Hot Pot Restaurants near Costa Mesa, CA

“My favorite Shabu place. Great selection of broths.“

“So happy they finally opened! Always great service! Amazing quality meat and fresh veggies!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had the best experience at Tabu Shabu! I sat out on the patio with my dog and it was absolutely perfect—comfortable, welcoming, and such a great vibe. I ordered a glass of wine and started with the cucumber appetizer and edamame, both super fresh and full of flavor. The highlight was the salmon bowl with rice…so delicious, perfectly cooked, and so satisfying. The service was friendly, the food came out quickly, and they made me (and my pup!) feel totally at home. I think everyone came out at some point to visit with me and my pup. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great food, a relaxing atmosphere, and a dog-friendly spot for a drink and apps (cant do hotpot outside, but still worth it).“

“Super friendly staff and very attentive. Wonderful selection of Japanese small plates which are perfect for sharing while having a beer - Asahi of course. Went with my servers’ recommendations which did not disappoint.“

“Haidilao Hot Pot was a very great place for dinner. The service was very quick, employees were patient and respectful. Our server Jacob asked to reopen their kitchen just to make us some dessert even though it was after hours. He also gave us a complimentary food option in case they weren't able to make the dessert for us. The service is unbelievably nice. I would come again for dinner.“

“01SEP2024 | Nice to Meet You Skewer Hot Pot is a chic hotpot restaurant. My first impression was that it was clean, with delicious food and attentive service. The prices are just right for the quality of the food and ingredients. I would give it a 10 out of 10, and we will definitely be coming back.“

“I recently tried Show Hotpot and was blown away by the quality of their broth!
The MalaTang here is genuinely the best I’ve had, it’s so rich and flavorful that, for the first time, I finished the entire bowl.
The atmosphere and service were also great, making the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish.
Highly recommend Show Hotpot for any hotpot lover, especially if you’re a fan of MalaTang!“

“Hatch made my entire experience five stars. He was personable, enthusiastic, and brought great energy to the table. His vibe genuinely elevated the meal and made the food taste even better. Outstanding service… exactly what great hospitality should feel like. Love the ambiance here, scaled to look classy but casual. Food selection is always restocked which is a plus. Don’t forget to finish off with their egg custard tart. Trust!“

“Good food and very friendly environment“

“My friend and I ate here on a Saturday afternoon. The weather was fair and there are options for indoor and outdoor dining. There are plenty of ingredients to choose from: bok choy, fish balls, imitation crab sticks, fish cakes, tofu, ramen and/or egg noodles. The ingredients look fresh and well-maintained. Once you are finished choosing your ingredients on a large bowl, the cashier will have it weighed and you'll choose your preferred broth on the menu. I opted for chicken broth and chose it to be not spicy. The total price varies per weight, but it's worth it especially if you're craving authentic hot-pot like soup. Once you finish paying, they'll lend you a buzzer and it will beep once your order is ready.

We only waited for less than 10 minutes, and I was impressed with the presentation and service. I added some green onions on top, right before eating it outside. The broth has an umami flavor, while the egg noodles and vegetables I chose were not overcooked. I also love the chewiness of the fish balls and tofu. I'll be back again if I'm craving some Fast Hot Pot by UC Irvine.“

“The hotpot I eat most often with friends is Lao Pier. The first time I ate flying pancakes was at Lao Pier. Now that I think about it, it still tastes delicious.“

“Good food and good service“

“very clean, staff is very nice, 100% recommend ! owner is also extremely kind and friendly :)“

“Great service and great quality meat, fresh crisp veggies.
The servers were very friendly and attentive; they helped make suggestions on ordering quantity, helped cook some meat, and made the dining experience enjoyable.
The new item we tried tonight was the thousand-year egg with fresh shrimp paste; the server came to the tableside, mixed it for us, and then helped cook it. We have always liked the fresh paste, and this new creation was quite interesting and tasted pretty delicious. For the soup base, we had the duo pot with bone soup and a mild spicy soup, but even with the mild, it was still too spicy for us :) Lesson learned.“

“Great Food and very friendly staff one of the best hot pot in Southern California. We highly recommend it to everyone who wants to try all you can eat hot pot.“

“Love visiting dPot unlimited when we are craving hot pot. They offer a great variety of broths, meats, appetizers and meat steamers (which consist of a square steamer basket filled with napa cabbage and choice of meat). The staff is always very attentive and the bar area is always fully stocked with sauces/condiments to prepare your dipping sauce, veggies, seafood and noodles. On top of the bar, they offer different types of packaged ramen. At the end of the meal, they offer a small cup of their delicious fruity slushie, which is very good to clean your palette and complete your meal.“

“Good ambiance. need to be early to get seated or call for reservation. love the place👍❤️“

“Oishi Shabu Shabu in Irvine is a great spot when you’re craving a comforting hot pot experience with plenty of choices. They offer a wide variety of meats and other proteins, so it’s easy to customize your meal exactly the way you like it. The broths are flavorful without feeling too heavy, and there’s something for everyone, whether you prefer something rich and savory or lighter and more refreshing.

