Reviews of Boil Spot | Hot Pot and BBQ
Tasha Matkovich
Absolutely love this restaurant!! It's definitely on the small side, creating sometimes long wait times however they are worth it. It's a 2 hour all you can eat, they have different type of meal packages but honestly I recommend just going with the hot pot and Korean barbecue. It is worth the higher price. They have seafood options, beef, pork, and lamb options, different types of eggs, and chicken. Which is all raw and you cook at your table. Then they have many different sauces and some seasonings to pick from for your broth or meats. There is also a conveyor belt that goes to each table with different kinds of noodles, vegetables, dumplings and other side dishes. Then they also have a few ice creams to pick from as a dessert. However, I do not recommend going with a party over 6 people, they do not exactly have the room, set up or tables to handle a party larger than 6. They still handle it best to their abilities but if you want a shorter wait time and to guarantee your group stays together, stick to 6 or less people. The atmosphere is busy, but not loud making it pretty family friendly and kinda cozy. The service has always been good and efficient. It's a very good place for a really nice meal.

Took the kiddos to a hot pot restaurant. I have been to South Korea many times and this place is pretty good. There are many protein options and the veggies are being run in a conveyor belt. It's actually different from what I have experienced in Seoul. Great place for a Korean BBQ and Hot Pot in Tampa Bay.
My Lam
I recommend coming here to enjoy some hot boil soup on cold and rainy days in Florida. They give you many soup options and a lot of meat selections if you want to try the korean BBQ. The price is pretty reasonable and there’s a lot of options of meats, fish/octopus/crabs balls, meats, and a lot of noodles/vegetables to choose from. However, some of the meats/seafood balls doesn’t look fresh and looks like it’s been sitting there for a while. The service here is really good because the waitress keep checking up on us. But, they have those conveyor belt which make it easier for us to choose our noodles/vegetables to put in our soups. They also have ice cream for dessert.
Peyton Hubble
This place was awesome I loves the variety they offered and we really really enjoyed it. Server was amazing. My son was throwing a fit so she would try to entertain him while she was coming by. Thank you so much, you helped this momma more than you know!
Jenny Barrett
AMAZING! You can get hot pot, bbq, or both. We chose both, and it’s ALL YOU CAN EAT 🤯! Staff was friendly, attentive, and helpful. Delicious, and I need one in my city YESTERDAY!!! …
Oliver Tiedje
Had a wonderful experience with me and my three friends! All staff was so nice and very understanding about my service dog and even cleared a space at the table for him to be away from the busy walk way! I really appreciated all of it! Food was so good!!

My son and I were pleasantly surprised during our visit for lunch today.
Cleanliness - 9 out of 10
Food Options - 10 out of 10

Cost - $$$$(4) out of $$$$$(5) @$79.99 TOTAL for two adults w/drinks and desert w/tip @$90+
It took a second for us to orient ourselves to the environment because there were so many options to include cold bar with meat, seafood, spices and sauces.
There was also soup served at table, with rotating vegetables and sides options on a conveyer belt.
The soup was amazing, served hot as a base, and options to add spices, sauces and seasoning at your own pace and flavor.
The grill and soup burners at the table were intuitive and easy to use, the burners had defaults that made it nearly impossible to burn your food.
Overall rating 5 out of 5 STARS. It’s pricey, but worth the dime. We had a GREAT Experience!
Matthew Patterson
Excellent spread for both the hot pot and the bbq. Great array of sauces and condiments. Excellent service. The ONLY reason it doesn't get 5 stars is that the tables are a little cramped and the conveyor system for the vegetables/noodles can be a little inconvenient to get to if you aren't sitting right by it. But the food, broth, sauces and service were all excellent. If you like Korean bbq or hot pot, you can't go wrong here.
Lisa Weirick
Food is ok. Did like the mushroom broth. Due to having the conveyor belt, it takes too long to get your ingredients. The have flavored chicken, but not for the soup.
Sara Mulik
Went here for my Birthday and it was absolutely amazing. The convaver belt with the sides was fun and convenient. The selection was more than enough. Overall enjoyable time. We did the hot pot and Korean BBQ. You have to try it! Highly recommed.
Tricia Marcolini
Really fresh food and good selection of sea food and meats. The reason I rated four stars was because the Korean BBQ was not available due to broken grills. The kimchi was also very good. Highly recommend for hotpot!
Jenni G.
You pick your base at the table,then choose your meats and sauces buffet style and throw them in the pot. There's a conveyor belt that goes around the restaurant and you can grab veggies, pastas and other items to add to your boil. There's also a griddle and you can cook your meats on that.
Over all it was a good experience. I was nervous bc of the food on the conveyor being out and going around the room, but I figured it's going into a pot to boil, so 🤷🏾♀️. Also, everyone was handling the same utensils to grab the items on the buffet made me nervous, but before handling my food I sanitized my hands and kept it moving. My hot pot came out amazing!!!! Even better the next day!
The place appeared clean and everyone was nice. The only thing that took a star away is the fact that I had to pay to take my leftovers home after spending $85. They charge you based on how much is left in the pot and I think that's crazy.
Grace Harts
Loved it here! Food was really good! I got the spicy soup, I think medium spicy. And meat and ramen. I went alone and it was fun!
Mock Berry
3 time in Tampa, FL. This is the best Korean bbq hotpot/their ice creams are the best. Food tastes delicious. Sorry, ate all the foods.
Justin CC
Tried Hot pot only.. Food is fresh. Decent varieties of selections. Server is quite attentive. Will definitely come back. Next time will try BBQ as well.
dell466l
A delicious and authentic Korean Hot pot experience. Delicious foods that you can cook yourself at your own table. There is a choice of Korean hot pot or BBQ. Call fresh n delicious. A Taste of Korea right here in Tampa.

My wife is from Beijing and misses having a hot pot experience so we visited Boil Spot in Tampa for her birthday. This all-you-can-eat experience is one of the best since moving here from Austin TX two years ago. Fresh ingredients for bbq and hot pot. The restaurant allows up to two hours of unlimited eating and as hard as we tried we lasted about an hour before tapping out. This is a must-try. One suggestion for management. Please move the ice cream bar to the section that is visible for people dining in the restaurant. We did not see all the wonderful choices of ice cream available until we were leaving…hence the four stars.
Anna “Ana”
Great Hotpot restaurant! The atmosphere is very pleasant and cute! The sauce bar is the best one I've seen in a long time! The meat options for KBBQ was a good amount, which is surprising because usually places focus more on Hotpot and not enough on BBQ. The conveyor belt was a nice touch, but it was a little confusing because there was no labels and some things took a long time to show up. Luckily the servers are fantastic and got everything I didn't see for me. Overall it's a great place to go!
Boston food and love
Loved this place! Tom, our waiter, went above and beyond for us! He brought us warm water to make our baby a bottle and even looked after our BBQ while my husband fed her! The lady clearing the tables was super helpful and walked us through the menu! The food, atmosphere, and service were all A+++! We will be back!
