TLDR - AYCE HOTPOT. Good selection of vegetables, noodles, and soups. Adequate meat…read moreselections.Cooking can be slow. Great price! AYCE HOTPOT HAS FINALLY ARRIVED IN VENTURA COUNTY! Asians in ventura county know hot pot options are slim pickings. AYCE hotpot? A first that im aware of (tasty used to be preset bowls) Loved being able to choose different broths and put whatever noodles, veggies, fish balls, tofu, etc in my pot. Staff friendly, clean restaurant. Who doesn't love AYCE hotpot? My only con is the pots used to cook your items arent very fast. The fire will die and youll need an employee to start it up. Id be cautious of ordering chicken or youll sit there for at least 10 minutes making sure its cooked all the way. If tasty pot can fix this, I think it'll improve the overall experience. I still love the overall experience and will be back multiple times this year. Side note - People used to 626 or OC ayce hot pot may be a little disappointed (no free drinks or hot food bar).

The broth was good. I got the Taiwanese but my gf got the Thai broth and that one was better (and spicier). All the ingredients were very fresh and it was a solid value for the money. The server was attentive as well.

Was driving by on our way to some other restaurant when my partner insisted we pull in. From the…read moreparking lot we could see only one table with a two people, but a large, happy looking, family was exiting with arm fulls of to go bags so we decided to chance it, my partner especially excited for hot pot. We let the group pass us and entered the restaurant. We were promptly seated at a corner table and given menus. It did take a bit for the server to come back to take our order, but we did realize we came in 1/2 hour before closing, so we eased off a bit. My partner order the hot pot and was very happy with his choice. The server came back with a hot plate and instructed us how to cook the meat. I was a bit apprehensive about having to cook my own food, but the fragrant smell as it cooked changed my mind. The broth was flavorful and the veg and meat were tender as they soaked up the soupy goodness. I also ordered the boa buns and the pillowy texture, mixed with the soft pork and crunchy cucumber and carrots made my belly sing. We slurped up our food and cleared out as quickly as we could. I hate being that person that lingers at closing time. What I do regret is that I did not take more time at their counter as we exited because it was full of snacks and curios that I love. Next time for sure!

The wings were a little sweet for my taste but I won't fault them for that. They were perfectly cooked and glazed to perfection. The service was extremely nice and hooked me up with some chili oil when I wanted my Khao Soi to have a little more of a kick. The ambiance is nice and is great for a casual date night. Pro tip: Try out the sunrise mocktail. It's deliciously refreshing.

The broth was rich, no shortage in all the proteins, and noodles were great. Also came with fresh basil, lime and bean sprouts and that made the pho even better. Service was great. We were always checked on and asked if we needed anything additional to our dining experience. Family ran and you could feel the genuine hospitality in the service. The had the TVs with the FIFA games on which was entertaining and if you want to sit outside they have patio seating available with umbrellas. They also have bar seating and table seating. The vibe is more a "to go", so no silverware and plates. It's all "to go" utensils and plates which I find convenient. Overall loved the experience and super happy to have Quality Vietnamese food in town.

Our favorite dish was definitely the pineapple fried rice full of flavor and really satisfying. The pad see ew and curry were good as well, but the edamame was our least favorite since it lacked seasoning. Overall, the food was decent, and the restaurant filled up quickly right when they opened at 5pm, which says a lot about its popularity. The service was amazing very kind and attentive and the atmosphere was quiet with a nice, cozy decor. I'd come back again, especially for that pineapple fried rice!

Never got to try the boba but they looked really good on the pics. They also offered lots of different flavors like ube and matcha!

Was super excited for this place, as their menu on yelp listed lots of vegan options. About half…read moreour party was vegan, so we were super disappointed to find out that they apparently changed the recipe so the tofu was no longer vegan. In fact, it's not even vegetarian, as they add fish sauce. My wife ended up having the pho (their only vegan option) and it was fine. I hoped at least the BBQ pork Banh Mi would slap, since it's right there in the name, but was disappointed again. It was as if they learned everything they know about Vietnamese cuisine from a dollar store cookbook. BBQ pork tasted like 90s mall teppanyaki, Thai tea was fine, but the boba was undercooked and crumbly in the center. The guy behind the counter was nice enough, and I appreciate that he was knowledgeable about the ingredients. Would maybe give them another shot if they had vegan options for the fam, but as it stands we're taking this place off our list
