“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!“

“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!“

“I liked MLBB more than Nice to Meet You in Irvine. The soups are more flavorful and the skewers are much better. Only drawback is that there are less variety in hot pot ingredients, sliced meats, and side dishes (hot/cold). But overall for the promotion price of $20 for lunch, it’s really hard to beat!“

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

“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.“

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

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

“This place is so good! You grab a bowl & tongs when you walk in and add in everything you want into the bowl, then they weigh it and cook it for you. The selection is great, with plenty of vegetable options, noodles, fish cakes, seafood, and meat. The broths they have are so flavorful as well, and it makes for a really warming and filling meal. This place is a great deal, and I keep coming back week after week.“

“This is probably one of the best shabu shabu places around! Dinner was around $29 per person but unlike hai di lao or maybe happy sheep, the hot pots arnt in a single location, but rather your own pot in front! This makes it easier for those wanting something spicy broth to something light broth like my shoyu broth. They have 2 different meat menus, one with wagyu and one thats the standard meats. Either way, the standard menu still had really tender meats like the ribeye cuts and tenderloin! Some more filling options too included the beef belly and pork belly. Also at the buffet side, there are some nice sides such as takoyaki, gyoza, seaweed salad and oranges and fried rice. There are also vegetables and seafood to get as well! Service was friendly and easy to order extra meats and cleaning up the plates was done easily too by either robot waiter or custodians! Orders were delivered by robot waiters or handed to us by a waiter! They make good use by not programming a robot waiter to go to multiple tables at a time! The only disappointment was they did run out of some stuff such as smoothies and soju which almost consisted of the cocktail menu on the back... At least pepsi is $2 with unlimited refills? Overall it's nice to come back here if i was feeling spendy or treating out for an occasion here again! They seem to always have tables so capacity i hope isn't an issue!“

“Great foods and well done!“

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

“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!“

“I love this place. Very clean sitting area. The food always slaps. I love the variety of toppings here. Id recommend if you like authentic Chinese food. I don’t know much of the rest of their menu but the self serve malatang/hotpot is great. I’d recommend the beef bone soup. Mild is good spicy. They also have a self serve topping/sauce bar. The guy working there is really nice. They don’t speak super English well but still very kind and fast 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!“

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

“Great service,friendly staff the food was beyond comprehension it was like God blessed the meat himself along with the sushi it's as of the chef had the most soft and gentle hands on how delinquent the sushi was made this place is a must go 10 out of 10“

“Good food and good service“

“It was perfect timing for this Pho Hot Pot restaurant for our post spa/massage dinner! On this day, it did get much cooler in the evening, so hot pot was perfect! Our eyes definitely got hungry when we ordered this "Combo for 4" for just us 2, but it was the perfect opportunity to try different things! Thanks to our awesome server who was able to guide us through the menu, as noobs to the restaurant! Everything we tried was so delish and we had plenty to take home to share with our families! W“

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

“I came to Tabu Shabu on a Friday right before happy hour ended, and they were kind enough to still honor it—great service! This spot has been hyped a lot, and I’d say it’s worth the visit, especially with the happy hour discount. Without it, the prices are a bit on the higher side, but the quality makes up for it.

I ordered the lamb and beef, both of which were flavorful and satisfying. The highlight was definitely the service of turning my leftover hot pot into porridge—it made for a delicious and hearty late-night meal. It’s a lot of food, so you definitely get your fill.

Overall, a solid spot for hot pot if you’re looking for good quality and unique offerings. Definitely recommend catching happy hour if you can!“

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

“First time trying this place. Pork chop, fried chicken and egg roll were good and not unusual. The egg was different and very good. The bitter melon soup was really different, but I like bitter melon. Now, unless you know what bitter melon tastes like, I wouldn't recommend it for you.“

“great food and great service 👍“

“Great service and good vibes.“

“Absolutely love going here for a special dinner out. Not only is it my favorite place for shabu shabu, but they also have gluten free sauce options.

Kid-friendliness: My seven-year-old loves this place and I've been taking our kids since they were in strollers.“

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

“Ordered take-out. Bipimbap was ok, protein portion was small, maybe 4 tablespoons size. Likely will not order that again. However, the Budae Jjigae, had a nice (but not overly spicy broth) with ham, hot dog and spam. Would definitely order it again.“

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

“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.“

“Good food and good service“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Came in here a couple days ago, and it was a great visit! The wagyu selection as well as quality is superb, little more on the pricey side but 100% worth it. The service is top-notch, and the ambience is upscale but still relaxed, perfect for any occasion. The A5 wagyu is hands down the best, and the appetizers are great too. It’s the perfect spot for anyone who loves good food and great experiences. 10/10 would definitely come back! Highly recommend!“

“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.“
