My second time ever having hot pot. It was SOOO good! SO much better than the first time I had it. As soon as you walk in you notice how beautifully decorated this place is. It's absolutely gorgeous with attention to detail everywhere. It's also extremely clean. Our server was Alec, he was incredibly attentive. We came around 1pm on a Sunday, so it was a very relaxed chill ambiance. The appetizer and sauce bar were all perfectly stocked up. I had the pork bone soup and my hubby had the fire spicy soup base. We both LOVED them! I would say I liked the pork bone soup a bit better, and also after adding compliments from the sauce bar. We tried the premium American wagyu beef (my absolutely favorite I ate mostly this!), the wagyu beef slices with egg, the New Zealand lamb shoulder, and the pork belly (my second favorite). Hubby said lamb was good. The wagyu beef with egg was okay, personally we preferred it without egg but it was still great to try! I tried just a tiny bit of the appetizers to save as much room as possible for the meats. I loved the deep fried bun with condensed milk, yummmm. We checked out the karaoke rooms on the way out. How cool!! We're definitely planning to come back and have fun with karaoke. Overall we're leaving here extremely impressed & satisfied. I can't wait to come back here for dinner & bring more friends!!!

A few things things this hot pot place has that many do not! 1) Egg noodles! I hope they keep this as it is my favorite noodles. They'll come around to keep filling your hot pot since these noodles tend to be heavier and stick to the bottom of the pot. 2) Fish sauce! This is the only hot pot place I know that has fish sauce as a condiment.3) Self serve drink4) Self serve appetizers - few options 5) Sauce bar6) Private room for party and karaoke!!! There is also Quan Oc too down the street.The owners are so sweet and welcoming. The place isn't as big as the other major hot pot spot. A bit more intimate. I love their options for soup base. Would definitely be coming back.

A great place for hot pot. They do individual pots and AYCE food and drink. There's a good variety things to cook and plenty of soup base to choose from. I'm pretty basic so I get the pork bone broth. Service is always great. Staff and owners are very friendly. Both times I've gone, it hadn't been super busy so everyone is extra attentive. There's a small parking lot in the back and I've never had any issues. I do wish there are dumplings available as most hotpot places in Sacramento have them. Also, soft serve or ice cream for dessert would be nice too!

The hostess/owner was really welcoming. She took our order and brought out our food. We had a rsvp for 6 for our bday dinners and it was set up on time when we arrived. I love punctual restaurants. They gave us cheesecakes for our birthdays which I thought was super sweet.There were so many options for the broth, which was awesome. I had the tom yum but my friends had the coconut pork and regular house one. Everyone liked their broth. I didn't need any dipping sauce or anything with mine as it was spicy enough for my preference. The meat was delicious and nicely cut. We got the all beef cuts and loved the short rib Wagyu the best. The pork belly and lamb was also pretty tasty. The restaurant became packed after we arrived on a normal Tuesday evening. The servers were attentive and brought us meats quickly. I like the self serve bar for vegetables and noodles. I would definitely come back again.

Okay, first thing you would notice is the location is definitely not friendly. I would suggest you avoid going alone at night. Parking can be really hard around dinner time, so I would suggest to go earlier.The interior is pretty nice with pink/gold and white marble scheme. I know this is extra but the chopsticks are pretty high quality. It's not your typical wooden disposable chopsticks. You would agree with me . The place has 2 private rooms with Karaoke for reservation and about 10 tables. The self-serve fountain drink machine, topping bar, sauce bar, and hot snacks are a plus. They got variety of veggies, seafood, fishballs, noodles you can grab at your own convenience.My favorite thing about this place, aside from the chopsticks, is the broth. I have came here 4 times and have tried different broths. I have to say all of them are flavored perfectly. My favorite broth, however, is the Pork Bone Soup. You do not need to add anything else to it. They also have so many broth options, you would definitely find one you love. The meat is thinly sliced and well portioned. The onion pancake is very interesting. It's crispy and lightly seasoned. The handmade meatballs come out on a single spoon, and I thought that is really cute. My favorite meat is the Wagyu Beef Slices with Egg. The meat is tender and the egg added flavor.The only thing preventing me from giving them full rating is the lack of workers. I have been there a few times and all of those times, we have to wait to order more or find the waiter. They give you a paper menu to order, and kind of forget the next time to replace the menu. An electronic system would work much better for each table, so the process can be more efficient. The owner and staff are very friendly and I love that. But when things get busy, it is hard to cater with little amount of staff.Needless to say, it is still one of my favorite place for hotpot. I would definitely comeback and recommend the place to my friends. The food is worth it.

