I normally come here Friday / Saturday . Good selection of seafood & veggies ! It's a HotPot / BBQ but most of the time I just do HotPot because there's tooooo much to eat and I just don't have room to do BBQ too. Friendly service - family friendly- clean & overall one of my favorite Tampa location. I choose them over the rest because of all the variety of sauce & broth flavor . read more

My favorite Korean hot pot and barbecue spot. It's sad that they closed down due to slow business traffic but I was definitely a regular. They have plans to turn into a soup dumpling restaurant. I'm sure if it's anything like Korean hot pot. It will be just as delicious. read more

Excellent service from start to finish. Plenty options for vegans! I really love the buffet style veggies instead of ordering with a server. Will be back again! read more

Our new favorite spot!!! We loved the taste and the fact that bone broth was used. The meat was good as well. The service was great, all attendants were friendly and helpful. Ambience is a little loud kind of cafe like, but there were many people there tonight. Kind of wish they had green chili sauce but that's okay, still delish. We will be back -- and probably will become regulars here. Thank you for a great experience =) read more

Probably my favorite hot pot spot in the area. I love that they have the enoki mushrooms and the quail eggs (not everywhere has them). The meat here is decent, although I wish they'd add more types of beef cuts, but I have not found a hot pot place around here that does, like premium cuts. Service is always good and everything usually fresh! Love the conveyer belt, and the sauces too. read more

4/5 Great place in the area to get some hot pot and bbq!!! I got the Tom yum broth and my partner got the classic broth. The soups were great!!! They had a sauce bar on the side if you want to dress it up a little more! For the self serve, they had fatty beef, lean beef, fatty pork and lamb? They had a variety of different fish and shell fish balls, kani, crawfish, fish, scallops, clams, muscles, crab, and kelp! Not to mention the different types of noodles and veggies, mushrooms on the conveyor belt. They also had bean curd, tofu puffs and tofu skin as well! For bbq, they gave us 2 pieces of short rib, 2 pieces of steak, and the self serve table had beef Bulgogi, spicy pork Bulgogi, chicken, pork belly. The place had a simple, modern vibe with Asian accents. And the table was large and spacious. I loved the conveyor belt idea and made it very easy to get some items, rather than waiting behind people. The service was great! My table is constantly being cleared and my water glass was always full! My only criticism is that they didn't have as many options of desserts, such as fruit or non dairy ice cream. I think it'd be awesome if they offered those giant self serve tubs of ice cream with unique flavors, such as matcha, red bean, taro etc etc read more

One of the worst food experiences I have had ever. As soon as we got there, we noticed half of the restaurant was shut down. The other half was packed so we did not think much of it. We sat at a table next to the conveyor belt and began grabbing add-ins while we waited for broth. The first topping we grabbed were noodles that were covered in mold. We then got up to grab protein from the counter and freezer. The freezer meats were not frozen and we watched as the staff added more semi-thawed meat without cleaning in between. The meats not in the freezer were sitting buffet-style on mostly melted ice; that should have been the point where we got up and left, yet we stayed. Then we took one bite of crawfish and immediately recognized seafood that had gone bad. I thought mom-seafood might be better so had the beef, but it crumbled in my mouth with a gritty texture that was nauseating. Besides the problems with food quality, there was a lack of variety in options. There were three types of noodles, two types of lettuce, and two vegetables that endlessly looped around the room. The servers were not around to bring drink refills and our pots of broth were never topped off with water. We paid $31 each before tip and went home feeling illl. The experience is timed to 1.5 hours but we could not make it past 40 minutes. I cannot wait to go home and brush my teeth to get rid of this taste. I will not be coming back, and I highly suggest you do not either. read more

I had so much fun during this dinning experience that I forgot to take photos! The food was great we loved the conveyor belt which kept food coming right by the table. The buffet bar was the best I think I ate my weight in crab legs. read more

Stopped here for hot pot and BBQ and was pleasantly surprised. Everything is fresh, and you can tell that they make a big effort to make sure that all of the meat stays nice and chilled when in the buffet section. The options available are fantastic (and I was pretty bemused by the vegetables/carbs being on a conveyor belt). The place is definitely clean, and the service is fast, kind, and fantastic. Can't recommend this place enough. read more

