    For the value, priced well for the food you get. It was decent and seems very empty. You get hot pot and Barbecue meats to grill. Mediocre food, bad service and not alot of variety.

    On 6/29, she said this 6/30 coupon already expired. lol!

    + Some restaurants are AYCE hotpot. Others are AYCE bbq. This place's got both! + Wide assortment of food for grill and/or boil. - But only a small selection of fruity drinks. - Unfortunately, partially due to not specializing in either hotpot or bbq, this business is not exceptionally good at either. - e.g. they only have two broth flavors by default for each person. At my fav hotpot place, you get a choice of 4 out of 8 broths. - Also, most of the food didn't taste good in general. Kind of bland, about what you'd expect from AYCE. - Summer is hot in there. Wish they had A/C or more fans. - Not a wide selection of fruits for healthy dessert. . The manager was okay, but the employees are very nice and helpful. - On 6/29 I walked in asking to use my 20%-off coupon. She immediately said it expired without verifying the expiry date which is 6/30. I pointed this out to her, then the management had to delibrate. - Eventually, they approved our 20% off, contingent that we order drinks (as opposed to sticking to free water). + Fortunately, they threw in a BOGO offer on the drinks. We acquiesced. - But really, they shouldn't have felt the need to ask us to buy drinks, as the coupon's offer is a solid single offer without asterisk or disclaimer. 20% off. That's all it says. No drinks requirement or anything. + Ample parking. + I really appreciate that this place doesn't have a time limit like other AYCE places do. I have a huge stomach and only one mouth. xD - The restroom had only one toilet, - and no paper towels. dirty handles. . They don't serve alcohol. Not that I'm a drinker anyway.

    My family and I enjoyed eating here for the variety. They have some different broth options than when you go to regular Shabu. I had the vegetarian and pork broth. Both tasted soooo clean but flavorful. When I go to shabu I usually get tonkotsu but it can be too salty or heavy so I really enjoyed the plain pork broth. Someone got tom yum and the Vietnamese broth and said he enjoyed both. There were as many option buffet style but enough for me. The hot food area had fried chicken which my dad loved the way it's cooked and he's pretty picky. My sister, husband, and I enjoyed their bulgogi. We frequent kbbq and we liked how unstringy it was (cause we have that issue ata lot of other places) and the flavor was good but not overly sweet. Everyone else had spicy pork belly but I did buy they said they also enjoyed that. Overall service was good and the lady was very sweet. I can see how if you don't speak Vietnamese it would be harder to communicate though. Ambiance was clean and large.

    Very modern and clean place. The unique that I don't see in another hotpot place in oc that they are offer both hot pot and grill same table and individual pot very good concept . The food is 4star , the service are 5star the 2 waiters there are super nice and very attentive. The price are very reasonable, the food well kept in freezer and refrigerator for keeping the food temperatures very indont know why some comment for frozen food (where can you find all fresh only , food must stay in right temperature to served in buffet station by health department, I used to work at health department 8 years ago they did kept their food station well . What are turnover after 6month i came back very clean now

    Front entrance

    Very nice decor and clean restaurants, all staff are very nice and super helpful, the food are good , especially for the prices of $29.99 offers both hotpot and kbbq grill with over 40items including snow crab legs and short rib . Would recommend friends to try .

    Just left Happy Lamb Hot Pot and honestly... my soup now has higher standards than me…read more This spot is giving luxury hot pot energy without making your wallet cry too hard. The broth simmers for like 8 hours, and you can taste it immediately -- rich, cozy, slightly life-changing. The Wagyu disappeared from my plate faster than my self-control, and the lamb was super tender. I also love the self-serve setup because I got to pretend I was on a cooking game show grabbing veggies, sauces, shrimp, noodles... everything. Dangerous for competitive people. The vibe inside is modern, clean, cute booths everywhere, and the staff was super attentive even while everyone around me was entering full hot-pot survival mode. If you're hungry hungry, this place is dangerous in the best way. I came for dinner and left emotionally attached to the broth. 10 outta 10 Pricing: AYCE options typically range from roughly $28-$44 depending on the package, with weekday lunch specials often available.

