    We tried a tri-pot soup bases pot and all 3 of these non-spicy soup bases tasted so good with rich ingredients. All the food qualifies are so good and fresh. This is definitely one of the go-to place if I want to each hotpot. The servers are very nice and always timely to refill our soup bases.

    This place is spacious. The bone soup base is so delicious, we almost drank all the soup after finishing all the meat. Must try the wagyu beef and shrimp meatball, the beef is so soft and melted in your mouth. The servers are very nice and responsive, thank you! We will definitely come again!

    I have to say Yuan's Hotpot is a bit of a hidden gem in the area. It's a very nice hotpot place with a nice interior. Ordered a bunch of food and I was not disappointed with the quality of each item. They have a huge variety but I remember there was no taro on the menu. Ordered the pork bone broth and it was really flavorful, like so flavorful that I didn't actually need a soup base. The heat source is pretty strong and heats up the soup quickly. The service here, although most of it was DIY like the sauce and the cooking is up to you, they came by relatively often and made sure there was enough soup. The parking entrance is a bit tight and you may over shoot it if you're not careful. Just drive carefully up to it. They also have a secondary lot in the event the primary lot is full. They have arrows pointing to it. Overall, I enjoyed my experience here and I would definitely come back. Wish they had taro on the menu though

    Absolutely amazing hot pot! The broth was rich, flavorful, and perfectly spicy with that authentic numbing Sichuan kick. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, and there were plenty of options to choose from. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the whole dining experience even better. If you love spicy food, this place is definitely worth a visit. I'll definitely be coming back!

    Amazing ambience, easy parking, and great service. Price point is good and the food quality is top notch. I like how they offer three flavored hot pots.

    We are here to celebrate my wife's birthday! The authenticity of this hot pot is very well known. The variety of broth will suit everyone's unique palette. The meat and the veggies are so fresh and delicious. A defiantly a place for date night and celebrations

    Absolutely loved this hot pot spot Everything about the experience was on point. The ingredients were super fresh -- you can really taste the quality in the meats, veggies, and seafood. The broth was rich and flavorful (perfect level of spice ), and everything cooked beautifully. Service was impressively fast and attentive without being overbearing. We never had to wait long for anything, and staff made sure we were taken care of throughout. The restaurant itself was also very clean and well-maintained, which always makes a big difference for me when it comes to hot pot places. Overall, such a satisfying and fun dining experience. Definitely one of the better hot pot spots I've tried -- I'll 100% be coming back!

    This is one of our favorite hot pot places in LA. The buffet bar has some good varieties of cold dishes. The bone broth is my favorite and we picked the combo soup. Service is excellent too

    Very yummy and so fun with big group!

    Good service, yummy food and nice ambiance. Nice decors ! Good for big group. We had a party of 9 and they let us sit altogether in a round table. We had a great time and very kids friendly. There are all other options for kids and all you can eat dessert. The kids love the dessert bar.

    Not the first time but very satisfied for our most recent visit here…read more It's been a while since we last ate here and we had family dinner as a party of 10, so we were given a private room with 3 hot pots. We had beef, lamb, and pork slices for hotpot which we ordered 5 each per order. We had two pots original and one spicy. The meat slices were very thin so cooking time wasn't long and we paired it with various sauces, so if you make a good sauce it'll be even better. The buffet selection definitely changed, there's more hot foods and they no longer have mini sausages. I do enjoy their char siu and their varieties. Staff were pretty attentive with making sure our tables are cleared and if we need more meat. Since we were in a private room, they still came by to check on us. Overall, I did enjoy this place and would come again! I think not everyone liked how thin the meat was sliced but I'm fine with it. Ice creams costs money as well.

    The quality of food here is sure going downhill. Although the price is affordable, the soup and…read moreother ready-to-eat items are not as good. The BBQ pork used to be good. This time, most of the pieces are fat and have no meat at all. But the service we received was great and attentive.

