This was my second time here and overall it's a great experience- fun sauce bar, quick service, elaborate decor - what's not to like? As far as the eating experience goes, I'd give it a solid 4... that is until I went to the ladies room...or tried to. This was my first time going to the restroom and I was appalled by the mustiness of the air and the dirtiness that I saw. I'm familiar with restrooms at basic restaurants and I don't expect aromatherapy candles or scented hand soap but as a consumer I do expect a certain level of cleanliness especially at an eating establishment. I tried to just suck it up and bear it but had to leave as soon as a saw a thin black ring around the toilet bowls...(mold?!?!) Sorry if it's too much info but just had to share- go for the food and the picture worthy decor but skip the bathrooms till they have a thorough clean!

I hadn't been to this place in like 12 years prior to this dinner. I remember liking it a lot in…read morethe past. I do feel that this place needs to up their game. Other places have passed them by in some respects First there is no sauce bar here. Just four small containers of sauces you can use. Ironically none of those sauces are soy sauce. A darker possible peanut sauce, a sesame sauce, a pinkish possibly fermented tofu sauce and the standard chili oil. I wanted more as far as the sauce goes and I thought a sauce bar was pretty standard these days Second there is no AYCE bar with small snacks. Kind of interesting When ordering the meat, I guess they wanted to save a plate so the sliced meats just came in plastic containers. That loses some points with me on presentation Other than that everything is fine. They charge a little less for the broth than a lot of places do, so that's nice Got vegetables, mushrooms, tofu, noodles and a couple of meats. Overall it's a fine experience, mostly Ok to Good. But the lack of some things makes it more second tier for me and it would not be a go to hot pot place for me

I found this place to be a bit pricey, particularly because almost all the veggies/noodles/non-meats were priced at $4.95. In my opinion, the end pricing should better reflect the ingredient pricing. Service was very bad. We were seated, ordered, and brought the food. We never were spoken to again and had to call over two different staff members to get the bill, then pay for it. They do have large tables for groups. Overall, this is the best hot pot restaurant I have tried so far, but I didn't love it.

I wrote a review for this restaurant about two and a half years ago. At that time I gave it 3…read morestars. This time I give it 4. Just like I mentioned in my review for Lameizi, that one is average, but Chunlahao is a little beyond average. It was at Chunlahao that I first learned about the so-called square bamboo shoot (方竹筍), and I liked it. But this time they were out of it, which was a pity. Another interesting thing happened when we ordered a plate of marinated beef. It looked fancy, arranged in a green and red Tai Chi shape, very beautiful. But when I tried to put it into the pot, I realized the plate only had the decoration but no beef. We told the waiters and they also found it funny. They replaced the plate for us. The restaurant was much brighter than the last time I visited, maybe because they changed the lights. We also had more people with us this time. I guess that is why I felt like giving a higher score. It must have been the better atmosphere.

This hot pot place is on the north west corner of Rosemead Blvd and Las Tunas. The same plaza as…read morethe TJ maxx. It has a big parking lot so I don't think parking would be an issue. On the outside it only says "Chong Qing Hot Pot". This place is pretty big actually. When you walk in, there's like a bit of a walk from the entrance to the actual dining area. The inside is also nicely decorated and themed. There are two "bars". One bar has all of your dipping sauces that you can make and it has jar sesame oil. There is another bar on the other side which has things like Sesame balls and other dessert like items. The service here is really good. They come check on you very often. Make sure your soup isn't empty and the food comes really quickly. The quality of the food is pretty good too. The meat is well marbled and the vegetables are pretty fresh. The soup broth I got was the spicy one which is like the traditional hot pot soup with the oil and the bone broth. The bone broth soup is actually really good. It's not bland and the spicy hotpot is actually really spicy. Overall, the experience is really good. Compared to Hai Di Lao to this place, I think this place is a bit better in terms of service and pricing but Hai Di Lao is better is presentation. The bone broth soup at Hai Di Lao is very bland and doesn't taste like anything compared to here. This place also has dessert items like sesame balls which is pretty good. I highly recommend trying this place out. 5/5. The only downfall I would say is the restroom, it just doesn't have good ventilation and smells.

I passed this place a few times and didn't realize it was the same restaurant as the one in Rowland…read moreheights. We came for Sunday dinner with a large group of family, we ended up splitting into two tables (which also means splitting the checks into two). There wasn't a crowd or wait at 5:30pm, but courses to 6:30pm is when the crowd started coming in. We ordered using the paper menu and got the split hotpot with spicy broth (mild) and nonspicy broth. My family ordered everything and I'm good with anything they ordered so I just went to the sauce station to get snacks and sauce ready, I ate a lot of bean noodles, they weren't overly spicy but a nice subtle numbing spice and saltiness, very delicious and cooling sensation. We ordered lamb, beef, vegetables, mushroom, crab sticks, and tofu for the hotpot. The spicy broth was actually pretty spicy for me so I couldn't eat from there butt family said it was good. Since the broths are boiling right next to each other, it's just a matter of time before the nonspicy gets a bit of the spicy oil mixed in. The staff were very accommodating, they got it done right away and even refilled or drinks almost every time they passed by. My son ate some beef slices with sesame paste sauce I made, I'm glad he had some as he usually eats the sesame balls, snacks, and chips. Overall, this location seems pretty much the same as the other one in Rowland heights, I didn't feel like it was different or which was better. Parking may be a factor but we came early and there was plenty of parking with some spots still open when we left at 7pm.

