Hot Pot Restaurants near Walnut, CA

“I've been coming here for 30+ years. I used to come so often that they would know me just from my order since I always ordered the same thing. For a brief period I didn't come here because they had changed up their menu and didn't offer Satay Chicken lunch specials anymore. But looks like they recently changed owners and I'm happy to say that the Satay Chicken Lunch and Dinner specials are back. Even better, the satay chicken is even more delicious and juicier than before. Service is great and the new owners are very friendly and welcoming.“

“This is a very good choice for Taiwan street food. The wantons were just as good as those in Taiwan and the 3-cup chicken lunch combo was decent, except it was a bit too sweet. We also tried the deep fried fish balls, which were really good, though I’m sure it wasn’t very healthy. The service was friendly and excellent. The eating area was clean and comfortable. I gave a 5-star rating due to its friendly service and closeness to authenticity of Taiwanese Chinese food (not to be confused with Taiwanese Food).“

“Spicy shrimp fried rice and taro boba was delicious. I enjoyed my visit here. Servers were polite and the fried rice was spicy to the extent that i enjoyed it and did not feel overwhelmed :) a nice good portion too I was happily full and the drink was also good. I highly recommend!“

“i went here a little bit late into the night with a few friends and when we walked in the service was the first thing we noticed, they're so nice and were helpful the entire time we were there! although we came at a late time so we were the only ones there, it was nice inside and it was very welcoming. we decided to order the army stew with beef and ramyun and it was enough to get us (there was 3 of us) super full AND with leftovers. i believe it had sausage, spam, brisket, rice cakes, some veggies, ramen noodles, and i might be missing a few more things, but the broth itself was SO good! we also got topokki with cheese as our add on and it was super yummy!! it had rice cakes, an egg, and fish cakes, but i would definitely add noodles next time. it didn't taste like most tteokbokkis i've had in the past but it was the perfect amount of sweet and savory. the cheese was so delicious it was the right amount of creamy and spicy!! we only ordered 2 entrees but it could honestly be enough for a party of 5. i would definitely go again“

“Omg!! The food was soooooo delicious I couldn't stop eating it!! Long was so attentive and sweet taking care of us the entire time!! Anything I needed he was there to bring it and help us!! Please come here and if you get Long you'll have not only the best server but best easy time !! :)“

“I want to go there every day if I could. There are ample parking places, and the place is packed on weekends.Their lunch menu A is only $16.99, which is insanely low today with all the inflation, I honestly don't know how they can make money.You have to order the soup base and meat from the servers, rest are all self-serving. There is a snack bar with sesame balls, fries and spring rolls for the kids, and there are a line of freezers with literally everything, from veggies to seafood to tripe.Food is fresh given they move through everything pretty fast, for the price there is really nothing to complain.“

“The golden chicken soup base is very rich and delicious, especially the Japanese A5 Wagyu beef, which is sweet, smooth and tender and melts in your mouth! The food is fresh and there is nothing wrong with it. I will definitely come back again. It was a great experience “

“Had a good time hanging out with my friends. Self-service picking ingredients: vegetables, meat, fish balls, shrimps, noodles, tofu, etc. You pay per pound. I feel good with a lot of varieties. After picking ingredients, you can choose soup from four different soup bases. They will cook and serve you in a big bowl. I love marinated chicken gizzards. I tried mild spicy original bone soup. Would love to try the same soup with medium spiciness and also tom yum soup.“

“First time trying this spot and was pleasantly surprised at the portion of the skewers and the price is decent. The beef skewers were tender and I love the beef with pineapple! Only wished there were more seafood options and items at the snack bar but overall loved the spicy house soup base and really liked they did have good selection of veggies. Would definitely come back again!“

