Prepare for the SPICE! My husband and I love hot pot and each place we love has a speciality that we come back for. Bashu Hot Pot had the best broth -- we always get the Sichuan Spicy and the Beef Tallow, and have never been disappointed. Their broth is the most consistent in flavor and quality; if you request extra spicy, be warned that it gets intense here. The pots have a little sectioned off area that holds the peppercorns and other aromatics, and the longer the broth sits, the more those spices diffuse into the broth. My husband nearly died when he ordered the Extra Spicy and learned his lesson by the end of our visit. But, the broth is so good, we always come back for more. The selection of meats, seafood, and vegetables is fresh and varied! We've brought some picky eaters and everyone is always able to find stuff that they like. The sauce bar is also great. They have two dessert soups that were a wonderful and cooling end to our hot meal. I had two bowls of each! Service is always good here. There's only a few servers, but they somehow always stay on top of things. The restaurant always looks clean and I love the decor inside. It feels like we're eating at a stall in a traditional village or something like that -- I don't know how to explain it. My only tiff here is that their drink menu is all bottled or canned, unless you're doing hot tea and water. It's not a big thing, but is good to note. Overall, I highly recommend Bashu and I've never had a bad experience here. 5 Stars. read more

I was craving hotpot so bad since it's cold outside and this hit the spot !! We planned on going to juicy pot which was sadly closed. So this was the next best and it didn't disappoint. It was also basically full which is a great sign on a Monday night We got curry and beef, and I got the sichuan broth in medium spice level. It was a little too spicy for me lol but cured my craving for mala spicy and I toned it down with the sauce I made from the sauce bar! The sauce bar is stocked with all the essentials like herbs and sesame oil and chili oil. Tbh I wouldnt recommend the house sauce as it contains peanut butter which didn't go well with the food, but it doesn't matter since there's so many other options ! As for the food itself, there's a wide range of veggies and seafood. The meat options are thin beef pork and lamb, and the beef was perfect! Very thin and melts in your mouth. There's clams, krabstick, eggs, shrimp, fish (don't recommend since it has a strong fishy taste), shrimp balls. And also the essentials like fried tofu, mushrooms, and cabbage !! Our server was also kind and timely and patient since some friends hadn't been to hotpot before. For $29 the service and quality is definitely worth it :) read more

Came here for an early dinner. The location is decorated in traditional Chinese style architecture. The tables are a bit taller than normal and can be tiring for diners. It was also really close to my body which resulted in splatter during cooking. As for the food, it's ayce hot pot. The meats are ordered through the server and other items at at the bar. The buffet bar and sauce bar did not appear super fresh and some looked unappetizing. Service was excellent. read more

Ready for round 2! This restaurant was fantastic. Very authentic, and cultural setting. Everyone was really welcoming and in good spirits. You start off selecting which soup base you'd like, and then two meat selections, it's all you can eat and they'll continually come around to see if you are ready for more. There is a buffet style selection where you can grab all of the veggies, seafoods, and extra hot pot delicacy's to add to your meal & a sauce bar to get your meat nice and saucy. Be careful not to plate more than you can actually eat because there is a charge per pound of leftover uneaten food. If you're in the area you should definitely come visit this restaurant, you won't be disappointed! read more

4.5 Stars Pretty good place for AYCE hot pot. They had a large selection of Asian greens as well as offal. My party and I picked out the ingredients we wanted from the buffet bar and also ordered some items individually (namely: pig brains, duck blood, and duck intestines). We also ordered some dessert as well. There were only two dessert options: the Szechuan Jelly and a shaved iced dessert (I forgot the actual name on the menu). The shaved iced was really good. The ice was shaved so finely that it melted like cotton candy in the mouth. For the AYCE, it was $28 per person but all of the extra ingredients we ordered really bumped up the price and it came out to be around $55 per person including tip. Service: The service was pretty good. Our server was incredibly enthusiastic in recommending specific things on the menu we should try. She was also quite attentive and all of our food arrived quickly. To sum it all up, this place is quite affordable if you want to try an AYCE hot pot with a variety of ingredients to choose from. I would refrain from ordering additional ingredients if you want to keep it "budget friendly". read more

Bashu Hot Pot - Hot Pot Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Currently my new favorite hot pot place in town! Most of the hot pot places I know around here either serve their food through conveyor belt or by placing your order with a waiter or waitress. This is the only one I know in Orlando that does AYCE buffet-style. And if you're like me, that's just the way I like it! At every visit I have made so far, I've always been met by super friendly and attentive staff. Food is super fresh, and they have all of the basic ingredients that you'll need to enjoy a decent hot pot. If you like getting ingredients that require more hand activity, like shrimp, they also have disposable gloves on hand for you to use upon request. If I have to say what I like most about this place compared to other hot pot places, it would be the fact that I can control how much of any ingredient I want to take, and not have to wait or ask someone to get it for me. Overall, it's a nice, casual place to enjoy some tasty hot pot. read more

