We have been coming to this place to buy our hot pot meats for several years. We prefer coming here than buying at the grocery store. We like the convenience of being able to buy the trays of frozen meat by the pound and they seem like fresh cuts. Honestly we haven't tried the lamb, as we are not a fan of lamb meat. Our meat choice is always beef and sometimes pork/ pork belly. The store is not usually very busy and there is typically one lady at the counter quickly taking your order. read more

I never been to an asian meat market so this would be a first of a kind review for me but it was a great experience It was suggested through a friend of mine who enjoys hotpot as well The menu on the wall is strictly in mandarin chinese which I can't read but I do speak fairly OK I asked for beef and pork and she responded nicely lean or regular, I opted for lean which I had no idea there was that option. The menu was quite long but didnt have time to translate so Im not sure if there were different cuts or not but the meat was delicious and thin. $15.00 per set is a good amount of meat 1.5 LB per set 3 people couldn't finish 2 servings so that gives you an idea, its literally a mound of meat that comes semi frozen and ready to be boiled! Would definitely go back and try some more meats, the price is great and thin sliced so its easier to separate and hotpot it up for a party! They have meat balls there but didnt have time to figure out which was which The lady was nice but only speaks chinese so be patient or just whip out google translate! read more

$16 for 1.5lbs of lamb. meat quality is good, not gamey at all, and quite lean. the packaging is a bit flimsy, so make sure you go home immediately. They take apple pay and there's no minimum transaction fee (or maybe above $10-15). Service is fast and friendly. They don't really speak english but will try their best to make sure you get what you wanted. read more

Great place for hot pot meat! They are reasonably priced and the quality of the meat is pretty good. They only speak mandarin & a little english! read more

A great place to get your hot pot meats! Super quick and convenient. My Chinese isn't great so I just used google translate to figure out which items on the poster were the ones I wanted and pointed. The cashier was very understanding and doubled checked I was getting the right item by showing me to confirm. The pricing is a bit high compared to other place but the quality is unparalleled. read more

this is a great place for hotpot meat!! you can call and order ahead of time for pickup

Like most other people, I only come here to buy sliced meat and have never dined in. The meat is properly sliced and charged reasonably. The quality is unbeatable especially when you compare with those you can purchase in the supermarket or even those served in premium hotpot restaurants! $15 for 1.5 lbs of sliced lamb or beef Their side dishes and steamed SLB are good and inexpensive too. Perfect for a homemade hotpot night in cooler weather. Yum read more

Quality meat at a reasonable price. Definitely better than getting hotpot meat from the supermarkets.

Great place for hotpot meat. Quality never disappoints. We always come here to get our hotpot meat or for holiday get together.

Pretty worth to buy your shabu meat in bulk! Bought two 3lbs of Beef and one 3lbs of Lamb-- total being $78 I think cause the lady didn't give me a receipt... They also speak very limited English here since they all seem to speak Mandarin, but they are sure to understand what you want to order as long as you're direct with your order! Quality-wise, it's just okay, but you're definitely getting a lot more compared to what you buy in the super market. The meat is pretty thin and kind of has a lot of fat all around, but it was still pretty tasty overall. Basically, quality is just okay, but price makes it worth if you want a lot! You can always just freeze the meat if you don't finish it :) read more

Lady in the front is super sweet and helpful with my limited Chinese. Really good quality meats. This place is my go to place for hot pot meats. read more

Located next to Big Softee, you can get your hot pot meats here pre sliced. They have beef, pork, chicken, lamb and much more. Prices depends on what you get and how much you get. There is also Miao Yun across the street if you want something a bit cheaper. read more

Our favorite place for shabu meats!! I know the SGV has a few other little gems to buy thinly sliced meats, but since we have yet to try them.. this is our undisputed winner LOL. Miao Yun is located in the same plaza and is a few bucks cheaper per pound, but i've noticed the cuts of beef are also inconsistent and sometimes significantly fattier. If you want fresh, consistent shabu beef with the perfect fat-to-meat ratio, Deerfield is the winner in the plaza. They also take card now but i'm not sure if there's a minimum purchase or not. Menu is all in Chinese so I honestly don't know what else they offer but this is what I do know: for beef and lamb, they sell the meats in portions of 1.5lbs ($13-14) or 3lbs ($26-28). Beef tongue is in portions of 0.75lbs (12oz @ $12). These three selections are our go-to's. Sooo good!! Over the last year, the prices have gone up by about $1-2 for each portion. A little bit pricey since it adds up but still a fantastic deal for the convenience, quality and amount of meat you're getting! The shop also sells other shabu ingredients but even though I have yet to try them, i've heard good things and it's a nice little one-stop-shop for your homemade shabu night. read more

11.17.18 Winter time is perfect time for hot pot! I've never eaten here so I can't say much about the restaurant and services. I usually just get the sliced meat for hot pot and bounce. There's a minimum order of 1.5lb for $13. It's so cheaper compared to the market and the quality is good. So this is my go to place whenever I need sliced meat for hot pot. Now I want some hot pot. read more