If you're looking for a more elevated hot pot experience in the San Gabriel Valley, Shancheng…read moreLameizi in San Gabriel is definitely worth checking out. I've been here twice now, and it's quickly become one of my favorite Sichuan-style hot pot spots. The restaurant has a modern Chinese aesthetic that feels a bit more upscale than Hai Di Lao, making it a great place for a nice dinner with friends or family. One of my favorite parts is the sauce bar, which has plenty of options to customize your perfect dipping sauce. We always order the half-and-half soup base with the spicy beef broth and the pork bone broth--the perfect combination of bold heat and rich, comforting flavor. Our go-to order includes plenty of greens, shiitake mushrooms, noodles, shrimp balls, and generous plates of sliced Wagyu and ribeye. Everything has been fresh and delicious each time we've visited. The snack and dessert station is another highlight. They offer a surprisingly large variety of chips, sesame balls, candies, desserts, and other little bites. Honestly, I'm always too full from the hot pot itself to sample everything, but I love having the option! They also serve refreshing iced fruit teas and a good selection of beers to pair with your meal. The only downside is the service. It can be a bit slow, likely because there only seems to be one server covering the dining room. They're friendly, but the restaurant could definitely benefit from more staff. It's also on the pricier side compared to some other hot pot restaurants in the area, but between the quality of the food, the extensive snack and dessert station, and the beautiful ambiance, I think it's worth the splurge. I'll definitely be coming back.

We arrived on a Sunday around 2 there was no wait for our party of two. We were seated immediately,…read moreand our server quickly took our broth and meat orders. We tried meats #1-3 from the regular menu and #8-9 from the weekend/dinner menu. Overall, the meat quality was decent, but I would definitely recommend ordering from the weekend/dinner menu if it's available. Those selections were noticeably better than the standard options. The service was attentive throughout our meal. The staff checked in regularly and promptly took our next round of meat orders whenever we ran out. You can order up to three items per round for the table. As expected for an AYCE (all-you-can-eat) hot pot restaurant, there were self-serve stations for vegetables, seafood, noodles, and sauces along the back of the restaurant. The vegetables were fresh, and the buffet areas were clean and well maintained. Parking was also convenient since the restaurant is located in a plaza with plenty of other stores and restaurants.

It was $34.99 a person for weekend dinner pricing as of Aug 2026 and includes soup options such as: original house, beef bone, spicy beef, miso, sukiyaki, vegetarian(?). Meat option included: prime brisket, wagyu style short plate, prime chuck eye, lamb, pork, chicken, filet, ribeye, and some others i may be forgetting. Soft drinks like pepsi, brisk raspberry, dr pepper were included and self serve. Soft serve ice cream (very mid) and green tea/black tea unsweetened as well. Salad bar had a lot of options and seafood. Kale, bok choy, napa cabbage, spinach, crown daisy/tong ho, mushrooms, kabocha, onion, quail eggs, ramen noodles, japchae noodles, clams, mussels, shrimps, crawfish. Tbh there were so many options which I was really satisfied with. You can tell this place is korean owned. I liked that their meats were very thinly sliced and cooked very fast in the broth. My favorite was the chuck eye. I liked the filet but the slices were too small to enjoy. So about that interaction.. in the beginning when we were getting our soup order taken, we were asking if there is spicy miso available. The server said they have miso and spicy sauce that they can mix together to make a spicy miso broth. We said we wanted to try it first to see if we like it before committing, bc she said that if we wanted to change our broth it would be a $2 or$3 (?)surcharge. (idont remember how much she said but she also said if we wanted to mix different broths in our pots it would be fine but changing out the entire pot for a new pot is an upcharge which didnt make sense to me..) She said yes and was helpful but she mixed some spicy sauce (which was very very spicy like capsaicin sauce) and the cold miso broth together and let us try it. She said if we wanted we can also mix the miso and spicy beef together. She was honestly trying her best to be helpful but trying cold spicy broth like that was very offputting LOL. We ended up doing the spicy beef broth instead and just didnt deal with the miso anymore. I thought the spicy beef reminded me of doeniang korean soybean paste stew. I think this was a nice place to try but this korean style shabu isn't what I'm going for when I'm looking to eat shabu! I felt this was pretty similar to Shabuya, but I personally might prefer that over this spot :p For the variety, I think it's worth a try if you haven't tried it yet!

When we arrived, there was no one at the front and we stood there for about 10 minutes until we were acknowledged by someone which was a little strange. Once we checked in and got seated, things went well. Ordering the meat was very easy and fast. They have a self service bar where you can get all your sauces, veggies, noodles, and sides. They also give you ice cream for dessert. We had the Wagyu experience and tried meat from both menus, obviously the Wagyu cuts were better but we enjoyed everything. I really like their sukiyaki broth, some places don't make it sweet enough. Their alcohol is also reasonably priced, we were able to get a bottle of sake and a mega beer mug for $26. Overall great experience at this location!
