This was my first time trying a hot pot place around here (I had only been to one before in Orlando), so I was really excited to find one close to home, and it ended up being such a good experience. One thing I really liked is that you're not limited to just one option, you can do hot pot, BBQ, or both, which makes it way more fun if you want to try a bit of everything. The variety is honestly insane. They have all kinds of meats like beef, lamb, pork, and chicken with different cuts (including thinly sliced and pork belly), plus seafood like shrimp, clams, crab legs, and even octopus. They also have things like tofu, mushrooms (a lot of different kinds), corn, eggs, kimchi, edamame, and even frog legs. There are also plenty of sides and extras like noodles, fried rice, and a bunch of desserts. They had fruit like oranges and pineapple, plus little cakes that reminded me of Korean/Japanese desserts. I think they also had seaweed salad. The sauce station is really good too, you can make your own sauces with a bunch of options like peanut sauce, chili powder, garlic, soy sauce, scallions, and more. For drinks, they have pretty much everything. Sodas, alcohol (beer, wine, sake, soju), and also things like fruit teas and bubble tea (I saw flavors like Thai milk tea and others). You also get to choose your soup base for hot pot, which is really nice. They had options like miso, tomato, herbal, and spicy (Szechuan). The place itself is clean, including the bathrooms, and the atmosphere is really nice. The server I had was super attentive and friendly too. read more

Today we had lunch at 8 Pot, and I can say choosing this place was a great decision. It's very clean, and the décor is nice, simple, and not overwhelming. The servers are attentive, and so is the receptionist. The Cat Server was a funny and interesting surprise. The food is good -- we tried the mushroom, tomato, and pork bone soups, and all three were very good. We will definitely come back. read more

Overall a good experience. Clean restaurant and stations. Quality of the meat and vegetables were pretty good. All you can eat hotpot and bbq. Service was really good. With so many options now for these types of restaurants, as long as the place is clean and the quality of food are good, then I am happy! Also, no stomach issues after eating lol Only complaint was our party was too large for one table so we split up into two tables. One table wanted both hotpot and kbbq option, but the second table did not. They required both tables to choose the same option. That didn't make sense because we were technically two tables/parties. Largest table they have is for 6 seats so keep that in mind as well. read more

8pot is a wonderful new hot pot and bbq option in northern PBC. And they stay open late too, enabling us to grab dinner after a show in WPB. Price for AYCE is reasonable, and we splurged to have both the hot pot and the grill for $6 more. The central, shared grill is well ventilated. I did not like the idea of grilling on the disposable sheets at first, but it actually worked surprisingly well. The meats still char up just fine. The sheets are changed often enough and coated with something that tasted like butter/margarine. And it's definitely an improvement (and more environmentally friendly) to not have to change the entire hot grill during the meal. Hot pots are provided individually, and they have a wonderful selection of broths. Their variety of meats and veggies was great. Highlights were the clams, enoki and king oyster mushrooms, large head-on shrimp, and beautiful whole octopus. Lots of other veggies too like pumpkin and watercress. A big surprise was the snow crab clusters. I usually find these too salty with a horrible texture. But warming them up on the grill and getting a little char and butter/margarine on them brought out their sweetness and they were delicious. Plenty of thinly sliced meat was available, including bulgogi beef/pork, lamb, beef tongue, and others. They also delivered a small selection of premium meats that included kalbi beef. It wasn't clear if you could ask for more of this selection, and we didn't try. Given what prices are like now everywhere, I thought the value here was reasonable, especially for the wide variety of ingredients. Drinks are reasonably priced too. However, if you just want to gorge on premium selections of meat, you might prefer a place that focuses just on Korean bbq ayce. Staff are friendly and attentive. They were quick to adjust heat, add broth, or change the grilling sheets. They also gave us a last call warning for the food. My only small complaint was that, since it was toward the end of the evening, they didn't refill some items. I had been hoping to try some of the prepared desserts, like the Asian donuts. Guess we'll have to go back! read more

I went and tried this spot out with my son today and it was amazing! Staff was so friendly and helpful. Grill was fast and cooked evenly. The hotpot broths were delicious. All the meats and veggies were fresh and delicious. Well worth it! read more

We came here for date night the other day. Service was really kind and quick. The decor is simple yet upscale and everything was very clean. We opted for the Korean BBQ and they brought in complimentary cuts of cow meat plus they had a buffet style of options for veggies, meats, seafood, sauces, and sides. Everything was seasoned well. I finished the meal with taro boba tea and it was delicious as well. read more

