    First time trying Solo Hot Pot. The broths were flavorful and the selection of ingredients were well balanced.

    I like how for their malatang soup base you can adjust the spiciness. The broth itself is very flavorful to a point where you dont even need to dip your food in other sauces. I wish they had a bit more selection for meat. But other than that it was good. You can add a homemade lemonade for $1.49 which was pretty good as well. Definitely will be back

    Rebecca was our waiter and she was very sweet. The Malatang style is really good! I think sukiyaki broth was a bit too sweet than when I got it before. Overall definitely will come again!

    Solo Hot Pot is a small hidden hot pot place located in Diamond Bar. In the same plaza as the local bowling alley of Oak Tree Lanes. Plenty of parking and this place makes some delicious deep-fried chicken wings with tasty hot pots! This is pretty much a customized hotpot that they say does not contain msg! I love love the tomato broth and you can pick one protein, six varieties of vegetables, and also a carb. Service was good and this place actually tastes good.

    Came here once on a solo date and absolutely fell in love! I went back on another solo date and just as good as the first time. They charge by weight and you pay at the end. The self serve station begins as soon as you walk in and you work your way up through the selections to the register. It's a small little hole in the wall spot next to the bowling alley, most definitely worth trying! Plus, they're open late which is a plus when craving hot pot late at night like me!

    Location: Diamond Bar Blvd, inside a quiet strip mall plaza (plenty of parking). South of Temple Ave and North of the 60 freeway off of diamond bar blvd exit. Seating: Around 8-9 tables, good for small groups or solo diners. ‍ Service: Only one staff member working when I went, but she was friendly and attentive. Hotpot Style: a little different from the other solo pot restaurant. Each person gets their own pot. You choose your meats & ingredients, then cook them yourself--no overcooked food, no broth boiling over. I liked this style a lot. Overall: Chill weekday vibe, quiet atmosphere ( not sure if its a slow time or the area is naturally quiet) , and a solid 3.5-4 experience. Great spot if you enjoy solo hotpot without the rush.

    My new favorite hot pot spot! I've been here 3 times already and every visit has been consistently amazing. What sets Solo Hot Pot apart is the customization and clean, flavorful broths that don't leave you feeling heavy or overly thirsty. I genuinely appreciate that the soup tastes rich and satisfying without that MSG aftertaste. The ingredient quality is top-notch--everything feels fresh, and I love how thoughtfully they prep the veggies. Like the pumpkin slices: most places leave the tough skin on, but here they remove it so every bite is tender and delicious. That kind of attention to detail really shows. The tomato soup is my go-to--comforting and packed with flavor. I've also tried the tom yum and was shocked by how much it tasted like the real deal from a Thai restaurant. Super bold and tangy, in the best way. Their fried chicken and fried oysters are on point and come out nice and hot! If you love hot pot but want a healthier, fully customizable option, Solo Hot Pot is absolutely worth checking out!

    Miso broth is yummy with shrimp and vegetables.
    Briseis L.

    Cute little place with yummy food, and service along with great prices. Had the miso soup and the 1.49 lemonade that was not too sweet. Recommend either solo or with a crowd as this place is laid back with delicious food to boot.

    Came here right before our bowling rsvp. We were gonna go to another restaurant, but they kept delaying our place, so we no longer wanted to wait anymore. They have a long list of menu of all the broth, ingredients and condiments to make your own Malatang or hot pot. We were a bit overwhelmed, but we just went with it. They didn't tell us that for shared plate they would charge extra until we saw it ourselves on our bill. The food came out pretty fast and already cooked. So it's like boiling point, kind of, but lighter broth flavor. The interior is cute and they have wood divider between tables.

    New year, new menu. They now use a self serve/per pound concept
    Sennett L.

    Food is always delicious. Fair warning, their medium spice level is very very spicy. Mild is similar to medium at most other Asian restaurants. As of 2026, they changed to a self serve, by weight concept. For the same price, You definitely get less food now.