Love, love, love this place! We were looking for a new hot pot spot during the cooler weather and I found this place! Right off of Colonial and Governor is a corner multiplex area. There is a variety of Chinese businesses here and I was able to easily find Bashu hot pot. First the hostess will walk you to a table and hand you a menu. You select your soup flavor and decide on a single or double hot pot. Either way, their pricing is based on every individual. Adults cost $27.99 and my 6 year old was $9.99 for all you can eat. Then you walk over to the buffet and select the vegetables and seafood you like. Don't forget the side sauce table. I like to mix green onions with sesame oil and a little bit of the chili oil! Yum, yum! My soup was very spicy but I got what I asked for. Honestly, it's much more spicier than I thought so I drank loads and loads of ice water to help me out. Also, the waitress brought us some Shabu Shabu style cut beef and lamb. Shabu Shabu is a very very thin slices of meat and when you add to your soup, it cooks very quickly. Just remember to adjust your pot settings located on the sides of the table. P4 is perfect to cook and then I always lower to P1 when I'm ready to eat. You may want to ask your waitress for an extra bowl to eat out of. My soup temperature became too hot (even at the lowest temp) and just placing in a different bowl helped me to lower the temperature even more. I love how the bench tables are really big and a little private. Each table holds 6 - 8 people. We will definitely take our friends here next time. Cheers to another amazing spot! read more

The people are super sweet, attentive, kept the place very clean. The food was amazing! You choose your broth and they keep bringing you the protein you want! I love that the have all the food refrigerated and stocked ready for you! There's a great variety of sea food, veggies, noodles, and a sauce station! It will not disappoint!! Highly recommend this place! read more

Prob one of the best hot pot places in Orlando!! I was super excited to try this place as my friends been talking about it. It's prob the newest hot pot places in Orlando, and I have to say, the owner really put some effort into making this a fully authentic experience! As you walk in, the decor and ambience is almost the same as some Szechuan hot pot places in China. Booths are in cute little huts, and even chairs looks like those old bamboo chairs. When it comes to food, meat and all other food selections were super fresh, soup bases were flavorful and heavy, they also had a pretty good variety of sauces. But what really pleasantly surprised me was the beef oil soup base, dry spice dipping powder for your cooked food, and the meat in freshly sliced rolls. All these are super authentic, and very very rare in Orlando!! I wish it had more food varieties. They are missing some key hot pot staples like tofu noodles, wide/flat sweet potato noodles, etc. Overall, I would have rated the entire experience a 4.5 stars, if there was the option. Not bad still!! And I would totally come back. read more

I felt like I was actually in China. We were one of the first to arrive and then I was the only white girl in the room! I loved it lol. You sit down and you get a server throughout the meal as far as the basics and drinks goes. You pick a hot pot base - I would not recommend the Sichuan one. This particular plant is called the toothache plant because it numbs your mouth quickly. Imagine an entire pot of that but, then super spicy! Makes it hard to taste the food. I'd recommend the mushroom and curry. Lots of ingredients and your basic hot pot toss ins. Nice atmosphere. read more

Good hot pot spot. Four star for the variety of meat. They only have lamb shoulder, angus beef belly and pork belly to choose from. They have many meat balls to offer though. The soup base is kind of new for me. I have tomato soup base which is good, sour and a little sweet from tomato and a lot of tomato pieces. Sichuan style soup is good as well for those who like sichuan pepper, a little kick in you tongue. Inside the restaurant is clean and the servers are attentive. The prices are resonable, $27.99 for adult for 2 hours limit. I'll be back if I'm craving for hot pot. read more

This is it! Best so far. 4.5/5 stars for Bashu Hot Pot. Food: Everything I was looking for (quail eggs, stuffed fish balls, fish tofu, fish cakes, etc). Wish there was fish ball with roe, but alas- haven't found that hot pot place yet. Not that many vegetables/rice cakes to choose from, but had a good selection of seafood, mushrooms, noodles, etc. The spicy soup and mushroom soup bases were pretty good, and you can ask to adjust the spice level. Sauce station had all the essentials. I'm docking 0.5 star because the self-serve food was just left out in the open (buffet style) with no covers or anything, which I am not used to... Set-up: Individual pots or one large pot that you can split into two soups. You can control your stove heat. The pots are not set into the table. Everything (except the meat/soup/drinks) is self-served. The waitresses were super attentive and friendly! Ambiance is solid; I particularly enjoyed the interior design choices and the Chinese TV channels on a nice medium volume. Pretty clean, as well. They sanitize pretty heavily after guests leave! Also, we came in around ~1:30 on a Saturday, and it wasn't too busy. BTW, masks required (as they should)! :0) I would 100% come back. They're also right next to a BBQ place, as well as a bubble tea shop. read more

