I think we need to try that hotpot next time 🤤

[@Sir-Ray]

I've never been to KPot, so thanks for the review. It looks amazing - so definitely adding to our list of places to visit. Looks like A LOT of food! Love Teppan Edo - the chefs are amazing and really put on a good show. Definitely on the pricey side - especially now Disney is raising prices across the board AGAIN (what is in their mind? People are already not going. I don't get their thought process). Thanks again for the review. Be well.

[@Dillon.Thomas]

Honestly, for the price, and it being all you can eat.... It was a TON of food! You should definitely try it out, we plan on going back soon for the Hotpot for sure. We definitely plan on trying Teppan Edo at some point, it's just so hard because of how much more pricey it is over another Japanese Steakhouse. But I have heard a few very good thigs about it. Also, those price hikes... unreal... Definitely will have to chat about my thoughts on it in an upcoming video. There are so many price increases year over year at the parks, and this time literally just about EVERYTHING. Not a great hit to the fans or the vacationers.

[@jacklyncalderone8930]

The sesame balls have red bean paste in it. Soooo yummy

[@Dillon.Thomas]

Is that what it is??? I was a fan of them, Nicole thought they were just OK. But I really enjoyed them, and it was the first time I had ever seen/tried them!

[@No0Snakes]

I had them in japan I guess imma have to checkout k pot

[@Dillon.Thomas]

@@No0Snakes I can imagine authentic Japanese ones might be better, but these were still good!

[@Cub1XWithCubes]

By the way just so you know (I'm not trying to sound snobby) those potato looking squares at the start of the video are diamonds radish kimchi. They are a lot sweeter and spicier than normal kimchi.

[@Dillon.Thomas]

I appreciate the info! We don't know much of anything when it comes to hotpot/korean bbq items. We've tried to look up a bit, but we always appreciate information, corrections or tips/tricks haha.

[@CodeDeb]

You were insane not to pay the extra $5 for both!

[@Dillon.Thomas]

I know! We thought about it after, but we were so stuffed even with what we had, we figure we will do the hotpot next visit!

[@WV-HillBilly]

My belly didn't hold enough to thoroughly enjoy just the BBQ portion. I definitely would have missed out on most of it if I added broth.

[@luna-mo3ol]

I just went for the first time and we got both, but man we were way too stuffed by the time we were done with the hotpot to really eat any of the BBQ. It can maybe be done if you're ravenous and prepare for it 😂 but it is a LOT of food and it's easier to just do one

[@peacefuldays4255]

Right got to do both

[@peacefuldays4255]

​@@luna-mo3olYeah man because that hot pot is filling

[@anh-huytran6312]

Glad you guys had fun! If you ever need a guide. My fiance and I will be glad to walk you guys through kbbq, hot pot, boba endeavors. Show you some food combinations, sauces combos and tips and tricks! New locations too. Wanna make sure you have the best time possible.

[@Dillon.Thomas]

It was a ton of fun! We definitely plan on doing some hotpot next time. That looked so good, I think we like the noodles in our dishes, too. Do you and your fiance go to a lot of the korean BBQ/hotpot locations around?? I'm sure there's a better way to "do it" also. It was just unfortunately our first time, so it was overwhelming, but fun!

[@anh-huytran6312]

@Dillon.Thomas all the time. We go a bit too often. We go to a lot of buffets in general. But kbbq and hotpot are places we look for. There are just so many options, especially when it's your first time. We have some all-time fave spots like bulgogi house for kbbq. Best kbbq for the price and authentic quality. Hot pot wise I would say, is juicy pot and 818 hot pot and kbbq. There are so many options out there.

[@Dillon.Thomas]

@@anh-huytran6312 Oh wow, so there's a number of places that are specifically just Kbbq or just hotpot? That's great information! We will have to try some of those locations you've mentioned, we don't typically do any buffets. I feel like most of them feel not very good in terms of food quality, but maybe there's better options out there outside of just the golden corrals lol. Thank you again for those recommendations!!

[@jamesmoulliet5615]

Kpot is the besstt

[@Pauls_Adventures]

Cool experience! Y’all should definitely do more food reviews in places outside the parks so much to choose from I’ll be doing some when I catch up on time 😂

[@Dillon.Thomas]

It's a lot of fun! We plan to do a bit more, just have to find the time for it and find something we're serious about trying. 😄

[@Pauls_Adventures]

@@Dillon.Thomas I can definitely understand that 😂

[@Mymysticmama]

sweet red bean paste in the sesame balls. YUM

[@Dillon.Thomas]

I kind of enjoyed them, not so much Nicole, though haha! 🤣

[@HavikkGamez]

enjoyed the video i love k pot it is a better experience going with someone who is culinary inclined to give insight on some dishes and methods you can construct some traditional like using the lettuce to make wraps with the kimchi and bbq and cooking methods but the experience is still fun new sub!

