First time at this location. Been at their first location in Garden Grove and then to it's fountain valley branch when they moved. The food is great. Make sure you get their fishball appetizer while you wait for your order. Ribeye steak on a hot stone is a must to try too. All of their hotpots are good you can't go wrong whichever you choose. The parking is bit hard as the lot is small and is also shared by different businesses so make sure one of your friends get off from the car and get a table while you wait for a parking spot.

Oh-em-gee! I want one in Rhode Island, please! This place is bomb. Menu, flavor, price, ambience, service can be a tad faster but no one is perfect. I mean, whoa! Individual hotpot servings starting at $15.95 (sans tax), amazing variety, boba drinks, appetizers, no charge on dipping sauces on your table......can't get any better than that. Love this concept. We were a party of four and we ordered: Seafood hotpot (2), Korean Kimchi hotpot, and Japanese miso hotpot. Dared to order appetizers of fried goden fishball and fried fish tofu. Yummy. I left with half of my own hotpot order to take home. You can also order one and share. I am at a loss for words, I really love it. Only a true Asian food and hotpot foodie can appreciate this spot. I need to win the lottery!

This is the spot, Service it’s very good at lunch. Dinner service is a little slow as it can get crowded as on weekends. There is parking. It’s a small lot and hit or miss as it’s right next to Sunbright Tea. Highly recommend the steak. The ramen is surprisingly very good as well.

The quality of the steak is really good for the reasonable price. The flavor is really tasty you can taste the natural flavors without sauce over powering it, they do give you sauce on the side if you choose to use it. I went on a saturday the service was good no long waits. I had ordered the top sirloin with rice and fries, my date had rib eye which they enjoyed also.

Extraordinary food! The steak was delicious, perfectly cooked at medium rare and the butter just put it over the top! Over all for dinner for 5, including drinks was less than 150.

Drove all the way from Torrance to try this place out and was pretty impressed! There was no wait on a late Friday night, the food was reasonably priced and there was a large selection of hot pots to choose from. If it's your first time I recommend trying the house special. Will be back again!

I was in the area with a group of friends and decided to get hotpot here for dinner. I am openly sad that there isn't a chain in my area yet so I can have more alternative options to hotpot. FOOD We ordered 3 hotpot and 1 rib eye grill. Thai hotpot: I ordered this mild and the soup base was definitely sour and spicy. The ingredients were typical, but portion was very filling. I ordered it with vermicelli. Overall, not too bad. Curry hotpot: my friend ordered this and commented that it was not bad, but she couldn't really taste the curry. She had a lot leftover so a 2nd meal. Japanese hotpot: they served this with udon and presentation looked good. My friend preferred another hotpot place more as it's more flavorful there than the one here. Rib eye grill: if you like your meat medium rare, order it as one level rarer so it'll get cooked. The waiter told us to order it rare and then let it cook for 20 seconds. We did and it became medium well, but we may have let it cooked a little too long. The meat was juicy, but flavorless. They give you 3 dipping sauces similar to A1, mustard, and sweet and sour. This dish also comes with 2 side dishes and a salad. I would not order this again as it doesn't fill you up, and this is not a steakhouse. PARKING It's located in a small strip mall, so limited parking during peak hours. We came before the dinner rush so found parking easily. SERVICE Overall service was not bad. They were very quick to seat us and take our orders. When we requested items, it was brought to us right away. Pretty good for an Asian restaurant standard. WILL I COME AGAIN? If I'm in the area and want hotpot, this would be my place. Hotpot portions are generous for the price you pay ($12!).

Food I ordered the ribeye steak, garlic noodles and Cajun fries. Steak came out on a hot stone so it was still cooking while you were eating it. Definitely not bad. Especially for the price. Garlic noodles were bomb. That is a must order. Service The service was definitely superb. From taking my order to bringing out the food and even when I asked for a togo box. New sauces were brought out to me for my steak. Definitely will be back soon.

On Easter Sunday, me and my family went to this restaurant for some rainy weather hotpot. I orderedhouse special hot pot. The soup base is bun bo hue lemongrassy soup. It is very interesting to taste the soup. I love it. A lot of customer during lunch hour.

I went to this place because my buddy said they have good steak. We ordered the rib eye and I must say that the steak was cooked to my liking, medium, the staff was polite and efficient. The price is fair for the ribeye. My sides cooled down quickly but I ordered the vegetables so I ate them quicker 😋 the flavor of my steak was Excellent and they gave me three sauces for dipping or pouring, BBQ, spicy orange sauce, and Steak sauce.

