Hot Pot Restaurants in Los Angeles, CA

“Husband and I came to celebrate our anniversary and definitely worth the 1hr and a half drive .. service was amazing food was delicious . Will definitely be back .. we were treated with a delicious carrot cake and yummy treats .. recommend 100%“

“Good quality of meat. Very nice service. You could enjoy little desert afterward“

“Yummy hotpot from here hits the spot, especially for late-night study breaks. Broth leans sour and spicy in a good way, heavy flavor, kind of addictive, like you just keep fishing for another bite. Fair price for students, portions decent, tbh works for my broke student budget. Good for one-person meals, I just ordered, ate while watching lectures, and it stayed warm. Delivery came on time, nothing spilled, packaging simple but solid. Night snack go-to in this college area, especially for heavy-flavor lovers and international students missing that kind of taste.“

“Not regarding the food but I’ve been here before and I came in person today because online it said that it was open on Tuesday but when I arrived in person, the sign said it was closed. I’m disappointed because I drove so far and was craving hotpot.“

“Hidden gem alert near USC! 🔥 $17.99 for a personal hot pot that’s actually huge. Tried the Signature Beef and Tomato Beef pots, both packed with meat and veggies—comes with rice AND glass noodles, so you’ll definitely leave full.
The skeletons are so good, especially the cumin lamb and charred cabbage. Crispy wings were a hit with the kids too.
Bonus: free parking, chill vibe with fun decor (shoutout to the 3-Body Problem fans!). Total win for students, families, and anyone craving affordable, flavorful Chinese food in DTLA.“

“Both employees were nice and patient, surprised there were only two workers though, they had to do a lot. The food was good, they explained that the creamy spicy base wasn’t really spicy, which I picked, and I liked it! The meat was good, decent atmosphere, not loud, no smoke from the cooking in your face as well, which I was surprised about because that normally happens in some shabu shabu restaurants.“

“This was our third time dining at Eigikutei and we were just as pleased this time as we were with our maiden experience. We were favored with our personal favorite of the sushi kaiseki Yawaragi (10-piece sushi). All the separate elements of the course melded perfectly for our palette. The service was attentive and on que with our pacing of eating. And the ambience was quiet serenity. We highly recommend dining at Eigikutei for any fine dining connoisseur!“

“We recently embarked on a three-week west coast “foodie” vacation, spanning five states and six major cities. Along the way, we dined at everything from Michelin-starred establishments to small mom-and-pop restaurants. By the end of our trip, everyone in our group unanimously agreed that our experience at Tensho was one of the absolute highlights.

From the warm hospitality and the evident pride in food preparation to the impeccable service and outstanding flavors, everything about our visit was memorable. We left the restaurant on a true “food high,” feeling as though if the entire world could experience what we just had, it might inspire world peace.

Be sure to order the wagyu—it’s an absolute must and a true indulgence!“

“One of several new malatang places in the area, Bruin Bowl is not a large place, but they seem to have a solid selection of meats, veggies, noodles, and seafood despite their modest size. Both the bone broth and the chicken/fish maw soup bases are pretty tasty too. Excellent option if you're in the area.“

“The food at Wok Bar is a mixed bag. I had the lamb and beef skewers with rice; the flavor was good, but the meat was very dry. They definitely need to include a sauce or improve the marinade. Also, be aware of their seating policy you can’t eat skewers inside unless you order the big soup, so it's mostly a take go spot for skewer lovers. Good potential, but needs better food quality.“

“Definitely my top 5 favorite restaurant in Ktown!! The food is so good, probably because the selections here are always so fresh and so clean. It’s always a pleasant experience to dine in here. The people working here are also very kind and helpful.

Btw, if it matters to you, they have THE cleanest restroom I have ever seen in Ktown.“

“If you’re looking for a dry hot pot place, you should check this place out. It’s very tasty, and I’ve been coming back many times. They also close very late, so you can get late-night snacks here to go. Valet parking only for $5 within 1 hour.“

“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“

“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.“

“Jing-gee Skhan is there specialty. I only come here for this. Save room for congee at the end.“

“I ordered the SP D Combo with army stew, spicy chicken feet, corn cheese, and seaweed rice ball — everything was delicious! The flavors were rich and well-balanced. The spicy chicken feet at level 1 were just the right amount of heat for me — super flavorful without being overwhelming. Definitely a great spot for Korean comfort food. Highly recommend for late night meal.“

“We had the lobster meatballs, egg custard buns, and pork and crab dumplings. The flavors and textures were so interesting and totally scrumptious. Everything was made fresh and brought out piping hot. We've travelled the U.S. extensively and are foodies, so let me tell you this place is a true authentic gem which should not be overlooked.“

“On the 3rd floor above Kinokuniya in Little Tokyo. This cozy restaurant serves shabu shabu and kushiyaki with options of beef, chicken, pork, and seafood. Different dipping sauce for each type of food and served with miso soup and rice. You have the option of ordering half size, full size, or all you can eat.“

“As soon as we walked into the restaurant, we knew we were in for a treat. The ambience and decor were amazing; super chic with little surprises here and there. The food was delicious! We had the sushi; a mix of rolls and nigiri. The hamachi tostada is a MUST. Portions were a little on the smaller side but that just meant we were able to try more from the menu. Also don't sleep on the seasonal drinks! Overall, loved our experience and will definitely be going back!“

“I’ve eaten here about 5 times now and easily is one of my favorite places to eat in LA! They offer all you can eat shabu for affordable prices in comparison to many other places, it’s about $28 a person but the selections are good and completely satisying, and even include sushi. The veggie/buffet bar also has delicious things, plus tasty sauces to go with your food. If you ever go do not fail to get the tom yum broth and sukiyaki sauce for your meats! It is insanely delicious and flavorful. Atmosphere is quiet and relaxing too :) Thank you Shabushi for the great service and eats!“

“Authentic Chinese cuisine is a must-try, featuring an abundance of noodles and toppings, generously served with meat. The deep, rich flavors are a testament to their culinary expertise, and my Asian parents approve of their dishes. Occasionally, they offer great deals on drinks. The service is swift and efficient. I particularly love their double fatty beef and tomato noodle soups.“
