“This is one of my favorite Mala Tang chain spots. I usually go to Chinese Mala Tang places in the San Gabriel Valley, so I was really surprised at how tasty this Korean-style Malatang is. It’s set up like a buffet — you pick your own ingredients from the bar, including different types of noodles. Everything is fresh, and they restock the bar often. They also have a self serve sauce station so you can mix your own perfect dipping sauce for your bowl.

I really love the potato noodles — they taste so cute and have that chewy boba like texture. The staff is super friendly, and it only takes about 10 minutes for them to cook your customized Malatang. They also have other dishes on the menu, and you should definitely try them. My favorite is the Guobaorou — crispy fried pork sirloin with a sweet and sour sauce. The flavor is very unique and totally different from the regular sweet & sour pork you see elsewhere. A must-try!

Quick tips:
Pixiu Mala Hongtang is on the 2nd floor inside The Source OC entertainment center. There is plenty of parking available. This place is very vegetarian friendly with lots of veggie options. Just note: the ingredient bar only has beef and lamb for meat selections.“

“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.“

“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“

“Worried to go there because of bad reviews. But we stayed there for few hours and it was great and very relaxing. Lounges around the pool are in good condition, clean. All resort was clean, no dirt or rubbish around. Quite and comfortable. The price was 20JD included a dinner. Buffet style, a lot of choices and very tasty. Beach is small but you don't need bigger in Dead sea. Showers on the beach and next to pools. Would recommend to go there. Don't understand these bad reviews. Everything was great.“

“Xhotpot The Boiling House in Stanton City, California, is my new go-to spot for a fantastic shabu shabu experience!
First things first, that broth is on point! Whether you're into something classic like dashi or something with complexity like miso, both are winners. The flavors are on the money, and it's the kind of broth you want to savor till the last drop.
If you're a seafood lover, this place is a dream come true. The seafood is fresh to the max. The shrimp, crab, and scallops are so good you'll wish you ordered more. Quality matters, and here it's top-notch.
Now, let's talk about that beef. Wagyu heaven! The marbling on the beef is a sight to behold, and it's as tasty as it looks. All of the meats are super tender and flavorful. Dipping it into the broth just elevates the flavor!
The ambiance here is relaxed and cozy, making it great for casual dinners with friends or family. The staff is friendly and patient, ready to help you navigate the shabu experience if you're new to It.
All in all, The amazing broth, quality seafood, and super tasty beef make it a winner in my book. If you're in the mood for a delicious hotpot you got to give Xhotpot a try. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!“

“Food is Great! Service is Great! Atmosphere is Great!! what more can you ask for! BEST SHABU IN ORANGE COUNTY!!“

“Good food and good service“

“I think I found my new favorite Com Tam place. Good service, delicious Com Tam, the Tau Hu Ky was crunchy as it should be, clean seats and tables (and plenty of seating), clean restrooms, fresh modern interior design, spacious parking, selectable options with your Com Tam and very affordable, and open late! They have hot tea as well which is a must have for me. The bonus for me was the 3 types of chilis on each table. Outstanding!“

“My favorite place to go whenever I'm craving hot pot nowadays! I'm not able to handle spice so I've only tried their Tomato broth, Chicken broth, and the extra mild version of the Beef Bone broth. But all 3 broths are delicious; the Tomato is sweet & tart without being too much of either, and both the Chicken and the Beef Bone are deeply flavorful without being either too watery & bland, nor too fatty & heavy. The selection of ingredients is nice as well, a good variety of tasty fish/meat balls, veggies, tofu's, and a surprisingly numerous offering of different proteins, including seafood, as well as various starches. Service has been pretty good thus far, every time I've been there, there were wait staff regularly coming by to check for water refills and napkins etc. I had to take a star off for Atmosphere though; there basically isn't any. But as long as the food stays as good as it is now, i could care less about the atmosphere to be honest.=P“

“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.“

“Great service and good vibes.“

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

“Service was top notch tonight“

“I’ve only had the Tom Yum and Tom Kha soup with shrimp. Both are really good, definitely worth a try if you work nearby. I only gave the place 4 stars because I haven’t tried much so can’t say it’s 5 star worthy.Staff are friendly and they can get those soups out in under 8 mins, perfect for a lunch break.The food hall itself is pretty boring and just a big room with chairs.“

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

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

“Their food is so good I've been coming here since I was a kid now I get to bring my children. Some items when you order you wait for them to be made fresh and the wait time isn't bad. The Boba teas are good my daughter loves the Taro flavor. It's affordable and they provide a generous amount of food.“

“Good stuff lunch or dinner“

“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!“

“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!“
