Food is great. Service is very good. Did not have to wait too long since it was lunch on a weekday.

Love Mokkoji!! Garden Grove, Costa Mesa, and Irvine are our top locations. The broth is rich and well flavored, the meats are fresh and well prepared, the vegetables are colorful and well organized. The sides add a nice touch to the meal without being overpowering. The staff is always welcoming and friendly.

Went to Mokkoji recently for a weekday lunch and we got there right before it opened at 11:30 am. I hadn't been there in probably at least 6 or 7 years, and when we used to go for dinner, it was always really crowded. But on a Tuesday, after the initial 4 or 5 parties went in at opening, the place was pretty empty. The two bar areas remained empty and there was plenty of seating available even as we left. Hopefully they do better during dinner. That being said, we had a great meal. Customer service was good. The food is good, albeit a little pricey (I got the 10-piece brisket for $27). I saw on their menu that they have the dinner for 2 starting around $79 I think. That comes with two alcohol drinks. But anyway, for our lunch, everything came out quickly and the brisket was tender. I didn't realize you could get unlimited rice, kale, Napa, and spinach veggies, so if you don't feel like breaking the bank, it's a good way to load up on veggies. The staff were all really attentive and the food is good, but prices are a little steep for what you get. I just like that they still stamp their name on the tofu.

Absolute terrible. So they told us to step outside and we were next in line. So we just left. Terrible customer service.

It was very good and a lot of fun. My first time and I can tell it takes a while to get the hang of it. I overcooked my veggies by putting too many in at the same time. The spicy broth didn't have much flavor and I liked my girlfriend's chicken broth much better. It would be nice to have a small slotted ladle to fish out the food because you can't see it while the broth is boiling and it's a bit challenging finding and fishing it out small pieces with chopsticks.

Awful !!!! Experience !!!!!!!!!!!The server's rudeness and eye-rolling attitude was surprised. especially when I questioned the unnecessarily large table arrangement on a cold, rainy day. The manager's response about the air circulation is bad , he said it doesn't matter where I seat. If you're in the mood for a good dining experience . I'd strongly advise looking elsewhere.This was an utterly infuriating and regrettable experience. Extremely rude, the restaurant needs more training for their attitude. I ate at different locations before . This is the first time here . I will never return !!!!!!

Extremely bad service, especially from the receptionist guy with long hair.Not suitable for families with kids: If you're a party of four with a one-year-old needing a high chair,- You have to input 5 people in the system or be prepared for lengthy waits (more than an hour)- There are only two tables for the 4+1 arrangement, forcing you to wait while looking at many empty tables- The guy with long hair might condescendingly say he'll make an exception this time but insists on entering 5 people next timeThe extended wait isn't because of stellar food but because they'd rather keep seats empty than serve customersTo add to the frustration, they even forgot one of our orders. I won't be returning after such a negative experience that turned our night into a horrible memory.
The best hot pot I know of. Staff is top notch, fast and friendly. They have tasty miso and have no issue with reasonable requests.

Not tasty at all—the pot and everything just don't align with my taste. It fails to enhance the flavor, and aside from the price, there's nothing else that makes it a good option. Despite having plenty of veggies and meat, the overall experience falls short of expectations.
