Hot Pot Heaven

Hot Pot Heaven is located in Kapolei Shopping Center next to Pho & Company. The shopping center has lots of parking but does get busy during lunch/dinner rush and weekends. The interior is always very clean and there are lots of tables inside, able to accommodate to large parties. There is no waitlist, you just go in and tell them how many is in your party. I don't think we've ever had to wait long to be seated and when we get there everything is ready. This hot pot is a la carte ordering, not AYCE. This is more of a sharing style. The broths range from $6.99-10.99 and you can either do a split bowl with two broths or just one big pot - their most popular is the Thai but we usually get chicken and beef and add our dipping sauce to it. The sides (veg, starch, sides, etc.) all range from $3.89-$6.89 and they have two huge fridges full to choose from. Meats and seafood (pork belly, chicken, beef tongue, scallop, etc.) you can order from your server Their dipping sauces are complimentary and you can create your own or follow the recipes on the sign they have up! Everything is reasonably priced and their quality is great. They also have some cooked appetizers to choose from such as: pork and shrimp wontons, seafood gyoza, and spring rolls. Some of the meats and sides we love getting are the pork belly, chicken thigh, ground pork and shrimp meatballs, mochi dumplings (the wrapper is so chewy and addictive!), rice cakes and enoki mushrooms. There are endless options and something for everyone. The service has always been 10/10 and the owner, Bang is very personable and does his best to round on and talk to the customers. The server is great and is awesome about checking in on us, refilling and answering any questions we may have. They also do takeout, catering and you can even rent the place out. After your meal, they give complimentary Jin dui (deep fried sesame balls with red bean filling). Tip: if you go between 4-6PM it's happy hour and you get 15% off your bill. We definitely will be back again and again; thank you Hot Pot Heaven and staff for always great service and yummy food!

The Nghiem brothers have come up with a signature broth that is sure to impress and satisfy you. Filipino inspired broth that comes with String Beans, Tomatoes, and Eggplant. They call it Sinagang. The magical thing about this broth is that the flavor profile changes with whatever you put into it. Wonderful with Chicken, Pork, and especially Seafood. It's relatively new to the menu, you'll have to ask for it (it's a hidden Gem). Simply delicious! Perfect to warm your soul, especially during these cold nights. Our favorite was to add Seafood and a whole lot of veggies . Definitely a must try . Don't forget to ask for Sinagang!

Very attentive service as soon as you step in the doorway. Great place if you're watching your carbs since you select what you will eat.Lots of protein in the refrigerated cases as well as a variety of leafy greens.Hubs chose vegetable broth and I chose medium Thai. Next time I will select mild. You can add sauces and ingredients to add to your meal.Totally stuffed and glad we ate healthy. Many tables were occupied after 1 pm. Happy 4 th of July

Awesome service every time... even when they are busy they really try to help every one... definitely a go to every time i crave hot pot.

Perfect place when you're craving hot pot. We had the mushroom broth. It was delicious. came with lots of different mushrooms. There was a variety of proteins to choose from and all were reasonably priced. Fridge of fresh veggies and additional protein was fully stocked. Their sauce station probably had about 5 different house sauces and 5 different additional spices/sauces you can add to spice them up. Service was great. Greeted and seated right away. Staff was attentive. Ambiance is casual. Great for a group of friends or family. You also get a free dessert. Jin dui was just a perfect way to end a great meal.

Still our go to hot pot place! When we come in we are always warmly greeted . We love how welcoming the owners and staff are and how we always leave feeling full and satisfied.

First time at this hot pot restaurant, the place was quiet, being a Tuesday at 5.Server explained the process, pick your broth, meat, and vegetables. Price based on number of items and type.We chose 2 different broths to create our soup with. The Thai and beef broth, as you can see from photo there is a divider in bowl.It was interesting to create our own soup and place our items in it. We picked ribeye, noodles, bok choy and mushrooms.Both broth choices were were good with the beef being more like what we were use to. I took home what was left of Thai broth to create my own soup.The server was friendly and fast. We enjoyed our experience. The ambience was was tidy and clean.

No surprise why this place has 4.5 stars at the time I'm writing this and adding my 5 stars to the mix. Also, not sure if this is the same company that was near Pucks Alley in Manoa back when I was in college. That business shut down, so I hope this one doesn't because it sure gives me that personal nostalgia eating here.First off, this place is Vietnamese hot pot. I don't know about you, but I like knowing what kind of hotpot place a restaurant is because that usually determines the broth, sauces, and sides available, Like many other hotpot places you pick your broth, unlimited sauce bar, and fried appetizers to order Ala carte. This place isn't AYCE but instead you just pay by the plate color so I life being able to track how much I'm spending. You can order three different types of meat through the server and you can ask to double as well. Since I don't eat beef too much my husband and I usually order double pork and whatever beef he's feeling first and then he paces himself to different kinds of meet available. I personally love to eat a ton of vegetables when I do hot pot so I also appreciate all the vegetable options here and at a good price too. A dinner for two, depending on how hungry, could run you about $60 so definitely not an everyday dinner, but if I'm looking for hotpot in the area I'll crave to come here for good food and good memories.
