Hot Pot Restaurants near La Mirada, CA

“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“

“Haidilao Hot Pot is an experience. The service is amazing (free snacks while you wait, super attentive staff), and the hot pot is fully customizable with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The hand-pulled noodle show is a fun bonus too. I like that you can customize your sauce and they have really good jelly for dessert.“

“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…“

“Nice quality good service“

“It’s been getting quite cold outside (for Californian standards), which is the perfect time for sukiyaki. We’ve had Yumiyaki on our radar for a while now, and since I just subscribed to a Chubby Plus membership, we figured that now was as good a time as any to give them a try. You get a choice between shabu shabu or sukiyaki broth, and of course, we chose the sukiyaki. I personally prefer sukiyaki to traditional hot pot due to the sweeter broth. If you like your broth less sweet, you can ask your server to add more dashi. We also opted for the diamond menu, which gives each person a slice of A5 Ribeye. Your server will grill this initial premium piece of meat for you in a classic yakisuki style. First, they will grease the grill with a cube of fat and sprinkle a light amount of salt. Then, they pour a shallow amount of sukiyaki broth and briefly swish the meat in it before having you dip it in a saucer of raw, beaten egg and enjoy the rich, silky, indulgent bite. It was delicious - comparable to when I had it in Kyoto and much better than when I had it at Niku X. The diamond tier is worth it for that one bite alone. Even though I’ve already experienced it, I would get it again on my next visit.

After this presentation, your server will fill up the pot with the rest of the sukiyaki broth, and the rest of the cooking is up to you. Diamond tier gives you unlimited access to the A5 Chuck Roll, which Gold tier only gets 1 piece of. It’s very rich and fatty, and to maximize your enjoyment for the night, you should have multiple trays of it, especially because each order of the A5 Chuck Roll only comes with 2 pieces. The Wagyu Brisket was good, but a little outshined by other meats on the menu. For people that prefer something more lean, the Full Blood M9+ Shoulder Cut (a new menu item, I believe)  is an excellent option.

In addition to beef, Yumiyaki also offers a selection of seafood dishes to complement your meal, The Diamond tier gives you a choice from their 4 specialty dishes. We all chose the Otoro bowl with caviar, chopped Otoro served over a small bed of rice and a dollop of caviar on top. The Otoro was decent. I’m not a huge fan of presenting Otoro chopped because I feel like it takes away from the texture. It was still enjoyable, but I’ve definitely had better. I think if you’re going to have it chopped, a touch of freshness from chives or something would’ve been nice. Classic nigiri is available in AYCE fashion. We stuck to the salmon and bluefin tuna and had no complaints there. Diamond tier gives you additional access to the wagyu nigiri with foie gras and wagyu nigiri with caviar. They were good, but I would’ve liked more caviar and foie gras on each piece. Raw scallops, among other seafood items, are available to everyone in the buffet area as well, and they were delicious after simmering in our broth (please don’t eat those raw).

Service, however, was a little rocky. For the most part, our server was nice, got our meat out quickly, and frequently checked up on us, but sometimes seemed absent minded. Sometimes when I talked to this person, I wasn’t sure if they were paying attention to me. They also forgot to apply my Chubby Plus discounts. I’m glad I double checked my receipt, because I paid a hefty price for that membership, and I would hope I got all the benefits from it. We also had to ask for some things multiple times, such as refills on eggs and the receipt. The restaurant is quite small and we were among the last guests of the night, so I don’t understand why the service was so splotchy even though the restaurant was not very busy.

Aside from the occasional rough patches, I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Yumiyaki and think that it is one of the better Chubby Group restaurants. I loved the yakisuki presentation and enjoyed the A5 Ribeye. The sukiyaki broth was so delicious. I would definitely come back to Yumiyaki and recommend it to my family and friends.“

“Food was decent, but I have had better Malatang places (YGF being one of them). What ended up feeling awkward was the service tip. I pick up my own food selftion (as the food is priced by the pound, based on how much I pick up) and place the orders myself at the counter, but the bill recommends tip range between 18% and 22%, after tax. I usually tip 18% or above in full service restaurants, but this one, I wasn’t so sure. Still ended up tipping as if it was a full service restaurant. Overall, four stars as it gets the job done, but food quality and services comes short of 5 stars.“

“Rolling Boil is amazing! Great staff, fun atmosphere! Food is fantastic!“

“I love it enjoy so much I wanna more“

“Thanks to my son in law we got to try a new spot. How Rowland Heights has changed since the 80’s. Just love the rich food scene. Be forewarned. Friday and Saturday nights the parking can be very challenging. Once seated service was quick. But here is how it works. You order your broth selection an some premium proteins online. The rest is pretty much self service from the various refrigerators. Seafood, beef tendon, beef with cilantro, gizzards, plenty of mushrooms, and veggies. You select what you want and take it back to your table and immerse in the broth. Feels very cafe style which I just enjoyed. Totally a find. I will be back.“

“The overall environment is clean and well-designed, and the self-serve sauce bar is also very tidy. The ingredients are very fresh—the sliced meats have beautiful marbling, the seafood is well-prepared with no fishy smell at all, and there’s a wide variety of fresh vegetables.

It’s currently $14.99/lb, and there’s a 12% opening discount, plus a free drink included, which honestly makes the value feel almost unbelievable… hotpot has never felt this affordable and stress-free.

We ordered the spicy broth and tomato bone broth. The moment they arrived, the aroma was incredible. The spicy broth was bold, hot, and flavorful, while the tomato broth was rich and comforting.

I really like this “small and refined” style of hotpot—no fighting for ingredients, no worrying about portion sizes. Every bite feels like your own pace, and the whole experience is both relaxing and satisfying.“

“Little Guys Hot Pot is my new favorite find! The skewers are fun, fresh, and incredibly varied, letting you try a bit of everything. The broths are packed with flavor, especially the spicy one. It's a cozy, lively spot with unbeatable value for money. I'll keep coming back!“

“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.“

“The buffet at Pichaiyuan offers an impressive variety of options, including a fresh selection of vegetables, seafood, meats, noodles, and a fully stocked sauce bar. There’s also a hot appetizer station featuring wings, chips, fried sesame balls, and more. Unlimited drinks are included as well, with choices like passion fruit juice, winter melon tea, and chrysanthemum tea.

For the broths, we chose the original bone soup and the hot and sour soup. The bone broth was rich and flavorful, but the hot and sour broth was definitely the standout.

We went with the top-tier AYCE Combo C, which includes premium cuts like Grassland lamb, beef tongue, and American Kobe Wagyu beef. It also comes with everything from Combos A and B, plus access to all the meat selections at the buffet. The premium meats were absolutely delicious and well worth the upgrade.

With great service, quality food, and affordable pricing, this is definitely a hot pot spot we’d happily return to.“

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

“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.“

“Tang Bar offers an incredible variety of soup bases for malatang. I tried the laksa soup base, a unique Singaporean/Malaysian coconut curry flavor that I haven't seen at other malatang spots. The selection is impressive, and there's even a dedicated sauce bar where you can customize your mix with garlic, green onions, regular onions, cilantro, chili peppers, and peanut sauce. The pricing is fair too, at roughly $14.99 per pound. I managed to get a lot of food for $20, though I did find their rice a bit pricey at $2.50 per bowl. Overall, everything else was excellent!“

“I highly recommend! I brought my 10 year old that's not vegan or vegetarian and he was upset until he tried the food. He loved everything that I ordered! Great friendly service! Great portions at a great price with amazing flavor! I will definitely be back! I highly recommend the lemongrass chicken and duck soup 🍲“

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

“this shabu-shabu place is amazing 😝 they offer a wide variety of soup base options, and soups I tried were flavorful and rich. the quality of the meat is fresh, tender, and really top-notch !! the employees are incredibly friendly and attentive, which made the whole dining experience even better. Highly recommended :)) 🤤“

“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.“

“The best Malatang in Los Angeles, especially the secret bone broth, with dipping sauces is even better than the soup base in some hot pot restaurants. I have eaten at all the restaurants by Zhang Liang and Yang Guofu, and they are not to my taste. This is the only one that I want to go back to because of its delicious flavor. I hope the boss keeps it going.“

“Got here a few minutes after they opened at 5pm and was seated very quickly. Our server was quick to bring our drinks and had an amazing memory when it came to our table ordering 5+ meats. He also kept coming back to the table to check on us and refilled our water countless times! The variety of sides and sauces at the buffet was wonderful and super fresh! The music playing in the backround was pleasant but not overly loud to the point of not being able to have a good conversation at the table. Will definitely be back!“

“Those who love hot pot have come to the right place! There are many soup bases to choose from. It's a buffet, so you can get meat, vegetables, and many other delicious seafood options there's ice cream and a wide variety of drinks to choose from, and the drinks are refillable.“

“service and the food was excellent our waitress Sherry bear was awesome“

“YGF Malatang in Artesia is basically a choose-your-own-adventure for people whose love language is soup. You grab a bowl, go a little feral in front of the ingredient wall, and emerge with the exact spicy, slurpable masterpiece your heart desires. The selection is dangerously good, with everything from fresh greens and noodles to all the savory add-ins that make you start rationalizing a second bowl before you’ve even paid. Once it all comes together, the broth is rich, deeply flavorful, and wonderfully tingly in that classic mala way that says, “yes, your lips are numb, and yes, you’re very happy about it.” On top of that, the place is clean, bright, and efficient, so the whole experience feels less like chaos and more like a very delicious personal victory!“

“Boiling point was on point. Never a disappointing meal. The wait time for food was a little long, but worth the wait. I recommend the lamb. Parking is limited, so get here early. They take cash and card. Plenty of seating inside. Thank you for reading my review. Please follow me on google maps and check out the places I visit.“

“Went in today !! Gotta say the food was great .. had spicy beef soup and my wife had bulgogi and dumplings … was completely satisfied with this place !! Also we were the only 2 customers there .. which was shocking after having tasted the food … very delicious… how is this not a popular place ???“

“Great food. Great service. It was a perfect dinner on a cold weather“

“red chili is my sunday spot, it’s cozy, flavorful, and consistently hits the mark. the stir-fried string beans are punchy and perfectly blistered, the pickled chili fish is sour and spicy in all the right ways, and the pork belly is so tender it barely holds together (in a good way). i also love ordering a few cold dishes to balance things out. the tripe with chili oil has this addictive chew and numbing heat.

nancy is my waitress every time and i adore her. she’s warm, fast, and somehow always knows exactly what i want, even when i don’t“

“Service was top notch tonight“

“Yeah!! I still remember being a bit disappointed the first time I went to the Century City location — it just didn’t feel that cute. But this new store has so much atmosphere! Even though the donuts are a bit sweet for me, it’s just really nice sitting here.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

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

“Great food great service highly recommend ten Shabu“

“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.“

“We are lucky that if you dine during the lunch time, the rice is free. Or else you need to order the rice separately. The rice portion is big, however, one of the rice bowl contains the VERY BOTTOM of the rice pot. (See my picture). I don't think that is the right and professional way to serve a customer with that portion of the rice. Therefore, that deducts a star for this restaurant.

The service is good and the atmosphere is standard.

In conclusion, the prices for this restaurant are a bit high in my opinion. I will ONLY come back if the 20% off discount continues.“

“The soup is very delicious and traditional. That’s a nice experience when I am homesick during my long term business trip here.“

“It ‘s so Yammy and health food!“

“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.“

“This was the first restaurant I. Isn't when I came to USA, almost 40 years ago, the I come back pregnant, my daughter later came pregnant as well, and now my granddaughter is 11 years old and we still coming, my hole family loves this place!!!!!“

“Very authentic Korean restaurant!!

We ordered the spicy braised short ribs, seafood onion pancake and beef soup. The spicy braised short ribs is so flavorful, it comes with radish and rice cake. The beef soup reminds you in Korea, no MSG! And the seafood onion pancake is huge, good to share. Their banchan also changes everyday!

The service is friendly and many old diners and family in the restaurant- that’s how you know it’s a legit place! There’s dinner rush so come early

Overall if you are looking for authentic Korean food this is the place!“

“Good stuff lunch or dinner“

“Yesterday, Jan. 17, 2022, at around 2:39 P.M., my wife and I had lunch. I highly commend the staff for following the health protocol of checking the proof of vaccination of their customers. We were approached by a young lady waitress who took our orders and after a while, we were served our lunch order. Then came the time we had to pay our lunch bill. We called her attention and she handed us the bill book but she left right away after pouring the leftover broth in the styrofoam containers but we still have some food to go but she left without finishing her job with us and leaving the book with our payment. We saw her by the door greeting new customers coming in and totally ignoring our presence and stood there nonchalantly as if we were invisible. She should have finished with us before attending to new customers. This is a “no-no” for a business place like this! Not all customers are honest and could have slipped out without paying their bill on a case like this. All I did was to stand up and hand our payment to another waiter who was around. This lady waitress did not totally come back to us. I would like to call the attention of Yuzu Shabu Management to address the and take action to this matter and to monitor this behavior of its staff. In any business, Customer satisfaction is of utmost importance. Thank you for your kind attention!“

“Bought frozen food from here 1st time. Great food. Hope they have more options in frozen items in the future. I will definitely buy more in the future. One suggestion: Vacuum seal bag must be sealed securely especially the soup base. My beef stew soup and chicken noodle bags are leaking 😕. Luckily I have ziplock bag on each item before I put in my freezer. Otherwise my refrigerator will be all wet after I defrost my item in my refrigerator.“

“One of the best Japanese Shabu Shabu restaurants in Los Angeles.“
