Hot Pot Restaurants in San Diego, CA

“we've been 3 times in the past few months and every time was great. we went the day after my wife's birthday, the same day our pet passed, and the staff made it a very special experience and distraction from our loss. absolutely recommend 110%. great food, great people, great experience overall.“

“Just went for the first time at Shabu Works!! Absolutely loved it… can’t wait to go back 😋“

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

“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. 🤙🤙🤙“

“a bit noisy and crowded at rush hour but i love the food and the wide range of ingredients to choose from. The original soup-based or tomatoes soup-based is the one to go. Either way, you should only choose medium spicy to avoid killing yourself :D. Ah, there's also fried skewers for people who are not afraid of oily dishes.“

“First time here, was pretty good. You get assigned a table; then you go up and grab your bowl to make your hotpot (at least a pound) . You can get a second bowl for skewers and hand it to the counter , I would recommend getting all your hotpot stuff first then going back for the skewers so its easier on your hands. Would go back again.“

“If you love hotpot this is a great place to go for all you can eat! Very decent prices and the servers are all so nice. They bring out meat for you and side dishes. Plus there are additional meat skewers and veggies/noodles/fishballs all in the refrigerated section that you can get yourself. And they have the sauce bar of course too.
We also brought a cake to celebrate our friend's birthday and they were so nice to put in in their fridge for us until we were done with dinner. 😊“

“I had an amazing experience with Ma Dasao. From the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely welcomed and taken care of. The service was warm, professional, and attentive — they truly go above and beyond for their customers.

The atmosphere is relaxing, clean, and inviting. You can tell they take pride in what they do because every detail is thoughtful and done with care. I left feeling refreshed, happy, and grateful for the wonderful experience.

If you’re looking for a place that treats you with kindness, professionalism, and real hospitality, Ma Dasao is absolutely worth visiting. Highly recommended I’ll definitely be coming back.

“First time dining here and we visited during Friday night dinner time. We were pleased to find out there was plenty of available parking. The strip mall which JKHP is located in depending on the day/time of week can be VERY difficult to park. We were given one of their booths and promptly served their complimentary Korean side dishes plus our water for the table. We had done a little Yelp research in JKHP prior to driving here and was pretty sure we were going to order their Galbi (grilled beef short ribs) and their Pork Cutlet. After mulling over their menu, we stuck to our original plan and ordered those two dishes mentioned. Wow, we were more than impressed with the taste, freshness, and portion size. Their dining room was clean and orderly, we were checked on by the wait staff regularly. They accept AMEX as a form of payment. We can’t wait to return to try other menu items such as their Bulgogi & Bi Bim Bap.“

“Very good price for all you can eat premium waygu meats. Very simple and to the point menu. Only wish their sauces was a little better and they had one extra side like steamed egg or japchae. It's just missing one or 2 things that would make it excellent, but for the lunch price of $35 and dinner for $40 you get your value. The parking isn't too bad either compared to other spots in clairemont.“

“This place is really good! Loved the fat little spicy sausages, the Lao salad, the crying tiger beef, the Mok fish and the heavenly jerky. So flavorful, warmly spicy but with lots of lemongrass and herbal flavors. Not a fancy place, but you can definitely feel the love.“

“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.“
