I'm always looking for spots that are actually worth stopping for, and Chuan Pot was a great find on the way home from LA. Hot pot definitely hit the spot. The AYCE meats and appetizers were solid, and both broths we tried were flavorful. The spicy miso had a nice kick while the mushroom broth was delicious and comforting. They also offer a Cambodian broth that sounded really intriguing. It's shrimp and peanut based, and I already know that's what I'm ordering next time. The self serve bar had a good variety of veggies, seafood, and sauces so you can really customize your meal however you want. Service was friendly, fast, and attentive throughout the entire meal, which always makes a difference during AYCE dining. To top it all off, they included ice cream at the end. The ube and vanilla flavors were the perfect way to finish everything off. My only small ding would be the bathroom, it's not in the best shape. Probably best to use one elsewhere if you can. Otherwise, the food really hits and I'd definitely come back. read more

First of all -- plenty of parking around, so no circling like a hungry shark before dinner. That's already a win in my book. When you walk in, it's super open and spacious, and honestly for an all-you-can-eat spot, the pricing is SO good. The best part? It's usually never packed and we never wait. Immediate seating + unlimited food? Say less. We came tonight to celebrate my dad's birthday and got seated right away. The service was TOP-NOTCH. Every five minutes (not exaggerating), the servers were checking in asking if we wanted to order more meat. I felt seen. I felt supported. I felt encouraged to eat more. And the best part? They refilled our tom yum & tomato soup, with the exact same soil base! Usually other hotpot spots would refill their normal bone broth, but they literally filled tom yum & tomato, which was amazing There are PLENTY of tables and so many protein options: Vegetarians? Covered -- all kinds of tofu. Seafood lovers? Shrimp, fish, mussels, clams. Meat lovers? You already know. Noodle section + veggie bar (which we bravely avoided to save room for meat). Unlimited rice. And the sauce station? Elite. Hubby and I are very saucy people, and the make-your-own sauce bar is dangerous in the best way. So many ingredients to mix and match -- it's basically a personality test in condiment form. As of February 2026 pricing: * $30.99 cash * $32.23 with card (3% surcharge) * Kids under 40 inches = FREE * 40-50 inches = about $13.99 And the cherry on top? Complimentary ice cream. With refills. Yes, REFILLS. Flavors included vanilla, strawberry, ube, cookies & cream, and rainbow sherbet. We absolutely went back for seconds because we have no self-control. This is definitely our go-to spot for all-you-can-eat hot pot. Great service, great pricing, tons of options, and free ice cream? We're loyal. Happy eats!! read more

We use to go to this place regularly. It has drastically declined since new ownership, unfortunately. Service is extremely slow and lacking. Walked in at dinner time on a Sunday and there was not a single employee to be found. No greeter and the staff were in the back. When a waitress finally emerged they just told us to have a seat anywhere we like. No greeting or welcome (no big deal). Took a look at the menu and prices have increased. Children are charged by height and not age. Sesame balls and other pastries are no longer available at the sauce bar area. Veggies are moved to the side of the restaurant right outside the entrance way to the restroom (weird). Paid our bill and walked right past the cashier. Not a single acknowledgment or thank you. Not even a look. Anyways it's very unfortunate because we use to love coming here. I really hope they can figure things out. This place use to be packed at dinner time on a weekend, now it was nearly half empty. It took 15 minutes for our soup to be refilled after asking. read more

We love it here! However, during the week off-peak hours, it seems there's only one staff member working... Everything. This means they are simultaneously waiting tables, seating patrons, prepping food, refilling the veggie, sides, and sauce bar... I often feel bad, but also feel it takes more effort to get their attention when you need more meat. However, we are so glad we found this spot! Their lunch special pricing is amazing and we hope more people get to find the joys of this restaurant as well! read more

This place is delicious ! I love the bar style and how I can grab anything sides or sauces i need it's amazing. The service was good and attentive, got us everything we needed at a good pace. The place is cute too i love the aesthetics of it. Deff recommend it was so good and i will deff be back one day. read more

I love this place I come at least 2 to 3 times a month. I always get my Yao Haon and Clear broth. The big pot splits into two. Is not a single pot place. The spectacular service and the food simply delicious. The price point is good. You get ice cream after your meal. My only issues the meatballs section should have beef ball because every hot pot place like AYCE style always does. Please bring in some beef balls. The veggie selection is great. There is no crawfish or blue crabs unfortunately. Like I said I got to a lot of hot pot place but the price here you cannot beat it. You have to try. I'll be going again today. read more