I love ayce so had to give this place a try. Came on an early weeknight so they were not busy. Once walked in, we were immediately greeted and seated. Told the staff it was our first time so they explained the process. They allowed 2 samples of soup broths per table. They do charge $5 if you want to change broth.We got Hong Kong style satay peanut and Vietnamese Pho for our broth. The pho broth didn't have the strong usual pho taste but it tasted pretty good overall. Appetizers, veggies, sides, sauces and drinks are all self serve. Meats and deep fried buns will be ordered through the servers. They were pretty good in refilling the food stations. Appetizers and sides all tasted really good. Those definitely filled me up lol. I did feel that they didn't have much veggies options. I liked the variety of noodles they offered. I enjoyed the egg noodles. It was good with my broth. Meats quality was good.Services were quick and attentive. They were all nice and friendly as well. The place is nice decorated, clean and bright. They offered 10% off the bill which was a plus. Overall, had a good experience here.

What a great addition to the Sacramento area AYCE hot pot scene! TL;DR: Vast broth options make them unique! Our favorite is the Pork Bone Broth. Decent meats and we love their veggie, noodle, and toppings bar. They also have self serve hot foods, sauce and beverages. The beverages are included in the price which is an added bonus! LOCATION/PARKING: They are located in a small shopping center on the corner of Stockton Blvd. and Riza Ave. They have a small lot behind the restaurant that you can reach when you turn into the Riza Ave, but it's pretty limited and gets full easily. ATMOSPHERE: Super cute modern and girly (lots of white, pink and gold themes). Good amount of seating inside and a self serve food area with lots of options. SERVICE: The servers are friendly and very helpful. They were very attentive and made good recommendations! FOOD: They have the most broth options from the AYCE places I've been to so far, which is really nice! If you want to switch broths, they will charge you $5 but I haven't needed to do that as I really like their pork broths. Another thing I should note was the refill for the broths. They gave us all the same basic broth when we asked to refill ours, despite us all having very different soups. Maybe it's because they all share the same pork base or they figured what was left in our pots was enough to get the original flavor, with concentration, but it didn't really work for those of us that just drank most of the soup. Their A5 Wagyu Brisket and Chuck are dinner only. The beef aorta and homemade meatballs are also dinner only. For the lunch options, I probably liked the Wagyu with Egg the most, because it had the best flavor and was tender. I wasn't really super wowed with any of the other meats but the kurobota pork and NZ lamb shoulder weren't bad. Overall, I'd say the meats are decent just not the star of the show. DRINKS: The self service beverage bar is also a nice perk. They have different Coke brand drinks, which includes iced tea and lemonade. PRICE: Their prices are pretty close to similar AYCE spots. Lunch is $25.99 for Adults and $15.99 for Kids 3-10 years old. Dinner is $35.99 for Adults and $18.99 for Kids 3-10.

We came here sunday for lunch and we were pleasantly surprised with our experience!We were seated quickly, and were surprised with how many things were included in the lunch menu. There was drinks, hot food, and a wide selection of fish balls, veggies, and seafood to add to your hot pot. There were also 16 different broths, and a small but good selection of meats. The price for lunch was 25.99 with a ten percent discount for their grand opening!They have a soda fountain, but we ran into some problems with it, some of the dispensers didn't fully work, but by the time we left they had it mostly sorted out.Now onto the food. We ordered several of the american wagyu beef and beef belly, which were of decent quality. We also had the kurobota pork, but felt like the beef both tasted better and were more worth. They seemed to be out of the appetizers when we showed up which was weird but they had some fries, chinese fried dough, and sesame balls so we were ok with it. I got the fiery hot and spicy soup base which had an ok kick, but I had to ask for more of their chili oil which they didn't make a fuss about. We also got the pork broth which was pretty standard, not too great but not bad either. Their sauce bar also had a good variety of things to add some flavor to the food and we really loved the fresh garlic, cilantro, and green onion.Overall everything was pretty decent and for the price point you can't really go wrong here. If they ironed out some of their problems, I can see this place sticking around for a long time. Maybe we will try out the dinner menu to see how good it can be.

The meat quality, ambience, and customer service were amazing. We got the pork bone soup and tomato soup, and mostly ordered A5 Wagyu brisket, A5 Wagyu ribeye, and Angus beef belly. However, I would say the man that served us made our experience more memorable. He was super kind and diligent. He apologized that there would be a wait for receiving our orders but they were given out at a reasonable amount of time, while also checking on us intermittently. We can tell they were really busy but he was doing a great job fulfilling orders. At the end of the night, he gave us a Valentine's special dessert that they couldn't serve except for the last 2 tables (we were there until closing) because they were super busy the whole day! This small gesture made our Valentine's Day feel so much more special. Definitely coming back!

We got pot a lot! This is the best place in the whole Sacramento region. Price and quality plus speed beat everyone else. It's much smaller and more intimate than Sea Pot. You get your food much faster without getting irritated.The owner is amazing and always here to make sure you experience is really good. They have a karaoke room that we have used for our business parties for my company. It's free to use always. Perfect for birthday parties.Meat quality and selection is the highlight. They actually have a really good soft bar because that's my make or break. No sauce bar, no thank you. Refillable soda station .You just can't beat this hot pot.
