Hot Pot World （锅天下）

"Pros: Clean and comfortable: The restaurant appears to have clean restrooms and ample parking, providing a convenient and hygienic dining experience. * Potential for improvement: While the current selection may be limited, there's a chance the restaurant is still developing its menu and offerings. Cons: Limited variety: Compared to other hotpot places near USF, the selection of food and appetizers seems restricted, potentially limiting your choices and overall dining experience. * Portion sizes: The small pot sizes may not be an idea for everyone. $30 per person for dinner + $5 additional for BBQ. Lunch is cheaper. * Dessert options: The lack of diverse dessert options could leave you wanting more at the end of your meal. * Ambiance: The near-empty atmosphere might not be ideal for those seeking a bustling and lively dining experience. Overall: Hot Pot World has some positive aspects, such as cleanliness and convenience. However, the limited food variety, small portion sizes, and lack of dessert options might be drawbacks compared to competitors, especially for the price. If the restaurant addresses these aspects and expands its offerings, it has the potential to be a more well-rounded dining experience."

"I feel like Hot Pot World read reviews of all surrounding hot pot restaurants and catered to become one of the best and cleanest hot pots in Tampa. They have only been open for 7 months. It sits on the end of a shopping center plaza and can be spotted easily. Upon arrival, staff greeted and were very friendly. Tables are huge! You’re not crammed up in spaces next to other tables and the booths are spacious! Restaurant and restrooms are very clean. I love that they have cooked foods for those who want to eat some food or have little children that can also eat. Their fried rice was absolutely delish! Yum! Wings have a garlic seasoning and were good. Got the spicy Szechuan broth and it was good, not the best but with extra sauces, it was delish. Their selection is huge and love that it’s self serve. Soda was not canned either like other restaurants so you get free refills! Service was impeccable. I can’t say enough about this place, worth the farther drive out. I would and definitely plan to come back!"

"This place is great! It's clean & modern. The food is fresh and the staff explained how everything works. They have a wide variety of foods for the grill and hotpot."

"Everything about this restaurant was great. The place was clean and smelled good. The staff and greeter Julie was very nice. Our server Kerem was awesome, the staff also worked as a team in bringing and cleaning up our food. The food was fresh and awesome. Then we also had tons of seafood: crawfish, snow crab, large selection of different food, dessert and that was really good as well. Great atmosphere with really nice people."

"First and foremost, the service was exceptional. Our server went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic meal. He patiently explained the entire hotpot process, from choosing our broths and ingredients to the perfect cooking times. On top of that, I accidentally left my sunglasses behind when we left the restaurant, and the staff noticed it immediately. They ran out to return them to me, which I greatly appreciate Now, let's talk about the star of the show—the hotpot itself. The selection of broths and ingredients was extensive, and the quality was top-notch. We opted for a combination of spicy and mild broths, and both were bursting with flavor. The ingredients were fresh and beautifully presented, making our meal not only delicious but also visually appealing. I must mention that hotpot can be on the pricey side, but this restaurant falls within the typical range for hotpot prices. Considering the quality of food, service, and the memorable experience, it's worth every penny. In conclusion, this hotpot restaurant is a true gem. From the outstanding service to the delectable hotpot options, it's an absolute must-visit."