I visited Chuan pot for the first time this past weekend, on a Saturday to be exact. When I went there were a few people in there celebrating a birthday but other than that it was pretty empty. The place is very inviting, a decent size with plenty of tables. For drinks I had their Strawberry Matcha and it was pretty good. They have all you can eat hot pot with a few broth options, meats, appetizers and ice cream. We ended up ordering clean and clear and the spicy miso. They have lunch specials Monday through Thursday. read more

Ok, to be completely fair and in full transparency we never talked to anyone nor did we order any food. We didn't taste any food or even see any food. We had very high hopes for this place however, upon entry, you cannot smell any food, there was one customer who had no food, and no one to greet us. So we stood there all quietly realizing that there was a very strong odor but not a good one. It smelled like urine and a well used restroom. We quietly left before anyone had the chance to talk to us. So I chose not to eat here and I don't think I recommend it either. I hope this was just a bad plumbing issue and that this place is usually amazing! read more

We have visited this restaurant with the ownership change and wow what a difference!! Meat selection was very fresh and the self serve veggies and sauces were fresh as well and everything was clean! Our server I think his name was Rafael was very professional and was attentive to us the entire time. Highly recommended! I'm glad we gave this place another chance with the new change. Both of our broths were very flavorful the spicy Japanese miso and the sichuan broth was delicious! Very flavorful! I would only say the AC didn't keep up and we were pretty hot but it was 100 degrees outside so I would imagine the AC just wasn't keeping up. But if it was cooler in there it would have perfect. Either way we would return!! read more

Chuan Pot - Spicy Japanese miso / sichuan - Hot Pot Near Me - Diamond Bar, California

First time here with my family. It was fairly priced. I like the selection of meat choices since we basically only eat brisket, beef round, beef chuck eye, and lamb. They do have chicken and pork as well. We enjoyed the other amenities: the sauce bar, assorted seafood, assorted vegetables, and assorted noodles. All of it was fresh and yummy! The servers were friendly and attentive. The restaurant is roomy and good for group gatherings. Parking is not an issue for it is in a plaza. We will definitely come back. read more

My family and I (group of 5) had a Sunday lunch at this restaurant. We arrived right at opening so we were seated right away and only half of the restaurant was occupied. Our order was taken right away and given right away too. We ordered mushroom and spicy miso broth. I felt the spicy miso had great flavor, but wished it was spicier. I wish I could have tasted more umami/mushroom flavor in the mushroom broth. There's a cold bar where you can get various seafood and vegetable items. There's a lot of options for both. Good quality for the vegetables and seafood. Same can be said for the meat. Everything is all-you-can-eat for a reasonable price ($25 for lunch and $30 for dinner). read more

With the amount of ayce hot pots places around, it's tougher to stand out. I tried their house special broth and their "Yao Hon" Cambodian broth. Not sure if it was the sauce I made, but everything was salty. The workers are very friendly and attentive to us, but they did not check or restock the self-serve bars. The vegetables, garlic, green onions, cilantro, rice were all empty. Overall the variety for AYCE is lacking. read more

This place was amazing! My mother recommended this place cause it had a Cambodian Soup Base called "Yao Hon" which is a one of my favorite hot pot soup bases that is not very common. The meats and the variety's of seafood and veggies were spectacular. The customer service was wonderful as well. They came and checked on us often and made sure we had our fill of meats and we were comfortable. I will be coming back again soon and recommending this place to my friends and family. read more

All I have to say is I'm coming back for sure. Service was great. It wasn't too busy we came before the rush. It was just peaceful. I enjoyed the broths we had tom yum and miso. Love that the filled up the broth it's own and not just one broth like other place do. And unlimited ice cream. Say less. lol read more

Meats were thin sliced but were fairly good quality. Large variety of other items including veggies and seafood if only a bit limited on actual fish. Service was on top of everything and brought everything very quickly when requested. Not an overly crowded dining area and liked the decor. Bathroom smelled just a bit strange but it's the bathroom. read more

Went here for my birthday a while back since I was craving hot pot and it was SO DELICIOUS! This place is so special because they have a Cambodian broth called yao han and it was so rich in flavor. My husband is Khmer and said it tasted very close to how his mom makes it. The owners were so sweet and the service was so fast! The really took care of us. There were many options for the veggies and meat also. I was impressed with the cleanliness because some hot pot AYCE places don't put the same amount of care. We will definitely be back and will bring our family too! read more

