We really enjoyed the atmosphere, service and food at K Town BBQ & Hotpot! The employees were fantastic at making recommendations and were very prompt with service. The food was fantastic and of great quality. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming for small or large parties. We went with a large party and the employees handled everything really well. Make this your next spot for Korean BBQ and Hotpot!

Love this place, $20 for weekday lunch and $30 for all day dinner.

I always leave 20 lbs heavier after eating here, mainly a food baby. I always wonder how I haven’t been banned for eating so much.

The side dishes are great my kid loves them and there’s a lot more to choose from compared to k-bbqs I’ve been to.

They change the grill plate regularly so the burnt off sauce from the marinade doesn’t end up ruining your food.

Excellent service and food selection.

Their drink menu is also amazing, especially their bubble tea that has a subtle lavender taste.

Perfect for families, couples or friends that just want to hang out, talk and eat.

Omg this place is SO AMAZING! My friend and I got there in enough time to get a seat because this is usually a packed house restaurant! It is all you can eat hot pot and grilled food, I think we paid $35 /person. The server did such an amazing job, very attentive, patient, and she always made sure I had a full cup of water. This is a great place for a date or if you just wanna get away for like 2hrs to eat. Our server was such an amazing server she was tipped $100… I hope her holiday is great, she truly blessed us

The Best Bang-for-Your-Buck Korean BBQ in Cincinnati

This place just gets it. The vibe, the energy, the endless plates of sizzling meat—it’s everything you want in an all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ experience. KTOWN isn’t just about stuffing yourself with food (though you absolutely can); it’s about having fun while doing it.

Now, let’s be real—some spots might offer slightly better cuts of meat. But here’s the trade-off: for the price, the experience, and the sheer variety, KTOWN is unbeatable. You’re getting a spread of K-BBQ favorites, unlimited portions, and the option to go hotpot too—all at a cost that makes it a no-brainer.

The game plan?
• Short rib is a must.
• Steak? Absolutely, get it on the grill.
• Try everything. No need to pick favorites when you can have it all.
• Rice is non-negotiable. It rounds out the meal perfectly.

But the real surprise? The sauce bar. This is next-level. You get to build your own flavors, mix and match, and take control of how your meal hits. Add in strong appetizers and a surprisingly solid dessert selection, and KTOWN proves they’re not cutting corners.

The atmosphere? Feels like a night out in Seoul’s K-Town. Loud, energetic, and fun. And the cherry on top? Some of the kindest service I’ve had in a long time.

Cincinnati doesn’t have a huge Korean BBQ scene, but KTOWN is absolutely worth it. If you want a night of great food, great value, and an experience that goes beyond just eating—this is your spot.

My fellow Cincinnatians, this place is a true hidden gem. An authentic, all you can eat Korean-style barbeque hot pot restaurant. The decor and atmosphere are exquisite down to the K-Pop music playing in the background. The staff are polite, attentive and, most importantly, always there to make sure your hot pot and plate are full.

As a first time hot pot customer, I was impressed with the variety of meats vegetables and sides they have on their menus. Not to mention the mix and match sauce station so that you can try your hand at crafing just the right concoction to dip your BBQ in. Finally, drinks and desert are available also.

This place is excellent for families and/or large groups looking to get together. As a date night, it will stand out as something uniquely different and adventurous. I highly recommend checking it out! I assure you it will not disappoint.

Love this place. I stopped counting how many times I’ve been. Staff is attentive and quick, the selection of BBQ meats and salad bar is great and who can say no to “all you can eat”

This is probably one of the better (best?) Hot pot experiences I've ever had. I didn't do the Korean bbq portion as the hot pot is easily more than enough. I liked that their stoves had granular settings. A lot of places the burner is either on or not. Ktown has it where you can set it 1-5 for heat. Do note that it can get pretty smoky based on how folks are using their grill. If you are sensitive to smoke I'd stay away. Outside of that the food is great. I'd come back JUST for the fried rice. Saturday and Sunday is all day dinner so pay attention to the pricing if that's of concern to you. Service was great. I didn't have to wait longer when I needed refills or wanted to try something new. Sauce bar is a little daunting if you're u familiar but I was very pleased with my meal here.

Fantastic service, the prices are very fair, fun experience, delicious food. My expectations were exceeded. Ktown broth for the hotpot is SO delicious and buttery. Got there right before 7 on a Saturday, it seemed to get extremely busy just after that so keep that in mind.
