This is one of the newer hot pot place near Ontario. The food menu is similar to BP which you get individual hot pot filled with meat , vegetable, tofu, seafood, and paired with rice or noodle. We ordered the beef pot and Taiwanese spicy pot, which both soups taste similar. The Taiwanese spicy only come in a large pot vs the regular beef pot. If your not into intestines, I would recommend picking the beef pot instead. The restaurant open during the unexpected pandemic, which must be really tough for the owner. The restaurant is open for takeout and few tables for out door seating. If your on the fence about trying this place out it's a good time as they have a current promo with free 24oz make your own boba tea for each hot pot ordered! They offer a variety of milk and non milk tea that you can mix to create your ideal taste. Make sure to let them know about your adjusted sweet level as the standard drink are more toward sweeter side. The topping include boba, grass jelly , egg pudding , aloe vera, clear boba , popping boba , rainbow jelly , and more. I'm not sure how much topping you can get but I mixed up to 4 toppings! Overall, I would rate this 3.5/5. But the service and promotion bump this up to a 4.5/5 . read more

Came across this new hot pot restaurant on Yelp and gave it a try. And I don't regret it at all! The staff was nice, the interior was clean, and the food was ready in minutes. I ordered the Taiwanese Spicy Beef Pot (large) and it tasted pretty good, flavorful broth, and ingredients were good. Although, I wished there were tempura and little bit more toppings, like the fish ball, fish cake, clams, etc. Overall, I liked what I ordered and will be back again to try other pots. read more

Service is great, she explained the menu clear enough and the price is fair. I ordered the combo stinky tofu pot with duck blood and a large make your own drink. The soup base it's good but their garlic bean paste is so good it's a must try! Will visit again if in the area. read more

This place has great food like the sukiyaki hot pot dish also they have really good tea and I really liked the food

Love this taiwanese style hot pot restaurant. My kids love their DIY boba drinks (they have all the toppings: boba, egg pudding, almond jello, lychee jelly, etc.) and DIY hot pot (mongolian bbq setup) or standard menu hotpots. I love their soups and sauces. My husband loves their AYCE rice. Service is friendly too. read more

Hot Pot Mini Workshop - FREE LARGE DRINK - Hot Pot Near Me - Ontario, California

See all

Food was good but not memorable. I would say boiling point is tastier . The drink available are super sugary you can see all the powder at the bottom of the base. Came home with a drink I didn't drink because it just wasn't good . I will come back and try a different broth . I got original and it was decent . read more

Food is great. Got the option to build my own hot pot for 9$9.99/lb. It also comes w a choice of rice or vermicelli noodles on the side! They also have build your own boba and the jasmine green milk tea was very good. Service was amazing, friendly and welcoming. Total for two hot pot and 2 drinks 24$, affordable and filling. Will definitely be coming here more often! read more

Owner is super sweet!!! I love that their boba is half priced with a full priced hot pot. You can make your own boba too . Packed hot pot, it was delicious! read more

Hot Pot Mini Workshop - Sukiyaki hot pot - Hot Pot Near Me - Ontario, California

Great hotpot and boba place. I especially love the build your own and they charge by the pound. At every hot pot place you get this filler cabbage to fill up your pot; well not here. You can fill your hot pot with things you enjoy eating. Another plus is they have duck blood and stinky tofu. We also tried their Taiwanese shaved ice. Very OG style and the portion was huge, definitely worth the money. read more

This is our go to hot pot place now. We've enjoyed all the different options we've tried and making your own boba is always a pleasant experience. read more

It's a highly recommended place to enjoy Taiwanese style mini hot pot!!! The portions are big, the soup base is flavorful you can tell they use a lot of fresh ingredients to make the soup. In fact during the pandemic, they offer deliver/pick up location to OC area, please contact them to find out more info. I just had the spicy duck blood stinky tofu pot, it sounds pretty scary for the name but if you know what I'm talking about, you will enjoy it 110% from this place. read more

Hot Pot Mini Workshop - Real name on menu: Spicy duck pudding pot w/ fermented tofu Drink name: Osmanthus oolong milk tea w/ boba - Hot Pot Near Me - Ontario, California

Found this place on Yelp. The other hotpot place was closed so I decided to try them. Customer Service was lovey. The Taiwanese lady who took my order over the phone was super nice, polite, and energetic. She shared with me about their drink special and there were lots of varieties to choose and you can add sides too. I got the Oolong Milk Tea with pudding. The pudding was delicious. Ingredients are fresh. Meat was tender but I agree with another customer that the meat can be more. Maybe because I ordered the Stinky Tofu so meats were not a lot? Next time I'll try their Beef Hot Pot. read more