Rod Bending
Great food with nice selection.all you can eat for $28 per person for hot pot. If you want BBQ grilling style too, it will be $32 person.
J F
I went here for lunch alone, I have only done hotpot once before so I was a little lost but the staff are very polite and helpful! I chose the medium spicy soup base which was delicious and they have a lot of different ingredient options including meats, seafood, veggies, noodles, tofu, and eggs. If you are doing dine-in, you can also get a small serving of ice cream for free which was a nice touch! My meal came out to about $35 after tax and I got to eat plenty of food! Great place and I hope I can go again soon 😁
Dawn Dong
The best hotpot place I have ever been. Love their fatty beef, and they have many choices of vegetables than other hotpot place. Great service!
Jerry C.
Had a positive 1st experience, had the hot pot and BBQ grill options. I enjoyed my experience with the server and quality was very good. For first timers I recommend the pork bone soup for broth and trying the beef bulgogi for sure! Overall I recommend this experience for both dates and family gatherings. Will for sure come back again. Money well spent.
Shulamite Tsai
My experience was wonderful, everything was delicious, the food on the conveyor belts were the perfect portions. Everything was perfect!
Jay Young
It's Asian style, It was 3 of us eating from the hotpot & grill for $32.00 a person.
There's this conveyor table, with small plate bowls of every veggie u can think of going by you grab whichever u like.
You cook your own food at the table. It's safe u won't get burned on the grill nor the pot.
There's scallops,frog legs,head on shrimp,head off shrimp,beef other than steak, beef tripe, pork, fish, chicken too much to mention. It was crowded Sunday, & seats many ppl. lots of friendly waitress. Dress casual & enjoy yourself.
Brenda Lloyd
Everything was super good and the food was fresh! The instruction/info menu was super helpful too!
ɴᴀɴʏᴀ
We had such a great time here! The food and soup is very good. There was a grill and a hot pot! So many different sauces to pick from and you could pick your own meat by the sauce area! We were so happy to find this place!
April Kearney
First time here today and was great. Took the advice of another review and asked for rice. Everything was fresh, meat options were good. Vivian was our server and very helpful and explained cooking times and how to's. She kept our soup pots full and our grill fresh. We plan to come back
Eric Hernandez
I stopped by looking to try something new and was pleasantly surprised. There was a refrigerated buffet for various meats, and a conveyor belt kept a steam of vegetables, noodles, and mushrooms passing by. The waitress who assisted me was named Wen. She was attentive at keeping my pot full of broth so that it would not run out. My only suggestion for improvement would be to install a soda fountain so that guests do not need to purchase multiple cans to drink. But in my opinion that is barely a complaint. 10/10 will be going again!
INAN
The beginning of the year was better than how it is now. We recently dined here a few days ago and now there’s a sign that says “only 1 1/2 hours”. Although, we did finish in time, it just felt like we had to “rush” or we get kicked out if we didn’t eat in that hour and half. The ingredients on the belt weren’t as fresh as it was before. On the other hand, the service is still good and they upgraded the look of the menu. I believe the price has gone up a few dollars as well.
Jessica Colon
It was definitely an experience. Not sure that it was exactly worth it for the price that we paid. We ate very little and didn’t even know we could order rice. Told the staff that it was our first time and no real tips or tricks. The staff was kind of cold. Food was ok, my favorite thing was the bulgogi beef. Still disappointed about the rice… it would’ve paired well with my soup!! But essentially you’re paying $35 per person to cook your own food. If you’ve never tried it, give it a shot, you might love it. It fell flat for me!
Darren Johnson
Food is good. They are a little uptight on policies. I drove with my wife and went inside to get a table and they would not seat us until she was physically in the restaurant, even though I told the hostess we drove together. Kind of stupid if you ask me. The bill has checkbooks for 18, 20, 22% gratuity which seems presumptive as you have to pick up and cook your own food.
Chris E
If you feel like cooking your own dinner in a fun way with a lot of choices, this is a must do (budget depending). The hot pot ($25 per person) plus Korean table BBQ ($5 adder per person) is all you can eat, raw food buffet. There's a sauce bar and your choices here will determine if your meal is flavorful as the broths have very little flavor, except bland or spicy. Broth refills come around bot are plain and you'll have to continue to add sauces to keep flavor. The moving carousel of veggies and raw noodles are handle but not necessarily sanitary. Make sure to cook everything properly (instruction sheet is provided). We thought the quality of everything was great and the service was fantastic. Several tables had broken BBQ grills and customers were disappointed. Hopefully that's not common.
Patrick Chen
Service from John was awesome; he was extremely attentive. He also thinks children are people, too. Great selection of meats, seafood, and sides. Flavor of the spicy broth was fantastic. Ate until I was stuffed.
Snail
Hands down my current favorite restaurant. So much so I went for my birthday dinner. The selection of meats is diverse and you don't have to order some obnoxious platter of meats. Also, the conveyor belt is so neat!
Sergio Flores Vélez
Fantastic place! Did the hot pot/bbq combo. I've had the hot pot at another location but here the pot is dug into the table as opposed to being flat on top. The bbq was also great, good options and full of flavor. Hot pot has a bunch of selections of seafood and your typical meat options beef/pork/lamb, and of course you have your selection of sauces and spices.
Larry the Table Guy
One of the best all-you-can-eat seafood places around, huge shrimp and crawfish. Can be very intimidating your first time, so recommend going during the week. I wish more things were labeled (vegetables on conveyor belt and some of the side items). But will definitely be back!
Grace Wang
The food and service was awesome!! I loved the variety of food selection and sauces. The staff was very kind and I had a great time. Definitely would come back again!!
Barbie Centeno
I appreciate that this place offers both KBBQ and Hot Pot instead of one or the other. You can order Hot Pot on its own or the combo option. I'm not a big soup person but I used the soup broth to cook the potstickers that came on the conveyer belt before cooking the edges on the grill. They also offer some really good meat selections, and the ribs and bulgogi were my favorite. I like that they had parchment paper on the grill to keep it cleaner and came to change it out when it got to dark and sticky each time, you just have to ask for it. Our service was great and will be returning in the future.
Happy Tan
Boil spot is gonna be your go to when you don’t know what to eat! It has a variety of soup base, meat and vegetables options. I bet there’s gonna be one that you want! Overall it’s a very good experience and I will definitely come here again!
Michael Perez
I had a good experience here on my last visit. Was a little confused at first but trust me when I tell you get the all you can eat. Pick your soup base and then get your proteins at the buffet bar. All the veggies come on a conveyor belt to which you add to your soup. The BBQ is good as well but if it's your first time it can be difficult trying to manage your soup and BBQ at the same time. I have only four stars as I found the service to be a little lacking.
haiqing zhu
Very good taste. Our family love it. Will return!
