My friend and I are regulars at Haidilao, but we've never really tried an AYCE hot pot place before, so we decided to go to Seapot because of all the videos I've seen on TikTok and Instagram -- and we're glad we did! We went on a Saturday right at 11:00 AM right when they opened, and it quickly filled up, which was a good sign.
Food: I opted for the spicy house broth, and it was the perfect level of heat, thanks to the Sichuan peppers and peppercorns. The revolving hotpot sides and seafood on the belt were a fun concept. I tried the beef toro, beef brisket, natural angus prime, and akaushi wagyu beef, along with the New Zealand lamb. The beef toro and wagyu were very similar, but the wagyu definitely stood out -- so tender and flavorful! The sides were also fresh and plentiful, which I appreciated. The sauce bar was decent, wished they had a little more, but it's definitely doable. The hot foods were mediocre. The little dessert bar was great as well!
Service: Grace was our server and she was extremely kind, knowledgeable, and informative. She gets the job done and makes sure you're doing good throughout your entire experience.
Ambiance: chill but fast-paced, as you'd expect from a busy, popular spot. It was fun and lively, without being overwhelming.
Overall, Seapot is a good spot for AYCE hotpot. The food quality and service was well paired with the pricing!
