Hot Pot Restaurants near North Hollywood, CA

“Staff is so nice and always ready to help.“

“I ate here with my family of seven, I was with my nephew and my niece. There was a lot of value in this restaurant. There is a sauce bar that also has light snacks that we enjoyed. The food was very delicious as well, and I’ll definitely come back here with more family.“

“Amazing food and experience, servers were helpful and friendly especially because I had NO IDEA how to do this. You get water and spices/ sauces, meats and proteins and veggies, and make your own dish. So cool and the food was just incredible.“

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

“I've visited this restaurant four times now, and the experience has consistently been great. The food and service quality are excellent, and the staff is incredibly accommodating. When one of us mentioned not eating raw fish, they prepared several complimentary cooked dishes to ensure we left satisfied. While I have noticed that portion sizes seem slightly smaller than before, I still left feeling full. The kaiseki and shabu are must-tries, and I am already looking forward to returning for their sukiyaki.“

“Tench is a gem of a restaurant. The shabu shabu experience is a unique culinary experience and Tensho does it right. The dishes that are part of the meal are delectable and always different. It is always a special night at Tensho. There is no place quite like it in LA - it is very special. An evening in Japan!“

“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.“

“Had their skewers and dry pot delivered, and honestly one of the best drypots I've ever had (i eat malatang every single week). Spicy, numbing, savory, and balanced. A lot of other dry pots tend to be sesame forward, but I liked that they stayed true to the mala chili oil. It was still so good the day after omg I still dream about it“

“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.“

“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“

“Always love the vibe here
it’s such a cozy and comfortable late night restaurant in LA. Noticed they recently started doing drink promotions, which is an awesome bonus.
Easily one of the best Korean bars in Koreatown for food and drinks.
Will be coming back even more often now lol“

“Meal was flavorful! We all agreed the dry pot stole the show. I really liked that I could load up my bowl with a very large variety of ingredients, from vegetables to meats to noodles. There is a minimum of 16 ounces but it was nice that I could choose whatever I wanted. I also chose not to have any rice because there were more than enough ingredients. I highly recommend this place for a casual no nonsense meal!!“

“The BEST Mala tang ever!!
This was my first visit here and the staff Brian was really nice and kind!!
Plus I loved the food and place as well~
So yummy and cozy the place~~
If I could I’d give 10 of 10! ❤“

“Interesting experience. Might be our new hotpot place to go. The restaurant look great. Love the Japanese fast food concept. Not sure about the Japanese pop music, bit didn't bother us. Servers very nice and attentive but didn't have same taste (recomendations). We ordered the spicy tonkatsu and the another 3rd infantry division spicy soup, and the octopus balls. The food is great. Love the individual hotpot. Yet, I prefer more traditional hotpot without hotdogs, cheese, and spam. I will never order that 3rd infantry division soup, LoL. But definitely the tonkotsu one. I recomend this place.“

“Their wagyu beef is so delicious! I cannot believe how soft they are and flavor is unbelievable. My recommendation is sukiyaki, but shabu shabu is good for variety.“

“I’ve been coming to Kyushu Shabu for years, and it still feels like one of the most comforting meals in the city. There’s something special about a place that stays true to itself instead of chasing trends.

The AYCE value is super great, the food is simple, traditional, and genuinely delicious. The broths are light and clean in a way that highlights the purity and quality of the ingredients instead of overpowering them. Fresh meats, vegetables, and that classic shabu-shabu experience that a lot of newer, more hip spots try to imitate but never quite capture.

The staff are always incredibly kind and hardworking, and you can tell how much care they put into keeping this longtime institution going. I keep coming back because I genuinely want places like Kyushu Shabu to stay alive. Restaurants with this much history, character, and heart are becoming rare.“

“Forgot to make reservations around the Pantages but in our lack of planning we luckily found Northern Cafe for dinner before the show. The food was cooked fresh and quick. It was delicious, with excellent service and was reasonably priced for awesome hot dumplings and an expertly spiced savory beef soup. We will be coming back again.“

“Mr. Rice has become one of me and my girlfriend’s favorite spots in West LA. The service is always excellent, and the staff takes care of you almost immediately after you walk in. Everyone is friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming.

The food is absolutely amazing and honestly reminds us so much of our time in Taiwan. The flavors feel authentic, comforting, and consistently delicious every single time we go. They also frequently give customers free specials and little extra deals, which always makes the experience even better.

Parking can be a little difficult since the entire block shares a parking garage that charges around $5 an hour, and the area definitely seems more catered toward UCLA students walking around. But despite that, the restaurant itself is 100% worth it.

Once I found out they delivered on Fantuan, it genuinely felt like heaven on earth. Highly, highly recommend Mr. Rice to anyone looking for amazing Chinese food and great service.“

“Just got off work really late and came here with a couple of coworkers. We were exhausted, really hungry, and honestly just wanted somewhere we could sit down, eat good food, and have a few drinks.

We ended up staying until almost 2 AM.

We ordered a bunch of dishes to share, had sake and beer, and just relaxed after a long day. The sashimi was fresh, the food was really good, and it was nice not feeling rushed even though it was so late.

Finding a place in LA where you can still get good Japanese food, drink sake and beer, and actually hang out after midnight is not that easy.

This ended up being exactly what we needed after work. Definitely coming back with the crew.“
