Seared Salmon Miso
Gear S.

Once again I have to leave a stellar review for Hot Pot Heaven and all its crew! The newest edition to the store itself is the addition of a sushi bar! They now offer all types of sushi Sashimi, Rolls, Nigiri, and Poke/Donburi! Their specials are so amazing! The seared salmon miso was absolutely fantastic!! The sheer freshness of this sashimi with the taste of the miso, fresh tomato, and strip of shiso leaf bring a sweet yet savory flavor profile that tantalized the palette! (So much so I got 3 orders!) and for the price it was greatly affordable! Even the scallop ponzu made me smile while taking a bite! I'd highly recommend the entire sushi menu if I could but I can only comment what I ate for the time being. With the flavors of sushi we then moved to the hotpot itself which as always comes in a vibrant deeply umami broth! Adding fresh ingredients that are readily available in coolers nearby make for a quick cooking experience that helps fill that empty belly and allows you to enjoy your time with family or friends! The restaurant is small but quant! The staff are amazingly attentive and the flavor profile is worth coming back for over and over! More so as we get into the colder days of the year! I highly recommend checking this place out and I'm sure you won't be disappointed! I will be back many MANY times I can assure you! They deserve more attention and business so please spread the work and support this local business!

Our selection of meats and veggies

I love this place! The food is awesome and I love the all the veggies and extras that you can grab from the fridge and the protein selections. The broths are always delicious and the selection of sauces are superb! The service is always quick and friendly and the atmosphere is just right. We tend to go when it's not busy so it's just a nice relaxing place to grab a bite. I always get the kimchee broth which gives me like a real sundubu feel! I also always get the lamb which I don't think you can find at a lot of hotpot places and that's why I love it! However my favorite thing is always the meatballs that you kinda make or portion yourself and the house made shumai! Always a crave worthy place to go. The only downside is that the restrooms are outside and upstairs.

Today I got to try the Hot Pot and it was very tasty. Also, the service was very friendly and helpful.

Vegetables, noodles, and other miscellaneous items

Amazing food and service! Located in McCully Shopping Center, there was ample parking. I came here with 2 friends and sat down immediately with no reservation. You start by ordering your broth and meats. We got the Thai broth which was delicious! It was acidic and a little sour which made it refreshing and easy to eat. As for meats we tried the ribeye, pork belly, and brisket. Each portion was a decent size. Everything else can be grabbed from the fridges and DIY sauce bar. There was a variety of vegetables and starches with classics like cabbage and unique items like bitter melon. We loved the quail eggs and Korean rice cakes! Such a fun and delicious experience we will definitely be back again!

My first time with hot pot food. The broths were so flavorful and light. And the add ons perfectly enhanced the food. I will definitely be back whenever I'm on the island.

Another fabulous dinner at Hot Pot Heaven! 10 freshly made broth to choose from. Lots of items to cook... everything so fresh and tasty and great service refilling the broths and water. So healthy and yummy!

Canh Chua broth / Tofu broth
Elizabeth K.

A long time go-to spot for hot pot. The owner and staff are always so nice and courteous. Very family-friendly and accommodating of our little one. Pretty standard selection of veggies and meats. All the broths are tasty; Canh Chua is my fave. House sauce is a must for dipping. Quick service and pretty affordable. Sure we could spend a little more somewhere else for AYCE but there's nothing like eating at a family owned business where you feel welcomed and never rushed to enjoy your meal.

Beef and Chicken Broth Bowl, pick your own protein; Follow me @Rimyeats
Amy Z.

This was an impromptu visit as we wanted to eat something that was walkable from our Airbnb. This spot had good reviews and I'm one to want vegetables so hotpot is a great way to have it. We ordered the chicken and beef broth and we loved the chicken one. My husband loved the chicken so much he got a refill so he could cook another udon in it. We got two proteins, udon, some fish tofu, shrimp paste, quail eggs, sausage, and bok choy. We loved how you got to choose everything except the main proteins. I loved how you could see the portions and don't have to overorder. We paid around $92 for the two of us which was a little more expensive than I would like but overall the experience was great. The staff were so so friendly and there is a parking lot for you to park. We were staying close so we were able to walk.

Tom yum broth. Yes, we're the type to dump everything at once except for leafy greens.
Amy L.