One of the things that really sets Oishi apart is how fun the atmosphere is, especially for families. They use a few robot servers to bring items to the table, and it adds a playful touch that kids absolutely love. It keeps the experience entertaining while still being efficient and well-run.

Overall, Oishi Shabu Shabu is a solid choice for anyone looking for a casual, enjoyable meal with good food and a bit of novelty. Whether you’re going with kids, friends, or just stopping by for a comforting solo dinner, it’s an easy place to enjoy fresh ingredients, good flavors, and a laid-back vibe that makes you want to come back.“

“Đồ ăn Việt Nam chân thực, mang hương vị quê hương“

“Food is Great! Service is Great! Atmosphere is Great!! what more can you ask for! BEST SHABU IN ORANGE COUNTY!!“

“I absolutely love Kiazen Shabu! The food here is consistently amazing, with fresh ingredients and rich, flavorful broths that make every bite memorable. The owner and the entire team are incredibly friendly, always making you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. I especially appreciate how the owner often offers free alcohol to customers, adding that extra touch of hospitality. I first visited when they first opened a few years ago, and at that time, it wasn’t too busy. But with the incredible food, excellent service, and inviting atmosphere, it’s no surprise that Kiazen Shabu has become so popular. Now, it's always packed, so be prepared to wait, especially on weekends and during dinner hours – but trust me, it's worth it! I highly recommend trying most of their dishes; you won’t be disappointed. Kiazen Shabu is a must-visit for anyone who loves delicious food and top-notch service!“

“Fantastic shabu-shabu experience from start to finish!

Shabu Shabu Bar in Santa Ana is an absolute must for me when visiting Orange County. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is lively, clean, and modern, with a great counter setup that makes cooking your own meal fun and engaging.

The broths are rich and flavorful (tons of great options), and the meats are sliced perfectly, fresh, tender, and high quality. The vegetable platter is generous and colorful, the sauces and toppings let you customize every bite, and everything feels thoughtfully prepared. The gyoza were crispy and delicious, and the rice paired perfectly with the meal.

Service is friendly and attentive, even when the place is busy. They make sure you’re comfortable, explain the process if it’s your first time, and keep everything running smoothly.

And the cherry on top, free ice cream at the end! Such a nice touch to finish an already great meal.

Shabu Shabu Bar delivers every time. Highly recommend!“

“Was craving for com tam so stopped by here since it was close to where I was. Plenty of parking and clean too. Very nice simple decor, clean, spacious, airy and well kept inside. Plenty of TVs hung around with different channel of cooking or food traveling shown. You ordered on the tablet that they provided along with a menu in case you can do on the tablet. Easy order and quick turn around…the foods look delicious and tasty plus it comes with free veggie soup - a really small soup that you wonder why bother. All are good and tasty plus good portion. I was impressed or really hungry that I cleaned up the plate, except the soup (it was so so). Coffee was good, too much iced. Overall not bad at all.“

“So good and server are very friendly“

“If you're a pho lover, this place is a must visit. The broth is deep and savory, and the beef practically melts in your mouth. I also tried the beef hot pot, and it was packed with flavor and very satisfying. Clean space and fast, friendly service make it even better.“

“Great service and good vibes.“

“So happy they finally opened! Always great service! Amazing quality meat and fresh veggies!“

“This restaurant is a hidden gem. The food is great and their prices are very good too. Staff is very friendly and accommodating as well.“

“Super tasty 😋😋😋. Perfect for winter and cold rainy day.“

“I normally don’t enjoy shabu shabu, but I was surprised with how much I liked the the quality of the meats and the ambiance at Miyabi. Maybe I’ve just been cheating myself by not spending a little bit more for higher-quality shabu shabu. I’m a fan of their crispy garlic. Attentive and friendly service from Chris and Alyssa made for an excellent lunchtime dining experience.“

“Grill it or boil it. Good combo“

“Love this place. Very large & roomy & clean inside. The veggies are very fresh, especially the rau muon❗ I love the oc & the marinated meats for the grilled. The price for dinner AYCE for both the grill& the hotpot is very decent. Highly recommended.“

“Very family style, large portion and authentic Chinese food featuring various Chinese food options. The cold dishes are good choices.

You sit yourself, choose from the menu, and order from the front. They will deliver food for you. You may need to get your own utensils at very busy times.

Portion size may be too large for 2 people, so expect to get a take out box (or get your own box).“

“The food is amazing, service is on point! Great place to try some of Vietnam’s delicious food!“

“Great place for warmly party. Have dancing space. Hope they can have karaoke 🎤“

“Delicious food, Reasonable price, Good service“
