Mr. Pot Hot Pot - Bloomington

This was my very first hot pot exp. For a first timer this place in my opinion was enjoyable. Was all you can eat for 26$ person. We as in 2 of us ordered the whole menu and were there about 2hr. The selection was good. And the staffer was very friendly and refilled us in a very timely manner. They charge and auto 15% tip. And if your going to eat here I would call ahead to make sure they have stuff In stock. As they were out of some menu item’s which could lead to dissatisfaction if you do hot pot a lot. I still give them 5 stars because the service, the presentation and the overall exp was amazing!! Will definitely be going again.Vegetarian options: You can eat here meat free and still very much enjoy your self.Parking: Parking is good and close to building free lot.Dietary restrictions: They ask and explain when you go!

Our visit was nice, though they were out of a couple items. It is about $33/person for full menu or $10 less for one round and single choice of meat, vegie, noodle, etc. with required 15% gratuity and tax included in price. The drinks, sauces, and utensils are self serve. Remainder of ingredients and broth are selected from menu and brought to the table. There are additional items and drinks that cost separately as well, but are marked in the menu.Vegetarian options: Tofu, mushrooms, corn, veggies, etc.

My coworker and I stopped in for a 45-min lunch experience on a Fri and were immediately seated. Parking is super convenient in the large free lot it shares with several other businesses. This place was so perfect for a cold winter day! We couldn’t believe it wasn’t packed!Samuel seemed to be the only employee on the floor but he was quick, hospitable, and very informative. We explained that we had never tried hot pot before so Samuel explained the menu, self-serve stations, prep process. He also brought out our hot pot cart and cashed us out from the table.If you’ve never tried hot pot before, you choose your broth and add ins that can be meats, seafoods, noodles, and veggies. (The garlic and cilantro from the sauce bar made my herbal broth FIRE!!! The broth is then boiled on the table burners right in front of you within 60-seconds and then you can add your treats to cook. More dense foods take more time to cook but it all cooks so fast. You then ladle out some broth and fixings into your bowl to enjoy. Add more to your pot while you dine so it cooks while you enjoy your soup. The lobster balls were my favorite!Definitely carve out an hour to properly enjoy your whole experience. We were kind of short on time and it was hard to hurry since everything was so hot. We opted for the $18.99 lunch special (11am-2pm where you choose 2 meets and 5 add-ins. We were stuffed and so cozy afterwards. Warm fresh whole food ingredients. A steamy bowl in your face. And really just a fun interactive dining experience. We will be back all winter!

I went here on Thursday morning. Server (Women asian) was playing cell phone not pay attention to customer. Moreover, the quality of food is not good such as beef and meat ball taste are not good. And, herbal soup is no taste. I asked to change the soup, they charge $5. I just tried once and dont like it. Server said you dont like, but other customer like it! The way she said was so rude! And other soup just so so.