Jia Liu
We have been going to this place since it opened. The variety and selection of food has since decreased. They no longer have blue crabs, enoki mushrooms, and small dessert cakes. I will say their sauces and seasoning is the closest to what I'm used to from China.
Paul Knipe
With tax and no tip, the BBQ is about $30 per person. Not cheap but the value is good. I was disappointed that they don't give a Military discount, but the quality of the food made up for it. I expect to go again. Get the BBQ. It is well worth it. It is an all you can eat buffet meet Korean BBQ. Even has a conveyor belt the takes your add one right past your table. It also has ice cream for dessert.
Tayter Bee
Liked the experience alot, just would have preferred more attentive service and maybe an explanation to how it all worked. I feel like we were running around in circles but next time i go i will have a better idea of how it all works. Nice idea overall!
MissQueenbee305
I went on a Sunday, so there was a 35 minute wait. The food was good. The service was ok. You only have 1 hour and 30 minutes to eat. They will rush you out at exactly that time.
TRAY C
Fantastic!!!! Five stars is not enough!!!! I love Boil Spot! They have a great selection of high quality meats for the hot pot and the BBQ. Don't pass on the Korean BBQ if you go, it's only a little bit more and we'll worth it. You must make sure you ask for the short ribs!!! The staff has to bring those out to you. They are worth the price alone. Definitely delicious! The items on the conveyor belt are very good and fresh!!!
Anh Le
Unlimited hot pot AND korean bbq. Each person has their own soup base, shared grills in middle of table. Conveyor belt with veggies constantly going around. Everything was restocked quickly. Used played were cleared from table fast. Service good. Meat quality was good. Tasty bulgogi and short rib. Lots of options. Fun place for friends and family.
Mary McKenzie
First off I love the conveyor belt of food. Is it gimmicky? Maybe. I don't care; I love it. Secondly I've been to at least three hot pot places in the Tampa area and this is my favorite. The food is really fresh, the buffet/sauce area is kept clean, and it seems as if all the BBQ grills and soup stoves are in working order. Great selection of hot pot ingredients and large selection of meats for BBQ. And the sauce selection is extensive!
Crystal Landon
Freaking love this place! So delicious everytime! The staff are so attentive! We never have to worry about refills or empty plates stacking up! Fabulous place!
Victoria Burlarley
Soooo good. You can't go wrong. Delicious if you just do Hot Pot or Hot Pot& BBQ. This place is always packed and after going once we've now been back I think 3 more times this month 😂
Jacky Zhang
Nice place, tomato soup and lamb is recommended. In general food is fresh and tasty. Perfect place for hot pot and BBQ lover.
Lucy Zeng
Really nice selection of food and sauces. the servers were also very kind, and I would come back regularly if I lived near here.
Taco caT
Good hot pot, decent selection, quality of food is fair.
Heather Meehan
This is the experience you want when you want to try different things or just have bits of anything you want. The staff is quite friendly and ready to help. They teach you about cooking the food and there's charts for extra help.
Berty Losing-inchez
It’s awesome, food is great and the staff is always really friendly. I like to hit legs and then protein up here after :)
Nicolette Kwak
Always delicious! Pork bone broth is my favorite. Tried a different hot pot the week and was so disappointed, felt bad for cheating on you guys!🤣 …
Ali Dahmash
Excellent place and food, loved it. I had Hot Pot, will come back for sure
helloabbby
My favorite all you can eat restaurant in Tampa. You can cook and grill your food on your table. The whole experience is so fun! My husband and I enjoy our meal each time we dine there. Staffs are really sweet and attentive. Highly recommended!
Corron Warren
Food was really good. Staff was friendly. Food was fresh and the overall atmosphere was pretty chill. The ice cream at the end really have it that 5 stars. I'll be back when I'm digesting all that meat!
Kornelia Von Schwerin
This is a great restaurant to go for a birthday party. They have a lot of food and it’s all fresh it’s a lot of fun to go with your friends and cook together. You can have hot pot or a table with a hot pot and grill. I prefer the hotspot personally. They do have a few ingredients that are definitely for those that are very adventurous like duck blood, Frog legs and tripe. They also have a lot of sauces that are awesome. The grill meat has a Korean seasoning. However do not expect to have Korean food accompaniments as the only thing they have is kimchee as a side item. I’m just making this, and because I’m used to eating an Korean barbecue restaurants overseas.

When we arrived I immediately went to the restroom. When I returned my companion had been seated and our sever was waiting to take my drink order. She stood there glaring at me while I tried to put on my glasses to look at the menu. I felt so rushed I blurted out a soft drink when I really wanted an alcoholic beverage. She proceeds to immediately ask what base for the hot pot. I felt like saying idk give me a freaking minute to look at the menu, but didn't. Instead I blurted out the only option I heard which was bone broth. I still don't know what is on the menu as she snatched it up immedately. If I had time to look and think I would have much preferred the tomato base, which my companion ordered after he had time to look at the menu. There are signs stating you are not allowed to stay more than 1.5 hours and also signs warning of an extra charge for wasted food. The hot pot items were on a rotisserie and there were no labels for each item. I didn't know what a lot of them were so I didn't try them for fear of being charged extra. It was expensive enough for what it was. All in all a cool place to dine once if you are on a time line. Not the place for a relaxed dinner and conversation. They want to get you out asap.
Robert Lisiecki
This place is great. I wish there were better options in my town that were like this. The selection was really good, the atmosphere was high energy and we'll organized. At fist the experience was overwhelming, but friends helped guide us through the experience.
The service was great, our server helped us with the grill and empty plates did not sit on the table for long!
The food was delicious, we went all out and did the grill and hot pot, and it was well worth the per person charge. For two we were out the door for about $70 but I will go back. Shut up and take my money!
Sarah Jacob
Great Vegan option. Absolutely
Loved their Mushroom soup (only vegan soup base they have). Many vegetables options and great tofu options too. The two hours limit is more than enough.
The sauces bar was great too. Had a blast and will definitely come back to it.
Carrisa Nix
I have wanted to try a traditional Hot Pot for years and finally found one! The experience was amzing! A lot of choices! Everything is fresh and great quality! The place is very clean, the staff are very helpful and kind! They have several flvors of Soju as well. I will def be back and bring others with me!
Lotus
the hot pot & milk teas are so good. i wish i had this restaurant where i live. the server i had was professional and attentive. the only thing that i say is a downside would be the 2 hour time limit you have.
Sarcastic Lynx
I go here like once a month! It is my FAVORITE place to eat at! Plenty of delicious veggies and meats for your hotpot while there's plenty of meat for the BBQ, you'll always leave with a full belly. The staff are all very kind as well. Always clean and well stocked this place is an absolute gem.
A Bowl of RT
All you can eat hot pot, if you like seafood and beef, this is your place. I think it's the best one in the Tampa Bay area.
