Hot Pot Restaurants near Walnut, CA

“The staff is friendly, helpful, and quick. That place is always busy and the staff moves quickly to help each patron.“

“Food always great service is ok too! This is like our extended kitchen.“

“Unexpectedly good personal shabu shabu here in this little cafe! The portion is very large for the price. It's already cooked and ready to eat. Meat and veggies are very tender and the broth is perfect. I think other dishes are just OK. Kung pao chicken was not very authentic. Tea is quite strong, but also quite impressive about the scent. Boba was less than what I expected from a place known for boba.“

“The service is exceptional. They even provide complimentary hair ties and aprons, and the staff is incredibly attentive, always keeping an eye on our table. The prices are also very reasonable for the quality of the food. Definitely a place worth coming back to!“

“Lisa made our experience exceptional. From the moment we walked in, she was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. It’s rare to come across someone who genuinely cares about making guests feel comfortable, and Lisa did exactly that. Her positive attitude and thoughtful service made our meal even more enjoyable. Thank you, Lisa, for your hospitality—we’ll definitely be back!“

“I love it enjoy so much I wanna more“

“Thanks to my son in law we got to try a new spot. How Rowland Heights has changed since the 80’s. Just love the rich food scene. Be forewarned. Friday and Saturday nights the parking can be very challenging. Once seated service was quick. But here is how it works. You order your broth selection an some premium proteins online. The rest is pretty much self service from the various refrigerators. Seafood, beef tendon, beef with cilantro, gizzards, plenty of mushrooms, and veggies. You select what you want and take it back to your table and immerse in the broth. Feels very cafe style which I just enjoyed. Totally a find. I will be back.“

“The overall environment is clean and well-designed, and the self-serve sauce bar is also very tidy. The ingredients are very fresh—the sliced meats have beautiful marbling, the seafood is well-prepared with no fishy smell at all, and there’s a wide variety of fresh vegetables.

It’s currently $14.99/lb, and there’s a 12% opening discount, plus a free drink included, which honestly makes the value feel almost unbelievable… hotpot has never felt this affordable and stress-free.

We ordered the spicy broth and tomato bone broth. The moment they arrived, the aroma was incredible. The spicy broth was bold, hot, and flavorful, while the tomato broth was rich and comforting.

I really like this “small and refined” style of hotpot—no fighting for ingredients, no worrying about portion sizes. Every bite feels like your own pace, and the whole experience is both relaxing and satisfying.“

“I went there for brunch and had the Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict and a Shrek Latte with matcha, brown sugar, cinnamon.I must say, the customer service and food both exceeded my expectations. I would definitely go there again to try other items on their menu.“

“You won't find a better hot pot place than this. The thai soup was the best tasting soup I've ever had in my life. The all you can eat condiments were awesome. The meat high quality and tasty. Usually no wait for a table which is a suprise.“

“Clean, friendly & attentive staff, lots of options for ingredients, good classic bone soup, tomato soup, mushroom soup but my favorite is the stir-fried spicy wok (麻辣香鍋)🌶️🌶️🌶️, so much that I’ve been coming here weekly.“

“The buffet at Pichaiyuan offers an impressive variety of options, including a fresh selection of vegetables, seafood, meats, noodles, and a fully stocked sauce bar. There’s also a hot appetizer station featuring wings, chips, fried sesame balls, and more. Unlimited drinks are included as well, with choices like passion fruit juice, winter melon tea, and chrysanthemum tea.

For the broths, we chose the original bone soup and the hot and sour soup. The bone broth was rich and flavorful, but the hot and sour broth was definitely the standout.

We went with the top-tier AYCE Combo C, which includes premium cuts like Grassland lamb, beef tongue, and American Kobe Wagyu beef. It also comes with everything from Combos A and B, plus access to all the meat selections at the buffet. The premium meats were absolutely delicious and well worth the upgrade.

With great service, quality food, and affordable pricing, this is definitely a hot pot spot we’d happily return to.“

“Clean , good service , good food and I like the happy hour they have different free drinks everyday! ! I like Rowland Heights big way good 👍!!“

“Always good quality and good sized meals. Have eaten here many times and recommended if you’re a shabu fan.“

“Loved my experience at East Town hot pot!! It was my first time seeing a charcoal hot pot, and I loved that you could choose two types of soup for each pot! They have a really wide selection of proteins and veggies. I highly recommend the beef and lamb combo! It’s mostly beef options, but it gives you a good selection of their proteins! Also, save some room for dessert! They have fresh cut fruits, popcorn, and a soft serve machine!“

“I moved to other state 2 years ago and this restaurant is one of restaurants I really miss in LA. Every time I come back to LA I must have a dinner here. This restaurant never let me down. It is one of the most authentic Chongqing Hot Pot restaurants. The taste is great and the food material is fresh and quality. They are very generous to provide complimentary high quality snacks. They treat the customers thoughtfully and it is why they exist so long a time.“

“If you're in LA and craving for hotpot with fresh meats, veg and seafoods with your family and friends, Shabu Wara is definitely worth dining at. My family and I had the sukiyaki and tomyam broth with seafood, lamb and beef as proteins and rice. In winter, the hotpot HITS THE SPOT. Fresh meats, flavorful broth, generous cuts of fresh vegetables. Staff were all professional and prompt in ensuring diners are having a wonderful experience. This is a great social event for dining or if you're just a foodie! Totally worth checking out.“

