Small little spot in a strip mall with killer food.
Food and presentation - The soups, ramens, noodles and desserts are killer. Curry is spot on. Food Presentation is super cool and makes dining here an experience and not just a meal. Comes out with a heated dish over a small fire, bubbling hot and ready to add your dry ramen. Again, experiential dining.

Atmosphere was “meh”. Super small 10-12 table dining area. Laminated menus with sharpie scratching out menu details….It was clean and cute, but I wasn’t transported to Asia.

Service - Have mercy on today’s youths work ethic and understanding of the “service” industry. I asked for water refills while the server was on her phone. Had to ask to get our table bussed as dessert was brought out…There obviously wasn’t room for the desserts because the aforementioned experiential dining experience cluttered the table. No check backs. I’m a ball buster on service for sure, but this server was wholly unaware.

Price - A bit spendy for soup….$100 for my wife and two kids. No drinks, but entrees and 3 desserts.

I could definitely see myself coming back here. Occupying the space formerly owned by Corea Blue, this soup shop offers a short menu but puts quality & focus into the dishes. Plan to spend a little more time than you might normally take to eat, as the soup comes out very hot with an open flame under it, and you will need time for it to cool down. They will also accommodate a range of tastes with their spiciness levels (the medium spice opened my sinuses right up).

Parking: The shared parking lot is centrally located to all the other businesses in the strip mall. Situated on DeBarr right by Beaver Pl with the two stoplights close together, so be aware of sort of a one-way flow in the parking lot.

Surprisingly good.

Hott Spott on DeBarr today was 9/10 for the delicious hot pot soups (I’m looking at you, red curry - yummmm), 1/10 for the completely oblivious and disinterested service. Despite being the only customers in the room, the entire time we were there, the two very young looking teenage girls were innaccurate with our orders, didn’t check on us at all (I had to ask several times for help with the hot pots themselves), and didn’t bother to refill our water glasses even when asked. They spent the entire time we were there behind the counter or sitting at a nearby table staring at their phones, never making eye contact or even seeming to remember we existed. ?

Atmosphere was clean but strange with super sexualized music videos (think Wreckingball) playing loudly on the dining area tv. I was with my own and a friend’s children and it got a bit awkward at times…

If I go again and see either of them “hosting” I will continue walking to My Shwarma House just down the sidewalk. Sad but true. I’m sure they’re nice girls but have literally no interest in serving customers.

The Hotpot soup is ok. I prefer the pork rib broth than the spicy one. Beef stick is good. Service was good as well.

Amazing food at The Hottest Spot with great customer service. The crab racoons, the chef hott pot special, and the tempura Oreos were all delicious. The hott pot was such a joy and big enough for two. Great place!

The staff is super rude. We arrive at their 15:45. There is someone in the restaurant but refuse to open the door for us. I know it’s not yet dinner time but someone should at least open the door and tell us when will be opened.

I have LOVED this place since it opened specifically because of how fresh the food is. My sister and I eat here often and have not ever had to send food back. it must be under new ownership because half the menu items are gone, the substitute for our favorite TomYum was not nowhere near close, half the meet suppose to be in it wasnt, the crab was like paste, the squid gray and like a rubber band. it was pungent in smell and taste. inedible, someone is going to get sick. so we sent it back to try the curry which again was missing half the ingredients supposed to be in it. I will not be going back. very disappointed.
