HOT C POT

Great little (not so little) hot pot restaurant. AYCE. Restaurant is clean. Has a decent sized waiting area, and outdoor dining. Restrooms are clean. There is a self serve sauce bar fully equipped with the hot pot sauce essentials. Everything is ordered through a tablet. Very convenient. Each pot can hold up to 4 different soup bases. There are a lot of options for soup. We were in a large group so we got 2 pots with 4 soups each - veggie, tonkatsu, chicken, water (x's 2), sukiyaki, and sichuan. Service was quick and efficient. $3 dollar beers all day. Food quality was excellent.

I'm always open to going around town to try to find the best AYCE places, and a new option for hot pot is always welcome. Located close by to fan favorite Shaniya known for having the cheapest prices in the county, this spot distinguishes itself with its many options for soup bases and ordering off a tablet so you're not at the mercy of the servers to get your food. For some that may be a feature in itself, even if it can be not the most engaging experience.As a solo diner, only being able to select two soups was a real bummer as I really was looking forward to trying more. I don't know if this is policy or if it was just how I was treated, as there's minimal data points in other reviews for the solo dining experience. Not great, but not the largest detractor.The options for lunch are limited, though that's to be expected, but it did feel like it got boring fast compared to other places. The vegetable selection is excellent however. Some reviews mentioned sparkling water being free but I didn't see that as an option.I might seem a little down based on this review and I'm admittedly a bit harsh, but I am looking forward to revisiting and potentially adding it to my regular rotation as it's located next to the amazing Sip.TIP: Try out the different soups!

For sure my favorite AYCE hot pot place, as there is usually very minimal wait for a table, the quality of the food is great, and the food comes out quickly. You order on the small iPad at each table, which is convenient because you can order as much as you want any time you want, and you don't have to wait for someone to come around and take your order. The broth selection is nice and you pick up to four. I usually get the mala, tonkatsu, dashi, and tom yum. The meat and veggie selection is nice, and the portions that come with each order is great. I also like how you can get as many quail eggs as you want. They also have a great sauce bar where you can make your own sauce. I also opt for the brisket sauce and put jalapeno and extra extra garlic in it. The only small nit-picks I have is that wish the sauce dishes were a little bigger and deeper. I also wish they put more than one set of ladles at each table, only because that would allow for more than one person to be serving themselves. I do end up asking an additional set of ladles from the staff, but since they don't come around too often due to the self-service nature of the place, it sometimes takes some time to ask them. But those are the only two small pieces of feedback. Overall, this is my favorite AYCE hot pot restaurant due to how quick we are able to be seated and served.

I came with a big party for dinner and there was no reservations needed. They have a sauce bar where you make your own sauce. Everything else you order on the kiosk. The stove kept turning off and we had to ask the employees to fix it a few times. Overall, the food was alright, meat didn't taste as fresh and it is filling since its AYCE.

We were greeted right away as we walked in and seated in patio area since we have our dog with us. Service was great and quick and they were helpful and friendly. Kudos to the staffs! We had to order as we go but food came quick and plentiful. They gave us a tablet to order our food and it was easy to use. The hot pot was divided into 4 sections and we chose 4 different flavor and had to share. I do miss the individual pot where we didn't have to share our broth but I wouldn't mind returning to this place on my visits to Huntington Beach area

This place was nothing short of fantastic. I was completely satisfied. My husband was satisfied. Our two children were satisfied and still there broth leftover without it ever being refilled which was magical! Overall a great experience and the sesame sauce is perfectly paired with chili oil, brisket and ponzu sauce! Can't wait to come back the place was comfortable and spacious, clean and as soon as you walk in you are greeted by the pleasant aroma of SOUP GALORE!

I was interested in this place because I love Shabu Shabu and my husband and I like trying new hot pot places! The best thing to me was the different broths available! I love the Tom Yum, Curry, and Tonkatsu broths. The extra spicy broth is just water and chilis which didn't make it spicy at all. You order on a tablet which meant the service was pretty bad and they forgot a lot of things we ordered. There's a sauce bar but it's pretty basic. The inside is really pretty and spacious though. The meats weren't great and really tough. The pork belly was so tough and not enjoyable. The mushrooms weren't great. The pancit noodles were weird. The bowls are very small and weird to eat out of. I wouldn't go back.

Solid 4/5Dinner Price at 31.99Ordered everything through the pad which was very simple. Double orders are allowed which is good in helping to conserve staff energy.Quality of Meats were very abundant and felt pretty full after two placed orders.Shrimps are huge*Dumpling are perfectly snack sized.I would definitely comeback as usually other places skimp out on portion control.Didn't get that feeling here during my visit.

First time here. Not bad. Employees/Staff are nice and quick to bring out your items/drinks. You order and choose through a tablet. Drinks are only $1, no refills. I usually only order the brisket, so it's all the same to me. I wish they had soft tofu and also the dashi to put in my ponzu sauce. I also wish they had bigger bowls for the sauces and your food. Bowls was smaller than kid size. I would probably come back again.

Love this place! It's all you can eat hot pot for about $30. Everyone gets their own soup base and you order everything from an iPad. The place is pretty big which is great because there is usually little to no wait. The orders come out pretty quickly so service is decent. I love the meat quality and the countless options for veggies, tofu, noodles, etc. It's a fantastic deal! The ambiance is lovely and there is also a sauce bar. Will come back soon!