My viet mom loves this place so it's a big deal. Clean and fridge is always filled. The broth options cater to the southeast Asian palette. Our fave broth is the tum yum. Not too spicy and mellows out when you start putting ingredients in.

Thai Broth Bowl
Sandy M.

This is our favorite unassuming hot pot place on the island! Nothing too fancy, but great tasting food and very reasonable prices! All the broths are great choices, but our favorites are Tom Yum (Thai) broth and Miso. All the veggies and sides are very fresh and well prepared! Shout out to Loc as our server! He really went above and beyond to make sure our large family was well taken care of! Don't forget to get a punch card when you go in!

Hot pot dinner is about the experience of choosing, cooking and conversation. You sit down, code a broth, meats if you like, and all the wonderful add ons. Veggies, noodles, tofu, While we waited for our broth, I chose sauces to dip my food in. You can get as creative as you like, I make a hot sauce and a soy based sauce. I like to slowly add ingredients in so that I am not rushed to eat everything at once. We had a good meal and it was especially good since we have been having a cool spell here. We got in early after making a reservation on the phone. The restaurant is clean and simple. Not a fancy place. Try it. enjoy!

Noodles, dumplings, etc
Charity L.

Their broths have a lot more flavor than other chain hot pot places. My favorite is the Thai broth! They have a large assortment of vegetables and ingredients to add to your hot pot. Only this is that it can get a little pricey because everything is ala cart. Expect to spend $40-$50/person if you're coming in hungry. Totally worth it on some occasions! They also offer take out sets if you want to enjoy hot pot in the comfort of your own home!

I heard they will keep this space for special events. The restaurant is quite busy and I'm glad we had reservations. Good thing I was there prior to lunch hour opening, otherwise we may lose our reservations since the person who made reservations tends to be habitual in arriving late. We dined in May, but it's been awhile since I first dined here. I preferred dining in Chinatown during lunch time than at dinner. Our waiter was really nice and helpful. I forgot his name, but I remembered that his eyeglasses that he wore was cool/funny, since the frames for each eye didn't match the other eye! lol. Funny it wasn't me who first noticed it. One was square frame and the other was a round frame! The restaurant doesn't do anything special for birthdays except may write Happy Birthday in chocolate on the dessert plate that you purchase for the birthday person. Their desserts are unique and refreshing. I think there are some rotating desserts /flavors like their seasonal menu for their main menu. I guess you can always keep coming back without being bored of the menu! I was bummed to see a previous dish posted of a pasta that I wanted to try that wasn't on the current spring seasonal menu! When we dined for brunch over the weekend, I was able to get the Hainan chicken with the crispy roast pork combo. It was very filling , tasty and satisfying. I do love ginger sauce on the cold ginger chicken but sometimes the chicken is just okay. This Hainan chicken was really good and the chicken was really moist! I thought it was the best I've tried! It was good that I wanted to takeout one last time in August before they moved! No more the 50/50 combo with the crispy roast pork on the lunch menu during the weekday. It was on the spring menu. Of course it's best to eat it in the restaurant than for take out. Bathroom is a must for me when dining out and they had only one shared bathroom for everyone! There was a guy who tried to make several attempts but wasn't successful, since there was always someone in the restroom. I'm glad the waiter told me there was a bigger separate bathroom with several stalls for men and ladies upstairs. You go straight through the kitchen to catch the elevator and to another kitchen /storage area! Thank Goodness! Best wishes at your new location. You offer yummy and tasty food!

Today I decided to order takeout- I don't feel like dining in alone and wanted to just chill in my apartment w/ my dinner. Pro tip- call in your order. Try not to use deliver apps, even if selecting 'pick-up' because their prices (like every other restaurant on delivery apps) tend to cost a dollar or more. Upon calling in my order, the lady said it'll be ready in 5mins. I thought that was a high expectation, but I've dined in before and we also don't wait long for our orders to arrive to our table. I arrived to their restaurant maybe about 7mins after calling and Lo and behold, my order was ready for pickup already Pro tip- ask for their pickled garlic.

I ordered what most people recommended - the roast pork, with egg noodles and won ton, and the broth on the side. So yummy! And the staff are really nice and friendly. Only thing is the place is so small so there may be a wait. But everything was really tasty!

