Hot Pot Restaurants near Glendale, CA

“Joon Shabu Restaurant is a hidden gem! Their lunch special is an amazing value, offering high-quality ingredients at an affordable price. We opted for the Large lunch combo. The service is top-notch - our server was attentive and friendly.

The meat is sliced thinly to perfection, and the variety of options is great. We loved being able to customize the broth to our taste, which added to the overall experience. The restaurant has plenty of seating, making it easy to get a table even on busy days.

Overall, Joon Shabu Restaurant is a must-try for Shabu lovers. The combination of delicious food, excellent service, and generous portions makes it a standout in the area. We'll definitely be back!“

“Interesting experience. Might be our new hotpot place to go. The restaurant look great. Love the Japanese fast food concept. Not sure about the Japanese pop music, bit didn't bother us. Servers very nice and attentive but didn't have same taste (recomendations). We ordered the spicy tonkatsu and the another 3rd infantry division spicy soup, and the octopus balls. The food is great. Love the individual hotpot. Yet, I prefer more traditional hotpot without hotdogs, cheese, and spam. I will never order that 3rd infantry division soup, LoL. But definitely the tonkotsu one. I recomend this place.“

“New Korean food“

“Good quality of meat. Very nice service. You could enjoy little desert afterward“

“If you’re craving legit Sichuan hotpot, Qing YaoMei is the place to go. The broth is rich, spicy, and packed with flavor – just like in Chengdu! The beef tripe, duck blood, and handmade shrimp paste were all super fresh. Bonus points for the amazing dipping sauce bar and cozy atmosphere. 10/10!“

“My daughter is 10 years old. She loves to eat here, the food in the soup taste so good, and the soup is very yummy to drink too. She likes to eat inside of the store. She really enjoyed there. In this store, parents will never worry about kids are too picky for food, because they likes everything there 😄，and we got gift cards there too, would like to share this good neighborhood restaurant with our friends“

“The malatang itself is very delicious. It's not too greasy, and it's just delicious and tingly. It seems to be made well.But I always order it as Extra Spicy, but the person taking my order puts it in Spicy, so it tastes spicy. I wonder if he did it on purpose, but he says that every time I go... It's already happened 3 times. Even though he always emphasizes that it's Extra, it says Spicy. One time, it tasted spicy. I asked for more because I didn't have enough, so they cooked it again.“

“It was delicious 😋 you create your own spicy soup. I’m very satisfied! Prices are good too“

“We tried the three flavor broth hot pot, where you can choose three flavors. I like the mushroom broth, my wife likes the spicy Mala pot, and our child likes the tomato pot. This way, all three of us can enjoy our preferred flavors in the same pot. The lamb slices were thick and substantial; one plate was enough for us to enjoy. The restaurant's ambiance was great, with a pleasant atmosphere. The only thing was that the music was a bit monotonous; I listened to Blackpink all evening.“

“If you’re looking for a dry hot pot place, you should check this place out. It’s very tasty, and I’ve been coming back many times. They also close very late, so you can get late-night snacks here to go. Valet parking only for $5 within 1 hour.“

“Enjoyable food and service was quick.
Chicken popcorn is a must try.
Sichuan hotpot - all the items and soup tasted great. Allowed customizations requests as well.

The drink menu is unique, perfect for a pre party punch up.“

“No matter where you go, there aren't many places as delicious as this restaurant. I visit here 3-4 times a week when I have time. They also remember their customers well. They keep the items that customers leave behind and return them when they come back. I highly recommend them.“

“The plant based kaiseki was amazing. Beautifully presented, deliciously seasoned, and well portioned. The hot pot was the biggest of all courses and it was so much food! The black sesame ice cream was surprisingly delicious.

Vegetarian options: The 7 course plant based kaiseki was amazing

Dietary restrictions: Dietary restrictions was the very first question asked!“

“This place is cheap and perfect for people who love hot pot toppings and dipping sauces. The broth was $14, and you get to choose two different types. The dipping sauce is $1.90 (self-service), and it’s 40 cents per stick for the toppings. They also offer colored trays with various options, including meat and veggies, at different prices.