This place is such a bang for one's buck. All you can eat! HOT POT AND BBQ. I'll be honest we were in Tampa to visit family during the holiday so I was just down to eat and be a couch potato and most of the priority was to cook for family for most of the meals. However I'm glad we found boil spot. Never had hot pot with a conveyor belt, pretty cool. Buffet of proteins in the back along with a decent sauce bar. The addition of the Korean bbq is worth it if you're with a group of people- everyone can leave satisfied. Also super affordable and at first I was stressing about having our leftovers weighed- it wasn't much, less than 1 lb but we didn't experience that, however I would urge everyone to be mindful of how much food you bring back to your table. It's a buffet you can always get more. read more

Great hotpot spot. Great broth for the base. The most flavorful that I've ever had. Lots of items to choose from. Staff was ready to assist with clearing dishes and filling glasses. I recommend this place. read more

At first, the seating looked normal and the service was nice but when I ordered a mild spicy base Ii was expecting like a spicy flavorful broth since hotpot is more of a Asian style thing, when I tried the food after cooking it I couldn't taste any flavor the sauces didn't help much at all. The muscles tasted like sink water, the tofu tasted terrible, some of the items of the conveyer belt weren't even on the cooking time, who knows how long the oysters and other food have been sitting there? It would be nice if there was a timer on the table per person, because most of the food was overcooked sure that's on my behalf but I saw no clocks on the walls anyway. I was actually looking forward to trying hotpot but this ruined my perspective. They even have a 1hr 30min limit then they basically give you the check and tell you to leave. There's also a wasted food rule saying that you get charged 14 dollars per pound of wasted food which,I get it your trying to prevent people from taking all the expensive items and wasting it but I had to shove down the tofu with sweet tea to not gag. If you're looking for a good hot pot place don't go here. read more

I was in town again and definitely had to hit up a Hot Pot/Korean BBQ buffet. I came here on a Friday night and it was super super packed. The wait time was approximately 30-45 min. Like my other restaurant review in FL, you definitely need a Covid vaccine (both doses) because seating is packed in there and there is no social distance. Staff is wearing masks and most customers are wearing masks while walking in and walking around getting food. But doesn't help when your sitting back to back to people while eating and people coughing into the air. No temperature checks when you enter, but there is hand sanatizer stations. Parking lot has plenty of parking and you can also parked towards the back. I opted for the $28.99 hot pot/Korean bbq AYCE. I believe the hot pot ACYE is $25.99 so I felt for $3 more, it was well worth it!! I won't go all into what they have as if you been to a Hot Pot buffet, you know it's the usual. This place does have a revolving plates where you can get your hot pot side items like mushroom, water cress, corn, and other veggie sides. The sauce bar was awesome as I love making my own sauce. There are no gloves while using the spoons at the sauce bar or any gloves while using the tongs to get your raw seafood and meats. I guess I am touching the untensils that everybody else been touching. (Ugh, hopefully I don't catch anything) The shrimp, crawfish, and clams were super fresh and big. I really enjoyed the shrimp as it was super large and peeled nicely when cooked. I was super impressed with the crawfish as there was tons of meat inside and very large. The meat comes out cleanly as that's how you it's fresh. The short rib has to be brought to you by the staff members. Your able to get everything else. The short ribs were the highlight of my meal. It was juicy and super tasty. The marinade was just right. I also loved the beef bugoli and thin sliced pork belly. I did not get any beef brisket because I am about to get plenty of that back in Atlanta. They also had fried tofu skins which is one of my favorite. For dessert, they had a ice cream bar where you had to scoop it up yourself. I passed on that as I already ate way too much the night before at the Lobster buffet. Lol I did have the sweet juicy oranges. read more

Everything about this place is incredible! Friendly and helpful staff, amazing quality ingredients, and great ambiance for socializing. I love (and prefer) the buffet style of food, it allows you to get as much or as little of an item as you'd like. The conveyer belt is a cool concept and is convenient for getting your hotpot ingredients. For less than $35 all you can eat KBBQ and hot pot, I'm sold. I'm a regular at this place and will forever show it off to friends & family. See my post about Boil Spot on IG: @rosiesfoodtour read more

