pot and kbbq. The only hot pot worth ordering is the spicy Taiwanese. Young children (we had 3 & 1 yr old) eat free!

It had been about five years since I last visited this place, and I was eagerly looking forward to returning. However, my excitement quickly turned to disappointment after tasting the quality of the food. While I’ve had delicious Korean food in other places, this establishment fell short. The meat was of poor quality and unappetizing, and the sides were unappetizing and not fresh. The service was also lacking, with the waiter barely making an appearance. I’ll definitely make a trip to Cupertino or Santa Clara for Korean food to experience better quality. I won’t be returning to this place.

The food was good. For groups, you’ll need to decide whether everyone will be doing hot pot, KBBQ, or both (everyone at the table must choose the same option.) Ordering is done via a tablet at the table. We didn’t receive much attention on a weekday evening and had to flag down our waiter for water and grill changes. The atmosphere is fairly open, giving a sense of space between tables, though there are times when you may be seated directly next to another group. I’d tentatively visit this spot again. While the food was good, the service wasn’t as attentive as I’d expect, especially given the price.

I visited Q Pot Korean BBQ & Hot Pot in San Jose to celebrate my uncle and my belated birthday. The atmosphere was upbeat and welcoming, and the tablet ordering system made the experience feel modern and efficient. Staff were attentive, and the complimentary coffee cake added a thoughtful touch to the celebration. The garlic butter shrimp and spicy miso broth stood out as crowd favorites, and the seafood variety—though limited—was fresh enough to satisfy most diners. It’s a solid spot for group outings, especially if you enjoy customizing your meal and sharing plates. That said, the experience wasn’t without flaws. Some of the BBQ meats felt average in flavor, and the japchae leaned chewy without much seasoning. One plate arrived with raw meat sauce pooled under a piece of lettuce, which raised concerns about cross-contamination and overall hygiene. While the restaurant handles high volume well, cleanliness and plating care need improvement to match the quality of service. Q Pot has the bones of a great AYCE spot, but a few refinements could make it truly dependable.

Overall a great experience. Lunch is a very affordable price, even for both BBQ and HotPot at 27 an adult. Dinner is a bit pricier but definitely not absurd. 2 Hours is also a very generous eating time, I took my time and found myself full 20 minutes early. The staff were all very nice and the meat was great. All items are brought to your table instead of being grabbed buffet style. There were some delays on items, specifically the non raw meat items such as a bowl of rice.