To be honest, the meat isn’t the best quality, but personally, I’m more into dipping my toppings in the sauce. Their broth, though, was insanely good!
Here are my bills, if I didn't get so much tray that I won't finished it at all, the price would be so cheap!!!“

“The service, the food, the environment and the kindness and efficiency of our server tonight! 😋👍“

“The restaurant is such a good vibe. It brings the true Korean culture out within the restaurant and the food. I really enjoyed every single bite. I took eating here at this restaurant. I recommend to everyone that lives in Los Angeles or anyone coming to visit Los Angeles if they want to experience Korean culture in LA.“

“Got the kimchi dumpling hotpot with vermicelli noodles, and it was really good. It comes with kimchi, pork dumplings, beef brisket, rice cakes, imitation crab, shrimp, dish cake, and cabbage. I think a few more things, but you can refer to the menu for the for the full list. We ordered through the QR code menu, and it came relatively fast. It looked like you can also order from a server with an iPad as well, but you would have to wave them down since QR code is the default. Overall, it was a pretty good experience with lots of food. The lunch menu also comes with a choice of green tea or black tea! Would definitely recommend for hotpot.“

“It is honestly pretty avg quality for Malatang hotpot as in pretty solid. But, the price alone being more than most comparable places makes it a "it's fine" in my book (my friends and is bowl alone easily ended up being $30-39 each). However their pork was the crispiest juiciest thing I've tasted in a while and although it was also super expensive, it made the experience. I would literally come back for the pork side alone. Valet parking $3 which sucks. All in all, it sits squarely in the it's fine tier but the pork by itself is A+“

“We recently embarked on a three-week west coast “foodie” vacation, spanning five states and six major cities. Along the way, we dined at everything from Michelin-starred establishments to small mom-and-pop restaurants. By the end of our trip, everyone in our group unanimously agreed that our experience at Tensho was one of the absolute highlights.

From the warm hospitality and the evident pride in food preparation to the impeccable service and outstanding flavors, everything about our visit was memorable. We left the restaurant on a true “food high,” feeling as though if the entire world could experience what we just had, it might inspire world peace.

Be sure to order the wagyu—it’s an absolute must and a true indulgence!“

“The food tastes nice, the sauces are the best!
The place is pleasant, and the service is professional. My favorite place for late dinner or lunch.

*I wish the meal looked great and beautiful like the graphic photos in the menu and posters.

In general, I always have had great experiences here in terms of service and taste of the food and drink.“

“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“

“The ambiance was sleek and inviting, creating a truly enjoyable atmosphere. The staff members were exceptionally attentive, ensuring that our experience was seamless and pleasant, with service that was impressively fast. I am definitely looking forward to returning to explore the menu and try the food. Thank you for a wonderful experience!“

“Absolutely love Nabemono Shabu Shabu. We were finally able to enjoy a dine in experience, and thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful space and great service. I highly recommend their sukiyaki and spicy creamy pork bone broth. Absolutely superb with their ramen, fresh veggies and sauces (ponzu and sesame). Can’t wait to go back to enjoy their cold noodles! Yum!“

“Staff is so nice and always ready to help.“

“Visited Ten Seconds Yunnan Rice Noodle for the first time this weekend and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The restaurant is located in the plaza on the corner of Atlantic and Garvey, with plenty of parking.

The menu is simple and straight forward. You start by choosing the desired soup base (bone broth, tomato, hot & sour, spicy) and then the protein offered under your desired soup base. If you wish to order additional toppings; there is a list of add-on you can pick from. The restaurant gives you the option to order using the QR code taped on the table or with the staff member. Soon after placing the order, they bring out the toppings to the dish, which consists of your desired meat, lettuce, generous portion of rice noodles, tofu, ham, green onion, seaweed, wood ear mushroom, corn, egg, etc. Lastly the soup base is served and you add the add all the toppings to your soup.

I ordered the tomato soup with sliced brisket; love the strong tomato flavor in the broth. If you are a tomato lover, this is the soup base to order.

Will definitely be coming back to try the other soup bases.“

“11am-5pm Daily Lunch Special with rice and soup. Our favorite simple Canto LUNCH SPECIAL restaurant, and just takeout Chinese restaurant overall!! Its not the best, but quality is decent, and they have the variety I like.

Depending on what you order, it can be oily, especially the dishes we ordered this time. This visit, it felt like Chinese fast food but better quality. Maybe it was a different chef today? Many places offer too much meat, become a carbo load place, or it's just more mainland China taste and dishes. This place is typical OG Canto lunch specials. They give alot of meat and veggies.

Lunch special prices:
1. Pan fried String Beans with Minced pork $12.99
3. Eggplant and Minced Pork with Garlic Sauce $12.99. Forgot this dish here is too oily and soggy for us.
29. Beef with Bitter Melon in Black Bean Sauce $14.99. We've been trying to get into the bitter melon life for better health.
32. Fish Filet with Black Bean Sauce $14.99.
57. Preserved Vegetable with Pork Intestine $15.99. Will order again because we love intestine. They give alot.
We ordered to a certain point where lobster was an additional deal for us...$30 lobster.
Lunch Special soup is always the typical light version. Rice is typical, nothing special, nothing bad.

This visit, we ordered pretty oily items. In previous visits we ordered different dishes. Lettuce and tofu, and shredded bamboo tofu fungus we're not for us last time. We're not into sweet and sour dishes, sweet, spare ribs but we have tried it here; it's not for us but good for those who usually like those dishes. I'll probably order the house special dish (lotus, sausage, fungus), seafood crispy chow mein, crispy intestine, walnut shrimp, jelly fish again.

