Veggie set
Ha L.

This place is kind of new but I am so impressed of the great quality and customer service. Price is super reasonable, quality of great, portion is huge. These are multiple meat cut options, which all are tender /(shabu shabu grades). The broths are mouthwatering, I really love the taste which I had to to-go the leftover. Highly recommended and will bring my friends and family here to try.

Premium wagyu ayce option was quality meat. definitely better meal than the last shabu place I went to. The presentation is hard to beat and everything was freshly sliced. Lamb, beef, and pork for the win.

Special house broth

My boyfriend and I wanted to try a new place and give it a shot. We saw the old menu on yelp and was surprised it was ayce instead. We ordered the premium menu. Aesthetically pleasing and peaceful environment. The server was attentive. The food quality was not there unfortunately. I'm currently experiencing food poisoning and will not be coming back

Amazing. They have flavorful housemade broth made by the owner. The nice server who serve us told us that the owner made their broth included sauce. It was tasty and doesn't feel too greasy like many place. Clean and thoughtful. On all table has utensil and 75% alcohol wipe. Service is amazing. Our server keep checking on us and doesn't made us feel that we have to rush eventho they are closing in a few mins. He was kind and polite. I feel bad that the highest option for tip is only 20%. So I left more in cash cuz he truly deserve it. Parking is easy. ** This is not all you can eat place. It's a set menu but plenty of food. Recommended!!!

The "golden set" Shabu

We went here with a couple of friends to celebrate and the meal set was pretty good. We got the Wagyu set which was ~$180 and was able to feed 4 people with it. The presentation was good and the broth and meat quality were amazing as well. The place was a little short staffed on a Monday night , there was 1 other table there at the time and the server seemed to be stretched already. However I would be concerned if they had anything more than 1-2 customers at a time with how long the wait time would be. With that being said, the server we had was great and checked in pretty often to help clear the table as we were finishing off the plates of meat.

Got the autumn set it's enough food for four medium-sized people. The place is clean with a ton of space. Highly recommend checking it out.

1 extra volcano beef from the current promotion. We are lucky :)
Maika T.

Foods are good, and lots of foods for the set of $75 for 2 people. They are running promotion right now ( buy any set get an additional 1 volcano beef for free). Services are extraordinary, the young male is super friendly. We are very happy with his service. Their music are not so loud. Cons: I ordered the wrong broth, I wish they have the picture of the broths so I would not causing any confusion.

Gud food, the meat slice is quality and thick. Tomyum soup base is more sweet than sour a lil bit that tbh not that bad. Server was friendly and attentive. They should do more decorations tho. Will come back!

Beef is fresh and tender. Tonkatsu soup is wholesome and tasty with the bones cooked overtime according to the nice lady owner.
Phuc N.

Overall great restaurant and nice service. There's also crawfish but we were so full so it will have to be next time. The hot pot experience is excellent. We like how the soup is tasty but not too strong. The beef is very fresh and tender.

Golden Cow

The golden cow was sooooo worth it! Had a lot of good quality wagyu. Customer service was good as well. Friendly environment will definitely be coming back

Hotpot

We came to this place first time to check out the new hotpot restaurant. The food are very good with high quality meat . The present are amazing , customer service was very good too . We definitely come back

Excellent broths with incredible flavor. Loved the herbal broth and split bowl. Get with udon.

Three names. Jun, K and Cesar…read more Those were the three that attended/ interacted with us. My family and I would like to them thank them for the great hospitality and service. Jun explained the menu and the process of ordering and made the whole experience easy as we do tend to get nervous trying new spots to eat. K and Cesar were both friendly and had such great approved energy. Cesar made sure to name each meat and also pointed out to which meat went to the hot pot and grill. K refilled our drinks and made sure our broth never went empty. He made such a great impression on checking up on us and instantly took empty plates away and helped with making sure our food was cooking well when we were too preoccupied with eating our other food. It was our first time here and we are happy to say we will be coming back! Great place for hot pot and kbbq along with yummy sides and steamers/dumplings! I had the tonkatsu broth with brisket and pork belly with a bulgolgi for bbq and the kimchi dumplings. Delicious! The family and I loved the way you can also grab Buldok ramen and Shin ramyun (those are the ones we grabbed and they do have other selections available!) and you can help yourself to the fresh vegetable bar. The broth was exceptional delicious and the quality of meat is unmatched. I've tried other hot pot places and DPot has surpassed them all.

When you arrive, be sure to put yourself onto the waitlist. The wait time was minimal even on a busy weeknight dinner hours. We got so many types of sliced meat, steamed meat, and toppings. Everything I tasted was absolutely delicious and worth every penny. The waiter who served us was polite, attentive, quick to notice details, and rectify. At no point did I wonder where my order was or needing something else and having to wait. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend dPot to anyone I know in the area.

