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 10Food Options - 10 out of 10Food Quality - 9 out of 10Service - 8 out of 10Cost - $$$$(4) out of $$$$$(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!

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!

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!

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.

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 hour 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.

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.

My parents took us to Boil Spot, an interesting and creative spin on using soup as a way to "cook" your proteins and veggies .. you get your seafood, meat, and other proteins including tofu along with several different options of sauces at the bar and take the plate back to your table where each diner has a boiling pot of soup (we selected the mushroom soup) ready for you .. there is a conveyer belt snaking around all of the tables with your different vegetables and noodles to add to your proteins in the pot .. the server was very friendly and helpful as she explained the entire process before taking our drinks orders and the selection of our soups .. the bar was self-serve so we can eat different "entrees" throughout the meal .. cost was about $30 per person as we decided not to do the BBQ option .. overall, a very fun and different but positive dining experience so make a point to stop by if you are in the Tampa area .. you can thank me later ?

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!

Good kbbq, Galbi and bulgolgi were excellent