“Little Pan was a delicious stop for some Shanghainese cuisine. The star of the show was definitely the Stone-cooked Tasty Pebble Crispy Grass Carp. The fish was cooked with hot rocks in a sizzling pot. The texture was bouncy it almost felt like thinly sliced pork belly.For the stir-fry, I opted for the Wagyu Beef with Black Pepper. The beef was incredibly tender and flavorful, and the black pepper sauce had a nice kick without being overpowering.The Szechuan Style Chicken in Chili Sauce was another winner. The chicken was juicy and well-coated in a spicy and flavorful sauce. It was the perfect level of heat.Little Pan's mini pan-fried buns are a must-try! I had two varieties: the beef with a refreshing pineapple drink and the pork with a unique specialty orange drink. Both were delicious, with soft and fluffy dough encasing savory fillings. The drinks attached to the bowl of buns was a cool gimmick.To finish off the meal, I had a Tanghulu - Hawthorne. This candied hawthorn berry on a skewer was a sweet and tangy treat, a perfect ending to a satisfying meal.Overall, Little Pan was a great experience. The food was delicious and authentic, and the service was friendly and efficient. I highly recommend checking it out if you're in the mood for some Shanghainese cuisine!“

“Excellent AYCE hot pot place! There’s an attention to detail to the dining experience that I really appreciate. They have a lifting hot pot separator so you see what you put inside. Service is quick and friendly and never seems like they are limiting you in any way. The meats are high quality and thinly cut, the veggies selection is abundant and cleanly maintained, the sauces selection is good, there’s some appetizers and a soda machine. They have some deals sometimes, which usually happen on weekdays. Totally underrated!Spicy brother and mushroom soup base are my preferred duo.“

“The best service I've seen at a Shabu place!I'm allergic to peanuts and eggs, which most Shabu places I've found have not been very accommodating. But Miss Shabu has the most friendly staff as they wrote on the menu notes on what foods I'm allergic to and which ones are good. They were very efficient with setting up our table of 16 and were flexible when we had less people than expected. The food was really good for a decent price. For dinner and drinks and tea, we spent about $50 and got 2 different soup bases, had many different types of sides, and plates on top of plates of meat. Definitely recommend this Shabu place if you were looking for one in Buena Park.“

“I found this restaurant on Yelp! What a great find! The inside is spacious. They have small curtain like partitions for privacy between tables. So far, I've been here twice. Both visits have gone well. This hot pot restaurant is shabu shabu style. You are given a slip and check off all the ingredients that you would like to put in your broth. The beef is cut fresh when you order it. I've tried the sichuan broth and the tom yum broth. They've been flavorful. I love adding tofu and potato vermicelli along with veggies and beef. Customer service is great. The waitress is attentive and friendly. She checks on you often and makes sure your cup is always full of water or your preferred drink. I also like how they are open late as this cold weather makes me crave hot pot. I'm looking forward to trying a new combination.“

“Was craving for some quick hotpot on a cold day and this place definitely hit the spot I tried their stinky tofu hotpot and it did not disappoint. There's a decent amount of meat in there and other ingredients as well. I wish the broth was a bit stronger in terms of flavor but it was delicious. They have a sauce station where you get to put together your own sauce. Service was friendly and the food didn't take too long to come out. I actually prefer this over boiling point because of the less wait and the food is just as good, if not better.“

“Great spot if you like mala (numbing and spicy) hotpot. It's Chongqing style, so spicy means spicy, and there are quite a few Sichuan peppercorns floating around--some don't like that, but I love it and that's exactly what I was looking for. They do have split pots so that you can get half spicy half not if you have a group with mixed preferences. Service was really good, and the sauce bar was legit, complete with all the most important elements in quantity for mixing up a dipping sauce just how you like it. It also had a good selection of other snacks, mostly carbs, but also a really nice pickled radish. Could be improved with a little fruit, like some sliced cantaloupe or something, but I'm not complaining.“

“The food and service have improved significantly since we dined in 2 years ago. Everything we ordered, from combination fried rice, sausage rice to joy pot, were excellent and big portions. Milk tea is consistently good and tastes like authentic tea not some fake powdery stuff. Staff were great and food came out quickly. We will visit there more often.“

