Shancheng Lameizi- San Gabriel

Had Dinner here tonight with three guests. No wait at 8:30pm. We got soup bases 1/2 with Mild Spicy and Bone Broth. We ordered Fatty Beef, Lamb Shoulder, Fish, Cabbage, Tofu, Qual Eggs and Egg Fried Rice. I ate here over 5 years ago. The quality is up to the same standards. Parking: They have a private lot. Rating: 4 Stars

I enjoy coming here for lunch. We usually order the beef and the lamb shoulder. I get the spinach for my vegetable choice so we're not just eating meat. The service is decent. They greet you promptly as you enter and you order with a piece of paper. The ambiance is usually busy but lately it's not as crowded. Today there were only 3 other tables during the lunch rush while we were eating.

My new favorite hot pot place now that Wu Ming suddenly closed down! Been looking for a place that actually had delicious full flavorful broth. I think I finally found that place! The ingredients here are top notch and the portions they give are plentiful in my opinion. I got the beef and lamb meat combo and the vegetable combo with several other individual dishes and I and my eating partner were quite full. Another really great thing about the place is the sauce bar. It's pretty high quality sesame/peanut sauce and they have so many other options, I was just really happy with how my sauce turned out. I feel like you can just taste the difference here compared to like an AYCE hot pot place. The broth and quality of ingredients is on a different levelIf there are some changes they can make, I would ask them to add beef tendon and ramen noodles to the menuBut I look forward to coming back again!

Food was amazing . We both got mushroom and they even gave us a magazine of all the items to choose from that explain in detail what each hot pot item was. Service was quick and prompt and they were always cleaning . Ambiance was cool. Decore and seating was in rows and chairs and didn't feel crowded . Sauce bar was one of the best I've seen with an area for desert and snacks. 10/10 will come back again

We've come here many times and lately the service has really worsened. The food here is always great. The medium spicy soup based is our favorite, and this is our favorite spicy hot pot place. Yesterday afternoon we had to walk up to the counter area several times to ask for refills on water and soup. Our server almost never came by and we went at 2pm when it was not busy at all. And when the server eventually came after being asked, they seemed to have an attitude. We always say thank you to the server but they don't even acknowledge that, no you're welcome or even a nod. In the past the servers here used to make us feel welcomed, now it's like we're ruining their day by showing up. Overall the bad service has really soured the experience.

Love that you can waitlist online! The parking lot isn't that big unfortunately. My parents liked this place and wanted me to try it. They have a small buffet bar but not many options mostly just sauce items, chips, nuts, and dessert. I enjoyed my tomato soup, flavorful and hearty. Meat was nice too. I like the interior design of this place! It is not ayce but instead you order what you'd like. They have a lot of combo plates like tofu, meat, and veggies. Price is a little more expensive but I think it's worth it once in awhile! They have spicy soup options as well of you're into that.

I came here with friends for a late lunch, and while the restaurant wasn't busy, the overall experience was just average. The service was okay but nothing special. My biggest issue was with the water--they gave me two cups that tasted strange, almost like bleach. It wasn't until the third cup that it tasted right, which was a bit off-putting. As for the food, it was just okay--nothing stood out. Overall, it's not a place I'd rush back to, but it's decent if you're in the area and craving hot pot.

Solid hot pot place, comparable to China (not as spicy, but probably the best you can get in the US). I really liked their snack bar at this location! The coconut jelly was so good!

Shancheng Lameizi located near the corner of San Gabriel and Valley Blvd. offers authentic Szechuan hot pot. A converted burger fast food teriyaki place the interior is not very big but is popular. There is a multitude of veggie and protein offerings. Each of them ala carte so it can be pricey. The soup bases are good but the best accoutrement is their extensive sauce bar. Along with the sauce bar there are some desserts. Service is good. Parking is limited but in the evenings there is an empty bank lot right next door.

Authentic Szechuan hot pot. Has all the usual items and the tomato broth is pretty flavorful if you want a non-spicy option. They have a mini bar with all the sauces and sides, plus some tasty desserts. My fave from there was the coconut jelly which has a nice addition of crunchy flakes that adds a nice texture and flavor.Faves for the hot pot itself was the ribeye and shrimp paste, the latter of which was served by the staff as they scooped them into balls for the soup. I would avoid the beef balls because they were pretty tough for my liking. Also the rice noodles require a lot of cooking and were still pretty chewy after a while.