“I would recommend Little Skewer if you want some authentic Chinese food. My group of four loved the skewers the most- it was full of flavors, and cooked perfectly. Not only the food will amazed you but also the interior- feels like your in little China. IMPRESSIVE!“

“Tang Bar offers an incredible variety of soup bases for malatang. I tried the laksa soup base, a unique Singaporean/Malaysian coconut curry flavor that I haven't seen at other malatang spots. The selection is impressive, and there's even a dedicated sauce bar where you can customize your mix with garlic, green onions, regular onions, cilantro, chili peppers, and peanut sauce. The pricing is fair too, at roughly $14.99 per pound. I managed to get a lot of food for $20, though I did find their rice a bit pricey at $2.50 per bowl. Overall, everything else was excellent!“

“Memorable first time experience eating at a Mongolian restaurant. the hot pot experience was very unique & novel for me. I found the idea of selecting your uncooked proteins, carbs (e.g noodles) & vegetables, selecting your broth (up to 2) & then cooking them right at your table, very intriguing & different. The staff are very nice & we're ready to explain & walk me through the process as a first timer. The food is delicious & had a lot of variety to choose from for a very varied experience. Tried the all you can eat option but got a happy hour discount. Ambience & decor looked very niche & classy. Plenty of parking spots available to park. Reservations are required for groups but none required if you are a party of one. Plan to arrive 30 mins before closing time to get the best full experience.“

“Jiaoxiangyuan is a new-style Sichuan restaurant. Its signature dish is the bullfrog double boiler. I invited the whole family to try it at Christmas. It was really good. Several dishes recommended by the restaurant manager were very delicious, and the family was full of praises. I stayed here. I made a good impression and will choose this restaurant next time I invite friends to dinner.“

“Came here for a club dinner and had a great experience. Our server, Rebecca, was wonderful. I got the solo hot pot and went with the miso broth, which was pretty good. What I liked most is that you can pick and choose your own ingredients instead of being stuck with pre-set options. Would recommend!“

“Good soup and side dishes. Large servings and servers are very nice😁“

“The best Malatang in Los Angeles, especially the secret bone broth, with dipping sauces is even better than the soup base in some hot pot restaurants. I have eaten at all the restaurants by Zhang Liang and Yang Guofu, and they are not to my taste. This is the only one that I want to go back to because of its delicious flavor. I hope the boss keeps it going.“

“this shabu-shabu place is amazing 😝 they offer a wide variety of soup base options, and soups I tried were flavorful and rich. the quality of the meat is fresh, tender, and really top-notch !! the employees are incredibly friendly and attentive, which made the whole dining experience even better. Highly recommended :)) 🤤“

“The hotpot I eat most often with friends is Lao Pier. The first time I ate flying pancakes was at Lao Pier. Now that I think about it, it still tastes delicious.“

“red chili is my sunday spot, it’s cozy, flavorful, and consistently hits the mark. the stir-fried string beans are punchy and perfectly blistered, the pickled chili fish is sour and spicy in all the right ways, and the pork belly is so tender it barely holds together (in a good way). i also love ordering a few cold dishes to balance things out. the tripe with chili oil has this addictive chew and numbing heat.

nancy is my waitress every time and i adore her. she’s warm, fast, and somehow always knows exactly what i want, even when i don’t“

“Service was top notch tonight“

“We stopped in for dinner the other night. There is ample parking available in the parking lot. The restaurant is located off the beaten path but worth the discovery.

We came in for hot pot. Please note this is not an AYCE place. But the quality here will make you come back.

We got the pork tripe chicken broth. I could drink this all day. We got an assortment of vegetables. We got corn, various mushrooms, bamboo shoots, tofu, greens and water chestnuts. All so good and so fresh.

For proteins we got ribeye, beef tongue, and lamb. Everything was so fatty and flavorful. Such great quality meat.

We also got a few appetizers. The popcorn mushrooms are my new favorite. The mashed garlic cucumbers were crispy and delicious. They also have skewers and we got chicken hearts, which is a personal favorite. And we also got a beef tongue plate. So good and the Chili's brought the heat.

Such friendly service and delicious comfort food will make this a place to come back to again and again.“

“recommended for soup lovers! great food.“

“My family and I live this place. The food is fresh and delightful. The only thing I would say in a different light is that I wish they had more staff. The service is good however, sometimes it takes a while for your server to cover to you due to understaffed. Other then that this place is one of our faves.“

“正宗台灣味～店家也很客氣“

“Great food great service highly recommend ten Shabu“

“We are lucky that if you dine during the lunch time, the rice is free. Or else you need to order the rice separately. The rice portion is big, however, one of the rice bowl contains the VERY BOTTOM of the rice pot. (See my picture). I don't think that is the right and professional way to serve a customer with that portion of the rice. Therefore, that deducts a star for this restaurant.

The service is good and the atmosphere is standard.

In conclusion, the prices for this restaurant are a bit high in my opinion. I will ONLY come back if the 20% off discount continues.“

“It ‘s so Yammy and health food!“

“Bought frozen food from here 1st time. Great food. Hope they have more options in frozen items in the future. I will definitely buy more in the future. One suggestion: Vacuum seal bag must be sealed securely especially the soup base. My beef stew soup and chicken noodle bags are leaking 😕. Luckily I have ziplock bag on each item before I put in my freezer. Otherwise my refrigerator will be all wet after I defrost my item in my refrigerator.“

“One of the best Japanese Shabu Shabu restaurants in Los Angeles.“