“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.“

“Good personal hotpot place. Good price to permanent ratio. Pretty fast. The soups were all nice and drinkable. Even the spiciest level was not that spicy. Lots of veggies and meats to choose from. All tasted pretty fresh. If I were in the area I would come again if I have a craving for hotpot.“

“If you are into spicy Chinese food, then you will love this place. This eatery serves Chengdu style food (a sub-part of Szechuan cuisine). It had the same 麻辣 taste for all of their dishes （literal translation: numb & hot pepper spicy) as in a typical Szechuan dish. Numbing effects came from black & white peppercorns, which you can taste quite distinctively. Thhis style of food is known as Maocai 冒菜(translates from local dialect: heat the food); , which derived from the hot spicy soup with all kinds of herbs pour over the ingredients creating steam (as in 冒烟as in “smoking”）just before serving to the patrons. You can choose from the menu or pick your own from the buffet bar and you will pay based on the weight of your selections. Once weighted, the kitchen will cook your concoction for you based on your selection of the sauce. All sauces were spicy and numbing. You can also choose lite spiciness, mid spiciness or extreme spiciness. This is the first time I’d tried this and I actually enjoyed the numbing and hot peppers flavor very much. I pride myself on eating spicy food, but I opted for lite spiciness here and it was plenty spicy for me. The prices were reasonable and the quantity was fulfilling for the items on the menu. You can also choose from glass noodle, rice noodle or instant noodle for your carb. I had the rice noodle and it was very well made. My wife selected the least spiciest sauce, the beef bone soup, with beef and it was just a bit spicy, but plenty of numbness.“

“Shabu Wara is hands down, the BEST Japanese shabu shabu option in the Chino Hills area. We've been a couple times now and recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a high quality shabu experience! The service is amazing as well - the owner Arnold is super nice and the main guy at the counter Dayton is our new best friend. :POn Tuesdays and Sundays, Shabu Wara offers an ALL YOU CAN EAT experience, if you choose to avail. They have a standard a la carte menu too. On our most recent visit, we went for the AYCE. There were 3 options - Basic ($69pp), Deluxe ($89pp), or Premium ($109pp). Take a look at the photos of each of the menus so you can see the differences between the 3 options. The deluxe and premium have the Japanese A5 Wagyu Chuck Eye Steak, which is the appeal for those higher end options.We went with the Deluxe option this time and were not disappointed. Here's a breakdown of what we tried:- Japanese A5 Wagyu Brisket- Japanese A5 Wagyu Chuck Eye Steak- Full Blood MB9+ Australian Wagyu Brisket- Full Blood MB9+ Australian Wagyu Chuck Eye Steak- American Wagyu Karubi- Seafood platter (tiger shrimp, scallops, salmon, mussels)Of these items, of course we loved the Japanese A5 options which just melted in our mouths, but our personal favorite was the Australian Wagyu Brisket! In fact, we'd probably come back just for that one. It's not as fatty as the Japanese A5 options.There's plenty of parking where Shabu Wara is. We heard it gets super busy on weekends so maybe swing by for dinner on a weeknight. We've never had a wait and you can be right up in the bar area! Highly highly recommend!Parking: Plenty of parking lot spaces“

“Went there last night with friends on rainy day. It was really good, feel like back home eating hot pot. The service were fantastic, the servers were friendly and cute and nice, very helpful. The only thing was too COLD! Also we hope they can sing longer time. It was entertaining and the song was good. We have to drove an hour there. It's worth it. We definitely go again next time.“

“I went there on a weekday, it's only my tablet, and I was like, is this place good? No customer??? But after I got the food, OMFGGGG! I'm glad I stopped by there after skiing. This is the real gem of si chuan hot pot right here!!!! The service was so good the stuff was so nice. Also, the soup and beef are 100% quality! Only one thing u need to be careful of is the portion of beef. They give you a lot, I can tell because some places will give you a slide of 4 pieces of beef. But here!!? Let's check on my pic! So careful when you order beef, you will not make the waste food.If you like hot pot. Here is the answer.I love this place ❤️“

