Another make your own cooked pot by the lb. Had their house bone broth - wasn't my fav but my husband loved their tomato broth. I prefer YinTang's house broth (the one in Arcadia and Mp). A decent selection of toppings. The lady who worked the counter was really friendly and welcoming. My babies made a mess but she was all smiles. read more

Food is great! Would definitely hit the spot if ever you're craving for some hot pot. The staff were also nice, and always making sure that we are happy with our order. I wish the place was bigger + a few other hot pot option would be great. But all in all, I would recommend the place! read more

The food and the service was impeccable! The staff was so friendly! 5Pot has all the basic veggies, noodles, and meat that you could ask for. There's even a refillable passion fruit drink dispenser and an u limited sauce station. It was a great was to spend time with my family for Father's Day! We give it 5 out of 5! read more

5 POT - The Original Mild Spicy Bowl with all the veggies included - Hot Pot Near Me - Pasadena, California

I really enjoyed my experience at 5 POT. My favorite was the variety of fish balls to choose from. Additional, your meal is charged by weight which is super cool! You can pick and choose what you like. For example I only wanted 1 piece of broccoli and I was able to do that! It's a unique concept overall. Great for family and friends that have different food preferences. Bathroom was clean. Store is nice. Service was super amazing, employees were super welcoming and made sure we had a positive experience. Would recommend and revisit with some friends. The passion fruit tea was also SUPER good! read more

Had a great experience at 5 Pot. Mike, who runs the place, welcomed us warmly and made sure we understood how everything worked, as well as recommendations and a breakdown of the different kinds of broths available, spicy versus not, etc. The flavors were incredible and my daughter and I really enjoyed our experience after we had shopped across the street at Target beforehand. read more

Great food the tomato soup with the veggies tasted great and the employees we're like the nicest ever If i could give 100 stars i would 10/10 would definitely recommend and come back again. Super great food read more

I had lunch here today and it was great! It's a hot pot concept that is new to me. It's kind of like a salad bar where you choose the veggies/seafood/meat and they charge you per pound of food. You then choose your soup base and they take your raw food to the back to prepare a large bowl of soup. I chose the original broth, and my boyfriend selected the bone broth. They were both really tasty. The employees were super nice and the restaurant was very clean. Would definitely come back! read more

5 Pot is our go-to family favorite. Our kids are picky eaters, but they love 5 Pot, especially the tomato and bone-based broth. You can taste the quality in every bite, and we feel good knowing it's made with clean, healthy ingredients. The owner, Mike, puts so much care into the bone broth, and it shows. Through this incredible experience, he's even become a good friend. The weight-based pricing makes it affordable and flexible, which is rare these days. We've brought friends, and they're always impressed. Great food, great people, and a place we trust. I can't recommend it enough. read more

Love this place! Lots of healthy choices, and everything looks clean and fresh. The soup tastes great and the free passion fruit drink is a plus. Would definitely come back read more

5 POT - House special broth - Hot Pot Near Me - Pasadena, California

This is my first hot pot experience and let me tell you this place did not disappoint. This place has a unique twist of a hot pop place because it's basically a build your own hot pot. I absolutely love the food options and the food is very diverse. I am a huge foodie but I need to eat a certain about protein so it's nice that I feel in control of what I put on my plate or bowl. I love the atmosphere and the service is amazing. I feel so happy and not to mention FULL. Go ahead and try this place out and eat to your hearts content. You are in control read more

5 POT - Hot Pot Near Me - Pasadena, California

Very nice and new restaurant. The ingredients for the hot pot which they cook for you were all very fresh and the soup base was very flavorful. It was very kid friendly and the complementary teas were a hit! My favorite hot pot items to add were the tofu, quail eggs and spam! We were a party of 8 and the service was wonderful and speedy. Also great location. Right across from target with plenty of street parking. The restaurant was very clean and ingredients were fresh. read more

This was one of my favorite spots in Pasadena. The food is excellent, fairly priced, and I like their efficient system. Unfortunately, their customer service and problem solving skills are lacking. I ate here today and the employee asked me to pay before I sat down. That's fine. Then I asked if I could get 2 orders of rice after I sat down. The employee refused because the minimum credit card charge is $10. She then asked her manager, and he also refused in an obstinate manner and failed to solve the issue that they created. I'm sure he will have a pathetic response that deflects all responsibility and equivocates. I will never return. It's unfortunate because I really enjoyed this place otherwise. Oh well, they demonstrated that they don't want my money. read more

My girlfriend and I love this place & we keep coming back. They have a stamp card - buy 10 lbs. and you get 1 free! Ernesto, Mike, and the rest of the staff go above and beyond with their friendly service. read more

Excellent choices of the hot pot. Very smart idea s combined Japanese,Taiwanese, Mongolian Chinese korean mixed together. Good soup base, flexible choices, very quick service. No long wait time. Best for business lunch. Casual dinner, relaxed environment and bright lights. Love this restaurant!!!! Tao read more