First, their buffet bar unlimited and most importantly, clean !!! The menu has so much variety too. Just look at the clam soup my husband made Their appetizers are so good too, but the most memorable dish for me? The lamb shank. It's a true Inner Mongolian-style hot pot experience. And if you're a meat lover like me... the wagyu beef brisket and wagyu bolar blade are impossible to resist. Also love that they have Happy Hour for $21.99 on weekdays IG: socalhkfoodies

We love coming during happy hour because the prices are so much better & honestly, the quality and quantity of food are unmatched.

My sister in law loves spicy and always adds extra. I'm a bit of a wimp, so I stick to about three drops, but it definitely adds a nice kick and is super yummy. The place is always clean, and the servers are consistently nice and accommodating. I've tried several other hot pot spots since coming here, and this one is still my favorite overall.

Seem like only 1 hostess who also took orders but also multiple staff members standing around chatting amongst themselves and not really paying attention to when waters could be filled or offering to refill broth or checking up Didn't really explain how anything worked with ordering Counter and tables available.

    Really great individual hot pot deal for weekday lunch. It's $14.99 for the pot and a kumquat drink…read moreso it's such a good deal, especially in comparison to Boiling Point which the prices for have gone up recently and there's always a long line there. I also love the unique flavor options here! I really enjoyed the Mongolian lamb pot, the flavor of the broth was good and the lamb wasn't too gamey. The Thai style one was like a tom yum soup base. Both pots came with endless amounts of toppings and a choice of vermicelli or rice. I love individual hot pot because you can try a little bit of a lot of different things. Service was fast and efficient and the interior is spacious and clean. I'll definitely be back when I get my next hot pot craving!

    Two strikes so I've got to write. :(…read more First incident: I had a good experience the first time I came here so I brought my husband and my sister back. Hubby ordered the salmon rice. The picture on the menu shows a piece of grilled salmon but what they brought out was totally different. Thank god, it was good anyway. Sister and I trying to order the same hot pot I ordered before and owner told us no, we cannot swap the pork belly out on the Thai hotpot. Told him I was able to do that before. He said "I'm not sure who let you do that but no, we do not allow that." I told him "you did, you let me swap the pork belly for the lean beef the previous time. I still have a picture of it on Yelp". Anyhow, he insisted No. We went ahead and ordered two beef hotpot's and the broth was salty. We had to pour some water in the hotpot to soften up the saltiness. Second incident: I came here on Thursday evening. Walked in that door at 9:10 pm and the server quickly told me: "No, we already had our last call!" Say what? the sign on the door says open til 10:00 pm and it is only 9:10 pm? If you don't want to serve late, then change your hours listed on the door and close those doors at 9:00 pm instead. Not good!!!

    Quality HOT POT over here!…read more Place is a little hard to spot but be sure to lookout for the flagship name "Raising Claw". My bro and I opted out on the 55$ premium AYCE menu. The establishment really focuses on quality and representation. The first round order took about ten minutes to come out after the soup broth was brought out. Second round order was very consistent as the quality of marbled meats came out as identical as the first batch. The tri tip and Australia rib eye was very savory. All beef options were all excellent. Chuck roll is a little too chewy for my liking as opted out on second and third order. Green tea ice cream matcha is a good meal ender. Restrooms - Clean Would definitely come back!

It might be hard to find but it's located in the raising claw at the corner of the plaza! We got the premium set which came with SO much meat. The quality of all the meats were very good and diverse. Our server Hayden was also very knowledgeable on all the cuts and attentive to our needs. He was switching out plates for us and bringing in new foods in the set menu as we ate. The restaurant set up is nice too, you don't have to worry about crammed tables as they have carts to put your extra plates on so you have plenty of room to eat. Overall the experience was fun and the food was really good, the price point is high but definitely worth it since you get a lot of meats and seafood as well. Personally I'd place this location better than mokkoji or Shabuya :).
