A little disappointed. I'd rate Moo Moo 3.8/5, not quite four stars. The good - the wagyu selection is good, the buffet style side dishes and sauces are tasty and plentiful, self serve drinks available, ambiance is pretty and spacious place. We were seated easily. The okaaaayyyy - the floor is really slippery, for some reason they ran out of soup spoons and could only offer small plastic spoons, the positioning of the hotpot stove is a little awkward on the table, the seafood platter on the premium menu is gimmicky. All in all, glad I tried it but I think there are better places to try. read more

Great all you can eat Wagyu and seafood hot pot in Irvine. We ordered the option with the lobster and jumbo scallops (actually was half a lobster and maybe 2 scallops). Btw there's a one order lobster/scallop limit. The price actually included unlimited shrimp and I believe mussels and abalone (as opposed to the other option which charged for these seafood orders). For this I thought it was worth the extra $20. We stuck with the Wagyu and I believe ordered three rounds. The meat was pretty good and decent quality. Unfortunately you only get one broth option. And I ordered the bone broth which was super bland. Wish they would give a half and half option so you can try two different broths. Tom yum looked pretty good and apparently one of the more popular broths. You can change your broth but they do charge an extra $3. The vegetable station did have decent variety-bokchoy, Napa, noodles, broccoli, mushrooms. But wish they would be quicker on bringing the veggies out as I had to make several trip. Btw missing the bean sprouts that I love. Overall this place was ok. Wouldnt mind coming back but hopefully they'll be able to stalk the veggie stations more quickly. read more

Stopped by here for dinner with my girlfriends at 5:30pm on a saturday. There was no wait and the staff was quick to seat us. We went with the premium menu for $58.99/person. I have had a few wagyu hotpot's before and this place is my fav by far! Amazing selection for sauces (build your own sauce bar) but the sauce bar does have peanut sauce so there's is a possibility for contamination for those with a peanut allergy. The ambiance was super chill, we definitely took our time eating and enjoying the food, more yapping than eating but we were never rushed even though there is technically a time limit. As long as there is no one waiting and I believe they are very lenient with the time. The beef was very tender and the seafood platter was good, however we were not huge fan s of seafood in hotpot and we ended up not finishing the platter(they did have a cooked seafood option, but we did not chose it). I would for sure come back for the base tier option and enjoy foods from the hot bar, seems like the non-premium meats are also great quality! read more

Our experience with this place was awesome, we came near closing, so we had about 1hr 30min to eat. But luckily we came on a Wednesday so the rush just passed as we saw many parties finished eating. It was literally empty we had the place to ourselves! They explained the menu to us that the membership promo that's going to end this month.we decided to try the premium menu for the membership price. The service was very attentive and kept coming over to check if we needed anything. The meat quality was so good I could taste the distinct texture for each no problem.And an assortment of premium seafood (lobster, jumbo scallops, abalone and tiger shrimp) I ate the scallops raw and it was sweet like sashimi grade LOL. They had a full bar with side dishes with different foods (curry,chasu,tomato egg stir fry, Kung Pao chicken,and a bunch of cold meats and more) be careful bc that can make u fool! They offered unlimited specialty drinks and sodas and desserts as well. This only comes with the premium menus . The interior was clean and beautiful and service was very attentive and friendly. Overall I would say this place is great.Honestly even if you choose the non premium menu , it's still worth it because the bar food is all included and they also service some cold drinks (black tea, green tea, and yogurt drink). I would definitely come back again read more

Tried MooMoo Hotpot in Irvine and it was such a great experience! For $59, the AYCE hotpot felt totally worth it -- from fresh Wagyu beef, pork belly, chicken, lamb to seafood and endless veggies. The central food court offered salads, noodles, side dishes, and even desserts like ice cream. Every ingredient was high quality and super fresh. The restaurant itself was spacious and cozy, with attentive service that made dining easy and comfortable. It's not just about eating as much as you want, but about enjoying a fun, high-quality hotpot experience. Definitely recommend! read more

Came here to celebrate my birthday and they have two different prices for all you can eat. If you love seafood and better quality meat, the 59 dollar combo is a way to go, since my family doesn't like seafood as much as myself, we sticks with the 39 dollar one and it's still worth it! You got a lot of hotpot options and still get free drinks, cooked food, soup and desserts. Just keep in mind you only got 90 mins to eat and also kids under 8 is 40 percent off but above is regular price. They also offer elderly discount as well. In my opinion, I think it's worth it bc regular shabu place will be about 30 bucks per person. read more

Excellent customer services and they have variety of soup bases-to choose from. The veggie bar is very clean.