Chuan Pot - Miso on the left and yao han on the right - Hot Pot Near Me - Diamond Bar, California

I went with my boyfriend for the first time. The meat selection menu was really small, only 8 choices. There was a 90 minute time limit. The rules for how many meat platters we could order was confusing. We asked twice for clarification and we were still confused about the meat platters. I overheard other customers ask again as well, they were confused by the rules too. This restaurant is supposed to be all you can eat (AYCE) but that seems inaccurate and misleading. We ordered spicy miso and clean & clear broth. The broths were good! We didn't get individual pots, so the temperature was super inconsistent. My broth was barely boiling, while his was boiling nonstop. The veggies (mushrooms, carrots, tofu) were still too tough and chewy after boiling 40 minutes. We used forks but they only had small plastic ones. Our bowls were small and metal, so we couldn't pick it up while eating. The platters had only 4-5 slices of thin meat. The service was fair. The ambiance was okay, there was music in the background and lots of space. There were 3 big frozen self serve areas, seafood, veggies, sauces. The restaurant was empty, considering it was lunch time. There was a good variety of toppings, meat and seafood. We went for lunch special for $25/person. It was not worth the price, limited meat selection and fair service. Empty restaurants are foretelling. read more

Definitely coming back here soon! One of the best hotpot places I've been to. Amazing service and they have good selections of veggies and meat. My favorite was definitely their beef short plate. The marbling was incredible and everything tasted amazing. I also love how the interior of the place is decorated. They opened up pretty recently so I would definitely recommend! read more

Needed to find a replacement for Shabuya and Broth which have both been going downhill. Happy to stumble upon this savory little gem in a busy strip mall next to H mart. The restaurant just changed ownership and the new owners are lovely, attentive and wonderful people. Talk about a great mom and pop shop! Now for the food. You can select two broths for the table. (The pot was huge btw!) We chose the House Special which was very spicy and had the Szechuan kick and spicy miso. Both broths were flavorful with just the right amount of spices. The meats were fresh and tasty. They also had a great seafood and salad bar that had a great variety and all the selections scrumptious. Overall, the food was great, the staff was superb (shoutout to our adorable waitress, Elissa!) and the restaurant super clean. Will definitely be back. read more

We are all very full and very happy with our meal. $30some each for AYCE shabu! Cammmannnn. It's a deal. There's a sauce bar, there's a veggie bar, there's a seafood bar and then you order apps, meat, soup and ice cream from your server. Blew my mind how much was included. The restaurant is also very clean and they check and stock the bars frequently. The servers were so sweet and attentive. I believe it's a family restaurant, they seem so nice and so caring. Hubs is full, I'm full, 11 yr old is full and 3 yr old is full. They loved EVERYTHING. Somehow this restaurant even got my kids to eat all their meat and veggies. I got the bone broth which was a perfect comfort thing for me in this cold weather and hubs got their miso which he said tasted really good with the beef slices. I was also amazed and how fresh the shrimp tasted, I ate six amongst all the other things, lol. Thanks so much Chuan Pot. We'll be back! read more

Food is fresh and staff is friendly but there are hidden fees. They charge an extra $5 for holidays and an extra 4% for using your credit card. What should be a $25 lunch will cost you $32 plus tax & tip on any given day. read more

I wasn't aware that the management changed until I walked by and they had a sign saying they had a special at $24.99 lunch special all you can eat for reopening! That's an amazing deal! I have come here before and it was just ok. It's a lot better now. They have more selection of toppings and 2 separate bars. Before they only had one. The plates and utensils are all metal. Before they were all paper. The have a new soup base (Tom yum is so good and probably my favorite). It looks like they have more meat selection too. I also ordered the passion fruit fizz drink and it's great. You can choose between one or two soup bases even if you are eating solo like I did. The ambiance is just a family sit down restaurant. Very chill. Music playing. I would definitely come here again now that's a better than what I remember! read more

Chuan Pot - Spicy miso with a whole lot of bok choy - Hot Pot Near Me - Diamond Bar, California