John Lopez
Better ingredients, better pizza, when you're here you're family, I'm loving it you're way.
Raymond Michael Adcock
Awesome, unique dining experience. I highly recommend it.
Lulu DLS
From the ambience, Staff, hygiene and option in their buffet it was a top notch for me. And I have been to other one in St Pete, Dallas, TX and Los Angeles, CA and I would pyt this one near the top. Will definitely return.
Steve Amos
Our first hot pot experience but won't be our last. We enjoyed the variety of quality meats, sides and yummy sauces for the hot pot and grill. The only complaints would be the kimchi wasn't to our liking and the only sodas were from a can. We got there early for dinner and the service was good, but as they got busy, we had to hunt down staff to get refills of drinks and soup. Also included an 18% service charge on top of pretty high prices and then asked for a tip as well, so pay attention to your bill. We were a large party, so they may not do that for smaller parties.
Visit 3: Only got the Hot pot this time (Although the KBBQ was only a $4 upgrade) and really enjoyed everything. For me I had a better overall experience. The waitress was great, the sides and soup bases were fantastic (love the Pork and Mushroom bases). The kimchi was also much better this time. Some of the best I've had. Loved the combo of mushroom base and pork belly and lamb. It has gotten better, but probably not a 5 yet. But we will be back!
janet hood
Lots of selection...definitely fits the bill for hot pot Korean bbq...quite pricey, 20% gratuity added to bill, servicecharges if any food wasted and no take home!! 2 people was $80+
lee oliver
This spot is very well ran and the variety in concept is great. It is a Korean boil restaurant. Very similar to fondue with broth to cook your meats in. The atmosphere of the restaurant was great and the wait staff was fast and efficient.
Z Chan
You can’t go wrong with all you can eat especially when you can do hot pot and bbq. You get to pick your own meat by going to the counter and choosing your own cut. Many sauce options and the server is friendly.
Bianca baez
Loved it everything was great make sure to check your kids height before sitting they try to okie doke you at the end and charge you for adults if they are tall I have an 8 and 10 yr old same height 🙃 Also the prices are more on the menu then online unless I read it wrong adults 36$ for hot pot and bbq and kids are 16 if they qualify!
chonesty montgomery
So freaking good!!!! I've been her 4 times in the last 3 months and it has been awesome everytime. Fresh food massive selection
Kiersten Breck
Delicious food, large amount of soup options, fun vibes, awesome conveyor belt system. Definitely a repeat location to eat!
Heather Runyan
This is a lovely spot to have a nice dinner. It is pricey but makes for a great spot for special occasions. Lots of special options.
Tanya Rodriguez
I freaking love this place!!! Great date spot, time with the fam or girls night out!! The servers are very friendly too!!
Tanya Figueroa
This was a great experience. I had the hot pot and the all you can eat BBQ. I only wish the wait staff educated me a little more before getting the meal. There were so many options. I overheard another customer educating her companion which was really helpful. Also, next time I will only take a little meat at a time. It was very filling. Everything was delicious. The soup was a little spicy, so if you can't handle it, make sure you tell them!
Diane Gollon
Excellent food and service! The beef short ribs were the best
Mike Ware (吴威尔)
This is such a fun experience for a couple or a family. Much more than just a meal. It's not cheap, but it's worth it IMO. The staff are also very friendly and helpful.
Cara B
My daughter and I have always wanted to try hot pot so we made an impromptu stop after hitting up the record store down the road. This place is amazing! It was so clean and so quiet, even though the place quickly became filled. Our waitress was extremely helpful as this was our first time and very attentive. She explained the process to us and we hit the buffet to select our choices. Everything was so fresh! Great place to try new foods! The best lunch I've had in a very long time!
First Name Last Name
This place is amazing! The tomato soup base is yummy with the pork belly. They have a conveyor belt with veggies and different noodles. The meat and sauces are set up buffet style. All you can eat for cheap!
Priscilla Leigh
Fun. Would be a great place for first date. Lots to do and figure things out together. Definitely no awkward silence.
Chris Aloi
This place has an awesome selection of food to choose from. The broth to cook your food was perfect. Service and Servers top notch. We'll be back for sure.
Aimee Charbeneau
Absolute blast! This is one of the few restaurants that my mom can eat at with her severely restricted diet. Plenty of options for diabetics, ulcer sufferers, vegans, Paleo and more. It's great entertainment being able to cook your own meal to your taste. There's a convenient conveyor belt that dances around the restaurant bringing veggies and noodles to your table.
There's a great variety of meats at the buffet with options from healthy to decadent. The sauce bar allows you to mix your own custom blends. Their kimchi is outstanding. I definitely recommend this place for people with picky dieters as your entire meal is fully customizable. It's on the list of one of our favorite places.
Florie DAnnunzio
Great food and had lots of options! Love the service and overall vibes!
Sally w
Been to the place twice. I had the mushroom and vegetable broth, both were super good. I enjoyed the food and the experience. I would definitely go back. Super tasty.
Sly Stout
Loved it! Try the house sauce with any of the BBQ meats, you’ll fall in love too.
JOSH BURNEY
So are regular hot pot spot close down for a little bit and we went to the boil spot and it was okay a little confusing although it was a barbecue as well got minimal information didn't really that they cared if you were there or not the person at the podium at the front door seem to be on some kind of power trip as far as the food goes it was all right nothing too terrible or awful

I always go here with my friends and we have good food every time. Highly recommend making the hotpot tiktok sauce for your soup.

My mother and sister were in town and they love hot pot so we decided to take them here and there were definitely no regrets! They have tables with 6 settings for hot pot and 2 KBBQ grills and there was 5 of us so I really liked that we did not have to sit at separate tables. The conveyor belt wasn't working on our side so we had to order through the waiter but that wasn't really an issue because the service was really good. We opted for the full experience of hot pot and KBBQ which was $28.99. Their meat selection was open so we were able to grab as we pleased and that was nice because the other places we went to did not have it open and they took a long time getting our food to us to cook. Their hot pot burners were deep into the table and I really liked that feature so you're not constantly reaching over into your pot since it's lower. That was a great feature. Overall, this place was very good and I would definitely say that it's a great hot pot alternative to our place that recently closed down. For 5 people, our bill with 20% came to $191 which was a little bit on the more expensive side but we will be opting out of the KBBQ next time and hope that'll help shave down the bill.

Another great dining experience with our families

I had the ALYCE bone broth hot pot. The meats were fresh and tasty and there was a wide assortment of add ins, veggies, and SAUCES. It was soooo yummy and our waitress was delightful. I highly recommend hot pot - I didn’t try the BBQ but there weren’t too many extra meats for that tbh.
Marco Randall
The food and experience is good you just need to know the types of meat your requesting and the cook times.