Came to MooMoo Hot Pot with my family during their soft opening so the AYCE prices were pretty good deals. The premium price that includes a wide variety of different kinds of seafood and meat + desserts was around $55 each person. The standard AYCE price that only has 6 kinds of meat (chicken, pork, beef) was around $40 per person. We opted for the standard price but even with the limited menu selection, the AYCE bar made up for it! From fried rice, black pepper beef, and multiple soups to iced tea and boba, the mini "buffet" was delicious. However, the buffet area was kind of cramped and was a little difficult to grab items since there's no designated line. The floors were also somewhat slippery which made it hard to hold plates and walk back. The service was okay, as the servers did their job and nothing over the top. read more

I recently visited and I had a great time! The meat selection for lunch was limited for cheaper tier but the quality was quite good. The self serve bar had amazing selection of sauces and don't let me get started with the warm foods. My parents could get full just by eating self-serve bar. I believe they are still in soft opening so amazing discount for weekday lunch. The soda is also self serve, and they are not from the fountain but the tin can. Quite different than what you would usually see. The service and the ambience is quite laid back. The restaurant is spacious enough to feel comfortable, a great setting for family and friends gathering. Also, uniquely, their restroom is super cute. Additionally, the staff is helpful and friendly. It was our first time and they spent their time to let us know about their restaurant and the differences between tiers. I had an amazing time taking my parents there and definitely want to go back and try the higher tier. read more

First time trying this place for their soft opening and my friends and I were quite delighted. We had their normal menu and the meats were fresh, their unlimited bar with veggies was also super fresh and replenished often. I like that they have a hot soup bar as well. I'd definitely go back! read more

I love Shabu Shabu. I love Wagyu meat. The meat is so good! I was looking forward to trying this restaurant and it didn't disappoint. The AYCE lunch option was under $30. To encourage you to fill up your appetite and eat less Wagyu meat, they have delicious hot plates. Crispy salted shrimps. Crawfish. Fried rice and garlic noodles. Three types of soups. The servers took their time to turn on the stove and bring me the broth I knew their tactics to get me to eat other foods. Usually I can resist but their hot foods are so amazingly good. In fact, I would pay just to eat their side foods buffet. There's only two beef options. I didn't want to waste my stomach on pork or chicken. The fattier meat was so good! Wow! And their sauce buffet was very complete. I love it! They have ver fresh vegetables and mushrooms. Their broth was very tasty as well. For Thinsulin fans, there's plenty of green light options. I will definitely come back here. read more

We booked a reservation for 5 people on the phone. They said it had to be 6 but just a few weeks before, when I called to book for 4 they said it had to be 5. They honestly do not have it together... Anyway, when we arrived, we were seated quickly which was nice but it went downhill from there. The host was also a server at some points and was incredible rude. After a long wait, we told her no one had helped us and that it was our first time. She looked irritated and didn't really explain how it worked. On top of that... they don't warn you that if you book a table, you must order the premium set $60+. This was not something I saw online and was not told this over the phone. She also said that of we walked in then we could have ordered the normal menu at $40 which we were planning. They even give you both menus when you sit. If they said that upfront, we probably would have gone somewhere else. Very deceptive and confusing. They didn't have enough servers and we had to keep flagging someone down to order multiple rounds of meat. We got the stir fried lobster option as well. It was a ton of heavy breaded deep fried lobster and seafood and not what we were expecting at all. This was the most horrible dinning experience of 2024 for me and I am still having hotpot PTSD from it. Not sure when I'll crave hotpot again. read more

