Exciting New KPOT Restaurant Coming to Capital Region

A Capital Region mall is adding a unique restaurant experience. This is a cool take on eating where you prepare your meat and cook it, along with vegetables, at your table.

Something fun and flavorful is coming to Colonie Center. KPOT, a popular Korean BBQ and hot pot restaurant, is opening a new location in mid-2026.

If you’ve never tried it, KPOT is all about interactive dining. You cook your meats and veggies right at your table, either on a grill or in a bubbling pot of broth.

It’s an all-you-can-eat experience, so you can try a little of everything. From seafood and noodles to fresh vegetables and bold sauces, there’s something for everyone.

According to a press release from Colonie Center, VP of Marketing, Margaret Farrell said, “We’re excited to bring our style of dining to the Capital Region. KPOT is about more than food, it’s about having fun together.”

Whether you're out with friends or sharing a meal with family, KPOT makes dinner feel like a special occasion.

Colonie Center is looking to offer more unique dining and entertainment options, and this is part of that push.

“KPOT fits right in with the direction we’re going,” said Adison Johnson, Marketing and Business Development Manager.

The new restaurant will be located on the lower level near Macy’s. Construction is expected to begin later this year.

KPOT joins other popular spots at the mall like The Cheesecake Factory, P.F. Chang’s, and BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse.