Staff are very very attentive and have a warm welcome immediately. Hot pot base is good and the food selection is not bad

Recently tried their "build your own" hot pot option, & I personally found that this option caters more to my taste buds. I am not a huge fan of the "balls" varying from fish/pig blood, etc. My husband who normally steers away from any hot pot places also loved this option as well, since he mainly just wants broth/meat/bok choy/ramen noodles/hot dogs. Restaurant is very clean! And food was so delicious. read more

Food was delicious. Hot pot is literally. Very hot and you have to be careful not to burn your tongue. The only downside is the smell but Everything else is great. read more

Nearly every time I visit my girlfriend, we come here! The food and tea are consistently phenomenal-- I always have trouble deciding between the beef or curry pot, and the house or taro milk tea. I felt compelled to write a review because she is moving out of the area, and sadly we'll no longer be able to frequent this spot. We're visiting one last time on Friday. Thank you Hot Pot Mini Workshop! One of the greatest casual restaurants I've ever been to. read more

SOOOO YUMMY! i'm a picky eater so the build your own was an amazing option! Fast & friendly service! There were only 2 workers yet they manage to charge, sit, and take care of all your needs. LOVE the self serve boba classic jasmine milk tea for me read more

Very yummy hotpot & friendly prices for the amount! Yay!! My favorite is the taiwanese spicy hotpot and that one is pretty spicy (I can take jalapeño usually). I usually adjust the spice level to a medium and it's perfect! Also I love how they are doing a special promo to give free boba with a hotpot purchase. The bubble tea is surprisingly good too, especially considering this is a hotpot restaurant! You can adjust sweetness level and also customize toppings. :) The togo containers are sturdy too so I can microwave any leftovers for the next day~ I love coming here!! Definitely my goto hotpot place in Inland Empire. :) read more

Been coming here a lot. Their stinky tofu hot pot is really good. Service is good and place is cute and clean. Their milk teas are also really delicious. I wish there were other choices tho, other pots that I tried weren't very good. But I still keep coming back for the stinky tofu pot! read more

I took my girls to try out this place I heard about from a friend. I was quite a drive for us but I'm glad we went. We ordered 3 hotpot. I had the Spicy Duck Pudding Tofu Pot. My daughters had the Taiwanese Pot and the Seafood pot. It came out pretty fast. I was surprised at how much was in the pot. Everything tastes great. All three broths had lots of favor. Even my picky little eater enjoyed it! The boba station was a plus, my girls loved it so many selections. I will definitely return. Totally worth the drive. read more

One of my favorite hot pot spot. Ramen is flavorful, love that I can build my own, the boba is a plus, and amazing customer service.

The foods are amazing and authentic. And the staffs are very friendly. During pandemic they offer delivery service, the taste are exactly the same as we had in store. read more

So happy I went to try Hot Pot Mini Workshop for the first time today. I wasn't even sure the owners would serve us since there was only 30 minutes left before they closed, but they did! And boy am I glad they did because I will definitely be back again. The quality and the customer service far surpasses the other hot pot places in the area, personally. I had their self-serve hot pot with tomato soup base. The tomato soup base was rich and flavorful. Definitely worth trying if you like tomatoes. I particularly enjoyed the self-serve option because I don't always like the stuff a lot of places put in pre-made pots, and it seems so wasteful to throw it away. I was able to mix beef with fish, and I added as much crab sticks as I wanted. Everything looked fresh and clean. I also got the guava green tea, and it tastes just like those awesome juice boxes you get out of 7-Eleven in Taiwan. Looking forward to when I can go again. And SUPER happy they decided to open their cute restaurant in the Inland Empire near my house. Yippeeee! read more

The hotpot are absolutely delicious. I used to go to boiling point and this place is way better. I will keep visiting this place and I'm happy that I found this place. read more

Their service is superb! There was a car accident on our way to pick up the food, and we would arrive after their business hours. so we called to inform them that we would be late to pick up the meals. They told us that's okay and drive safe. That really makes us feel relieved. Food is amazing, too! We will definitely come back for their spicy duck blood cake hot pot! The portion is large enough for me and my husband. Be cautious! It's spicy! The drink is included when you order a hot pot. The cup is much larger than it looks from the pictures on Yelp. It's at least 700ml. read more