I've tried soooo many hot pot places in the Irvine area, and I must say this one was the worse. I never post reviews, but after our 1st experience eating here with my husband, we left so disappointed. The broth was not tasty, the food in the buffet area did not look fresh, the juices/teas that they have in the machines were all empty. We decided to do the premium AYCE for $58.99 each. The little bowl of broth was not worth that price, along with the meats they bring. It was so disappointing. I love hot pot, and I was so sad that this was our experience. The restrooms were so dirty and disgusting. Unfortunately, we will not be back. Please save your money and go elsewhere. The current reviews are deceiving. Especially the pictures. read more

MooMoo Hot Pot - Wagyu short rib and pork belly - Hot Pot Near Me - Irvine, California

Solid hot pot place in general, but for the price I was expecting a tad bit more. Hot bar area is useless since the money is where the meat is (wagyu). Sauce bar is plenty but it's a pretty tight fit overall and hard to navigate when there's a ton of people. The floor was slippery in some parts so be careful depending on what type of shoes you have. On the bright side the soup is delicious (tonkotsu), meat was tender, and service was quick, friendly, and efficient. read more

Really good AYCE! Best we've had in Orange County. I'd say it's a good alternative to hai Di Lao if you want high quality hotpot without necessarily paying the hai Di Lao price. Their premium menu has a big variety and its personal hot pots which is nice. No wait on a Friday night! read more

We'd heard about the lunch special at MooMoo and were immediately intrigued. Finally, on a Friday at 4 PM, we made our way there and were seated right away. My husband and I each chose a soup base (Tonkotsu for him and Mongolian Herbal for me) before heading to the center of the restaurant to explore their self-serve station. There was a wide variety of hot foods, fresh vegetables, seafood, and noodles! To my surprise, they also offered free soda and specialty beverages, including Yogurt Drink, Jasmine Green Tea, and Lemon Black Tea, complete with toppings! The lunch special included four different meat options: Beef Short Plate, Beef Chuck Roll, Pork Belly, and Chicken. Our favorite was the chuck roll--it had just the right amount of marbling and was so tender after cooking in the broth. The food was excellent, though it sometimes took a little effort to get the servers' attention to order more since they were quite busy. Still, the overall experience was fantastic. This has to be one of the best hot pot lunch specials in the city, and we're already looking forward to returning. We finished off the meal with matcha and cookies-and-cream ice cream-- yum! read more

as a general oc foodie it's hard to find a great ayce shabu spot, this spot offers nearly everything you can find ranging from self serve sauce, appetizers, soups, drinks, and sides! the normal/lunch includes meats while the premium menu of 57$ includes seafood, wagyu, and existing meats from the normal menu. the general price difference is by 20$. i came on a saturday night two hours before closing and had no wait. there was a little than half of the room being full. service was quick and friendly! the one thing i did not like much is that the napa cabbage was hard to eat since other places cut it more so it's easy to consume better. highly recommend this place if you are in the area! P.S.A. YOGURT DRINK AND LEMON BLACK TEA ARE A MUST HAVE! (located at drink section on the right side of soups &appetizers) read more

Beautiful modern decor with a decent dining room size but very narrow hot bar buffet section like many other hotpot buffets. They offer two different menus: $37 AYCE without Wagyu meat or $59 AYCE with seafood and Wagyu selection. Drinks and desserts are part of the price and they have a good variety to choose from. Broth was delicious as I chose the sukiyaki. Brisket is always a favorite. read more

MooMoo Hot Pot - Perfect feast vibes. Fresh marbled beef, juicy crawfish, abalone, and hotpot all in one table -- absolute indulgence! - Hot Pot Near Me - Irvine, California

Our second visit. Plenty of options for us on the quality menu. But we'll come another time for the premium. Broth was tasty. I got the herbal and my husband likes the tonkotsu. Included tea or soda is nice, and a dessert choice of ice cream at the end. We have also been talking to a friend of ours that would like the crawfish on the hot bar. I had some of the shrimp and it was good. Plenty of people to help take your orders for more meat. Quiet both times we came, but both weeknights. Hidden spot- less busy than other places in Irvine. read more