$33 ayce hotpot, very chinese in flavors and hotpot side offerings. Food itself is very satisfactory. Had their Chuan signature broth (sichuan flavor) super good and the right amount of spice (light medium), as well as the tomato broth (also quite good). They also had some freshly fried sesame balls and egg rolls, and free ice cream for dessert. My issue was with the service, super lacking and we practically had to ask for everything and serve ourselves everything, and the sauce appears disappointing, but still has what you need? And the paper plates and bowls tend to leak (because the food is drenched in broth... as is the usual for a hotpot place...) Bad vibes in certain things. read more

This place is outstanding! Inside the restaurant very clean. The soup base was delicious. Food selection was great and the price is very reasonable. Their veggies, noodle, and seafood were self served on the market table. They also give you complimentary ice cream at the end of your meals. And for limited time, they also give free thai tea or ice tea. Mika and everyone else was incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better. We will definitely be coming back! read more

The staff was sweet.but resturant is very small and the chairs are very very uncomfortable. their selection and variety is tiny. The pot is huge... and you have to share the pot. You dont get your own. Lack of variety in sauces, seafood, and veggies. The sauce variety is actually kind of sad. And idk why for the price it is for the weekend... why non alcoholic drinks are not included. Not worth it to me.. read more

The service: Came here with a party of 4 on a Saturday around 6PM. No wait at all for our party but the restaurant was almost full. Friendly waiters and service. The workers were very kind and accommodating to us, asking if we needed anything at all multiple times. Docking one star off because this is an AYCE hotpot place but they ran out of the meat we wanted and would have to take 20 minutes to cut. The food: The meat and sides were good! They had a good variety of veggies, sides, and sauces. The vibes: I love the aesthetic of this restaurant! Wooden chairs, tables, and a very large nice beautiful pot. read more

Came here for a weekend lunch and there was no wait when we arrived at 12pm. FOOD They have two stations: veggies and seafood, and sauce and dessert/appetizers. You can pick up to two soup broths to share. I came with a friend and we each got our own so we moved the pot to face us. The pot is huge and gets heat up pretty quickly. We ordered the four meats they had available: beef neck, shoulder, belly and lamb shoulder. My preferred meats were the beef neck and lamb. The place uses recycled paper plates, bowls, cups and utensils. Their sauce station had a lot of options, including sacha, garlic, chili peppers. I didn't find any sesame or peanut sauce but the selections worked for me. Appetizers were egg rolls, peanuts. The dessert was the aiyu jelly. They also have unlimited ice cream scoops they can give you. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have clams l, octopus, crawfish or crab as part of their seafood selections, which are found in other similar hotpot places. Their mussels were clumped together in ice and not thoroughly thawed out. I did like they had really fresh crowned daisies. PARKING It's located inside a huge parking plaza. It has a lot of spaces available when I arrived. read more

Finally decided to come try this all you can eat hot pot. The shopping center here is a little quiet as there's not too many other restaurants. The decor inside is lovely, the restaurant is very clean. You can set up a table to sit a large party, which is nice. We went on a weekday night, it wasn't too busy maybe 25% full. The restaurant feels family owned, they are very nice and friendly. You basically just choose between four different meats, there is a veggie seafood bar in the back that you go and grab your own. There's also a sauce bar and next to the sauce bar has a little hot snacks, cold appetizers, and a little dessert. At the very end, you also get a scoop of ice cream. The meat is that delicious, I preferred to fattier cuts over the lean cut. And then I also really enjoyed the lamb here. The lamb does not have a very gamy taste as some people don't like. Or the soup here has a good amount of flavor, you can also ask for additional spice for the spicy side. I definitely come back again, I like the atmosphere, I like that it's not overly crowded, the service was excellent, and the food was delicious ! read more

AYCE All you can eat hot pot. New ownership for a few weeks. Place is clean and size of this place is decent, not too big but won't be overcrowded if it gets busy. They have only 4 selections of meat. 3 beef and 1 lamb. They have a side dishes / veggies bar but since this place barely started or changed ownership, the selection is limited. The owner told me they will have more selection in the near future. The owner and the daughter are really nice and provided great services. Spoke to the owner for awhile. Nice lady! Good business! read more

The new owners have been here for a few months now..they added lots of veggies and other food items. When the new owners took over, the meats were good...not sure what has happened/changed. The meats aren't that great anymore... hopefully they can fix that. The service is great, Raphael was the only one helping us... the others kids (servers) all over the place....terrible! I would go back and give this place another chance to see if they made some changes. read more