Omg! So first off, if you look at my Yelp review history, I only do it if the food was amazing, amazing customer service, or if I'm really satisfied with a product, so long story short, I eat at a lot of places but don't always review, unless my mind is blown, which I know I should also review places that aren't so great lol Nonetheless, I was getting gas and saw the Hot Pot Mini Workshop, thought I'd give it a try. I walk in and the lady was very helpful and gave me some recommendations. I ordered the Seafood Pot and the Sukiyaki Pot. It was a plus because I got two free boba drinks :) Anyway, I take it home (takeout thanks to COVID) to my wife and we start eating, and let me tell you, BOMB!! The seafood pot was so tasteful, great seafood taste and the Sukiyaki pot was excellent too!! I added the tree different sauces that are given to you (sorry I am not sure what the sauces were lol) but please please, keep this business alive and make your purchase today!! You won't be disappointed!! I do apologize for not having any pictures, I honestly wasn't expecting to be sooo impressed. Best believe, we didn't waste a drop! So good. Thank you for the amazing tasting food Hot Pot Mini Workshop!! I'll be back in a few days ;) read more

First time here, lady was very helpful. I built my own hot pot at the front and it was good. I reccomend you get mild spicy if you like spice because it was already pretty spicy for me and I have a good tolerance against spice. read more

there has been few taiwanese mini hot pot restaurants open around the area but i have to say this one is worthy trying. the meat quality is great, and the soup base is really delicious, the overall quality is very top notch. I would highly recommend anyone who shops in ontario mill will definitely pay this place a visit to try out their hotpot. read more

This place is right next to my work place, the flavors are really good. In general the taste is better than boiling point and other places I visited around this area. However the meat portion can be improved a little since place like mj cafe near by offer way more. I would definitely get them as take out and just add more meat and toppings at home. I hope they stay in business and survive this pandemic, it would be a shame if they go under. read more

This place is so cute! I got the pre-set Taiwanese spicy pot and it was delicious. It was enough for 1.5 meals for me. One heavy meal and one small meal (although I'm not a huge eater). Love that the flame automatically goes out at such a good time during the meal (towards the later end). Service was so friendly. I didn't even realize they have shaved ice until I went to write this review and saw photos, so I definitely have to try it next time! Will be coming back for sure. read more

this place is amazing! i have nothing bad to say about this restaurant. i got to build my own hot pot bowl and put the ingredients i wanted from a variety of items. i also got to choose which broth i wanted. i got the taiwanese spicy and my boyfriend got the spicy satay, and both soups were delicious. the worker suggested those broths and it did not disappoint. i forgot to take a picture of the food cause i was too excited haha i love the idea of customizing your own mini hot pot bc i usually don't like everything provided in the set menu. they also have a build your own boba bar so we decided to get it after our meal. i got the regular milk tea and my boyfriend got the oolong milk tea! there's not many great asian restaurants in the city of ontario but this one is a gem. very worth to check out :) i will definitely be coming back! staff is super friendly, great food, lots of parking, super clean and sanitary! read more

Second time here and I was a bit disappointed. The menu has good variety of selections compared to other Taiwanese hot pot chain. However, the build-your-own pot, which i came back to try, needs to be better executed (or perhaps reviewed). Vegetables are not fresh/clean. Serving utensils are all placed in a "new" bucket but no "used" utensils basket/holder. Staff was unfamiliar with the pricing and unable to make customers aware of their self-service policy or best practices, including food weighing, until late in the process. YMMV but overall I would stick with menu items if asked. read more

Excellent food and exceptional services. Unique taste of traditional Taiwanese cuisine with different varieties selection of tea and drink.

Delicious hot pot The pot comes with lots of fresh ingredients and the soup base is really flavorful but not overpowering. Stinky tofu pot and spicy duck pudding tofu pot both have really authentic Taiwanese flavors. Drinks are great as well with just the right amount of sweetness. Highly recommend!! read more

I did take out for the beef hotpot and it tasted pretty good. It also came with a free drink, so I got the black tea, it was way too sweet for me, I don't think you can adjust the sugar level but that's okay. The staff was super nice/helpful when I called to order and pick up. read more

So happy a hot pot place like this popped up locally! And I love that you can make your own milk tea, definitely coming back!

I was super excited to try this place but was extremely disappointed with their poor service. When I ordered the signature pot I specifically told the waitress i want regular tofu NOT stinky tofu. When i got my pot they did not change out the tofu. So i asked the waitress if they can remove the stinky tofu and just give me regular tofu she told me they don't have regular tofu which was a lie. There are few other pots with regular tofu. I got up and paid for my "Free" drink and will never return to this place again. Not to mention when i sent my pot back i waited almost 15 minutes!!! How long does it take for them to change out the tofu??!! This owner need to re-evaluate the level of customer service. read more

Very bad service, Cashier took wrong order for Us and she admit that it was her fault. and she told the person that work on the kitchen to change out our order but they refused it. It was very bad service, and becarefull with their "All You Can Ear Rice" yes only the rice that was all you can eat Lol read more
