" What a letdown! I expected much more from Hotpot Champ based on the reviews I had heard. The broth was bland, not the rich experience I was hoping for in a hotpot locale. Additionally, my service felt lacking; we waited ages for refills and help from our server. I might give this place another try, but this first experience was a letdown for sure. The decor was nice, though, which keeps the rating somewhat moderate. " (*Curated Review*)

" Hotpot is always a fun dining choice, and Hotpot Champ offers an engaging experience. I loved the overall decor of the place, which felt very inviting. The food was fresh, and the variety is noteworthy, including seasonal options. However, I do think some items could use more flavor, particularly the broth. Wait time for orders can be long, and I felt a bit neglected when service slowed down, especially since some tables around me were served faster. Despite these downsides, the fun atmosphere makes me consider returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" Hotpot Champ provides a unique atmosphere that welcomes diners. The various soup bases are decent, but I found that some lacked depth of flavor. Service was surprisingly quick despite the restaurant being busy. The cleanliness of the restaurant contributed positively to the experience. A decent hotpot spot but room for improvement! " (*Curated Review*)

" We decided to celebrate a friend's birthday at Hotpot Champ, and it turned out to be a memorable evening! The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us, even helping with cake arrangements. I loved the creativity with food presentation, especially the rotating meat wheel. The broth we chose was packed with flavor, making the entire meal a delight. A suggestion would be to improve the speed of service, as it took us quite a while to get our orders after the initial round. Nonetheless, I highly recommend this place for a group outing! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Hotpot Champ with high expectations based on recommendations. While the food was mostly good, the broth options proved disappointing and a bit bland. The variety is there, but I feel it’s missing bold flavors. Service was average, not particularly memorable. Hope they can enhance their flavor profiles in the future to better meet customer anticipations. " (*Curated Review*)

Our group opted for the spicy broth, and it immediately became the favorite part of our meal! The staff were helpful in guiding us through their extensive menu. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for delicious and authentic hotpot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Finding a hotpot place that resonates with my taste buds can be tricky! Hotpot Champ turned out to be a promising spot. All the food was quite fresh and the variety was impressive. While I didn’t love the flavors of all the broth options, the overall experience was pleasant, especially given the inviting atmosphere. Will be back to try more items! " (*Curated Review*)
