Hot Pot Restaurants near Fullerton, CA

“So does your policy of a minimum of 2 people eating extend to senior citizens who may not have anyone to dine with???? Shame on you for turning away a paying customer…“

“A favorite restaurant for our friends and family. Food is always consistently good and the atmosphere is fun!!!“

“This was actually my first time finding out that Haidilao has an all-you-can-eat option! We tried the $32.99 per person package, and the beef and lamb were both right up my alley—nicely marbled, with slices that were just the right thickness. Even though it’s a buffet, the portions definitely didn’t feel skimpy. I’m also a big fan of quail eggs and egg dumplings when I have hot pot, so with those added in, I was already more than satisfied.

It’s also a pretty stress-free option when dining with kids. The service was, as always, thoughtful and attentive. They prepared a kids’ meal, a magic wand, and a little balloon for my daughter . When I handed my phone to my kid to watch something, the server even brought over a phone stand without me asking.“

“This place is awesome! So accommodating with a nut allergy, friendly, and soooooo tasty!“

“Delicious pay-per-pound hot pot at The Source! The service was really good. Our waitress kept checking up on us and our kids. The restaurant is spacious and very clean. They have one area where you grab your bowl and load up with all the ingredients you'd like. They even have a scale for you to check the weight in case you are trying not to order too much. They basically have everything you would want at a pay-per-pound hot pot. Actually they have items I had never seen before. I didn't take a picture to type down the name but they were fun ingredients that even my kids loved.

Their sauce selection is decent too. The only thing they didn't have here was sacha sauce but this is a Korean style restaurant. I can't expect them to have it lol. Overall, definitely would come back the next time I'm at the Source!“

“My partner and I visited Sep 20 around 5:00pm. The worker at the front was nice and helped explain the different tiers since it was our first time. We were tabled shortly and “Jason” was our server. He was friendly, patient, and welcoming. We’re very thankful for him accommodating us during our visit.

The food was not bad, but the experience was great. Especially if you have a big group, I think the most attractive feature of Chubby Mart is how versatile it is. Everybody in your group will find the style of food they want. Whether it’s BBQ or hotpot, sushi, or a buffet style presentation; those options are available to you. Drinks are free/unlimited, they’ll be in a big fridge somewhere in the buffet area.

In my honest opinion, the experience and features they offer justifies the price.“

“Reservation was made through yelp and we were seated promptly. At the time I went, parking was okay but since it is shared with multiple businesses so it can possibly be packed. The restaurant was clean and decorated with a vibe.

The restaurant offers AYCE shabu meats and sushi. You can choose from two different option tiers (fyi it is more on the pricier side). Their Wagyu was tender and very flavorful and you can choose from a wide selection of nigiri and sashimi. Furthermore, there is also a serve it yourself bar with veggie, side dishes, sauces, curry, and drinks. At the end there are a few ice cream selections you can choose from. I always definitely go for the matcha!

Overall it was a nice experience. The staff members were friendly, very attentive, and made sure to check up on us to make sure if we needed anything.“

“I love it enjoy so much I wanna more“

“We were looking for a place to eat late into the night and found this on Google. Boy was it good!!!! It's all you can eat and they have different combos for anyone's budget. They were really nice and got us a table even though it was late but honestly we left stuff silly on all the tasty food. It's such a pretty location and the servers were helpful despite us ending our time a little after closing. We got the combo B and almost every meat we tried was a hit. They have so many options in broth, seafood, and veggies. Sidenote: I can't recommend the lemonade enough XD they also have a nice little punch card deal with a nice reward for when you hit 10 visits. We will be back for more in the future! Have patience the quality is worth it.“

“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!“

“The best malatang ive had in OC. Way better than the likes of ygf and other chain etc. Broth is super tasty and isn't drowned in msg. Also tons of option in toppings and broth. I recommend trying the tom kha. The price is a little more expensive than other spots but its worth it“

“This place doesn’t take reservations, and the line is always long! I waited almost two hours on a Saturday evening for a party of four. It was VERY loud inside - turns out they had an entertainer named Adam who would sing Chinese and English songs. You could pay $20 for a song request.

You order everything on the tablet. There is a call button on each table to get service. The skewers are good but tiny portions. What’s really good here is the chicken wing! I also really like their malatang and golden soup. The meat in the soups is fatty though.

