i live 1 block from ipot, if u want to come be ready to wait at least an hr for dinner time and good luck with parking. theres a line EVERY night. izakaya sozi is across the st too if u want to wait for more food. i live 16blocks from the pot, no one ever eats there. the firey hotpot place used to be another hotpot place, g cube, weird, didnt know it changed. love hot pot garden on taraval until it burned down inside, but try it in millbrae. was my fave.

place in orlando, FL called 9 spices hot pot, they offer all you can eat for dinner and the ingredients come on a conveyor belt like conveyor belt sushi, as well as being able to order directly. now this is the only hot pot place in orlando that I know of, and the only one i have ever been to, but I love the idea of conveyor belt sushi and as a hot pot it worked very well! (also their herbal soup base is AMAZING)
