    This place is fantastic! You pick your own marinated meats and seafood from a buffet bar, And your vegetables and sides from conveyor belt! You then cook your food and grow right at your table and they bring you out a giant pot for you to make your own hot pot! Thank ​You pay one price barbecue and hot pot. Completely reasonably priced, service is great, food is fresh and delicious! Definitely my new favorite place!

    The hot pot table

    We had tried a Mr. hot pot up north while visiting family and were extremely pleased. And when we discovered there was a Mr. hot pot here near us We had to try it. We were extremely pleased. As we entered we were greeted by some very nice people, all smiles, all happy to see us. We were seated right away. On the side of the table there is a conveyor belt with small plates of different types of foods which you select from to go into your hot pot. You have a choice of vegetable soup, miso soup, meat, soup, different types of broth. you turn on your burner place your hot pot with the juice in and as the vegetables, whatever you want put in your hot pot as it passes by you grab it and you dump it into your hot pot. Also, you can look at some of the videos. They have different types of meats or veggies of all kinds that you can go and pick up to either put in your hot pot or cook in your grill, which is in the middle of the table. They give you plenty of butter and after your butter melts then you can put your meats or whatever you want and cook it that way or you can put whatever you select into your hot pot. We were very happy and it was my daughters birthday. She and her husband and son had a wonderful experience. They had never been to anything this unique. After our meal, the employees came out and they sang happy birthday. In the picture you can see they gave her a hat and some happy birthday glasses and some gifts and they were very nice gifts too! and a small cake. It was very well done. The food was delicious. The broth was delicious. The ambience was traditional, very clean and Employees were extremely helpful. They came by often gathered plates refilled our drinks, and they have some of the Boba teas I've found. If you've never experienced Asian cuisine like this, this is a treat for you. I would definitely put it on a must try list. It's fun and something different. recommended and we'll go back again. It is a little pricey, but not for the amount of food that you get to eat you can keep going and going and going and the price is still the same and I believe it cost us about $35 a person which was very well worth it for all the the everything that we received and the superb service.

    What a fun food experience and treat to share with family and friends! Every table has a personal hot pot with choice of soup base and a shared grill- right on the table. Epic amount and cross-section of fresh meat, fish and veges that you can take for your soup and your grill. Even has a conveyor belt bringing other specialty food items that you add to your own culinary masterpiece. Go with family & friends and plan for a good amount of time as everyone has such a great time creating their soups and grilling their meats exactly like they like them! Very friendly staff that helps you get acclimated to the setup and offer lots of suggestions to get you started.

    Stopped by with my son for dinner after work. We were there around 630 and business was starting to pick up. The restaurant was pretty full by the time we left. The waitress came by as soon as we sit and explained everything to us. We had hotpot and bbq. The hotpot is good but the bbq was my favorite. Salmon, pork chops, lobster balls, qual eggs, shrimp, chicken, squid, several types of beef, scallops, mussels, and so much more. All delicious and cooked to perfection (lol). They even had ice cream (and cake) available for desert, and a make-your-own sauce station. Very positive experience and we're already talking about bringing his boys.

    We've enjoyed a few Hot Spot places around Tampa Bay and found ourselves in Springhill and saw this new one, well you gotta try out new places. I can say our service greatly lacked "any service." Other than sit here, what drink do you want, that was it, and picking up the dishes. No, "have you tried hot pot before, are you familiar how it works, here is the temperature gauge, there are the BBQ items, any questions," would have been nice! I did see one employee cooking BBQ for two elderly ladies and engaging frequently with them. Our server never came back and our drinks were plopped on our table by the guy who picked up our dishes. Not a good way to good way to make an impression with me. The server, I mean dish picker upper,dropped off our base soup. I chose the vegetable soup and my date chose the Tom Yum soup. I'd skip the vegetable soup, it was literally water with 2 bok choy , it had absolutely no flavor whatsoever. My date stated the Tom Yum soup had some flavor but very hard to define or describe. He didn't recommend it. We enjoyed, as always being able to add items to our soups, off the conveyor. I desperately tried to get some kind of flavor into my broth so my additions would have flavor, but I couldn't get a flavor I enjoyed and hardly added anything but noodles, mushrooms, scallions, tofu and corn. I ended up throwing the ingredients on the BBQ with sauce and that helped. The BBQ items to choose from where plenty and dish picker upper replaced our BBQ once when it began to burn. We couldn't find the temperature gauge for the BBQ and he only came if we got up to get items. Back to the "I like service!" Our favorite thing was the desserts and we did try them all. As for the Soups, "blah", not a winner. BBQ I give a good rating, but would have given higher if someone would have shown me where to turn down the temperature so I didn't scorch my food. Overall, the experience for the taste and price was not a win for us, we've had much better tasting soup bases, service, and more variety on the conveyor and seasonings.

    I have been here close to 10 times now. Consistent local hot pot. The sauce bar is my favorite. This is not a fancy hot pot and if you get Shabu in various places you need to set expectation on where you are. With that said I keep going back because I enjoy it. The only down side is they don't have pork belly for hot pot on the Korean barbecue. The spicy broth is spicy... that should be self explanatory but sometimes it's not! They do a nice job of cleaning the tables as they turn over. The bathrooms are also clean.