Other places have passed them by in some respects First there is no sauce bar here. Just four small containers of sauces you can use. Ironically none of those sauces are soy sauce. A darker possible peanut sauce, a sesame sauce, a pinkish possibly fermented tofu sauce and the standard chili oil. I wanted more as far as the sauce goes and I thought a sauce bar was pretty standard these days Second there is no AYCE bar with small snacks. Kind of interesting When ordering the meat, I guess they wanted to save a plate so the sliced meats just came in plastic containers. That loses some points with me on presentation Other than that everything is fine. They charge a little less for the broth than a lot of places do, so that's nice Got vegetables, mushrooms, tofu, noodles and a couple of meats. Overall it's a fine experience, mostly Ok to Good. But the lack of some things makes it more second tier for me and it would not be a go to hot pot place for me

    The Rejuvenation broth at Hot Pot Hot Pot is great! Lots of herby flavor, without being too much…read more They also give you a few small sauce cups, but no sauce bar. I found this place to be a bit pricey, particularly because almost all the veggies/noodles/non-meats were priced at $4.95. In my opinion, the end pricing should better reflect the ingredient pricing. Service was very bad. We were seated, ordered, and brought the food. We never were spoken to again and had to call over two different staff members to get the bill, then pay for it. They do have large tables for groups. Overall, this is the best hot pot restaurant I have tried so far, but I didn't love it.

Just like I mentioned in my review for Lameizi, that one is average, but Chunlahao is a little beyond average. It was at Chunlahao that I first learned about the so-called square bamboo shoot (方竹筍), and I liked it. But this time they were out of it, which was a pity. Another interesting thing happened when we ordered a plate of marinated beef. It looked fancy, arranged in a green and red Tai Chi shape, very beautiful. But when I tried to put it into the pot, I realized the plate only had the decoration but no beef. We told the waiters and they also found it funny. They replaced the plate for us. The restaurant was much brighter than the last time I visited, maybe because they changed the lights. We also had more people with us this time. I guess that is why I felt like giving a higher score. It must have been the better atmosphere.

    This hot pot place is on the north west corner of Rosemead Blvd and Las Tunas. The same plaza as…read morethe TJ maxx. It has a big parking lot so I don't think parking would be an issue. On the outside it only says "Chong Qing Hot Pot". This place is pretty big actually. When you walk in, there's like a bit of a walk from the entrance to the actual dining area. The inside is also nicely decorated and themed. There are two "bars". One bar has all of your dipping sauces that you can make and it has jar sesame oil. There is another bar on the other side which has things like Sesame balls and other dessert like items. The service here is really good. They come check on you very often. Make sure your soup isn't empty and the food comes really quickly. The quality of the food is pretty good too. The meat is well marbled and the vegetables are pretty fresh. The soup broth I got was the spicy one which is like the traditional hot pot soup with the oil and the bone broth. The bone broth soup is actually really good. It's not bland and the spicy hotpot is actually really spicy. Overall, the experience is really good. Compared to Hai Di Lao to this place, I think this place is a bit better in terms of service and pricing but Hai Di Lao is better is presentation. The bone broth soup at Hai Di Lao is very bland and doesn't taste like anything compared to here. This place also has dessert items like sesame balls which is pretty good. I highly recommend trying this place out. 5/5. The only downfall I would say is the restroom, it just doesn't have good ventilation and smells.

The mushroom soup base is a must--rich, flavorful, and especially perfect when paired with rice. It's one of those broths you actually want to finish, not just cook in. For meats, I always go back to the fatty beef belly and the Angus beef ribeye. Both are high quality, well-sliced, and cook perfectly in the broth--super satisfying every time. Service here has consistently been great. Yes, there's usually a wait, but that's because this place is always packed--it's constantly poppin, and for good reason. The staff keeps things moving and still manages to stay attentive. But honestly, my favorite part? The snack bar. It's such an underrated highlight. They have a variety of snacks available, and I always end up grabbing extras to take with me for later. It just adds to the whole experience and makes it feel like you're getting more than just a meal. Overall, this spot lives up to the hype. Great food, great energy, and definitely worth the wait.

