“It was my first time trying Hot Pot, the food was excellent. The experience was also great. Lots of options and everything was fresh.“

“Ying Tang Hot Pot in Mira Mesa is a great value with an impressive variety of options. The selection stands out—tendon, fish balls, and a wide range of fresh veggies—so it’s easy to customize exactly what you want. Portions are generous for the price. Pro tip: take the leftover broth to go and add more ingredients at home for an easy second meal.“

“Owner is from Hawaii. Great service and great taste. Spicy Miso Broth hit thr spot. definitely will be back when I'm in town for work. 🤙🤙🤙“

“Excellent food, the flavor isn't lost even with the ingredients you add to your dish. One recommendation, even though it's at least a pound of food plus noodles, don't use two packets; one is enough and you'll enjoy your meal perfectly. just one think Parking is terrible!!!“

“A Shanghai-style home cooking small-plate buffet. We went on a Sunday and it was 28 per person. The selection is rich and varied, with dishes stir-fried fresh and served hot. Spicy dishes are optional and can be chosen based on your preference.

There are also dim sum, soy milk, and sweet rice wine glutinous rice balls available. New dishes keep coming out throughout the meal — not everything is offered at the same time — which makes it fun to try different items.

Overall, it’s great value for the price and definitely a place you could come back to often.“

“This restaurant is said to be a branch from Korea, and the interior definitely feels authentically Korean. It’s very clean, and the walls are filled with photos of Korean celebrities, so it really seems like a place that’s also popular in Korea. The side dishes were delicious too—especially the potatoes. The seasoning was so good that we asked for extra several times!
For the main dish, we ordered their signature pork bone soup. The broth was rich and flavorful, and you can adjust the spice level if you want it spicy. All the ingredients were very fresh. The pork bones were cooked until the meat was super tender, and the portions were huge—more than enough for two people. We couldn’t finish it and ended up taking the rest home. It was very satisfying.
The staff helped with cooking and explained the dishes, making the whole dining experience really pleasant. Overall, it’s definitely worth a try! Great flavor, generous portions, and a must-visit spot for anyone who loves pork bone soup.“

“Dual BBQ and hot pot tables if you have people who prefer one or the other. Otherwise I would probably stick to a dedicated place for BBQ or hotpot. It has everything and the all you can eat is pretty generous, it's just not as polished as some other BBQ or hotpot restaurants.“

“Thai style papaya salad paired well with the Laos sausage and beef. The soup had a lot of vegetables. You won't feel bloated nor guilty after eating all this food. I could imagine eating this again in a hot summer day. Gives you that fresh and cooling feeling while eating.“

“When we entered there wasn’t anyone, and tbh the restaurant’s design looked a little bare… it almost looked like it wasn’t doing well. When the food came, my entire family (with three kids) loved it. We were here for lunch and ordered noodles, and I could just say it’s comfort in my belly. Tho they took our order wrongly and served us an extra bowl of noodle (and we paid for it), we took it bcos we wanted to try something else from the menu.

A senior lady (I suppose she’s the one who cooked the dishes) came out and asked if everything was alright, and even gave us a free bottle of drink. Oh, there was also a small crowd also flowed in during our meal as well.

Would recommend!“

“I enjoyed every bite! The food was delicious an I would recommend this spot to anyone.“