This place was good. Worth the waiting line of 45 min?....I don't think so. You can check in via Yelp, so then you can come and wait closer to your time. I've Only been there once, so I can't say much on how great everything else was. It's basically like a boiling crab with a mishmash of other random Asian stuff on their menu. I got the curry shabu bowl (forgot the actual name of the dish*). Each shabu comes with a choice of rice or rice vermicelli. I chose the extra vermicelli, and I wouldn't recommend that to anyone. It was too much and in the end it just ended up over-cooking and turning it a d the rest of my soup into a slimy mush. Those were "Cajun fries"....not impressed. We only ordered it because we thought it would come out 1st before our shabu bowls since we were SUPER HANGRY from waiting so long, but it came out at the same time as our entre which kind of defeated the purpose of ordering an appetizer (although i think ot was labeled under "snack" on the menu). Anyways....you get what I mean....

The food was great, and our server was really attentive. But it took 40 minutes to get our soup. This seems like a staffing issue, but it made the experience pretty mixed overall.

The food is OK, the service is OK (friendly but slow). Parking is convenient. No wait when we went on Sunday evening. We ordered two hotpots and one of us go the steak. I was told the steak was decent but mashed potatoes were bad, tastes like instant mashed potatoes. Fries are OK as well. The salad that came with the steak not that great. Large portions though. Prices are about $13-16 per person. I tried the tonkotsu hotpot, average. The pork was kind of rough in mouthfeel. The tofu tasted a bit sour. The spicy levels are actually pretty spicy though so that's a plus. Overall not very impressed by this place. I actually came for ramen but it didn't look very good when I got there so I ended up getting hotpot. No plans to visit again probably... Not my favorite hot pot place in the area. Everything is so mediocre and the servers didn't refill our waters even though it wasn't very busy. Very average to me.

The vegetable ramen is below average. The egg is too salty. The noodle & broth is so so. The side of lamb is so so . Blant no taste but tender. The fried fish balls were good. Service was good. Restroom was clean.

Hotpot no flavor lvl 4 tasted like water Steak 10oz looks like 6oz service very slow Fries on the side of steak was cold $22 for fish balls and fish tofu not even worth it

So to be honest this is my absolute favorite restaurant. I love, love, love the ribeye steak and garlic noodles. However, we went here to celebrate Father’s Day and brought our kids for the first time. We arrived early because we know it gets busy. When we arrived there were only a few parties dining in. We were seated right away, given menus and water as usual. The waiter came to take our order with his mask down under his nose. We ordered 2 ramens, 1 hot pot soup and 3 ribeyes. We also ordered 6 drinks. After we ordered, the restaurant got busy and at least 6 tables were seated. Every single one of those tables, including another party of seven that was seated after we ordered, got their food and drinks before us. 2 of them were done eating by the time all of our order came out. It was very frustrating. We complained and they said the kitchen was working on it. I think they forgot to put in our order all together, but they wouldn’t admit that. It was a mess. All of our meals came out at different times, the sides were cold or wrong. Steaks were over cooked. We had to request utensils two different times we had to request boxes two different times it was a very bad first impression on the five others that we brought with us for the first time. Very disappointed. My steak was abnormally small as well. I know they are all supposed to be 10oz but I don’t think it was. No compensation offered at all. What a bummer.

Worst experience I’ve had in a long time. I blame management for not properly staffing on a busy evening or stepping up and helping out by taking tables. I ordered two hotpot’s with rice and two steaks with fries and some sodas. We never got our drinks or steaks (turns out the server was ready to go on break and didn’t put in our full order) and the hotpot’s were only ok, there’s way better hotpot places around Cerritos, like Broth Shabu Shabu. When they brought the hotpot’s out they didn’t start the fire and I had to find my server and ask them to light it. Turned out they kept seating people even tho one of the two servers was going on their lunch break (at 9:30pm). Just bad service all the way around, the one server that was left to fend for himself was coming off rude in my opinion with how he talked to customers but I’m sure he was overwhelmed. He was trying to handle the whole floor but failed pretty bad. Several customers were upset today. Won’t ever come back here.

Ladies & Gentlemen the picture I provided are there $7 Cajun Fries. The Garlic Noodles I told my self the same thing, wheres the garlic? & where was the Cajun. 5 guys has Cajun Fries