The food is authentic and super delicious; the pho broth is the best that I have tasted, very clean and no msg (at least I can't tell). We have tried a lot of the menu items throughout the years; our favorites are: - combination pho - rare steak and meatballs pho - oxtails soup/pho - grilled pork chop rice - crispy spring rolls - summer rolls - beef salad (my wife's favorite, she orders it every time) - roasted pork and lemon grass chicken banh mi sandwiches - roasted pork and spring roll vermicelli bowl - the special combo wrap (very tasty but you have to wrap it yourself; some may think it is fun, but I am lazy and prefer to have it made and ready to eat) The prices are very reasonable, they haven't raised the prices much even when the food cost keeps going up. I believe they have some deserts, but we have never tried any, because their portion sizes are generous and we're usually too full to think about deserts. Park is s street parking, but we usually park in the municipal lot across the street. The rate is very reasonable, a couple dollars for a couple of hours. It is credit card only; there is no parking attendant, you pay using the paid machines in the middle of the lot or at the gates. I hope you will give Saigon a try, I think you will love it too.

When we arrived, we were the first guests so got to pick our table. When we sat down at the pretty wooden booth, there was a happy hour menu on the table. What?!? And YAY!! There was a 2-for special on the cocktails and you could select from the full menu which featured an extravagant and eclectic selection. There were wine and beer specials too but we were here for the cocktails. From the happy hour menu, we ordered the vegan spring rolls, chicken wings, and the Bo Ne Steak--a Vietnamese breakfast with bone marrow, cubed steak, sunny side eggs and a baguette. I can vouch for the spring rolls, light and crunchy without being oily. I don't eat land animals but my friend said the wings were divine. And they give you gloves to eat them. So civilized (ha) and a nice touch! She loved the bone marrow and steak. There was so much food she didn't finish it so I took it home to the hubby who devoured it. No complaints and only smiles from him! I wanted to try a couple pescatarian dishes from the regular menu so ordered the lemongrass clams which was AH-mazing! Could have been my favorite dish of the night because the flavors were unexpected but undeniably good. And, the garlic salmon bun (vermicelli noodles) was fantastic. The fish was cooked perfectly and the sauce was savory yet light. I've never seen this option at any other Vietnamese restaurant and it certainly elevates the traditional dish which usually comes with meat, tofu, or spring rolls. (You can still order the bun with these options and they let you choose your protein combos.) Finally, (I told you there was a lot of food) we ordered the banana blossom salad. I rarely see this offering at other Vietnamese restaurants. It's hard to describe but I refer to this dish as the red-carpet version of the green papaya salad. It's more dressed up and sophisticated. A real treat and a must-have if you're dining at An Di Dzo. Parking was easy since it's at Ward (by the theaters or you can park anywhere in the village). The restaurant is clean and modern. And the service was courteous and professional. Our server Alex was great and made the evening extra special. An Di Dzo is open for lunch and dinner. They also offer some vegan options so I'll be back. Hubby enjoyed the leftovers so much he wants to give it a dine-in try. You don't have to ask me twice! Highly recommend you give them a try, too.

I'm Vietnamese and it was a very affirming and comforting experience for me when so many other Vietnamese folks came first thing in the morning to get their grub at Thuong An Lac. That's when you know you've found THE spot. Major Recommendations: -Viet Iced Coffee (prob the best you'll find on island easily) -Beef Stew + Baguette (so HEARTY. I've had both vegan and non vegan beef stews and it's spot on) We loved everything we got there. The water they serve you has pandan in it and tastes very very good. I still think about it!!

The restaurant is on the smaller side, so it may not be able to accommodate larger groups. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. As someone who loves noodle soup, I appreciate being able to enjoy such a satisfying meal while knowing it's entirely plant-based. I'll definitely be back!

My order…read moretook well over 20 min; as I waited there, multiple notification tones rang throughout the restaurant, it's annoying. When I placed my order, I told the woman, "no cilantro" on anything. When I received my order, the soup was missing. When the woman brought the soup, I said again, "no cilantro." She said, yes. I paid and left. When I got home, I opened the salad and noticed a pile of basil and what appeared to be cilantro. It tasted like cilantro, too. So, I went back to the restaurant to return my order, as I no longer wanted any of it. When I got there, the woman told me that isn't cilantro, it's "culantro." She said she would refund my salad, but not the sandwich and proceeded to argue with me that she was doing me a favor because the salad did not have cilantro, even though she very well knows they taste the same. In any case, I left my entire order and was only refunded for the salad. I will dispute with my cc company. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE
