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“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“Not the best aesthetically but the food was fire! Which is always the case when you see an ethnic restaurant crowded with said ethnicity. I believe my wife and I we're the only non-Asians there. Even a monk was there eating with a group, confirming their adherence to non-animal product. You can see him smiling enjoying himself in my picture of the storefront. The pictures of the food don't look great either, but it was all AMAZING and full of flavor and deliciousness! I was literally feeling happiness while eating. LOL We loved the fried fish with ginger (ginger sauce in a side bowl so good make you slap your mama and kick an infant), lemongrass chicken, and the veggie fried rice in that order. But it was all so, so good. Also enjoyed the lemon soda. Was a bit too much sugar but I think it was intentional, as you have to continue to add Pellegrino water as you drink it down in the glass. And the food came with complimentary soup and a sweet corn dessert that was surprisingly delicious to me because I'm not a big fan of coconut milk, but it was in just the right proportion! Our server, younger with unique glasses, was really cool and friendly too. Not that often you get a eating experience that hits on every level like this. Can't wait to go back and try other items!“

“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“

“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“

“Absolutely amazing Spicy Dry Pot! The ingredients were super fresh and the flavor was rich, bold, and perfectly spicy. They currently have a great promo—12% off for first-timers plus a FREE drink of your choice! Awesome value for money. The staff was super friendly and the service was quick. Definitely my new go-to spot. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Service was top notch tonight“

“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“

“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!“

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

“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 👍!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Food: Grabbed a modest amount of fixings (i.e., veggies, seafood, meats, etc.) for my soup, which totaled out to be ~$13. Not too shabby. Opted for the beef bone broth; however, there was a taste/smell to it, reminiscent of lamb (I only got beef), which was unexpected and a bit off-putting for me.

Service: Decent. While it isn't a standard sit-down restaurant, be prepared to be charged a gratuity for a party of six or more.

Ambiance: Casual. Pretty spacious and clean, including the ingredient + sauce bar.

Parking: Ample parking, but located in a relatively busy/ high-traffic plaza, so parking could take a minute, during peak hours.“

“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😁“

“This is my go to spot for meat! Esp love the thinly sliced beef and skewers here. Team is always friendly and helpful on choosing the right stuff. Highly recommend!“

“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 ???“

“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.“

“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! ❤“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Good stuff lunch or dinner“

“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.“

“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“

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

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

“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.“

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

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

“Bigggggg portions! Bring your stomach! We came at a random time and the auntie who works there was there to work! She's immediately recommend the dishes and the add-ons. Despite our language barrier, she quickly took our order and the food came out fast. We ordered their signature rice noodles with medium spicy level, which is perfect. Great place, chill vibe, spacious lounging area.“

“It ‘s so Yammy and health food!“

“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!!!!!“

“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.“

“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!“