What an amazing place! So much fun and food was fresh and wonderful. We were looking for a unique dining experience while on a family vacation. There were 11 of us and we had several picky eaters with us so we were a bit nervous about options. The staff was super friendly and service was great. They accommodated our group with no problem and there was something for everyone. The kids really enjoyed making their own recipes and food. Highly recommend. read more

This has been our go-to spot for the past two years until tonight. We won't be returning. Usually, the service is amazing, the waiters are kind and attentive, and the food is fresh. Today, most of the vegetables on conveyor belt were old and shriveled. The waiters argued back with us whenever we simply asked questions (for example, cooking spare ribs in the kitchen, which we have done every single other time with no issue) and especially when we let them know they charged us wrong for the bill and they refused to rectify the situation. Menu says kids 10 and under eat at a discounted price. My little sister is 10 but they decided to charge her adult price because she is tall (she's not that tall at all) and they refused to tell us what their height requirement was. I asked if my mom could be charged at a discounted price then because she was short (I was just upset at this point) and they said no because she is an adult. These are also waiters who have been here for less than two months (said so themselves) and they're already making up rules as they go. Also, they replaced their icecream and it sucks now. TLDR, if you have "tall" kids, don't come here to eat. And don't ask me how "tall" tall is because I don't know! But for reference, my sister is about 5'0. read more

Solid 4 stars. This makes the second time I've tried a hot pot place and this makes the best thus far. Although I'm not a huge fan of hot pot places prior to coming here I do have to say that this place changed my mind. My family and I actually really liked it.....and my daughter who is relatively picky actually loved it, asking if we could return again soon. You can join the waitlist via Yelp too for parties under 7. Also keep in mind that if you have a party less than 7 all at your table must choose the same option -- either hot pot or bbq. If your party is 7+ then they allow variety -- so my hubs and I had the bbq which comes with hot pot and the rest of our table had just hot pot. We were a party of 7 and they were able to accommodate. Keep in mind that they won't seat you until your full party has arrived. They do require masks when you are not sitting at your dining table. Surprised that they had the conveyor working and allowing people to grab items from the bar for your soup and bbq. They also have a small ice cream area that's included with the meal and it's also self serve. Sort of bothered by this given COVID and the fact that they didn't have sanitizer near the stations or no sanitizing of the utensils that folks touch to obtain the various food and ice cream. But that's just the mindset that we've all been accustomed to I suppose. Anyways I tried not to think about it too much and just enjoy the good food. The Bulgogi and spicy pork were good bbq options. The Kalbi (Korean ribs) were flavored very well however VERY fatty! We actually ended up not eating them due to the fat! We opted for the spicy broth and I added tofu, kimchi, dumplings to mine. I also added some garlic, cilantro, onions and scallions from bar area. They also have a sauce bar where you can make your own sauces. So happy that they had hoisin sauce, peanut sauce and sweet chili sauce so that I could make the special blend that my SIL taught me. YUM. For $28 you get unlimited hot pot and bbq and ice cream. We will definitely be back. read more

It's hard to find great Asian places in Tampa, and we were impressed with the qualitybof meat and side items. We came on Friday dinner time and we got a table right away. We ordered hot pot only, and we were delighted with coveyor blet sides. We got a ron of meats and sea food for the hot pot. The bone soup was spot on, very flavorful. We got way more food than we probably should. The dipping sauce was great. Ended meal with a small cup of ice cream. Best to come with a large party. Definitely will come back. read more

Went to hot pot again and like usual the service was great the food was fresh and good. This place is the bomb. read more

Great place to get hot pot, tons of options. My friends and I go here a lot whenever we need to celebrate something. This place is great for groups. Service is quick and efficient--for the most part it's self serve. I recommend bone broth for hot pot and soju for sharing. Fun fact: if you google the name of this establishment, you will probably see medical diagrams and not the restaurant named Boil Spot. Fair warning. read more