Awesome place!! Even during this pandemic, it's nice to see them open and still keep the same prices! Meat is good as it always is, and can be bought either by 3lbs like the menu picture says or 1.5lbs, both at a very good price compared to buying it at the market. I bought what I usually get: 3lbs of beef ($26) and 1.5lbs of lamb ($13) As said in my previous review, the owners are really nice but pretty much only speak Chinese. CASH ONLY! read more

Open during Covid. Meat quality just as fresh. They increased their prices by a dollar so 1.5lb of meat is now $14. Does not deter me away. I have been a patron of this spot for many years. Meat quality and quantity always spot on. read more

This place is still KING of the sliced means (I tried Miao Yun, VERY GOOD, one-stop-shop for all your hot pot meats) but this place still has a better quality beef slices. I will give credit where credit is due. This place has been cash only for years and years, Miao Yun opened up in this plaza as their competition and took credit cards, Deerfield Garden took notice and also started to accept credit cards. Their meat is priced reasonably similarly (just a little bit more) but I found that little extra in the price you are getting your value for sure. The meat definitely tastes fresher and the cuts aren't as fatty. They're a lot more consistent here in the beef slices. Miao Yun sometimes is very fatty to sometimes less fatty, every day is a little different. Neither Deerfield Garden or Miao Yun are bad choices. If you're looking to save a little money and not have to go to 99 Ranch to pick up the rest of your hot pot fixings, Miao Yun, they're perfect. They also have a wider selection of weight to choose from, so you're not stuck with just 1lb or 3lb of meat. You can easily get 2lbs if you want. They're very flexible with that, Deerfield Garden on the other hand isn't flexible with its weight. If you're looking for a high-quality hot pot experience with high-quality cut beef or meats or making a meat dish that requires sliced meats, go to Deerfield Garden- their meats always make my hot pot taste like it's from an expensive hot pot restaurant. Maio Yun meats taste more in line with 99 Ranch, with a more made-at-home flavor and quality to it. read more

Favorite place to buy meat for hot pot! This is in the same plaza as Tokyo Fried Chicken and Big Softee and parking can be hellish during dinner rush as the lot is tiny. Even before quarantine, my family would always come here. We always get beef and lamb ($26 for 3lb, CASH ONLY) and stuff ourselves at home. Way more affordable than dining out for hot pot! The employees pretty much only speak Mandarin so if you speak English just be very direct with what you want. read more

We went into the store and a polite staff was helping us with 3 pounds of meat then the lady owner came out from the kitchen as she was on the phone . She saw my 3 other family members in the store and she said under her breath in a rude way "why are there so many people here" but the store had no other people except us. After we paid, the staff gave us back our change. The owner lady questioned the staff how much we paid and what we got and how much change she was give back to us and kept staring at us. It felt as if she thought we didn't buy enough meat for having 4 people in the store. She also made her staff and us very uncomfortable. Unfortunately we will not be coming here again. Hopefully her worker gets treated better too. read more

This is my to go place for sliced beef, lamb, and beef tongue for hot pot and Korean bbq at home! Prices are decent. The cuts are really nice. Not too fatty nor too lean. Been coming here for years now. read more

Been coming here for awhile to get meat for hot pot cravings. The quality is good but a couple weeks ago I came here and bought 3 lbs of meat for 28 bucks. Now it is 30 dollars as of June 2021 which is outrageous. read more

Super late review! Arrived here around 6pm on Christmas specially for hot pot meat! Surprise they are still open so late on holidays. This is the GO TO place for shabu shabu meat personally!

Price are affordable compare to super markets and their competitive prices. read more

We just moved to LA and this is a place I can't wait to try. Unfortunately it's during pandemic so I bought lamb and beef slices to go for my future hot pot night. It's always good to stock up since we don't live close by. Can't wait to try! read more

Deerfield Garden - Menu in October 2020. - Chinese Near Me - Monterey Park, California

They sell frozen pre sliced meats for hotpot as well as other integral hotpot ingredients. The lady mainly speaks mandarin and you probably have to gesture to her regarding which meats and how much you want to buy. Meats comes in aluminum trays in either 1.5lbs or 3lbs portions. You can also tell her if you want a fattier or leaner cut for your meats! The parking lot is quite small since this place shares the same lot as big softie and tokyo fried chicken company! Also cash only! read more

There's only one thing that this place is known for, and that is shabu meat! They have your lamb, beef, deer, and other needs for meat. They sell by 1.5 lbs and also by 3 lbs for very good affordable prices! Note that the lady at the front MAY try to trick you into buying more because I told her I wanted the 1.5 lbs and she kept shoving the 3 lb in my face. Pay in cash only and if you ever want to feed a large family for shabu, this is where you need to go! read more

If you are looking for hot pot meat, this is the place! Their beef are thin sliced which are perfect for home hot pot. They also have other options like lamb, belly meat etc. They take credit cards during the pandemic. Stay safe! read more

As soon as my party and I walk in. The person says to us, "What do you want? We don't serve real foods only only do noodles and dumplings. We don't have appetizers nor vegetables."

