I didn't check ... but this in another review makes me want to check... ""EDIT: So I just found out the 18% mandatory tip is not even 18% even though it says 18% on the receipt. Double check the receipt as there are receipts that says "18%" but they actually charged 36%. With this new knowledge, don't support this business.""Checked... So my lunch was 59... 18% is 9.702, they charged me 10.62.... food is ok, they were a little slow refilling the bar of veggies, some slots just had ice, i wonder if they give serves decent pay or just take the money as their own.The cost of the drinks (not included with food anymore 2.60 per person) kinda annoying probably left the worse taste in my mouth by rushing us, we ate in the allowed time and we were in the middle of conversation and just drinking at that point, later than lunch hours and felt rushed out (why do you need to clean so quick?)Server was nice overall however and I would of tipped in a normal situation but that service charge...I thought it seemed strange that the total cost turned out to be 76+ for two people for lunch.

My wife and I had diarrhea together. I had diarrhea and went to the toilet twice while we were eating. If there is monitoring, we can check. After returning home, my wife also had diarrhea. There may be a hygiene problem.

I’ve been to this Mo-Mo location four times now over the last decade and each time has been consistently good. The service is attentive and friendly. The cuts of meat are pretty good. I wasn’t a fan of the beef eye of round (leanest cut), but 1000% enjoyed the beef chuck eye!! It was hands down my favorite cut. I like the variety of sauces available including the sesame, ponzu, spicy options and toppings like green onions, daikon and sesame seeds.One of my favorite parts must have been the black cherry ice cream that’s included at the end if you have a sweet tooth like me. You get 90 minutes to enjoy this AYCE place, which is a good amount of time.

Great AYCE hot pot. I recommend the sukiyaki broth, the others just don’t have the same flavor. Service is fast and efficient, would definitely come back.

Very busy hot pot restaurant. Service is great, very attentive. The meats and the vegetables bar are very good quality. Love the beef curry at the bar. Also loved the addition of frozen tofu. My only complaint would be the broth. We had the most popular, the tonkatsu broth, and it was quite bland. Thankfully there are a lot of condiments to alter it somewhat. But I do wish it started out with more flavor.Still, it's a good value.

Ambiance feels much more comfortable and laid back compared to other AYCE spots. Service was outstanding! A server asked if she should replace a plate is sliced beef if the marbling did not meet our expectation... unbelievable!!! But what really takes the cake is the freshness and quality of the meats! Veggie and sauce bar were tended too well and always stocked. 10/10 would return!

We love Mo-mo Paradise. We usually go to Arcadia location but decided to visit the one in Rowland Heights since they had available reservations. We arrived at 8:15 pm, the farmers market was missing a lot of items such as ramen noodles, bokchoy, napa cabbage. It felt like they were ready to close.

Quality of meat is great. Customer service is even better Although the choice of veggies and other ingredients to put into the shabu is limited, I think the curry in itself more that's compensate for lack of more shabu ingredients Definitely loved the customer service as they were friendly and attentive
My expectations on this place was 10 because of they are always full. Reality 2 stars. Service was so bad you have a reservation and they still make you wait for 20 mins. They include service charge on you bill which they don't do anything. You ask for something they give you attitude. I ask for hot green tea i ask 3 times it took them 15 mins. Food is ok for $34 not worth it no choices 6 meat thats it. No seafood. I would never comeback to this place.

I like the reservation system, so you don't have to waste time waiting in line. It seems that the price has increased again, but there is a discount for seniors, which is still a good benefit.

As always, Momo's never disappoints. Their meat selection is excellent and lunch time service was fast. Only recommendation I have would be to either switch up or offer more varieties of veggies.

Always a quality experience, my favorite Shabu Shabu restaurant! I always have to start off with a hearty plate of the Beef Curry - it could be a main course by itself. The traditional Shabu Shabu and Sukiyaki are my favorite soup combos - you can't go wrong with any meat choice.

Arrived 10 minutes before the reservation time and we didn't get seated until 30 minutes after the reservation time. Meals were good as we have been there a few times. We ordered the ice cream at the end and waiting for the waiter who forgot what we ordered and had to reconfirm. Then the front desk came gave us the warning that we are about to be asked to leave as we are almost exceeding the 90 minutes limit. This was totally uncool. We will think about it before coming back here again.