Kim Lee hi
Very good i love it my big family of 6 come here every Saturday and enjoy food minus one because some areas of place very dark no good i no see nothing i almost trip when to get beef please put better lighting so i can see when walk eyesight bad❤️
J Zhao
Absolutely delicious! Food is very fresh (hard to find in Tampa) and the broth base is savory. Price is competitive with other hot pot buffets. Selection is pretty diverse too.
alisha ladha
This place never disappoints. Love the food and vibe. The staff is very kind. Been here so many times. They offer chicken and beef based soup which is refreshing since either places offer only a pork base soup and I cannot eat pork.
Kathy Merkler
Good place to try Korean hotpot cuisine. There is a good variety of food. Everyone can customize their meal. They have one of those conveyor belts that moves small plates of add-ins (noodles and veg) past everyone's table.
John S
Great food and selection of food. The staff was awesome and friendly. A definite go to place.
Ed B
First time there and what an experience! Once you understand how everything works, you are in for a treat. I did the full experience and had lots of fun making different dishes with different ingredients. Tried a variety of meat and seafood on the grill. The house sauce was my favorite. I'll be back again.
Michael Marsonek
Wow! Very different from your normal night out. It took us a few minutes to catch on but it turned out to be a very nice change. You basically cook your own meal in the supplied pots & grill. Very fresh & tasty meats and veggies. We're looking forward to our next visit.
Jamie Collins
Had a fun and sporadic dining experience. Combination hotpot and Korean style BBQ. Options were tasty and the ability to have grilling options was nice. The food go round is cute.
Santos Lopez
Vivian is the best for your server. The food options are amazing, there is something for everyone
Darrin308
Food was good. The soup was absolutely amazing and its an experience thats hard to come by in America. With that being said it is a very unique experience and the severs kinda just watch you mess up or they'll randomly do things for you which isn't a bad thing but it's totally different from what you're probably used to. I loved it but im not a very good cook so cooking your own meat is a bit awkward. Was a bit pricey but it was all you can eat so it was worth it. I plan on going back again soon because it was good... just very awkward
Alexis Zeigler
My first time ever eating hot pot and it was a great experience! All the meats are high quality, the Veggies are delivered on a conveyor belt, along with the pork dumplings which were to die for! I would definitely recommend trying the house sauce. Will be returning!!
Chelsea Lantzy
First time here and pretty good experience. The service was great. I think Vivian was our server. She was very informative and attentive. Restaurant was very clean and not crowded.The experience using the hot pot and grill with the combination of the conveyor belt was really cool. They had a good selection of meat, seafood and vegetables. The broth could have had a bit more flavor but maybe that is what all the sauces are for. Overall good experience and would recommend.
Queen Kre Bling
Different experience. But loved that my food was actually hot when I ate it.
Kristina Montalvo
Went with my hubby to this place & it was awesome. Have not had such a fun dining experience like this in a while! Definitely recommend. The food was just delish... Fresh, hot and comforting 🍲 …
Kali Rodriguez
I had the hot pot and korean bbq and everything was super delicious!
IAMCha0tik
The pictures don't do this place justice. This place is absolutely amazing. Stop reading this review and go try it out!
THOMPSiGN On Everything
I have absolutely no idea what to do in this kind of restaurant but Mia helped me thru and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. I'm a very picky eater so it was tough for me but i did find stuff i like and I will be back now that i understand what to do😅 …
J Bran
had the headless shrimp with there cajun sauce corn and shrimp were on point had great and friendly customer service as well !
Elise Mason
It’s like the ultimate seafood boil!!! I covered EVERYTHING in that sesame sauce 😋😋😋 …
Nikko's Experience
This place blew my mind for the amount of food they have to serve in a little place. I was not bothered by the price they're properly priced if you go hungry you will leave very full if you have not tried it it's a definite must try.
Chandler Thompson
My girlfriend and I recently discovered this place and absolutely love it. We have it made it a theme to go every single week for some hot pot. It was a bit intimidating at first but if you do a little research you will be fine. Food is great quality and the staff is very friendly. Ice cream was a nice touch as well.
Eric Ngan
I think this place has awesome food and awesome service. Definitely recommended.
Perry S.
I love the boil spot. They are clean and have a great selection of authentic items and are authentic. This concept of hotpot and grilling and cooking your own meats and vegetables is unique to the culture, so if you come to dine please be open minded. This dining experience is not the typical American style of dining. The servers are attentive each time I have been there and they are good at reminding patrons to keep their masks on while walking around the store.
Pandemic Kitchen
Arrived right before the dinner rush so all the food was very fresh. The tomato soup base was delicious and the variety of hotpot ingredients was good. I wish there had been more options for greens/vegetables but besides that it was a fantastic meal and a fun experience! BBQ was pretty good as well
Amy Suksuyuti
I've been here a lot and the thing I like about this place compared to other places is that it has an area that goes down for the soup. It's not just a table with a stove to heat the soup. It's a lot more child-friendly. Also, the tomato soup is delicious! the spicy and original soup is tasteless.. and the pork bone and herbal soup is just a little bit better than the 2. Happy eating!
jimmie williams
Great counter culture event, large variety of ingredients, all fresh. My only objection is they charge you 18% for service fee and also want to charge 15 to 20% tip. I took my lil bro and just for the combination of the hot pot and BBQ for 2 people CAME TO OVER $80.00 without tip.
Peh Weileng
This is my second time here! Tried their bbq and it was good!
Scott K
Hot pot and ayce korean bbq
Hotpot was delicious, every soup broth was flavorful, dumplings made them so good!
Bulgogi was ok, spicy pork wasn't very good.
Pork belly lettuce wrap was decent, they didn't have ssamjjang but had a Chinese sauce, I didn't really enjoy it. No sliced garlic, only minced that was sitting there with old flavors.
Galbi, beef short ribs, were seasoned with Chinese sauce, not really authentic Korean sauce. It was better than izziban in orlando though.
I would go back but bring your own ssamjjang if you want authentic lettuce wraps. Ask for sliced raw garlic maybe.
Anthony S
Very impressed with this restaurant. Very quick service and super employees. Food was very fresh and flavors are spectacular. I’ve eaten these type of restaurants numerous times but this one is the best so far. The full sauce bar really sets it apart.
Serina Van-Danh
Definitely one of the best places in Florida for hot pot and BBQ. A little on the pricey side but this place does carry good options. The beef could be thinner. I reckon because of this, the beef slices weren't the kind of melt-in-the-mouth beef cuts as many other places. But overall, good.
Ana Alvarez
First time here with my family. This place was recommended and we were not disappointed. The food was great, the service was great.
Alice Reybitz
Do not let the price scare you! Pricey and worth it!! Be sure to pay the extra and get the grill! The short rib cut that comes with the grill is DELISH!
The BULGOGI Beef and Chicken were a new experience grilling my own. OMGEEZERS!!
The service was helpful and made great suggestions!
We had to hurry through our meal, not next time. The experience is as good as the food. The food is fresh...tasty...and worth the price and the trip.