This place is always my top choice to buy sliced beef for hotpot. Compared to supermarket, the meat sold here is much fresher and the price is more reasonable. I got 3lbs of sliced beef for 30 bucks, which is a pretty good deal. read more

Thanks for, I don't know, showing racism could be done by anyone. It says "Open" both on the written sign and electronic sign, and open to 9. At 6:45, with other people eating, the owner comes up to me and says "Sorry. Closed." Since then, across the way at Hot pot hot pot," (review to follow later), they are still advertising as open, and people of Asian ancestry are still walking in and out. Well, blank you, too, Deerfield. read more

I found out about this place from LA Times. It got a great review for its Chinese bacon with garlic stems and one other dish I couldn't remember. I went there for kung pao chicken and chinese bacon and LA times was right. The price for lunch was reasonable too. $4-5 can buy you lunch special. I went back there few times and the food was not as good but it was still good. Recently I went with 3 other companions here and it was a disappointment for me. The food was not as good as before and the service was unbelievably rude. I never had problem with non English speaking establishments but don't force me to speak Chinese. The lady who took my order kept talking to me in Chinese. I kinda understood what she was saying and tried my best to communicate back to her using English, sign language and Chinese 101. She got mad at me because I wouldn't speak Chinese to her. My Chinese is pretty bad, I only speak the basic. She was friendlier to the other tables, especially the table next to me because the guy was hitting on her (in Chinese of course). Ordered: kung pao chicken, scallion pancake, sauteed string beans and chinese bacon with garlic stems. Kung Pao Chicken: not as good as the first time. 3 stars. Scallion Pancake: not that good. 2 stars. Sauteed String Beans: crunchy and sweet. 3.5 stars. Chinese Bacon with Garlic Stems: too salty 3 stars. Not sure I would go back there if the lady still worked there. Deerfield Garden is not as yummylicious as before!! read more

This place has been amazing during the pandemic. They sell really nice, thinly sliced meets for hotpot or kbbq at home. The meat is very fresh! The pastry things (salty or sweet sesame things) are really good too! The quality here is amazing :) My family usually buys a few pounds of beef and lamb at a time and separate them into smaller portions at home and freeze them, then take them out portion by portion to consume each time! We really appreciate the quality food and ingredients that this restaurant is serving during these tough times. Please support them and get some yummy hotpot for home! 10/10 recommend :D read more

Thinly sliced lamb is better than beef. Beef slices came with too much fat. You'd better plan to order ahead of time in order to avoid holiday crowds. read more

4 stars only because they give me the wrong meat when I asked for 3lbs of beef and I got 3lbs of lamb. You can call ahead just in case there's a wait. It's currently $28 for 3lbs of Beef and $26 for 3lbs of lamb. You can also use credit card now but I forgot what she said the limit is for credit card. Pretty affordable for hotpot night but make sure they got your order right and if you speak Mandarin, it'll help with communication. read more

This is specifically a takeout spot for slices of meat for hotpot. The beef is thinly sliced and is excellent for hotpot; also cheaper than other places. The beef tongue is tasty as well, definitely a place to visit if you're planning a home hotpot. read more

This place is THE PLACE to go to for sliced meat for your DIY hot pot/shabu shabu nights. They offer a variety of meats to choose from. You can get beef, pork, or lamb. I heard they also have deer meat? I'm not too sure about that. I got a small box of beef and it was only $13. They only have a small and large option. I believe it's only 1lb or 3lb. My small was very satisfying and more than enough for 2 people. It was also very delicious and not super lean. This place is CASH ONLY. Come prepared. read more

Our favor place for pre-sliced meat. Beef, pork and lamb at a reasonable price. They offer deer meat but don't want to risk it. The meat are fresh, you can tell by the hot pot soup doesn't have a clean up those bubbles flowing on top of soup compare to outside hot pot place. read more

This is my to-go spot to buy cheap raw slices of meat for hot pot. The location is a restaurant by day and a hot pot meat dealer by night. It's a little weird that you're buying raw meat at a restaurant, but just imagine it as takeout. The workers here only speak Mandarin and minimal English. read more

I've only been here to order sliced beef to go, NOT to dine in. Location: Deerfield Plaza with the Tokyo Fried Chicken restaurant, Hot Pot Hot Pot, and HOT Spicy Food: They offer sliced beef and lamb at 1lb, 1.5lb, 2lb, and 3lb. It's the perfect amount for hotpot gatherings with the family. Usually I get 1.5lb of sliced beef (a majority of the family does not like it) which feeds a family of 4 who loves meat. The sliced beef is nicely sliced, but still has fat here and there. For about $13, it's the perfect place for meat! Overall, this place does well with to go orders, however, the one con for that is it's cash only. The cashier lady refused to take my card until she realized I had to call my mom for cash. She rolled her eyes and said she'll take the card. read more

Really good quality lamb for hot pot. The service is great. I also got the fish balls, the best we've had. Will try the beef and other meat next time. read more