The hostess asked for our information to get us to a table more quickly, which I appreciated. The food options are vast! The basic meats are far cheaper than Hai Di Lao. The sauce and snack bar had many options that I couldn't decide how to build the sauce correctly. The soup bases were good. The cost is good for not having to drive to Hai Di Lao and getting basic meats. What's problematic is getting service. The servers are so busy, it's hard to get their attention. It took more than 10 minutes to get the bill and receipt. I would give this place better stars if they had more servers. Hai Di Lao is far more attentive and the tablet is very helpful. Lastly, the restaurant is small so it feels like you're in everyone's way when you're at the sauce bar.

When we arrived on a Saturday night, the restaurant was moderately busy, but the wait wasn't outrageous. Our server did a great job explaining how everything worked. It's 90 minutes of all-you-can-eat for $35.00 per person, and you're allowed to order up to three types of meat per round. The restaurant is set up well. Off to the left is a self-serve station stocked with vegetables, mushrooms, tofu, seafood, and other hot pot essentials. Drinks are also self-serve, and they even have a soft-serve ice cream machine if you want something sweet after your meal. One thing I really appreciated was the variety of hot foods available. They offered items you don't typically find at a standard shabu restaurant, which was a nice surprise. I also noticed a sign explaining that the hot food selection changes regularly, so each visit may offer something a little different. There's also a dipping sauce station where you can customize your sauces exactly how you like them. I ordered the house broth, which had a mild, lingering spice. It added plenty of flavor without leaving that overpowering heat that lingers long after you're done eating. My partner chose the miso broth, which was rich, creamy, and earthy--you really can't go wrong with a good miso broth. The meat is sliced fresh after you place your order, and you can definitely tell the difference. The slices were tender and cooked beautifully in the broth. They also offer four different noodle options. I went with the classic egg noodles this time, but next visit I'll probably try the buckwheat noodles since it's been a while since I've had a good bowl with them. When you're finished, you simply pay near the entrance, making the checkout process quick and easy. My only real complaint was that it was a little difficult to flag someone down when I needed more broth added to my pot. I like keeping enough broth in the pot so it doesn't begin to scorch the bottom, and it took a bit longer than expected to get someone's attention. Other than that, I really enjoyed the overall experience. The staff gives you plenty of space to enjoy your meal without constantly interrupting, making it a great place to catch up with family and friends. The music was at a comfortable volume, allowing conversations and laughter to fill the room without having to talk over loud speakers. One thing to keep in mind if you're coming with a large group: the largest table I saw comfortably seated six people. Since the tables are bolted to the floor, larger parties will likely need to split between multiple tables. Overall, I'd definitely come back. Between the fresh meats, customizable broths and sauces, the rotating hot food selection, and the relaxed atmosphere, All That Shabu is a great spot if you're looking for quality hot pot in a laid-back setting. At $35.00 per person, I thought it was a great value. With tax and tip, our total came to $92 for two people, which felt very reasonable for an all-you-can-eat meal with fresh ingredients and plenty of variety. I'd happily recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy a relaxing hot pot experience with friends or family.

They offer premium and prime options for their AYCE hot pot. Their prime menu was $52.95 and offered 9 different soup bases, 17 meat options, self serve bar filled with veggies, noodles and meat balls, drink stations and ice cream. I got the split pot with sukiyaki and jelly golden chicken broth. The sukiyaki was slightly sweet and full of umami flavor. The jelly golden chicken was flavorful and comforting. You can tell they boil down chicken bones from the chicken fat in the soup. They have 3 meats on the prime menu that were wagyu. All 3 were super tender and required little to no chewing. The abalone were massive and firm yet tender. We got the shrimp paste as well which was flavorful and filled with chunks of shrimp. The veggies were fresh and I enjoyed the variety. My favorites were the crown daisy, spinach, enoki mushrooms and Napa. They even have the sweet potato wide rice noodles that are slimy and chewy. Not a lot of AYCE places have it so it's a rare find.

The herbal tea was sweet, almost like dates. I will definitely come back next time I'm in the area.