Jenifer Torres
It was my first time there tonight. I am so happy I decided to come here for my birthday. It is all you can eat for only $30 per person. Our waitress was so patient and helpful. I went with five other people and we were totally clueless. I loved the conveyor belt with different items to add to the grill or soup pot. We didn't have to bother our waitress with getting us some more of certain items. You just wait until it comes around and pick it up. The conveyor belt is situated near all the tables for easy access as far as I can tell. There are areas where you can have just the soup and not the grill. It was also nice to be able to go to the food bar to get all your meat. There was a variety and you could get as much or as little as you wanted to eat. The atmosphere is pleasant and inviting. It is definitely a great place for a group of friends or family to have fun and eat delicious food. I will definitely come again in the future and tell everyone I know to come try this place out.
Rose Gibbs
It's more of a buffet, some of which comes to you via slow moving conveyor, than a typical restaurant with servers.
TheMoySauce
This place was amazing. They have a conveyor belt with veggies, noodles, and more. The ice cream they have was also amazing.
norelle chng
Good variety of choice and mice food. Service staff also very efficient
Larry Smith
This is the best place for hot pot. I love this place. I'm going back for sure.
Samantha Fields
Has a great variety of meats, veggies and sauces. It’s buffet style so you don’t need to wait on a waiter or waitress for most of the food. There’s a cool conveyer belt that runs around the restaurant that you can pick off of. Good variety of options. I like that the experience isn’t rushed but you have 2 hours to enjoy there. Good service, clean and reasonably priced.
The Whitely Family
Food was ok. It was my 1st time at a Korean BBQ place. Staff was friendly and attentive. My biggest complaint is that there was a fly constantly flying around my table... I HATE bugs/insects of any kind around me.... Especially when I eat. There were also 2 little "crawling bugs" on one of my plates that was set to the side. I showed the waitress and she gave me a free drink... which I honestly did not want.... I was fine with my water. I think there should have been a better compensation considering the situation. For the record.... My friend who took me there said she's never seen bugs there before.
Paulinee Miller
We have been twice now. Very polite very attentive excellent service. Excellent variety of food to choose from. My husband was finally successful in using chopsticks. Overall the best experience we have had at a restaurant yet. We will definitely be going back
Jason Boulle
Had a nice visit with my daughter
Natalie Goss
Friendly staff great prices high quality food!
Kat Tube
Went here with my fiancé for the first time & it was amazing! Everything I expected and more. Food was delicious and the whole concept is super cool! If your into hot pot and bbq or even just bbq, you should definitely check this place out. If your in Tampa, just stop by and have yourself a delicious lunch. Our server was also really sweet and explained everything to us when we first walked in. Customer service was one of the best. I’m sorry if you had a bad time here, I’m not sure how that could be possible. Thanks so all of The Hot pot and BBQ staff, you are amazing !! We will definitely be back.
BE YOUR CHARM
Food was great but the waitress wasn't very nice.
Louis Caltagirone Jr
Very impressed by the service we received from our server and other staff tonight. Variety of food was plentiful and tasty. The spicy broth was good (a bit too spicy) and the pork bone broth was a hit. Unfortunately did not leave room for dessert. Will definitely be back!!!!
Ahmed Al-Ramahi
Food was great, all the ingredients interesting and allowed for a enjoyable conversation about. The prices were very reasonable compared to everything else. Staff were very attentive and responsive.
Over all Boil Spot is a great place for any occasion. Thank you guys very much 🙏
Olivér Ohm
They do so much better job than used to , i went there 2019 and not really impress but Last month they do very good job , clean and tasty food , fresh for buffet , so many option of sauce , sweet server , absolutely come back .ps. You might have to know some about korean bbq
Ryuko 3785
Good kbbq, Galbi and bulgolgi were excellent
Carl-Edwin Rigaud
Absolutely fantastic korean BBQ! The hot pot really elevated this dining experience and made it both exquisite and unique!! A variety of meats, sauces and side dishes give vast options of flavor during your meal! Truly worth the price!
Eevee Reborn
This place is a treasure!
Everything is so fresh and the selections are almost overwhelming, but in a good way. From seafood to meats and veggies, noodles and even dumplings, different kinds of tofu, they have everything!
The sauce bar has everything you need to make your perfect dipping sauce, don't forget to try the house special sauce, it's sweet and vinegary with a sesame undertone, perfect for meats and udon.
GET THE BBQ ADD ON! It's so much worth the $3 extra dollars, and is really a cool experience to grill your meat slowly while you enjoy hot pot.
The staff is so friendly and helpful, attentive and refilling your hotpot. My recommendation is the classic pork bone broth, after you add your veggies and meat the broth is a perfect base for cooking ramen as your final dish.
Slake Counts
It was simply wonderful as usual. Can't wait to go back and eat more that I didn't get to try this visit. The vegetable mushroom broth was wonderful for those who do not choose beef in their broth. The choice of seafood is top notch. So many vegetable choices as well.
maria salonga
Had a great experienced here! The food and staff was awesome!
Cindy Jean
My go to for seafood boil. 100% recommend awesome food awesome people.
Erik Noonkester
First time having hot pot and be Korean bbq but it was delicious. Everyone was really nice and helpful . Can't wait to go again.
Christine w
The food was delicious. It would have been 5 stars if they had signs to tell you a bit more about how to do it. Overall the food was really good.
N. “Ghost”
Great experience for my first hot spot...
Katherine Hart
service was great and staff friendly. Vegies and dessert cakes were on a conveyor belt that passed the tables which was kind of neat but I couldn't see into dishes and it looked like others couldn't either since I witnessed patrons taking food off the belt and then putting it back on...do I'm not certain how germ free the veggie were. The meats were under sneeze guards at the back serving area. Potatoes for the hot pot weren't available since they ran out but the dumplings were to die for. The traditional bone both was very good, I will most likely return to try another broth flavor even though it was $27 for Hot Pot and there are other cheaper Hot Pot options out there.
Taylor Lee
A great place to hang out with friends! The food is delicious and fresh. Its all you can eat, like a modern buffet with a bar that circles the sections and brings you all kinds of food! You can also get up to choose what kind of meats you want all the way from seafood to chicken and everything else in between. Finish it off with ice cream and you have yoursekf a delicious mean. I highly recommend.
Angel Oak Adventures
Great experience if you love Hot Pot! The conveyor belts are a unique twist, and everything tasted fantastic. My only complaint is entire thing felt "chain-y" and lacked that intimate experience we've had at other similar, smaller restaurants like it.
Jenie Krebs
My oh my....the food is most excellent. Definitely a nice twist on Asian cuisine. The most relaxing, enjoyable meal I have had in a very long time. Can't wait to go back.