I had never done hot pot/Korean BBQ like this before. I think I would have liked it better if I was explained what I was supposed to do better. I was just told grab whatever and told the pot with thr broth was for Hot pot and the other was BBQ. Yes, they have a few signs that say how long to cook things. I think the buffet of ingredients was just too overwhelming for me. I definitely enjoyed the BBQ better than the hot pot. I think I would try it again, but maybe I will bring someone who has more experience to guide me through. I did like the little robot that brought me my lychee tea. read more

The spicy bulgogi at 8 Pot Korean BBQ & HotPot is legitimately fire every single time, bold flavor, perfect heat, real Korean taste. The broth hits deep rich savory notes, the meats are fresh and perfectly sliced, and the spice level hits without overpowering the rest of the flavors. Sabrina gave us next-level customer service, attentive friendly and genuinely made us feel welcome, checked in on me throughout the meal. The whole vibe is clean comfortable and ideal for group dinners or solo cravings. If you want real spicy bulgogi that delivers with great service and a place that treats you right, this is the spot. read more

Love love love. Went to 8Pot twice and each time I went was an excellent experience. The food is fresh and delicious. The decor is very upscale and the restaurant is spacious. The staff is super friendly and always around to remove dishes and refill drinks. The Korean bbq is also delicious. Looking forward to our next trip back! read more

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! 8Pot is hands down one of the best hidden gems I've experienced. Not only do they offer top tier hot pot, but they also serve incredible Korean BBQ, it's literally the best of both worlds. The quality of the meat and broth was amazing, everything was fresh and flavorful. The vibe is lively, the service is fast and friendly, and the variety of options made it a full on feast. I'm already planning my next visit. If you're a fan of hot pot or KBBQ, this place is a must. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE. Compared to other kbbq around and in neighboring city's this is the BEST i've ever tried. The service is amazing and the price is fair for the amount of food you get. This place has reminded me of home in the best way possible and I haven't gotten that with other places i've tried before. 8pot is super clean and organized with super nice servers and front of the house. I so recommend anyone who's looking for a place to eat to try 8pot out. They also have boba! Awesome place!!!! 11/10 read more

I came here with some coworkers on a Saturday night at 6 and the timing was perfect. It got busy soon after so we had no trouble getting a table. This place is fairly new so the ambiance is modern and chic and it's clean inside. Service was very quick. Almost like we were getting rushed as we finished and were sitting and chatting and were told to leave the restaurant since there's a two hour limit. There was no one else waiting for a table anymore and the restaurant wasn't closing soon, so I get it, but I also don't. Staff is okay, they could've been more polite. I honestly didn't understand our waitress that well because of her English and she wasn't friendly. She never refilled our drinks and even had a hard time understanding what we needed at times. I may only come back one more time to give this place a second chance since the service was what it was. Food was good although not the freshest of seafood. My tummy hurt the next day. I liked the Szechuan broth (not too spicy). Next time I want to try the bbq. It was around $32 per person for hot pot or bbq or both for $5 extra. The entire table has to agree on an option though. We had trouble with one friend that wasn't eating but got a tea since she came late. read more

Cool experience! We came here being hot pot newbies and it was a bit intimidating and we wish we had been better prepared. We ordered the bbq and hot pot since they both sounded cool. Two people was $100. Now this was definitely overkill for us we ate one of each and didn't think we needed so much. The waitress was very nice and explained what to do. You grab bbq meets to heat up in the grill in the center of the table and also some noodles and meat for hot pot. My husband was a little annoyed because he was overwhelmed with stuff and not knowing what everything was and ended up getting items he didn't like. There is a charge for people who get too much food and waste like $20 a pound so he felt like he had to eat the stuff he didn't like. I would come back and pick stuff I like but first time came be intimidating. There are booth like tables very nicely set up but there are also temperatures on the table which we had no idea what to do with. read more

8pot Korean BBQ HotPot - Udon noodles with beef bogoli and bok choy - Bubble Tea Near Me - West Palm Beach, Florida

