Red Hot

Don't come if you want to dine in! They're currently still only doing takeout, however this place is fantastic if you want any hot pot ingredients. They sell delicious soup bases and quality meat/proteins for your homemade dishes! Their fatty beef/beef belly is one of my faves, only around 20 bucks for this giant tray of tender sliced beef. Another one of my favorites is the shrimp paste, it comes in a plastic sleeve and you can cut a corner and squeeze it directly into your hot pot. Do be warned, their English is limited. However, they have an easy to navigate website and you can order everything online for pick up, just show them your order on your phone (remember to screenshot the order). My personal favorite thing to do is to buy veg/tofu/noodles at 99 ranch, then walk over to Red Hot and get the protein and soup base. The meat here is much better than anything you can get at 99 ranch.

Very unfortunate, this place is take out only. When we arrived the place looked abandoned, we walked in and nobody was at the register so we had to walk away. I was able to get a few pictures of the menu which was posted in their counter.

I rarely give 1 star reviews but this take out is horrible! 5 stars? Really? We randomly decided to try this place since we were craving hot pot and other places near by won't pick up the phone. Horrible last min decision! FYI the yelp online order doesn't work. They will take the order but end up refunding you 30 mins later. Since we were there, we ordered a pot and paid separately - seafood mushroom soup with fatty beef which came out to be $30 including tax. You can see from the picture how little soup we got and how crappy and over cooked the food was! The ramen was super soggy. What real hot pot restaurant put ramen in with the soup for take out! Come on! You should know better! We literally got maybe a cup of soup? And the soup leaked into the bag and we had to savage the soup from the bag and still only had one cup! Shrimp was super rubbery from being so over cooked. The fatty beef was dry and did not taste fresh. We end up adding our own ramen and beef ball and fish ball in and still the pot was a mess with everything over cooked, soggy and rubbery! I can make a WAY better hot pot at home myself for half the price! Please avoid!

This place deserves 4 star in Rancho area. We ordered the spicy pot and the soup base is flavorful. Raw dishes are all vEry fresh. They do serve deep fried skewers which I must say is kinda disappointing. Stick with the HOT Pots! :)

terrible and not good they said no dine in and we wanted to eat there they didn't let us for no reason bad

We were in town to visit some friends before heading back to the Bay Area. Found this place via yelp and made reservation via the app as well. Located inside a mall, easy to find and plenty of parking. Great selections of soup base and hot pot items. we ordered sour tomato soup, spicy soup and mushroom base. All were excellent! The meats, seafood and vegetables were very fresh, thinly cut and reasonable portions. We also tried their fried skewers and I have to say I was impressed with it, sometime fried might put people off thinking it's not healthy but they must have some secret ways or ingredients they use which made the skewers taste like they were off the grill..... we were impressed. Overall a great experience dinning here at red hot. Price is reasonable and servers were very attentive and made some great suggestions on what to order. At one point she even told us we might have ordered too much for party of three. Don't forget to check in on yelp to get a free plate of beef! We will be back for sure!

Been wanting to try this place and finally decided to go. What a disappointment, walked in on a Tuesday around 11:30 and this place looked like a mess. Chairs stacked everywhere, tray carts right by the door and just a mess all around. Stood at the door wondering if anyone was going to come out and tell us what the deal was but nothing. Very disappointed, been to many hot pots spots and have never seen anything like this. No wonder all the reviews are from years ago and nothing good recently.

Finally find one hot pot:Clean,clear,good food.good quality,Good service.Really fair price for what you got!Top rank Hot pot in Rancho area In my mind!!Will be back again!

Super satisfied with my desire for spicy. The house special is the hot sour soup base. Will come again.

I guess them randomly closing is a trend. Walked in on a Sunday at 5pm & it was closed.