John Stillwell
I've had hot pot before but not like this. There is a conveyor belt that runs by all the tables and has the veggies, mushrooms, potatoes and such. The meats are plentiful and fresh. I had frog legs, shrimp, octopus, mussels, clams, 3 kinds of mushrooms and veggies galore. The house sauce is delicious with a little heat. If that isnt enough they have cake and ice cream for desert.
Our server was amazing. She was knowledgeable and funny. They seemed to be following all the guidelines for covid as well.
This is my new favorite place and I'm sure I will be back many times.
Elizabeth Schumpert
I've been to this place a dozen times. Boil spot is the best hot pot place in tampa hands down. The staff is always nice and friendly and will make any accommodations you need. The Korean BBQ is always on par and it's the spot but the best part is the 3 diffent levels of spicy broth you can pick most places only have 1 spicy so if you like hot pot this is the place to go in tampa
Yuya Burkhart
Great dining experience. The restaurant is well laid out and I loved how the bbq and hotpot was at the same table. The hot pot rests inside the table so it’s easy to use. The meat and veggies were good quality and we had a great time.
David C
I love Boil Spot Hot Pot & BBQ.
So yummy 😋😋 …
kendra wilson
This place is great. I had the bone broth hot pot and the kbbq. The broth was flavorful. Decent selection of veggies and nice variety of meats and seafood. My faves are the beef short ribs (not on the food bar, had to ask for it) and the pork belly. Good sauce bar. Friendly staff.
Nick Courrege
Top 3 hot pot and bbq for us in the central Florida area.
Angel Milton
I love Korean BBQ and visiting from Texas this is our first time visiting. The food is fresh and...absolutely delicious!!! 💯 The atmosphere, the service was on point!!!👌The staff and other dinners all seemed to comply with COVID-19 guidelines which made our dinning more enjoyable. I will be back whenever I'm back here in Tampa to visit my sister and family...this is now our family #1 Korean BBQ and Hot Pot spot here!!!😋🥢👍🏼
marticus08
Food is great hot pot and bbq in one is so awesome. Jenny our server was really nice. I ate so much I almost past out lol. We will definitely be back.
William brown
Boil spot is a great introduction into what Korean BBQ And Hot pot is. The quality is decent (No A5 wagyu or usda prime). The concept is whats really cool. There's a conveyor belt that wraps around the whole restaurant that brings you several different hot pot items and you just pick and choose which items you like. I also enjoy the extensive sauce counter.
Chris Hudson
A good option for all you can eat korean bbq and hot pot. I think 9 spice is better though. Problem is it's so far away so this place is a good substitute when we are feeling lazy
ginger francisco
Worth every dollar.A lot of food choices.
Heidi Z
food is fresh with good quality. Be aware they will charge kid with any age, my kid was 3, they charged 10+ dollars.
Stephanie tran
Great place!! Finally something closer to home. Meat and seafood ate fresh. Hot pot is good to especially now that it's getting cold outside. Is Been open for about 2 weeks, so many drinks on the menu are not available. Wish they had more fruits/desserts. Would definitely visit again!!!
Diane Edwards
As always the boil spot was awesome! Everything is always fresh and delicious. Service was great, what more can you ask for? Love it! ❤️
Seve Kim
Good meal for the price. Buffet style has tons of options for hot pot
glaiza lanuza
I am doing this review to help them improve. The conveyor belt is unsanitary, especially during this time of pandemic. The broth was not very tasty. Also, the seats/tables are not socially distanced. Needs more options on noodles and vegetables. The tiramisu and ice cream were good, though.
Shanice
This place is absolutely amazing. Although fresh and new to the area of Tampa, do not be affriad to to Walk on in.
Atmosphere: 10
Food: 100 (it's that dang on fresh and good.
Experience: 10
Broth :10
Music:10 very modern and fun.
And all you can eat. However don't be wasteful there is a 13.29 surcharge for being wasteful. So come hungry 😋. But this place is my absolute favorite.

They gave me free boba and great service, nice staff and a great atmosphere.
Barbara Davis
The foods (experience) was very good. We enjoyed our meal very much.
Riaan Geeringh
Awesome Place love it get to cook your own food
Robert J Johnson
Took a little longer to get seated. There was a good selection of meats and vegs and customization.
Erika de la Cruz
Is it expensive? Yes! Is it a fun experience? Yes. Nice for a birthday celebration or a friend get together. They have one of those fun conveyor belts that bring you the different ingredients.
Mike Tarantola
Delicious food. Funny time with friends or family.
jigs roque
Best hot pot in town. Tom and mia are very helpful...
Brenda
Delicious broth and easy simple process cooking your food. Staff, although they are very busy are very respectful and friendly and always asking if you're doing ok. Would definitely come back!
A Wood
Easily my favorite place to eat. I go there more than I should admit. Very clean resteraunt, fresh produce and meats. The service is always spot on. I love love love this place.
Stephen Fancy
Terrific experience at this restaurant love Korean food and they do it right
Brandon Spencer
Great location. Very helpful and friendly staff. And the food tastes great. We stopped by for lunch and it wasn't busy. The waitress was super helpful and explained everything very well. It's a great place to go for an easy date night.
MrP (Novatone)
Absolutely awesome place and great idea. Mixing 2 of my favorites into 1; Chinese Hotpot and Korean BBQ. It was magical and I highly recommend going.
Vplan0019
As a hotpot and BBQ buffet, foods there are pretty fresh and some of the foods they provided are excellent. Price is fine consider all these fresh meat and sea foods you can eat. The only thing I worried is the design of tables, a little bit messy at both top and bottom. Please be careful when you. try to stand up if you choos hotpot, because the electric core are in the pipe underneath the table and your knees may knock on it and cause splash.
Mai Fabic
No such thing as "bad flavor" since you tweak everything to your taste. Buffet has seafood "balls" and thin sliced meat for additions. Didn't do the Korean BBQ, but it smelled so good from the others who were cooking it. Service was quick and the moving belt was constantly refilled
Bobby P
Not bad overall, but I still prefer other joints.
There interior is very modern, hip, and fun thanks to the nice hotpot boiler and conveyors belt. However I’d say there hotpot meat is not that good, alongside the broth being lack luster. Though I will ay the bbq was tasteful, especially the spicy pork belly.
So overall good and will come back sometimes though for a authentic tasty broth might look else where
andrea aguilar
Plenty of proteins and veggies to choose from. However, the base soup is super bland and the barbeque didn't really taste good because it doesnt leave a char on it. It tasted steam rather than grill.
Danny L
Hot pot and BBQ. All you can eat!
Nils Erickson
Had hot pot once before. This place is amazing, once you order you can get food on your own time , at your own pace. Definitely check it out if you want to try Hot pot food
Susan Martz
Amazing food wonderful staff..first time being there
Yu Senming
For the price the quality was ok.
The kbbq tasted worse than I thought it would, especially the stuff you cook yourself that you grab from the raw bar. I recommend going with the beef ribs that they grab for you if you're going with the bbq. For the hotpot there was a surprising amount of variety in both the proteins and vegies and the sauce bar is loaded with what you would expect them to have. Would recommend to those that are new to hotpot but for veterans of the cuisine I recommend you keep looking.
