HANPOT Announces Its October 10 Soft Opening in Moore, Oklahoma

The AYCE restaurant also confirms a $5 surcharge for combining Korean BBQ and hot pot.

October 10, 2026 • Oklahoma • BY BUFFET AUTHORITY

HANPOT has announced an October 10 soft opening at 11 a.m. in Moore, Oklahoma, putting a date on the Korean BBQ and hot-pot restaurant’s earlier coming-soon plans. Its website also answers another useful question: combining both formats costs an additional $5 per person.

The restaurant at 925 SW 25th Street advertises all-you-can-eat weekday lunch at $20.99, Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Dinner, weekends and holidays are listed at $32.99. The combined BBQ-and-hot-pot option is limited to 80 guests daily.

For anyone who had already been negotiating between a grill and a simmering pot, that $5 addition gives the discussion a number. The earlier October 5 Wire story reported the proposed base prices but did not yet have an opening date or a combined-format charge.

HANPOT’s current announcement distinguishes the soft opening from a grand opening whose date remains unannounced. That distinction also governs its opening promotions: giveaway entries begin October 10, with the drawing planned for one month after the grand opening.

The advertised hours are Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m.–10 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m.–11 p.m.; and Sunday, 11 a.m.–10 p.m. Dining has a 90-minute limit, and leftover food cannot be taken home.

The restaurant’s online kiosk separates Korean BBQ and hot-pot menus into lunch and dinner versions and describes a self-serve vegetable, Korean-side and sauce bar.

Paid adult AYCE guests are also promised a printed 15% discount card for a future visit, capped at $20. The opening celebration advertises double loyalty points, giving a return trip its own small financial encouragement.

The address has a previous Korean BBQ connection: restaurant and ordering listings placed Korean BBQ GangNam there. HANPOT has not announced a shared operator or presented itself as a GangNam rebrand.