Credit card accepted. Plenty of parking. Bathroom in the back.“

“The servers were really attentive and helpful with introducing us with the menu we chose the premium options and I don’t think I can go back the meats esp the special Wagyu and ribeye were really good not chewy at all plus the sushi was a hit I love it so much but I had to save room for the rest of the options they have !! They also got appetizers you can order through the tablet, beer on the tap, and mocktails overall good experience and the staff was able to hold down their busy restaurant while making sure everyone is being helped!“

“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.“

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

“The meats were pretty decent, the ponzu was properly made, plenty of chopped scallions, sufficient amount of fresh veggies including 茼蒿price was reasonable for AYCE, and the eating area was roomy and comfortable. We tried its house spicy base, which was a bit spicy but good and the clear bone broth.

We haven’t been to this plaza for a couple of years and seemed that after HMart opened its Chino location, this plaza has been quite empty.“

“I moved to other state 2 years ago and this restaurant is one of restaurants I really miss in LA. Every time I come back to LA I must have a dinner here. This restaurant never let me down. It is one of the most authentic Chongqing Hot Pot restaurants. The taste is great and the food material is fresh and quality. They are very generous to provide complimentary high quality snacks. They treat the customers thoughtfully and it is why they exist so long a time.“

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

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

“Service was top notch tonight“

“Good food and good service“

“Been coming here when i have big parties as theres something for everyone.

Walked in and we got seated right away! I did go around 3:00 pm, so it wasn’t peak timing, I’m sure it’ll be busy at night since it closes at 1:00 am.

I came for a birthday celebration so ordered extra meats! We got lamb + beef. They’re very generous with their plates so it is worth it. So many options here so i was happy that everyone in my party will have options to pick from.

Noodles - above the food selection to the left of the store. Look up and grab. Feel free to ask the staff if you cant reach it.

Food bar - vegetables, tofu, meats, mushrooms, seafoods! Lots of options.

Drinks - 3 drink options! Included! Their ice bucket is to the left of their drinks!

Sauces - included in your ayce!

Desserts - right of the drinks. Yes, they’re more asian desserts so keep that in mind.

Staff - very attentive. Even though this spot is ayce, they will still check on your soup level + fire.

If you want to take anything to go, they have a to go container for $10!

Parking - its a huge lot so you wont have problems finding parking“

“the variety of veggies and seafood made an amazing broth, then the addition of lamb, pork and beef made this meal even better.. soo good“

“Loved my experience at East Town hot pot!! It was my first time seeing a charcoal hot pot, and I loved that you could choose two types of soup for each pot! They have a really wide selection of proteins and veggies. I highly recommend the beef and lamb combo! It’s mostly beef options, but it gives you a good selection of their proteins! Also, save some room for dessert! They have fresh cut fruits, popcorn, and a soft serve machine!“

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

“Clean, friendly & attentive staff, lots of options for ingredients, good classic bone soup, tomato soup, mushroom soup but my favorite is the stir-fried spicy wok (麻辣香鍋)🌶️🌶️🌶️, so much that I’ve been coming here weekly.“

“Clean , good service , good food and I like the happy hour they have different free drinks everyday! ! I like Rowland Heights big way good 👍!!“

“First time here and it was great. We showed up around 830pm and they had a few items out but for the most part everything we wanted we were able to get. Service is quick and friendly. The food was delicious but it'll depend on the broth you pick. Tomato tasted great for a non spicy and the szechuan for a spicy one was great as well. Many other flavors to come back and try.“

“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!“

“This place is really good. We got the Bun bo hue, vermacelli hanoi, and broken rice plate. Prices are reasonable and the flavors are good. I liked the little char on their Viet meatballs. The portions are decent. The bun bo hue has really good flavor, not watery nor just salty. You can order right off the tablet for quick orders. This might be one of my new favorite places to go.“

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

“Jiaoxiangyuan is a new-style Sichuan restaurant. Its signature dish is the bullfrog double boiler. I invited the whole family to try it at Christmas. It was really good. Several dishes recommended by the restaurant manager were very delicious, and the family was full of praises. I stayed here. I made a good impression and will choose this restaurant next time I invite friends to dinner.“

“Memorable first time experience eating at a Mongolian restaurant. the hot pot experience was very unique & novel for me. I found the idea of selecting your uncooked proteins, carbs (e.g noodles) & vegetables, selecting your broth (up to 2) & then cooking them right at your table, very intriguing & different. The staff are very nice & we're ready to explain & walk me through the process as a first timer. The food is delicious & had a lot of variety to choose from for a very varied experience. Tried the all you can eat option but got a happy hour discount. Ambience & decor looked very niche & classy. Plenty of parking spots available to park. Reservations are required for groups but none required if you are a party of one. Plan to arrive 30 mins before closing time to get the best full experience.“