[@Dillon.Thomas]

Thank you! I appreciate it! I do think it would be a lot more fun with some more culinary experts in the realm of this style of meal, but I don't know if we know anyone that is haha. Or... we haven't asked enough!

[@NS-zi5ij]

Try the kimchi for the side dishes, it’s very good for eating together with Korean barbecue 😊👍

[@Dillon.Thomas]

I think we actually tried it! Or maybe Nicole did, but then you for the recommendation, we will definitely put it all together next time 😄

[@NS-zi5ij]

You’re welcome. Did you ever try grilled kimchi and then put together with a little bit steam rice and grilled meat wrapped all of them with lettuce… Yummy!

[@Dillon.Thomas]

@NS-zi5ij I have not tried that! We don't typically have kimchi, but we've had it a few times. Probably only enough to count on one hand haha! But we're always looking for new ideas and items! So we can always try that, too 😆

[@weaseljavelin9443]

My name is Craig Dennis happy Friday to you i watch your new videos all the time i in joy all of your videos all the time you have a nice safe day today you have a nice safe weekend you take care today👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Dillon.Thomas]

Thanks Craig! Happy Friday!

[@jalpert]

Go back. Get the short rib. Win.

[@Dillon.Thomas]

We do plan on going back! We've gotten good feedback on what to do next time haha.

[@JohnKollar]

Hiya Dillon, Hibachi at Epcot is great, we have eaten there several times - but it is pricey (so normally my parents paid) But then with three kids, everything can get expensive. Korean BBQ is wonderful - and Hot Pot is also great - but for Hot Pot I would recommend finding a Chinese place that has a large buffet style (much bigger then the bugget in the video) with noodles, veggies, etc - although meat would be more a-la-carte. If you ever come to NYC, let me know and we will take you to Chinese Hot Pot - LOL! Cool to see other stuff in the area. Do a video about Legoland if you can at some point - if you are trying to spread out on topics. -John PS: Looks like we will be down in April.

[@Dillon.Thomas]

Hello! I definitely want to try the hibachi at EPCOT, but that price tag is rough, since you can definitely get it cheaper at all the other locations outside of the park. I didn't realize there were Chinese BBQ's as well haha, we may need to try and look for some of those options around here! I really like the idea of the hot pot vs the bbq style. So I'm excited to try that as well. If we make our way up to NYC, we'll definitely have to let you know! I've only ever been to New York once in my entire life haha. We've talked about Legoland, actually! But I've heard without having a kid, you can't actually buy a ticket and get in. I don't know all the details to that, but I have heard that once upon a time. But I think it would be a great thing to showcase for people. So we'll do more details on it! April will be a great time to visit, I know springbreak crowds are around, but it's still great for weather!

[@veronicasommer5513]

The hotpot is very good.

[@Dillon.Thomas]

We definitely have plans to try it soon!

[@brandonlasvegas]

😎

[@Welldunn]

The veteran/pro move is to mix the sauces

[@Dillon.Thomas]

Oh! We'll have to try that next time!

[@user-bb8mh7nr3t]

So how do u order the food

[@Dillon.Thomas]

@user-bb8mh7nr3t the server comes to the table, and then you just order the option you want and then they bring the meats!

[@user-bb8mh7nr3t]

@@Dillon.Thomas oh so no tablets ?

[@Dillon.Thomas]

@@user-bb8mh7nr3t not at this location, or at least when we went, no.

[@G1ZM0S1S]

Im sure you gf just wanted to experience this with you and not have a video made changing to entire vibe lol but shes an awesome gf for supporting you

[@Dillon.Thomas]

She actually really likes doing the food reviews we do, so that's a plus! She probably likes them more than myself even haha. But she is awesome for supporting me!

[@Mattgroms]

I’m sure you don’t understand how the KZbin guys make money she don’t care

[@blinkytran]

been there it’s not even korean hotpot it’s korean style chinese hotpot 😂

[@Dillon.Thomas]

We have nothing else to compare to, only ever been here haha. But it was good and pretty fun for what it's worth!

[@kim8040]

You can't use chopsticks? C'mon man !!

[@Dillon.Thomas]

Lol I know 🤣 it's sad. I can, kind of, but not well.

[@ducki1970]

well the meat is gona be bland when you just cook it with nothing else

[@Dillon.Thomas]

Ya, we have a lot to learn about the kpot experience haha. 😆

[@ducki1970]

@@Dillon.Thomas don’t worry! First time is always the hardest

[@Dillon.Thomas]

@ducki1970 ya we've gotten a lot of feedback in comments and messages which should help too haha

[@t.thomas1355]

No thanks

[@trex1448]

Its not Korean. Its Chinese copy of Korean food. Its like pizza with ketchup. Hard pass.

[@walmart-vz3lz]

The uneducated decision on the dipping sauces hurt my soul
