| - All of the great reviews are legit. Booming spot has the best service I've ever received in a local Asian restaurant. The main guy is extremely attentive and friendly. When you sit down, they have traditional menus and also small Adroid tablets with pics of assorted dishes for your browsing pleasure. As soon as you order they take you over to the sauce bar, where you can mix a variety of about 7 different sauces, fresh cilantro, green onions, soy sauce, and vinegar to have your own personalized creation. Honestly, you really can't go wrong, no matter how you decide to mix your sauce because every option is delicious. They offer a spicy rating from 0 - 5 for your mini pot. I chose a 2, and probably will opt for a 3 next time. The 2 was a fairly mild spice level. Prices are approx $10-12 per mini pot. The mini pots arrived blazing fast, about 5-10 minutes. The first 3 people to order got theirs first (about 5 minutes after ordering), and about 5 minutes later the last 2 in the party were served. 2 members of our group had a little too much spice for their tastes, so the main guy came out and added a some more broth to their pots to neutralize the heat a bit. Each mini pot comes pre-cooked with a live flame under each pot, which you may adjust to maintain your preferred temperature.
Many other yelpers noted that it is quite small in there; it's small, but not as small as I was expecting. There is one large table immediately to the right when you enter that will seat 8 people. We came with a group of 5, so they gave us the large table. Otherwise, I think there are approx 10 other tables (all booths) that will seat groups of 4.
The food quality is delicious. I had the #11 pork marrow & potato bowl mini pot ($12). And I added on fresh mushrooms and noodles. We split the lamb skewers, which came with 3 skewers and came seasoned with really nice spice. If you plan to go, be warned that despite fast service, it does take a while to eat your hot pot. I felt as though I had been eating for a long time when I finished. I enjoyed every bit of it. Oh, and the purple rice is so yummy with a little bit of my custom dipping sauce mixed in. If it's a chilly evening, I highly recommend their housemade lemon, honey tea, which is so good - also offered chilled.
The location is a little tricky and easily missed. It is at Spring Mtn/Decatur intersection in a tiny strip shopping plaza behind Church's Chicken on Decatur. It's next door to a foot massage place that has a little sign out on the curb.