    Best kbbq and hot pot

    10/10 love this place totally recommend we come here all the time they gave birthday gift which was so nice

    Wow!!! Our family of 8 ate here for dinner enjoying both the hot pot and the BBQ grill. Restaurant was very clean and everything we ate was delicious. Service was so friendly and staff were over the top kind. To top it off they sang to my daughter for her birthday! 10 stars all the way- we will be back for sure! -Christina

    Soooooooo, my wife is from the west coast and since moving to Florida she has said numerous times how much she misses Korean BBQ. We've tried many of them in the TB area but all have left her disappointed. Keep in mind my wife is super booghie Saw this place open up a bit ago and finally convinced her to try it. She was reluctant cause it's in Spring Hill but finally agreed. This place is amazing!!! The owner was super nice and chatted with us for a bit. This is like the old school Korean BBQs that allow you to go get your own portions, sauces, sides and all. The conveyer belt of sides and desserts is fun! Food was fresh, the staff was very nice and attentive and the pricing is solid for hot pot and K BBQ. My wife was happy and achieving that is NO easy task.....trust me . This place is one of the best things to come to that area in a long time. We will be back.

It was a very interesting and different type of restaurant and if you haven't tried this, it is very unique and fun. They have tables for large crowds. Bathrooms were clean areas for disabled folks. Plenty of parking plenty of handicap parking. Children were there and they were having a good time. our waitress was very helpful. We never ran out of drink and as we use the plates, they would immediately come by and pick up and make sure we had more room. And in the center was a barbecue pan and we could barbecue our meat. Which they had a extremely large selection to choose from. It was chicken, pork, shrimp, different types of seafood. There were crabs, scallops, crayfish, huge shrimp to choose from. They had then sliced cuts of beef also brisket and pork. They had tripe octopus different shrimp. And another section they had all the sauces and different spices you could select from. The food was absolutely delicious. We had such a good time, but we ate too much. In the end, our birthday girl they came out with a cake and sing happy birthday, and we were really surprised that they gave her quite a few gifts. The gifts consisted of a rather large bag that you could carry different things with, a teddy bear with roses, a keychain, a crown, glasses that were funny that lit up and a couple other little things was very very pleasing. If you have not tried Mr. hot pot put it on your must try list because it's definitely worth it. You'll have a great time great atmosphere it's clean. The staff is friendly.

I've always wanted to do hot pot but could never really justify it. After reading reviews and menus on dozens of hot pot AND KBBQ places, Hot Pot World won out. Multiple friends even told me this was the best price they'd seen. The service was amazing. I stopped by the day before to let them know a party of about 10 (turned out to be 7, my friends are not always reliable!). The manager who took my reservation was so sweet, told me happy birthday, booked us in their private karaoke room, and gave me tips for birthday treats! When we got there, a few friends were delayed (again, reliability is not 100%!) and the staff was super sweet about it. They didn't rush us to order, got our drinks going, and helped me set up the karaoke system so we could play videos as we wanted. Once everyone was there, we placed our orders, some did just one or the other but most of us did both the hot pot and the BBQ experience and they're SO nice about not making the whole table do both (i definitely could not eat both!) It really is an all you care to eat experience. The buffet is massive! So many delicious meats and seafood and plenty of fresh veggies. Also an epic sauce bar, I absolutely love blending my own sauce together and really loved the sesame/soy/garlic/chili concoction I put together. Our server checked in often, topping up broth, changing out the BBQ plate, and making sure we were good on drinks. They also made my birthday SO fun by turning on the party lights, bringing me a little crown, singing Happy Birthday, and providing an absolutely ADORABLE dessert. I had a great time and my friends seemed to as well. I would 100% do this again, zero regrets at all!

In a somewhat run down looking strip mall, the small restaurant was simple, but showing K-music videos on a TV. Unfortunately I couldn't see it from my seat, but I'll change that next visit! Our server was polite, helpful, and attentive. We ordered a ridiculous amount of food since we drove 45m to try it, so had a Kimchi Pajeon, Kimbap, Soon Tofu, and Veggie Fried Rice. The pancake was DELICIOUS-super flavorful and chock full of veggies. I did not care for the Kimbap, only because it had less flavor and was a little more dry than the other items, but it tasted very fresh. The Soon Tofu was spicy and full of flavor. It came with a huge heaping of rice in a cute covered dish to keep it hot - I'm ordering these things for home! The veggie fried rice, for which we opted no egg, was also fantastic, but we ended up taking ,ost of it and the pancake home for leftovers. We were also served Ban Chan - side dishes, of small tastes of seasoned veggies such as bean sprouts, eggplant, cucumbers, broccoli, radish, and more. It was all amazing.

No complaints, the egg had a runny yolk which means it was not overcooked like many I have had in the past. The bibimbop sauce is delicious with just the right amount of kick. Waitress brought out banchans, there were six different types, pickled eggplant, nori, broccoli, kimchi, bean sprouts, and cucumbers. Son ordered pork bulgogi. The plate was heaping with pork, and the sauce was nice and thick and stuck to the pork. Spouse ordered beef bulgogi and it took about 10 minutes for his to come out after our son and I had our meals. The plate was heaping, but spouse said the beef was a little bland, but some of the bibimbop sauce took care that. Son and spouse took leftovers with them. We were kind of disappointed in the items they did not have, but the lady waiting on us was nice and we realize they are a small business and when things are busy, it is easy to run out. The interior was a little dark, did not go to the restroom so cannot comment on the cleanliness but what we did see looked clean.
