I had the BEST Lunar New Year celebration at Hot Spot! From the moment I walked in, the vibe was warm, lively, and so inviting. The service was fantastic. Evelyn and Brenna were super attentive, checking in just the right amount and making helpful suggestions when we asked about specials. They made everything feel seamless, so we could just focus on enjoying the food and drinks. Speaking of food… HOT POT HEAVEN. I loved the all-you-can-eat selection here which included unlimited meats, seafood, fresh veggies, noodles, and more. My go-to broth will always be the tom yum! It is bold, flavorful, and pairs perfectly with literally everything here. For about $14.99-$19.99, you can upgrade your hot by adding premium A5 wagyu, snow crab, or a whole lobster. It’s so worth it! For Lunar New Year,

Food is mediocre: meat is fine, the vegetables & squid doesn’t taste fresh and are slightly sour, especially the bamboo shoot, definitely not fresh. The fish balls are the fake kind, I do not recommend. Also the broth is so blend, mushroom broth having one SINGULAR mushroom. The table design is weird, the pot is too close to body. The waiter is very nice though. They charge dinner price for all day on weekends. This is being written quite small on the menu, so be aware. I don’t regret stopping by but would not return.

This is a great AYCE hot spot. I read some reviews about the broth being bland when they ordered the mushroom broth. I ordered the spicy mala broth and that was almost perfect. I have been here numerous times and the consistency in the broth is great too. I have tried numerous hot pot places and this is hands down my favorite place. The quality of meat is great. The selection of seafood offers shrimp, octopus, crayfish, flounder, claims, etc. The veggie selection is good and fresh. The sauce bar offers fresh garlic, green onions, green peppers, and cilantro.. The service is attentive. The manager/owner checks to see if you are doing good which I find refreshing. If you are looking for the entire package in an AYCE hot pot place then I recommend going here. I would ra

Friend and I had not been at a hot pot before. We didn't care for the food too much. The scallops tasted too fishy to me. The broth were bland. I saw the great reviews when checking out this establishment but I don't see the hype. The bathroom set up is quite strange to me. And why are the bathrooms so dirty? I have seen 7/11s bathrooms cleaner than these. Service was okay. Waitress was nice. Wish she had given more directions or thoughts on how to make the food better. She didn't check on us as often as I thought she would have after we recieved the food. I do have to say that the house sauce was the only thing that helped the flavor of the soup and meat. We asked for smaller than normal portions as my friend and I do not eat that much and wanted the opportunity to try more things. I

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Mary-Ann L. · Nov 2024

Neat place where you have your own self service burners to boil your broth and cook at the table. The mushroom broth was good. Vegetables were fresh. There wasn’t a lot of sauces to pick from. The proteins that they give are in small portions esiecually shrimp and scallops. Ambiance is okay, there was a stall where it was cordoned off with yellow tape like a crime scene, just looked messy for a dining place.
