Hot Pot Heaven - Kailua

My boyfriend and I wanted to go hotpot for lunch after we got our tattoos together. We were hungry. My boyfriend got lots of seafood such as mussels, scallops, shrimp and I got the udon type noodles and he got veggies and we got pork belly and the meat. For the soup base we got the mushroom base. It comes in one big hot pot. The soup base was good. All the additional items were delicious..Service by the guy working here Wass excellent as he checked up on us a few times. I got iced water and strawberry guava juice to drink. It's a cute restaurant with a few tables inside. It wasn't busy and we got seated right away for lunch.Plenty of parking in front. Definitely worth checking out.

There's not many hot pot spots near Kailua, but luckily this place does it well. The meats are good cuts and the broths are flavorful. The sauce and topping bar has many options and even a small list of recommendations for your chosen meats/veggies. Service is very fast, friendly, and attentive. Overall this a nice casual restaurant for some food hot pot. The price point is a bit high (spent $89+ tip for 2 ppl) considering we stuck to broth, meat, veggies, and water. Although considering the food quality is higher than some ayce places, it's worth it. They also have a stamp card program for return customers. With such a convenient location, ample parking, friendly staff, and delicious food, we'll definitely continue to visit!

We parked along the side and went in through the front entrance. The restaurant is very clean and nicely organized! We sat at two tables to accommodate our large party of 7. The soups are very flavorful with a wide variety of sides and meat! Our server was amazing! I wish I would have caught her name! Their sauce counter had more selection than most places I've seen. Wonderful dinner to feed a large party! Definitely recommend this place!

The selection & customer service is superb ! Prices are high but you get what you pay for. Will come back again.

It was kind of on a lark that we ended up here. We had been to Book Ends to find some books for my wife to read while in Hawaii. We started looking at some other places, but they did not have sit down seating for a very late lunch. But this place did.I had had shabu shabu in Japan, but not the Vietnamese/Hawaiian version. We had to first pick our broth. We chose a Vietnamese sweet and sour, which turned out to be an excellent choice. Then we went to their coolers and picked shrimp, soba noodles, mushrooms, green spinach and various condiments. The only person working there explained the process and what best would accompany our choices. He was most helpful. You cook your food in the broth, hence the designation hot pot. It was really good! Not crowded, so we could take our time. We both really enjoyed this place and highly recommend it.

This place allows seating until 8:30 pm and stays serving food for a good while after so get in there! I consider this place a lucky find for me. I was hungry for protein and it smelled great so I went in. Their toro beef was particularly good, and the ribeye, shortrib, pork belly, and lamb was also good. They use plate colors for pricing and all the side dishes are arranged in the display fridges so you can select what you want and bring it to your table. There was a pleasing variety of vegetables, like bok choy and choy sum and shimeji and enoki mushrooms and way more. Also had the standard fish balls, tobiko balls, meat balls, and some other fun pre-sliced fish cuts and cooked beef on bone for boiling. The plethora of sauces like miso, black bean, two types of spicy sauce, ginger sauce, soy, a house sauce, and tons more were perfect for trying out. Oh yeah, their chicken broth and their beef broth were both hearty. Beef was like pho and the chicken was just very satisfying to drink. They had even fancier soup bases that I didn't get around to trying. Service was fast and responsive. Lovely people. This really hit the spot so I am extremely happy with dining here.

Hot pot heaven is perfect on a rainy day... or any day. Choice of broth, pick your ingredients... eat a lot or just a little. Love the homemade dumplings and the nice assortment of veggies, starches and meats. Kim is amazing! The restaurant is so nice and clean and all of the food is so delicious! Great selection of Fresh everything... first time here and it's a gotta return kind of experience.

I just came here for a visit with my family of five, and we all thoroughly enjoyed the food! This place is pay-per-plate (not all you can eat), and the total for our party of five ended up being around $85 before tip.We got the Thai Broth at level 5/10 spice and the Miso Broth (not spicy). Most of the party enjoyed the Thai Broth more, but the Miso is also great and preferable for people who do not want spice. Both broths already came with a few additions to the soup. For example, the miso had some tofu and seaweed in it.For meats, we enjoyed the ribeye more than the brisket, but both were good. We also ordered chicken breast and shrimp (comes whole and in the shell). We also got lots of yummy veggies and fresh noodles from the self-serve fridge.Honestly, I like this restaurant more than Shabuya at Ala Moana Mall. The broth here was rich and flavorful, the meats were good quality, and the restaurant had a small homely feel. Our server was very friendly and helped walk my parents through what to do since it was their first time at a hot pot restaurant. I look forward to returning in the future!

Lots of options for broth and what you want to put in your soup, tried the Japanese and Thai style broths and lots of mushrooms and veggies. Plenary of options, delicious, nice staff and affordable. And, it's BYO! Awesome.

Amazing. Clean and good quality ingredients! Loved that you could get multiple broths!