Location is in Irvine North park, same plaza that has an Hmart. Plenty of parking available. There was no wait when I arrived here around 8 pm on a Thursday. I can see this place being popular. Did the premium menu. Comes to around $150 for two people. My favorite cut was the chuck short rib and the wagyu chuck roll. They have a large selection of soup bases. The hot bar was underwhelming, its mainly where you can make your sauces, get veggies, a few hot dishes and a drink bar. I love that they had a drink fridge where you can just walk up to and choose a beverage. The premium menu also gives you another exclusive selection of drinks to choose from but I preferred the soda drinks over the tea and yogurt drink selection. The restaurant itself is big and has a good amount of staff walking around. We also did the seafood platter. Presentation was beautiful but you only get half a lobster tail per person. I think the lobster and the abalone was probably the higher valued items. The dessert options were either cheese cake or ice cream. They were really good! I think this is a good place to come celebrate or bring you family here if you want to treat them out. read more

I love shabu shabu, and was looking forward to coming here on my birthday with the amount of good reviews I heard of all over social media... I would not come again. Servers seemed more attentive to parties who ordered more expensive menus (premium), but even then so disappeared for long periods of time to end up serving themselves for their own lunch breaks. No communication on if they were even going on break, or that our server was switching off for breaks. Maybe we came on a bad day. I want to give the benefit of the doubt, but surprisingly for 2pm on a Friday, it was not busy at all. At max 2 servers were going around after being waved down by tables who hadn't been attended to for a while. Ice cream was included in the price for our AYCE, but we decided to go straight to paying our checks and leaving. When it comes to customer service, please do better. It shows when your staff are only present to be standing around and eating on paid hours, and not to work. read more

MooMoo advertisement is misleading as they mention that they are known for wagyu; however, if you're not upgrading to the $60 a person all you can eat then the meat option are non-wagyu and honestly just really on the low side of average. They have a lot of options for broth and I ordered the "Thai Tom Yum" broth but it was NOT what I had imagined. The description does not mention anything about schezwan and the broth was schezwan flavored! Me being very sensitive schezwan and the numbness, I asked my server to change it but was charged $3 for the change. (On this note, the Customer Service was not great or accommodating at all.) I did notice that they let other guest at the other tables sample all the broth so I would highly recommend tasting the broth before committing to one. The hot food options were also based on schezwan flavor so I didn't try much of it at all. Everything was pretty salty and you couldn't really have too much of it. I would highly recommend this hot pot spot if you LOVE schezwan, but if you don't I would pass. read more

I went there recently over the weekend while I was in Irvine and the service was great. I came right around or the start of peak dinner hours but I was able to get seated very quickly. Our server she was so kind and accommodating as it was a our first time and gave us some amazing recommendations. The overall vibe of the restaurant is very nice and modern. We even saw this middle tree area that look like a bonsai and it was very beautiful and added to the vibe of the restaurant very elevated and classy. The meat quality I would would be a 4/5 I thought some cuts were very good and some other I would say just fell apart very easily so it was just a little disappointing. The toppings and food options at the self serve area was however very amazing and they had such a variety of options that it surprised me. From hot foods to soups to tea and boba evening boba topping and straws, sodas all included in the price so that was very nice. It was a little on the pricier side even for the basic menu. When we got to our table one of the cooker areas was broken so it didn't go above a 3 so we had to move and just slightly inconvenient. The team was very attentive and collaborative taking our finished plates very efficiently and quickly. The bathroom was also very modern and clean and beautiful so that's always nice to see. The ice cream was a nice touch but you can tell it's a little artificial flavor on the matcha but it gets the job done. Overall I had a good time there just if you're going for more budget friendly this is not the place but maybe for some kind of special occasion I think this would be a good place to go. read more

Amazing food and service! Their selection of meats and overall menu options were all high quality. Highly recommend their wagyu brisket, tongue, and short rib. Brisket has more of a beefy chew while the short rib just melts in your mouth. If you opt for the premium option, you get a huge seafood on ice selection with abalone, shrimp, lobster tail, scallops. Fantastic spot for hotpot cravings with flavorful broths. Servers were attentive and fantastic! Almost forgot their milk tea is amazing and it's unlimited! read more