Camilo Londono
I went here and was pleasantly surprised to see that they had plenty of options for vegetarians. The atmosphere of the place is superb. I also found the prices to be very fair considering that you can eat all you want. I definitely recommend!!
Ashley Riker
Great experience, would definitely recommend grabbing everything your going to eat from the raw buffet bar before starting to cook. You will get cut off by them just turning off your hot pot station.
Celese Moss
Unique all you can eat Korean BBQ and Hot Pot! Fresh ingredients and sauces to customize your grill or hot pot to your unique tastes. Great price for the value
SC Bisconti
Great selection of hotpot options on the conveyor belt with add-ins such as multiple varieties of mushrooms, lotus root, cabbage, dumplings, udon and dried ramen noodles, and so much more in addition to the variety on the meat bar with multiple varieties of fish balls, shrimp, muscles, crab, frog legs, tripe, octopus, quail and chicken eggs, and multiple other options. The barbeque meat options were sparing considering the wide variety of hotpot options, but we were overall extremely satisfied. The pork bone broth was a bit bland when served, but there is also a bar with a wide variety (25+) sauces and garnishes like garlic, scallions, hot oil, sesame oil to name a few, that will personalize your broth to your liking. We had an awesome time and will most likely return. The hefty $30 per person fee is absolutely understandable and very much worth it, but makes this a novelty trip for special occasions. Also, you're going there for the hotpot and bbq, so the dessert isn't key focus. There are about 6 varieties of ice cream, and on the conveyor belt, there are fruits like oranges, honeydew, and cantelope as well as orange cake and tiramisu. Worth every penny.
Melanie Newell
I thought my 3yr old was going to refuse to eat, but I was totally wrong! And his reason wasn't because of how good the food was, but the fact he was able to cook it then eat it! Blew his lil mind
Aud D
Fantastic hot pot restaurant. We enjoyed our experience. The waitresses were wonderful and sweet. It was our first time there and we will be back while visiting Tampa.
顾瀛舟
Highly recommend! Best hotpot in Orlando!
Michael Dunlap
Great food, excellent selection. Be warned if you order sweet tea, they charge per glass, no free refills. That lesson cost me ten dollars. Still, I will be back, just drinking water, lesson learned.
Simone Coley
Excellent customer service. The food was fresh. The soup was delicious. The environment is clean. I will be going back often. Goodwill Hunting the Born Identity in Never Never Land.
John Tulloch
Great service, fresh food but having pay to cook your own meal definitely takes some getting used to. That said, an overall good experience is to be had.
Joey Bone richter
Soo good an amazing time freindy staff good food
Marcus Knyte
Good tasty good, fun laid back atmosphere. Very pleasant staff.
Richard Wright
We love this place. The food is such fun and delicious too. The service is excellent and the restaurant is very clean. This was our second time and we will go again soon.
William Stelling
Hands down the best hot pot restaurant I've been to in Tampa! The broths are amazing and the meats and veggies are actually fresh! Other hot pot restaurants that I've been to here just don't have the quality that Boil Spot does! Definitely will be back!
Xxriannaxed!tsxX UwU (Rat lover)
Everyone is very friendly. Me and my family come all the time.
Cassandra Benoit
Fun experience! A but overwhelming at 1st because there is sooooo much food. But once you get the hang of it... it's a lot of fun.
Bummer that a lot of food went to waste as they would not allow us to leave with what we couldn't finish
Stephanie Arizmendi
Wasn't for me.... was expecting more choices for a none seafood eater but it had a very good concept and people seemed to love it... not going to mark off just cause I didn't understand what I was getting myself into... seemed clean, servers were very friendly and helpful, hostess friendly.... i.would recommended for people u like this kind of stuff for sure
Witch Of Eriu
It was good quality, good food, highest price ever, friendly but not talkative, fun to experience, broth was Bomb.
Bryce Kandacram
Food was pretty good but service was lacking did not get a single refill.
Bri Annah
This place is so cool!
Obviously you do everything yourself and I like there’s a menu that tells you how long to cook your food for, and the conveyor belt is a dope idea 💡
Good food and good price for all you can eat 😋 …
Juicy Goose
At first I was skeptical about cooking my own food at a restaurant BUT omfg this experience was the greatest thing ive ever done!!! The food and the soups you can make yourself...... Ill be returning for sure I highly recommend going to this restaurant!!
Exquisite PC
Get food and staff is readily available!
DeVaughn Edwards
This was a very pleasant surprise of a restaurant! Slightly pricey and absolutely worth it. For first timers, like us, some instructions on how to work the buffet will be necessary. But, you will enjoy and you will return.
RAHUL RADHAKRISHNAN
Excellent HotPot restaurant! Good service! The soup bases are comparable to similar establishments from the Sichuan province of China (which is where HoptPot originates from). The selection and quality of meats, seafood,veg, sauces are topnotch. They also provide a chart of cook times so you don't over OR under cook your food. The restaurant also offers decent Korean BBQ. Overall, I would return for the HotPot.
Ian San Juan
I love the food but the service is a little less than good You expect when you spend that kind of money that kind of service and it's just not there
Deborah Harris
The service was fantastic and the food also was Great
Loraine tourville
Mr. Jayson is really an excellent person. He always know what is best for a costumer..Great seafoods, barbecues and ofcourse the Tira misu. Aside from having a great foods, the place is neat and sooo clean.. ..Definitely will come back....
hatshetput
Great experience! Food was fresh and service was great. I truly enjoyed the food
Aaron Jaeger
The food and service were fine, but they won't let different people at the same table choose different options (Hot Pot/BBQ). This makes it difficult when not everyone in your party wants the same thing.
Jamee Smith
Very good. Wide selection of meat, seafood and Asian vegetables. We went a couple of weeks ago and it seems like they're improving their options and overall process after being open a while.
Tai Thai
The food, the dipping sauces, the setting over all are perfect dining experience for you with family and friends, the price is fairly good too.
Jonathan Fudge
Food was good. Service was great.
Ed Lizarraga
Really enjoyed my experience. Quality of meat and choice is superb. The soup options were fantastic! Recommend highly.
Jeffrey Ferrara
Delicious, clean, friendly staff and great service. All you can eat about 30 dollars a head. Grill and Hot Pot best of both worlds.
Cole Green
All you can eat Hot pot and Korean barbecue for a decent price (~30 a person). Food is good, I especially enjoy the galbi
S. Chen
Great hotpot spot, I would recommend being a bit more agile at seating, they loose a lot of business with people that don't want or need to wait, when there are open seats and they turn away business starting at 9pm.
LaGretta Dixon
I'm not a big fan of Asian food. I felt it was over priced. If you're a fan of paying to cook your own food then this is a place for you.