    Met my friend here for dinner around 8pm on a Friday. When we got there we got on the waitlist but it didn't look busy, there were at least 6 tables I saw open and no other ppl waiting so it was a little confusing. I'm guessing they were understaffed or didn't have enough ppl working to manage the tables there. It took us about 20 min to get seated so not ideal given the open tables. I like the format of the menu and the options and generally really affordable if you go for the most basic options. It starts at $13.99 for 1 protein + 6 ingredients + 1 starch + 2 condiments. However almost every item that I like cost extra. The sukiyaki broth was an extra $5, items like tofu skin shrimp, spam, tripe and bean curd were like an extra $2-$3 each. And they even upcharge for udon and ramen. I stuck with the most of the basics with the top blade and dashi broth but it can start to add up and you could easily end up spending $30 which is getting close to AYCE prices. Service was also not super attentive and we did not really get refills on water. The interior was clean and generally inviting. I would only come back if I wanted something super simple because the starting price point is really good considering, I just wish they didn't up charge so much for so many little things. $5 extra seems a little steep for a different broth base. The quality was decent and the vegetables were fresh.

    The organic miso broth is heaven!
    Kimberly R.

    The food was absolutely phenomenal. The service amazing. The price outstanding. The portions incredible. I wish I had found this place sooner, but thanks to Yelp for suggesting Solo Pot in my almost doom scrolling for something for dinner. It was so worth it. Absolutely delicious and so filling, and such a unique dining experience! We will absolutely be coming back to try the other broth option/varieties!! Love the checklist menu ordering!

There were some bites that were creamy and some bites that weren't. I honestly thought it could use more cream or butter to add some more richness. The pasta itself was al dente. There wasn't much flavor overall with the dish, and the mala was very mild (for reference, I can handle medium spice levels at other restaurants). The seafood quality was okay for the price.

    Absolutely TERRIBLE experience. Do not waste your time or money here…read more The moment we walked into Fu's Restaurant, it felt like stepping into a sauna. It was 79 degrees inside, muggy, humid, and completely uncomfortable. We almost turned around and left immediately. The place was practically empty, which honestly should have been our first red flag. We decided to give them a chance anyway. Big mistake. My colleague and I were offered water or hot tea. We both ordered hot tea. The menu clearly says in English that hot tea is $2.99. Nowhere does it clearly explain in English that you will be charged differently depending on how many people drink it. When the bill came, we were charged $5 each. Apparently, there is some clarification written in Chinese, but how are customers who do not read Chinese supposed to know that? That is completely misleading. The tea portions were not larger, not special, nothing different. Just basic tea. The pricing felt deceptive. We also ordered popcorn chicken and chili wonton soup. Both came out in tiny portions that looked like appetizers, yet the menu does not clearly label them as such. For what we received, paying over $30 total felt ridiculous. The food itself was mediocre at best. Nothing memorable and definitely not worth the price. Because of the uncomfortable temperature, confusing pricing, small portions, and average food, we chose not to leave a tip. As we were walking out, the waiter chased us outside and pressured us about the zero tip. That is completely inappropriate. Tipping is not mandatory. It is earned. Confronting customers outside over a tip is unprofessional and embarrassing. Between the heat, the questionable menu pricing, the small portions, and being confronted outside, this was one of the worst dining experiences I have had in a long time. We will never be back. There are plenty of better places within the same plaza than to dine here. I don't expect this place to last long anyway.

I also really appreciated the balanced portion control; it felt like just the right amount of food without being overwhelming. We were only ones in the restaurant near end of business on a Sunday night. Service speed was expected as cook to order. Definitely a good spot if you're looking for a simple and reasonable meal in Walnut or near Mt. San Antonio College. FYI photos are of the wall art, food was devoured.

It really depends on what you're in the mood for or what you're craving, but it will be sure to satisfy it.

But ambiance aside, this location is pretty much the same consistent high-quality that I've experienced at other Marugame Udon locations. I think pretty much everything on the menu sounds good, so whatever looks good to you, you should try. I personally love the curry udon. The tempura is great, and I enjoy the pumpkin one the best; however, the last time I went, they didn't allow you to pick the tempura in the cafeteria style line, which is a big part of the experience! We had to order the tempura at the register. They made it to order, which meant it was fresh, but by the time the tempura comes out, I was pretty much already done with the udon, so I can't enjoy the food together. Not sure if that was a one time thing, but if it is a permanent thing, that takes away from the fun and unique cafeteria style experience and makes this just like any other restaurant. But overall, this location is just good. There are a lot of other good restaurants in the Rolling Ridge plaza, but I would go here if I'm in the mood.