“So so so tasty!Love it. The restaurant is in Diamond Bar, a little bit far from DTLA. But it's worthy. They have spacious place also have private room in there can contain about 8people. I love their Taiwanese hot spot. Very authentic and there are plenty kinds of materials in the hotspot. Very recommended.Sanma Sniffing Pot is a Taiwanese hot pot restaurant located in a small and remote plaza.The Taiwanese spicy hotpot is really delicious. It has a lot of ingredients and the soup is very rich. Overall it’s very cost-effective.He also has a lot of choices and I think they are very authentic and delicious. Highly recommended! ! !“

“Decided to visit to this spot-on Thanksgiving Day 2023! Honestly, not sure what to expect, as soon we walked in, we were happily greeted and seated right away! I noticed there were a ton of to go orders. Partner and I were craving our typical Chinese food orderSalt and Pepper Calamari – Crunchy, seasoned well, not too spicySzechwan Eggplant – hint of spice, stayed hot (temperature wise) the whole timeBeef Chow Fun w gravy – Tender beef, flavorful noodsDuck – typical, very good except, it came out room temp.BBQ Pork – Typical and just like the duck – room temp.If you are in or near the area and can’t get to Alhambra or Rosemead, let’s say you live in Whittier, City of Industry, Avocado Heights then this is your spot. =)Missing star – I was quite surprised at the price of 2 Bbq item combo $31? Check out how small the portion was.“

The dessert options provide a sweet conclusion to the meal, making it a satisfying and memorable dining experience.

“Food/Taste/ - good food overall. We ordered beef belly, lamb, pork intestines, king oyster mushrooms, and chicken wings. The chicken wings are amazing! Nicely seasoned and very moist; probably the best item we ate. The mushrooms are good but the earthiness is completely covered by the seasoning so not our favorite. Beef belly was a bit bland, the lamb was mostly seasoning but delicious, and the pork intestine was great. - very quiet during lunch hour in the spacious restaurant. The two chairs are the exact size of the table so it's fairly difficult to push in and out of your seat if you're shifted either direction. - server definitely felt like she didn't want to be there. The table next to us asked for their candles to be lit so the food stayed warmer and she gave a heavy sigh before walking away to get the lighter. When she delivered the skewers, she threw it on the plate without a word then walked away immediately.Value for - yummy food in general, service was quick but cold, and reasonable pricing.“

“Love this place! Ate there when they first opened, it was good then but I could tell they were still working out the kinks. Since then, I could tell they've greatly improved and over the past week, decided to eat there twice! Great hot pots with fresh ingredients, great service and good ambience. Been waiting for a spot like this to open up in Placentia and grateful it's up to par with many of the better establishments around here. Support your local businesses!“

“My mom loves shabu, so we have eaten at nearly every single one nearby. My old favorite used to be in Rowland, but slowly they started giving less meat and watering down their sauces. LOCATION: The hot pot is located in the far left corner of "Haven" plaza. This spot is small but in a popular location. I still remember when this plaza was rundown. Parking is widely available in the daytime. FOOD:I got the perfect ten combo. This comes with a 6-piece gyoza appetizer (your choice of chicken or pork), 10oz of angus beef, a premium soup base (default is pork bone), a standard veggie bowl, and white rice. The gyoza were a bit oily but still tasty! I ended up having toro instead of angus beef because my mom didn't realize when she ordered that toro was more fatty. The toro was really tasty and filling. The standard veggie bowl has lettuce, spinach, tofu, mushrooms, carrots, a piece of broccoli and a piece of taro. It also has some udon and ramen egg noodle. The soup base was ok. I think I would go with a more natural flavor next time. Also, beware, the mild is still spicy! If you don't want spicy, ask for "no spice."I love all the sauces! You get ponzu, sesame, and satay. There's also fresh green onion, garlic, minced radish, and chili sauce to add on your own.I like that the portions are huge and filling. The price isn't cheap, but if you aren't a big eater, you can easily get a second meal out of it. Would definitely come back!“