“I don’t even live in the area and every time I come to SoCal to visit my friend I insist that we visit this place. Their catfish is my favorite. I love the fresh vegetables that comes with it and of course the dipping sauce. I can never get enough and the prices are always reasonable!“

“Great restaurant if you care less about service. The foods are amazing but service is left much to be desired. Some, not all of the cashiers/server are always on their phone, forgetting orders and would give you that look as if you’re the problem when you reminded them about your missing item.“

“I live nearby and would like to support this Bar 100%. Staff and food quality and cleanliness are equally excellent. Have been going to this bar for more than 5YRs. Also, the location and the next-door wonderful restaurants are attractive to hang out.
This review is to suggest a few things that might attract more traffic: providing options of peanut-sauces (I loved the P. sauce from California Shabu Shabu but chose this Bar to support the business), installing the led-blinking light with a design for the interior wall and wrap around the bar. I believe few small additions would make the difference. Thanks for reading.“

“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 soup and side dishes. Large servings and servers are very nice😁“

“We had such a great experience at Chabu Harn! The food was incredibly fresh, and the meat was absolutely delicious. 😋

But the best part was definitely the service! It was our first time here, so we weren’t sure how to order. Our server was incredibly patient and took the time to explain everything to us. He was so friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout the whole meal.

Fresh food, delicious meat, and amazing service — what more could you ask for? We will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend! ❤“

“I’ve been here several times, and the quality has been consistently great. They have a wide variety of fresh ingredients, and everything tastes fresh. The soup base is rich and comforting, especially the beef bone broth. I also like that you can customize everything exactly how you want it. The restaurant is clean, service is quick, and it’s a great place whenever I’m craving malatang. Highly recommend!“

“Solely come to Brea mall for the undefeated combo of Tang bar and Chagee tea. It’s the best! Tang bar has a wide selection of veggies, meat, noodles, etc. my favorite will always be the enoki mushrooms. The ladies at the cashier are always great and the soup comes out fast. Love that they also have a complimentary ice cream freezer always a good selection.“

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

“I came by because of the special pricing on their Com Tam and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. The Suon, Cha and Nuoc Mam were superbly done. I haven't found this level of quality and expertise outside of VN so this was great. Their Bi is was somewhat off on the day of my visit because the pork skin was a bit sticky but the flavor was fine. They're doing a Com Tam special for $10 and $12 probably to bring in new customers, but I would probably pay $20 and save myself a trip to VN (ha ha). Will update my review when I have a chance to try their other food items.“

“My family and I live this place. The food is fresh and delightful. The only thing I would say in a different light is that I wish they had more staff. The service is good however, sometimes it takes a while for your server to cover to you due to understaffed. Other then that this place is one of our faves.“

“Solid spot for individual hot pot; portions are decent and broth has a nice kick without being too salty. I liked having my own little pot bubbling in front of me, felt cozy and kinda fun. Staff moved fast, everything came out pretty quick.“

“Good stuff lunch or dinner“

“We stopped in for dinner the other night. There is ample parking available in the parking lot. The restaurant is located off the beaten path but worth the discovery.

We came in for hot pot. Please note this is not an AYCE place. But the quality here will make you come back.

We got the pork tripe chicken broth. I could drink this all day. We got an assortment of vegetables. We got corn, various mushrooms, bamboo shoots, tofu, greens and water chestnuts. All so good and so fresh.

For proteins we got ribeye, beef tongue, and lamb. Everything was so fatty and flavorful. Such great quality meat.

We also got a few appetizers. The popcorn mushrooms are my new favorite. The mashed garlic cucumbers were crispy and delicious. They also have skewers and we got chicken hearts, which is a personal favorite. And we also got a beef tongue plate. So good and the Chili's brought the heat.

Such friendly service and delicious comfort food will make this a place to come back to again and again.“

“Been to this place a couple time. It's nice and quaint with really good service, and a welcoming atmosphere. The food is well worth the price in my opinion, tasting amazing and not having to wait much for it as well. So far it's the go too Korean Restaruant for my fiance and I. Would also recommend the Green Onion Pancake.“

“正宗台灣味～店家也很客氣“

“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.“