My boyfriend found this place and wanted to try it out. We came in for dinner. All you can eat hot pot. We ordered our broths. I had tomato and my boyfriend had mushroom. We had to order our meats from the waiter and grab everything else from the buffet bar. We had lamb and pork belly. There is a variety of options. Seafood to veggies. The sauce bar had a few options. I thought it was alright as I have gone to other places with more variety. The quality of everything was decent. Broth was good. Service was not bad. The only thing I did not like was that there wasn't any soup bowls available or soup spoons. When I eat hot pot I like to drink my soup too. We only had plates, plastic eatery and plastic containers. Maybe due to staffing and supply shortage? My experience would have been better if I was able to comfortably drink soup and eat hot pot. I wouldn't necessarily come back anytime soon. read more

Visiting in Orlando, first time there, had a great time. Service is very good, beef meatball is amazing, MUST try.

My favorite Hotpot place in 2021 ! They are brand new, have a fresh ingredients, clean environment, and a buffet style to pick up what you want; noodle, veggies, seafood, fruit, sauce, etc. Except meat everything that you can pick up, you should told server a meat what you want. They have a lamb, beef, and pork. All of the servers are very professional, everytime they come to us to check what we need. Also, I see they keep cleaning buffet bar and sauce bar for a safety. The one of the reason I want a visit here again is they have a different option of noodles. I tried vegetable noodle, udon, thin noodle. Their udon is really soft like a mochi, I defenitely suggest you guys try that with a spicy broth. A vegetable noodle with mushroom broth might be the good choice for a vegan. read more

This is such an underrated spot. It is AYCE with unlimited access to the salad and a sauce bar. Meat options are limited since they only have beef, pork, and lamb but the meat looks incredible fresh. Plus, there is always extra toppings like tofu, fish cakes and seafoods at the bar. The broths were super spicy and delicious, probably the most authentic broth I've had in town. Services was also very good, servers checked on us frequently and took dirty plates off of our tables. The dining room design is also super cute with booths that look like little pavilions. Overall an amazing spot that is wayy too underrated! read more

My fav hotpot restaurant in Orlando, clean, good selection of food, good soup base, and very very friendly waiters and waitresses!!

Very new location. 1000% legit spot. Very small meat selection but huge buffet options from seafood to noodles and veggies. This place will not disappoint you for being new. Suck it up and give them a chance. Very nice people. Very attentive and they say you're welcome. Just eat here and enjoy the food. It's a buffet. Buffets can't go wrong unless it's Golden Corral. Yuck!!! If you don't know hot pot, google it. It's a good experience.

My family came here for a celebration and we were very disappointed with the food and service. There were very limited choices of meat and vegetables. The broth was overwhelmingly spicy. When we asked for more plain broth to dilute the spiciness, the staff got annoyed and gave us an attitude. Overall, the food was sub par. There are much better hot pot places in Orlando for the same price. The only good thing I can say about this place is the decorative interior. We do not recommend this place. Much improvement is needed. read more

This is a very authentic hot pot restaurant. I am come from Sichuan. I grew up with eating Sichuan hot pot. The hot pot here is like what I had tasted in my hometown. Sichuan food is very spicy. The staffs are very friendly include the owner. Make sure you tell the owner what level of spicy that you can handle. If you do not like spicy food, there are bone soup that you can order, which is not spicy at all. The food is very fresh. It's a buffet, you have 2 hours to eat. I love it. read more

I'm disappointed to say that this restaurant did a 180 degrees from my first visit. I loved it the first visit from the amazing service to delicious food. This visit, the service was horrible and I kept getting the wrong things. I asked for the spicy beef broth, but I was given the Schiuan spicy. I asked the server multiple times if she's sure it's just the spicy beef and she guaranteed it even though I know my broths and I've seen both types at that very restaurant at my table the other time to know. So I spent the entire time scooping out the peppers, peppercorns and oil because she wouldn't bring me new broth. With the meats we only asked for beef and pork and was brought lamb, which really upset my stomach more. I understand that it's a different era these days, but service should not be like this because it seems careless. I don't think I'll be back here again and I don't think I'll be referring people here anymore. read more

I don't ever write reviews, but I was soo disappointed with my experience. It was our first time going and we've been to most of the Hotpot places around in FL. Once seated it took her 25 mins to take our broth and drink order (had to call for her so imagine if we didn't). The options were nice but not fresh at all and sauces were never refilled. The night we went was busy, but for us to constantly ask for a drink refill 2-3 times was excessive (never got our refill). Our waiter attended to everyone but us basically. Interior was nice. Wished it was a 10/10 experience. read more