I'm not a fan of the new popular fad of Canto breakfast specials around 626 SGV. My mom loves deals and loves lunch special...but I think her social circle has changed (with age too) to breakfast special.

We also order (full price) takeout too.“

“The house noodle is the thing to order here. Food is solid. The lady owner speaks Mandarin with a hint of a dialect that I can't identify.

Parking is in the back of the restaurant. The entrance doesn't face the street anyway. When you enter, there's a bunch of big tables that seem to be outdoors, but there's a high covering. Inside there is more seating.

When I went up to pay with credit card at the register, I noticed all the board games on the shelves. They had quite a collection.

Come here for solid numbing spicy noodle soup!“

“This place pretty much has it all from snacks, drinks, ramen, and rice plates. They offer French fries, popcorn chicken, Kung pao chicken, teas, Boba slushies with egg pudding, caramel and black sugar varieties, and aloe vera bits. I was very surprised at the variety they offered. They offer points for purchases. After about $40 of purchasing, they offered $6.50 of free food the next time I came.“

“Jing-gee Skhan is there specialty. I only come here for this. Save room for congee at the end.“

“It ‘s so Yammy and health food!“

“pineapple bun curry fish balls pork fried rice honey ribs Great food, prices, and service.“

“Craving Asian BBQ but don't really want to over-pay and under-eat? This is the spot for you! This Taiwanese BBQ is a self service spot. Get your chunky butt up and pull plates of meat, veggies, desserts from the freezer! Don't forget the butter!

The unlimited rice, porridge and soup helps fill what the meats don't.

The meat here is pretty basic. It's thin cuts of maranaded beef, pork, chicken, lamb, etc. Not the highest quality, but you're paying $4.99 or so per plate. Whether you grill or hotpot, you're charged for what you grab.

They have happy hours here too where you save like 15% or so! Definitely some cheap BBQ eats. Great for groups. Very interactive without overeating and without breaking the bank.

I went today with my senior parents of (group of 3) and our total was $41 after tax. Insane in 2025! If you want to go ham on the protein, maybe do a AYCE KBBQ.

My only complaint is everything is a but sticky from the bbq smoke. Definitely wear some clothes that are ready for the wash. Not a first date place. More like a go in your PJs as a fun date night after the fact. Cheers.“

“First time trying this food in general, it was good. Servers always coming around. All in all a good experience.

Vegetarian options: They do have veggies and rice cakes but the I mainly saw meat

Parking: It is in a plaza with apartments as well so parking depending on the time may be hard to find, and they do have some that are 60 minutes

Wheelchair accessibility: It does have access for wheelchairs there are no second floors except for Burlington but I do recall seeing ramps“

“I am not sure why this restaurant doesn't get better ratings. Let me explain - I am a Singaporean Chinese in my 30s and this is by far one of the best Chinese food I've eaten in my life. My husband and I got the sour cabbage/sauerkraut with beef noodles, chilli oil pork wontons and pot stickers through Uber Eats and we honestly didn't expect much.

Surprisingly, the dumplings were very juicy and meaty!! Usually, Chinese restaurants would just serve vinegar on the side for the pot stickers but our dipping sauce was quite different - besides vinegar, there were also garlic bits and what I might suspect was sour plum juice? The chilli oil pork wontons were also not too spicy or acidic, but full-bodied and not overwhelming.

As for the beef noodles, the soup was just perfect on a (not too cold) winter night. Again, it was not overly sour to stomach and had a nice well-rounded flavour. Though the noodles were slightly soggy from the delivery, my husband and I didn't mind it too much because we were busy downing the delicious soup. It probably would have been better if we ate at the shop itself with everything piping hot!

What a way to end my last night in LA! Great food with American-sized portions with Chinese flavour intensity!!! My husband even said that he would drive one full hour for this.“

“On the 3rd floor above Kinokuniya in Little Tokyo. This cozy restaurant serves shabu shabu and kushiyaki with options of beef, chicken, pork, and seafood. Different dipping sauce for each type of food and served with miso soup and rice. You have the option of ordering half size, full size, or all you can eat.“

“I’ve eaten here about 5 times now and easily is one of my favorite places to eat in LA! They offer all you can eat shabu for affordable prices in comparison to many other places, it’s about $28 a person but the selections are good and completely satisying, and even include sushi. The veggie/buffet bar also has delicious things, plus tasty sauces to go with your food. If you ever go do not fail to get the tom yum broth and sukiyaki sauce for your meats! It is insanely delicious and flavorful. Atmosphere is quiet and relaxing too :) Thank you Shabushi for the great service and eats!“