This is the worst hot pot place I've ever ordered take out from. I got the herbal soup and Szechuan spicy. The soup is SO watered down tastes like MSG and water. Most of the hot pot places I am used to ordering from on the west coast have the ingredients built in and the total pot is usually ~$25. The was $15 for just the soup, $2.60 to add a mandatory carb, $2.90 for each vegetable and $6.50 for each protein. If the quantity and quality was good, I wouldn't be this upset. But the beef, shrimp and chicken tasted stale and very overcooked. Prawn was powdery soft. The corn tasted like water. The tofu- 3 sad pieces. Lotus root also tasteless. It's almost like they boil all this in a big pot of unseasoned water (not stock) together for a long time in the morning and put it in containers to dry out. Pieces of enoki and udon from one order in another separate order. All that for more than $30 a bowl. Doesn't even come with chopsticks. Glad I didn't pay $9 for boba. The reason they get away with it is because there is no competition... yet. Edit in response to the owner: Thank you for taking the time to respond. The delivery process doesn't make the corn taste like water, the tofu sour, the prawns not fresh and the beef texture like jerky -see the nice white curly edges in the photos. Like I said I am happy to pay the price if there is quality. I do hope you try your own food and make some improvements. Hot pot is simple and it's a good business model but can only do well in the long term the ingredients are fresh and of good quality. read more

8Pot is a new hot pot/Korean barbecue spot in the Village Blvd Plaza.. Same owner as Rock N Crab, and she has hit another one out of the ballpark! We've already been here twice in less than a week.. There's so much selection, and the quality of the selection is considerably higher than others in the area.. One of my favorites is catfish which you don't see as an option at other hot pot spots.. I can not recommend enough, has instantly become one of my favorite go to restaurants.. I promise this restaurant will not disappoint! :) read more

Amazing food, amazing service, great ambiance, even better pricing, truly the best in the city.

The food was delicious, BUT they only have melamine dishes and bowls. Those are PLASTIC and an internet search read, "leaching can release melamine and formaldehyde into food, which may cause kidney damage, stones, or potential carcinogenicity." As I said, food was delicious, but I am saying "no" to melamine! About $85 for lunch for 2 BEFORE tip. read more

Good service and attention. Loved the food. Really nice ambiance and costumer supoort.

We were excited that the place finally opened, but unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. Many of the meats listed on the menu weren't even available at the buffet. Instead, they bring out a bull statue with just eight types of meat from the kitchen only once. For an all-you-can-eat restaurant, that was pretty underwhelming. I hope they make some changes. read more

It was pleasantly surprising nice atmosphere good quality of food and a variety of different meats and vegetables.

This is our first time here and our party of five all enjoyed the hot pot so much. Everything is kept very clean. They have everything you need at the sauce bar and everything you could think of to add to your hot pot that you could imagine. The service is wonderful and the personal touch of playing worship music was extremely appreciated by our family. read more

Very clean and attentive staff. Food was very fresh and flavorful. Thank you! We will be back.

I have never had to write a bad review before, but I felt like our experience needs to be shared. We have never had a waitress make us feel so unwelcome. We went for my birthday, and I have had hot pot before, just not Korean barbecue and we were very excited to try. From the start, we felt like our waitress wanted us out. The entire time we were there she was rushing us. She put all of our food onto the grill when we were not ready for it yet as we had just cooked other food and wanted to get sauce resulting in some of it getting burned. We could not go at our own pace and felt like we had to speed eat. She turned off the grill very early on so we could not go up and get more stuff to grill if we wanted to and turned our hot pots off while we were eating as well. We would be in the middle of eating and she would take our plates and dipping sauces away. Every time she would pass us by, which was often, she would glare at us. We were very uncomfortable the entire time and we were nothing but kind to her. We felt so judged the entire time and for almost $40 per person that was not the experience that we should have gotten. We did not eat as much as we would have because we felt that she wanted us to leave. The food was good, and I liked how much of a variety they had, but we really did not get to enjoy it and that is upsetting considering how excited we were for the experience. read more

Wonderful date night. Cant beat the prices, food was fresh, and staff was nice. Great experience overall.

GREASY. I will never understand why some kbbq places use parchment paper to cook. It prevents the grease from dripping down the grease tray. Not only was the grease overflowing on our food but it made it difficult to cook as the hot oil spattered back on our hands. Oil was spattered all over the table! read more

Great selection and fast service. Neat robot to deliver the drinks! Asked for extra item to be placed out and it was instantly there.

Great food good atmosphere, I would highly recommend this to anyone who likes Korean BBQ or hot pot.

Our family really enjoyed the experience here; we all left full and satisfied with our meals. The staff was friendly and helpful, even made us sauces, helped cook and made great suggestions as only one of us was an experienced hot- potter. We were impressed with the selection of meat and veggies and the manner in which they were offered, with no worries about items sitting around without proper refrigeration. The tables themselves were large & comfortable for us 4 to cook, eat and serve. It's great for an interactive group evening out. Looking forward to our return. read more
