“So good and server are very friendly“

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

“I ve been to Haidilao many times, and every visit feels like coming home. The staff are always warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The service is consistently excellent, and the atmosphere makes you feel relaxed and taken care of. The food is fresh and delicious every time. Haidilao never disappoints! Highly recommended.“

“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!“

“Rolling Boil is amazing! Great staff, fun atmosphere! Food is fantastic!“

“This place is absolutely amazing! The food is great and there are so many different options to choose from including beef rolls, fish fellet, and so mucu more. The service is also excellent as the waiter comes every few moments to check up on how you are doing. I would definetly recommend.“

“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.“

“It was good. I give it a 7/10. The sauces were fantastic, service was good, and restaurant was nice/clean. I didn’t like that there was no onion, no plain white rice 🍚, and only one type of noodle. That’s my honest review. I’d still go again.“

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

“Good food and good service“

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

“Xhotpot The Boiling House in Stanton City, California, is my new go-to spot for a fantastic shabu shabu experience!
First things first, that broth is on point! Whether you're into something classic like dashi or something with complexity like miso, both are winners. The flavors are on the money, and it's the kind of broth you want to savor till the last drop.
If you're a seafood lover, this place is a dream come true. The seafood is fresh to the max. The shrimp, crab, and scallops are so good you'll wish you ordered more. Quality matters, and here it's top-notch.
Now, let's talk about that beef. Wagyu heaven! The marbling on the beef is a sight to behold, and it's as tasty as it looks. All of the meats are super tender and flavorful. Dipping it into the broth just elevates the flavor!
The ambiance here is relaxed and cozy, making it great for casual dinners with friends or family. The staff is friendly and patient, ready to help you navigate the shabu experience if you're new to It.
All in all, The amazing broth, quality seafood, and super tasty beef make it a winner in my book. If you're in the mood for a delicious hotpot you got to give Xhotpot a try. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!“

“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.“

“The food was great. This would be a great place to take your date.“

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

“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!“

“Fantasic staff! They are always so friendly and helpful! They always remember us when we come in. The shabu is fantastic. The broth selections are wonderful and you can mix and match! Produce is fresh, lots of beers on tap. Only critisism is I wish they would change their chairs, they aren’t comfortable; the food is so good though it’s worth being uncomfortable!“

“Great service, delicious sushi. Friendly people . Great location. Would recommended and we will be back again.“

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

“Great food,great service,great prices. very good music just nothing but sendy vibes🤙. They explained everything very clear. I can not express how amazing this place and experience was. They even gave us complimentary ice cream after our meal. We will definitely be returning.“

“Boiling point was on point. Never a disappointing meal. The wait time for food was a little long, but worth the wait. I recommend the lamb. Parking is limited, so get here early. They take cash and card. Plenty of seating inside. Thank you for reading my review. Please follow me on google maps and check out the places I visit.“

“Favorite shabu place, and we keep coming back : ) Each plate comes in small, med, or large + fresh veggies + rice + ice cream at the end.

Their sauces are great, music is good, and has super friendly service. Place is clean with easy parking.“

“Went in today !! Gotta say the food was great .. had spicy beef soup and my wife had bulgogi and dumplings … was completely satisfied with this place !! Also we were the only 2 customers there .. which was shocking after having tasted the food … very delicious… how is this not a popular place ???“

“I think I found my new favorite Com Tam place. Good service, delicious Com Tam, the Tau Hu Ky was crunchy as it should be, clean seats and tables (and plenty of seating), clean restrooms, fresh modern interior design, spacious parking, selectable options with your Com Tam and very affordable, and open late! They have hot tea as well which is a must have for me. The bonus for me was the 3 types of chilis on each table. Outstanding!“

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

“Great service and good vibes.“

“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.“

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

“Grill it or boil it. Good combo“

“Went for the first time last night as we are visiting from Las Vegas. We absolutely loved it. The service from both the servers and owner were subpar. The food and drinks were to die for, especially the food. We got to enjoy karaoke singing from the other patrons. The owner was extremely accommodating towards my service dog. He had a few questions which is normal but he said he had never had one in his establishment before us. Will definitely be back when we are in town ?? Lots of love from us! Thank you for making it a special night.“

“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.“

“Delicious food, amazing teas. Can’t wait for the next visit. ✨“

“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.“

“Ngoc Suong Restaurant is my go-to when I’m missing my family’s cooking.

Everything here reminds me of home—from the vibrant canh chua (Vietnamese sour soup) loaded with fresh veggies and herbs, to the perfectly crispy bánh xèo paired with piles of greens, to the sautéed shrimp and noodles that hit all the right textures.“

“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).“

“My cousins brought me here to celebrate my 25th birthday. I love shabu, and I have yet to try this spot out.

Parking: They're located in a medium sized plaza, and there's plenty of free parking.

Ambiance/Environment: It's very clean inside. There's a decent amount of seating. We visited on a Thursday night, so it wasn't too busy.

Service: Our server was efficient. We didn't catch her name, but she was knowledgable about the menu when we asked questions. Throughput was under 15 min after ordering. After receiving our orders, our server checked on us a couple times.

Soup & meats: My bf and I ordered the 'specials for 2' and went with the shared brisket set. The soup was decent; wasn't too salty. My favorite part were the briskets. It came with a generous amount of briskets. The toppings were also fresh. This special included beers and desserts.“

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

“Thanks to them the first time i came in was able to have a thanksgiving meal when i had no food at home. I even brought my mom and daughter and they love it. Ever since i have been loving everything about this place, they know i like my seafood the spiciest. ? I need to go back soon, i miss you guys!?❤️

Parking: In a shopping area with plenty of surrounding parking available.“

“Very good service and good food ..“

“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.“