As soon as my friend that lives nearby told me that the dim sum restaurant in front of MD Market on Fowler changed into an all-you-can-eat hotpot place, I drove right over for an inspection. A few says later, I arrived around dinner to give them a try. The restaurant is similar to other locations: Vegetables and noodles go around on a conveyor belt. Meats, sauces, and side dishes are on the cold bar in the back. There are bubble teas and drinks available. You can grill at the table if you would like to try a mainland China BBQ experience for an additional fee. Note that this is not Korean grilling. There is a two-hour time limit per person. My recommendation is the same as most of these hotpot places--- GET THE SPICY HOTPOT. The sauce bar here is very much lacking, but the meats are kept chilled and the sliced beef is much better quality than any other places I have been to in Tampa Bay. If you really want a bubble tea, you can get it here. But, it is much better if you walk across the street to the actual bubble tea shop. When I heard that this new hotpot place was called "Boil Spot," the first thing I thought of was getting grease spots on my clothing from the hotpot oil splashing onto me. Did anyone else think the same thing? read more

Amazing staff, amazing atmosphere, amazing. Eighty five characters for yelp to accept my review

We decided to dine in on a Sunday afternoon in celebration of my sibling's birthday. As you approach the restaurant customers are greeted by a small sign that is posted in the window of the door which states that each party has a time limit of 1.5 hour to eat once the party has been seated. Once we entered the establishment, the hostess explained the options which were BBQ and/or Hot Pot. Half of our party of 4 did not eat meat. However, we were informed that if half of the party selected BBQ then the entire table would be charged for BBQ. Additionally, we were informed that some meat options were only available for the BBQ selection. Needless to say, we were completely confused by the end of the conversation. After discussing the available options with our waiter, we decided to go with the Hot Pot. The soup which the meats and Ramen were cooked in were all either meat or mushroom based. As a result, one of the members of our party decided not to partake as they did not eat meat or mushrooms. The price was $30 per person for the Hot Pot, plus drinks. This is an experience but is not necessarily a restaurant that I would frequent. The individuals in our party enjoyed the event and all agreed that the food was tasty. I would recommend that the owners and staff focus on how to efficiently and effectively explain the process to customers as this would decrease the likelihood of confusion. read more

I love the dumplings and the food taste amazing I even love the ice cream even though I accidentally tried the coffee ice cream as a kid I don't care. I didn't stay up all night but this place is really amazing and even love the soy sauce even the smell is amazing. read more

Pros: all you can eat self cooked fondue like but with a variety of broths. We come pretty frequently, like every weekend. They have a good variety of protein (squid, frog legs, lamb, beef, pork, shrimp, fish, meatballs, fish balls, tofu, blood pudding, etc), noodles (ramen, udon, shanghai, rice cake, etc.), sauces (miso sauce, house sauce, peppers, etc) and veggies (mushrooms variety, dark leafy variety, root veggies, etc) in comparison to the other hot boil spot down the street. There is also an option to get korean bbq as well but its just too much food for us so we just stick with the hot pot. My favorite thing about is the fact that you can choose to eat fairly healthy here. Love it!! read more

Their customer service was a five star, the waitress we had was really nice and always checks up on us. I'm rating the food 3 star. Korean bbq would have been better if they don't put the parchment liner. All the oil ends up being soaked by this. Our bbq weren't as crunchy because of this liner they put, however they have some plenty of dipping sauces variety. Their hot pot spicy soup flavor is pretty good, I'm just not a fan of this some sort of ingredient they put in there that has a floral smell. I also wish that their bowl for the soup was a little bigger. Our bill for kbbq and hotpot for with persons came out to around $62.xx. read more

My husband really hyped this place up and it did not disappoint! The place is small and no room for big tables/parties but for the deliciousness, I'd make do. We had the bbq added (which is a little more expensive but worth every penny). You have a small grill in front of you where you can grill whatever meat or veggie you want. They have anything and everything you can think of. The sauces are incredible. The veggies are fresh. You choose your base and everything comes out on the conveyor belt where you choose what you want to add. The waiters constantly refill the base if you want and you can always just ask for more. They also change the sheet on the grill so it doesn't start burning. I would recommend to all! You will leave full and happy!! read more
