Nine Spices Hotpot

AWFUL My wife and I visited this restaurant while we were in Orlando. The fact that it was completely empty when we went in should have been our first sign something was wrong. This restaurant has subpar food, nothing to complain too much about. The service was also mediocre at best. We would have left this restaurant fine and just not have come back or suggested it to others. The reason it is truly terrible is the fact that my wife had an allergic reaction from the food here. When the owner was informed he refused any type of refund for her and then accused us of lying. Mr. Zheng was outrageously unreasonable and I hope no one he cares about that had allergies has to deal with what he put us through. Thankfully our bank was able to rectify the situation when he refused to.

The food was delicious and the waiter was helpful at first with cooking, later is up to you, but was kind. A little small but feel like home. Parking: It’s good.

This was recommended, but a surprise. All you can eat, many choices. Not being very familiar with hot pots, the broths were plentiful and there was plenty to eat from the many choices.

My family and I came to eat here after a long day at Universal, safe to say that this was one of the best hot pot restaurants I’ve ever tried. I’m usually picky with the broth flavors that some hot pot places offer, so I wasn’t expecting much, but the spicy soup base blew my expectations out of the water. It was extremely rich and savory. My favorite dishes that were passed down the conveyer belt were the dumplings and the wide potato noodles. The staff were also extremely friendly and attentive. Although us and another table weren’t finished eating by closing time, they still maintained the same level of excellent service and did not attempt to rush us. I definitely see myself coming to this restaurant more than once, so it’s a shame I live in California! However, whenever I come back to Orlando, I’m definitely coming back!

This place is awesome! My favorite hot pot restaurant. If you are looking for a great place to have a "dining experience" with some friends or family, this is a great choice!

Really good place, all the food is fresh! And the service was really good… see you next time!

Good food BUT don’t stay past 11:30pm or they charge $17! Despite their hours being until 12pm. Me and my family finished eating around 11:15pm. Workers stood at the front talking and waited to drop the check at 11:35pm which we thought odd because no one else was in the restaurant and they had cleaned everything up well before this point. I love this place because the food is great but this rule isn’t posted anywhere I could find. A surcharge for being in the establishment within business hours seems unreasonable. At this time I’m not sure I’ll be back. For the record we left at 11:40pm, again, well within posted business hours.

I have never left a review before in my life, but this place was amazing. The service was unbelievable. The spicy broth soup is the best and you can’t beat the price for all you can eat.

Love hot pot and Nine Spice is the best choice I've come across. This location is great! So helpful and attentive. A large variety of yummy options. I also really enjoy the Korean BBQ but didn't have it this time. The best parts to me is the revolving belt that passes by your table and the variety of condiments offered. Enjoy!

We discovered Nine Spices Hotpot through an online search for all-you-can-eat hotpot options in the area. While it isn’t a sprawling establishment, it exudes a cozy ambiance. Despite the moderate crowd, the conveyor belt system efficiently shuttles dishes around the dining area. However, depending on your seating arrangement, some coveted items might elude your grasp before they reach you. Consequently, we found ourselves placing orders directly with the waitstaff to secure our desired selections. Regrettably, the staffing levels appeared slightly inadequate, even though the restaurant wasn’t exceptionally busy. Notably, there’s an enticing option to enhance the experience by adding a grilling component, but we chose to forgo it this time. Ample parking spaces were available, which is always a plus. In terms of flavor and freshness, Nine Spices Hotpot delivers adequately for its price point. Overall, our dining experience was satisfactory.