Mokkoji in Cypress is hands down one of our favorite spots! We come here pretty often, and every…read moresingle time the experience is consistently amazing. The food is always fresh, high quality, and so delicious, you can really taste the care that goes into everything. Our go-to order is the pork broth with the flat iron magoji cut marinated (you HAVE to get it marinated, it adds so much flavor to the soup). It is seriously so good, and my son is absolutely obsessed with it. We also love the pickled garlic, it's so yummy and the perfect addition. The service is just as incredible. Catherine is our absolute favorite, she is so attentive, kind, and always makes sure we have everything we need without even having to ask. She truly goes above and beyond and makes the whole experience feel warm and welcoming. Everyone there is so nice, and the overall vibe is just great. It's become one of our go-to places, and we always look forward to coming back. Highly recommend if you're looking for amazing food and even better service!

If I want high quality Japanese style hot pot, this is my spot. There are places where you can get…read moreAYCE (Momo Paradise) and there are places that you can pay $$$$ for AYCE Wagyu (Mikiya, Wagyu House, X Pot), but I like that this place has quality meat options for $$$. My go to order is to get a "special for 2" of their "share beef set" to share with my wife. She likes the Spicy Pork Broth and I like the Spicy Sukiyaki. It's Japanese spicy, so it's more flavorful than spicy. If you want real spice, then you could ask the server for extra spice and they'll use a medicine dropper to add a few drops of serious heat into your sauces. In our shared meal, we prefer their marinated "toro fatty belly" and it comes with a huge order of meat, 2 pints of draft beer, an appetizer, and ice cream ($87 for two persons). If you choose a nice, fatty cut, then you will be pretty satisfied with the meat quality. My reasoning for this being 4 stars rather than 5 stars is that if you were to choose the wrong type of meat or if you don't order enough meat, then your experience will likely be suboptimal. Apparently, you can get refills on the veggies, so I'll try to ask for that next time! What I love about Mokkoji, however, is that the quality and value that I get with the special is ample for two and it's delicious!

I had my doubts about a shabu spot located in Huntington Beach of all places, but ended up here for…read morea work lunch and was pleasantly surprised. Each person gets their own individual pots and they have a variety of broths to choose from. If you're not too sure which broth you want to commit to, they'll give you a small sample to help you choose! I ended up with the Chinese herbal broth and it went nicely with the goma and ponzu dipping sauces. They have a self-serve bar for sauces, vegetables, raw seafood, and even sushi! The sushi was surprisingly good for an ayce shabu spot and there were 4-5 roll options to choose from. I love that each table has a screen to order drinks, appetizers, meats, and desserts because it made the whole dining experience run so seamlessly (especially for our large group) and we weren't left waiting for any food to come! The only downside is that the premium lunch option doesn't include wagyu, so I'll have to come back for dinner.

Broths are very bland. I tried the spicy miso and the regular miso and both are bland compared to…read moreother places. This sucked since when cooking the meat, you're forced to eat it with sauce or some type of dipping which I don't usually do. Service was fine, came by to grab the empty plates, immediately brought out our meat, and made sure we had water. As for the interior, it's really nice inside! Overall, I'd probably only go here for lunch but besides that, I'd go somewhere else.

Post COVID, outdoor dining that actually welcomes your fur babies has become so incredibly rare that any spot doing it right deserves all the flowers. Mokkoji does it right. Our pups were so happy and so were we! Beyond the dog friendly outdoor setup, the food is genuinely great. The shabu soups are delicious and the variety here is really impressive. What I especially love is the constant veggie refills because you never feel like you're scrambling or rationing what's on the table. There's always something to add to your pot and the spread keeps things fun and interactive throughout the whole meal. The staff here are also wonderful and attentive, which just rounds out the whole experience perfectly. If you have a dog and love a good shabu situation, this is honestly your place. Places that still prioritize the outdoor dining experience and welcome four legged friends should be celebrated loudly, and Mokkoji absolutely earns that celebration!

You can tell they carefully select their ingredients, and it really makes a difference in every bite. The broth was flavorful and complemented the meats perfectly without overpowering them. Combined with the fresh vegetables and dipping sauces, every bite felt satisfying and well-balanced. I also loved the atmosphere. The restaurant was clean, cozy, and modern, creating a comfortable dining experience that felt both casual and elevated at the same time. The service was outstanding as well. The staff were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. They made great recommendations and ensured we had everything we needed throughout the meal. If you're looking for high-quality shabu shabu and premium meats rather than just an all-you-can-eat experience, Mokkoji is definitely worth a visit. The ingredients speak for themselves, and it's a place I'll gladly return to whenever I'm craving a great hot pot meal.