Love the concept of customizable hotpot. My wife got the original soup base, and I got the bone soup. Both are good, but I highly recommend the original if trying for the first time. You can make it broth spicier, just ask for them to do so. Plenty of healthy options and service was friendly. We got our cooked food pretty quickly. The quality and flavor of the food already makes this place a great option, but even more so if you want a quick meal as they're pretty efficient with their service. read more

Fairly priced with decent amount of street parking. However, the I could barely taste the mala. The quality of their ingredients were questionable.. The bean sticks were so hard like rubber. read more

Easy place for a quick meal. Everything is clean, there's a good general selection of food items like vegetables, fish balls, noodles, etc. Only beef and lamb are available for the meats though. It is very easy to overdo it and put too much into the giant bowl! The bowls that your cooked food comes out in are also ginormous...like a face basin. Saves you the work of cooking the food yourself since they take it into the back and do it for you ( although cooking can also be part of the enjoyment of hot pot generally). The staff was really nice and helpful. read more

Fresh ingredients, you just pick what you like and the chef in the back will cook for you.Taste good, will definitely come back.

Place is quaint but nice and clean. Many choices of Meats and veggies for the bowl. Went here twice already with a friend and we will be coming back esp with this cold weather. Highly recommend this place. read more

The joint has 3 options for soup bases, a good variety of options for your soup at the bar, and makes it super simple for first timers. I will definitely go back again because of how accommodating they were especially to a party of 8! It was super clean as well and the owners and server were really nice and helpful. read more

Food Variety of good quality meat and vegetables Although it's for pot, it's Really fresh! It's healthy and broth taste really good as well. Best option for the cold days. Service Currently soft opening, offering free cold tea. It's so great to see small business growing. Great Ambiance and nice stuff. I highly recommend 5 pot. 5+ stars read more

SUPER delicious. Really fresh ingredients, easy to serve yourself and build your bowl. The customizability was a really neat concept - I enjoyed not having to order a bunch of add-ins I won't eat like at a typical hot pot place. I got all my favorite ingredients!! The only thing I would add is another broth option - I enjoyed the mild original broth, but the addition of a no-spice beef broth would make this a weekly visit for me. The mild original broth had a bit of a kick to it that seemed to intensify as you worked through your bowl, but was still easy to eat. The shop itself was super clean and nice, on the smaller side (maybe twelve tables?), but very modern feeling. Music was top 100 tiktok tracks, but not too loud, so conversation was easy. The girl who helped us was super enthusiastic, sweet, and seemed really nice. She came right up to us to explain how the build-your-own system worked, and helped us navigate how to build and how to order. We'll definitely be back. read more

5 POT - 1.5 lb. Hot Pot - Hot Pot Near Me - Pasadena, California

Great food and service! They even provide complimentary tea and the staff is always friendly. If only they could use the A/C a little more often... sometimes it feels a little muggy in there. We love the hot pot, not the hot pits. read more

I have came here 4 times so far. The soup base is delicious. The choices of meats and veggies is awesome. Staff is nice. This is my go to spot for hotpot. Keep up the good work read more

great spot for a quick and easy hotpot fix! you make your own bowls, which i like, and they have many of the usual hotpot items. however, they only had two kinds of meats when i went during lunch on a weekday - understandable as it was peak lunchtime for many who work in the area so my suggestion would be to plan accordingly! cost of the bowl is by pound, so you fill your bowl with your desired items, weigh your bowl and choose your soup base, pay, then they bring it to the back to cook for you. as you find your seating, you can enjoy passionfruit tea and make your sauce from the sauce bar - both included in the price! service was quick, they bring out your bowl to your table read more

A phenomenal array of vegetables, fish balls, noodles, meat and fish to fill your bowl: I tried half bone broth and half spicy broth, and the taste was perfection. The deal is (and the welcoming staff will be glad to explain,) you choose what you want (it's well marked,) fill a bowl with your choices, select a broth, add some condiments, help yourself to free tea and lemon water, and the kitchen will turn your choices into a delectable hot pot. The restaurant is spotless, the staff lovely, and the taste authentic. Our party of Asian food enthusiasts was unanimous in our praise. Of course with all of the choices, it's possible to overload your bowl, but I spent less that $20 and couldn't be happier. A tremendous addition to Pasadena's ever expanding affordable culinary wonderland! read more

The food was so good; they had many ingredient options, and the meat was as tender and fresh as the rest of the other ingredients. The service was really friendly and explained the entire way to do it right. The ambiance is really nice, quiet, and not too crowded. I totally recommend it. read more

I LOVE this place! What a great concept! Incredibly fresh ingredients (I had an assortment of veggies, woodear mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, finely sliced pork belly, and shrimp) expertly and expeditiously cooked by the kitchen staff in the super delicious and flavorful Original broth. There is also refreshing passion fruit tea on the house. Love, love, love this place!! read more

5 POT - Hot Pot Near Me - Pasadena, California

Loved this place! Service is excellent and I particularly liked the salad bar-like hot pot area rather than having to order soooo much of everything. I (and my kids) always waste so much food (and spend sooo much more money) at the traditional hot pot places you cook the food yourself. If you like hot pot, but don't want to cook your own food (like a sucker ;), I highly recommend this cute little place! read more
