I was craving tteokbokki and seen this place on yelp so I decided to give it a try and I'm happy I did. So you do have to pay for parking but if you are there for less than 30 minutes it's free. Anything over 30 min will be a $1 every 30 which isn't bad. When you walk in the register is on your left with all the menu items and options they have. They also have a dine in option as well which I would like to try they were playing music the place was big and clean you can see everything so the setting was pretty cool nice ambiance more likely packed @ night. I ordered my food it was ready in about 15 mins and I absolutely loved it my fav part was the sausage and the broth was nice and thick and was kinda spicy but nothing I can't handle will be retuning again to try the corn dogs.

Quite a surprise! This restaurant, as of Sat 09/30/2023, was undergoing a soft opening. The name on my receipt says Tonka Hero Hot Pot yet the restaurant no longer has hot pot. Instead, there is a limited menu of delicious cupbap. The adjoining mochi donut shop is also part of this same restaurant so I had two menus enjoy.I have to offer applause for our server. She handled everything almost single handedly and made sure our needs were met.The Bulgogi, with fried egg, cupbap was delicious. Filling, tasty, lean, and with just the right amount of seasoning. The bowl included white rice, corn salad, sausage, stir-fried kimchi, bean spouts, and green onion. The corn salad was a treat. It was more of a creamy substance almost like potato salad but with a more buttery flavor. The Tofu (Vegan) cupbap was great and the tofu had a crisp texture that complimented the corn salad, lettuce, and kimchi. I was pleased that the kimchi had just the right amount of garlic.Now, the mochi donuts were perfection and just freshly baked. Since this is a soft opening, there were not many flavors available. Yet, the blueberry and cookies & creme were so tasty and looked quite pretty in their box. One flavor, had a powdered creme cheese like flavor and was my personal favorite.I look forward to when this restaurant expands to a full opening. Enjoy your visit!

I love the Mr. Monster side of this restaurant. I really like the Cheddar Dog but I skip the sugar on the outside.

They must be breeding mosquitoes in the back, because I was bitten at least 10 times. I am somewhat convinced they felt that customers enjoyed slurping soup while feeling stinging sensations all over their legs. Even though the service was slow or non existent, there was only one worker waiting the whole restaurant so I can't really blame her. I'm only left to conclude that the management of this entire restaurant is nothing short of catastrophic. Their food is passable. I wish them luck.

This place had so much potential when it first opened, but after a while they just got downhill. They got rid of some of the menu items online and when you go in person there is no workers inside...

Love love their hotpot! I tried Thai delight and Seoul Beef, Real great portion & quality! They also have a vegetable hotpot, I'd love to try!

Mosquitoes and flies everywhere, you can feel them on your legs when you dine in. The hot pot ingredients aren't fresh (beef was musty and the fish cake was slimy) and neither are the corn dog ingredients (mushy insides and the fry oil is old). Hot pot sauces also are really random and disjointed: ponzu, random gochujang sauce, and a Thai sweet chili sauce. I also got the Korean pear juice and the first sip was sour, so I had to take it back. They charge you 40 cents for extra sauce, including mustard or ketchup. We had 2 bites and left. We also had to insist on a refund to get it. Super unhappy with our experience but our server was very kind and empathetic.

Inauthentic hot pot imitating Korean, Japanese, and Chinese cuisine. They should focus on doing one style well rather than trying to do everything. The dipping sauces can also use a lot of work. The sauces available are a stale (browning around the edges) sesame paste, soy sauce, and chili garlic sauce.

BEST HOT POT place in Glendale! I had their 3rd Infantry Division. The soup, hams, veggies, and noodles are perfectly harmonized. 5 out of 5 with no doubt and I will be damn coming back again!!

This place is always closed even when the website says it should be open. They leave the mobile ordering on and then never fulfill it. And when you go there very very rarely is it open for business. Waiting for it to shut down

Showed up at 830 1st try and were turned away because it was "too late" for hot pot. Hostess informed us we needed to be there before 830, showed up the next day at 815 and received the same story. Asked to see the manager, no manager around only a cook that wouldn't come talk with us. Pretty disappointed, highly recommend going basically anywhere else.

THE WORST PLACE EVER! We found this hot pot place during the start of pandemic, and wanted to try it. We haven't had time to until last week, so we thought it would be perfect since it was cold and we had a friend in town. The closing time says 9:30pm, so we went at 8:40pm. They turned us away and said that we need to be here before 8:30pm to be seated. We decided to make another attempt the following night after work, and got there at 8:15pm. WE WERE TURNED AWAY FROM SERVICE!! I had explained to the host that we were told the night before that if we came before 8:30, that we would be seated. She went to the back to speak to someone, and came out to still tell us we could not dine in! I was so pissed!! We asked to speak to the manager, and he refused to come out!! She indicated that he said "he was too busy to come out". ARE YOU F****** KIDDING ME!?!? I have other hot pot places that I frequent, and they seat me even 15 minutes before closing! I will NEVER suggest this place. Horrible f****** service.
