    Spicy Miso
    Diana P.

    My favorite hot pot place and one of my favorite restaurants in general. I love that they have many options and that it's self serve. It's a really big restaurant with plenty of seating. Although i will say if you go on a busy day it may be slower service because they be understaffed at times. Overall i enjoy the quality of the meat and seafood here and my go to soup base is the spicy miso. It can be costly at almost 40 per person for dinner but it's worth if you really like hot pot.

    The service here is great and this is one of the biggest hot pot. All you can eat places that is in the entire LA area. There's plenty of choices to choose from in terms of meats, vegetables, and seafood. This is probably the best one in the Ontario area. I'll be back.

    This is a nice restaurant with lots of food options. But it's on the pricier side (adult pricing starts at 11 years old) and only allows for meat to be ordered in only 3 rounds, which spoils the fun of AYCE and spontaneity. Food: The broths are tasty and all unique. The spicier ones (Shichuan and Soondubu) are not that spicy, but still hot and savory. Their Miso and Tonkotsu broths are safe and child friendly. Their meats were good quality and cooked quickly in the broth. The only negative is that their servings are kind of small and you only have 3 rounds to order meats. We ordered a lot of meat in round 1-2, so we were done before the third round. The bar of seafood and vegetables is nice and spacious. They offer gloves, too. Their sauce station is large and offers lots of ingredients to mix and try. The price of the meal includes an ice cream cup for each person at the end of your meal. Service: The staff is friendly and patient. They manage many tables, so it can take a while before they return to your table. Recommend ordering as many meat plates as possible in round 1 (3 plates per person). Then you might not need them to return for round 2-3. Ambiance: The restaurant is large and offers tables of various sizes for groups. They also have private rooms. Their cooking burners are easy to use and seafood/vegetables bar was replaced and cleaned off regularly. It's also located near Ontario Mills mall and walkable. This is a good restaurant, but the price is a little high for children that must pay for adult prices. We have a 12 year old that does not eat much, but had to pay full adult price. The ice cream is a nice touch, but the complications of ordering meat in only 3 rounds can be stressful for some. We probably wont return since we prefer Shabuya in Alhambra.

    Different cuts of beef
    Courtney M.

    It was a cool experience, they have so many options of seafood and noodles and different types of meat for you to order to add to your hot pot.. we order different types of broth. They were not as flavorful as I would've liked. They were kind of bland, which I wish was a different outcome. Because of course everything you're soaking in it picks up that flavor and it was just very bland. But the quality of meat and the quality of the food was pretty good. It was clean they kept refilling everything. The service was a little slow. But they were remembering things that we ordered but felt like in 25 minute increments. And they had so many vegetables. Definitely enjoyed the buffet style option of getting everything you want for your hot pot. The only thing I would change is just making the broth more flavorful.

    We came in with a party of 10. We called in to be sure we could get a table. This was a dining adventure for all!! It is all you can eat hot pot. Everyone in our party got their own hot pot. You get to choose your broth. Each can get three different meats and then....the great "salad" bar with all kinds of things to cook in your broth. There was so much to choose from and it was all delicious with options for all!! The servers quickly removed the empty plates and also came around to see if we needed any more meats. Dinners come with appetizer and ice cream too!!! FYI-gratuity added to our large group. Will definitely come again when in the area.

    I went for the lunch buffet. They sat me right away which was nice. The interior design was pretty, upscale ish. They do have nice quality of meat, and the server was full of hospitality, I had my soup base refilled 3 times during my visit, and they kept asking if I need more meats and see if I like everything so far. Only little issue I can think of was the sesame sauce / peanut sauce was too liquidly, I wish it was more dense. Overall a nice dining experience.

    This is the only AYCE hot pot place close to me near the Inland Empire - I usually go to the 626 for all you can eat hot pot or Orange County area. I'm happy that I stumbled across this place in Ontario. To begin the ambience there is very modern, spacious, and has ample seating. I appreciate that this contributed to the fact that there was zero wait time. Our servers were all extremely sweet and tentative. They always checked on us and made sure that we had everything we needed. Their broth selection was great - all very flavorful! I got the spicy miso, and my friend got the mala! Both were very good! Something else that I very much appreciated was how much vegetables, tofu, seafood, and sides were at the salad bar. They even have enoki mushroom - many places don't usually have this! At the salad bar, they also had a wide selection of sauces. Many hot pot places usually stick to just the basics - ponzu & sesame sauce. The only minor thing that I will have to say - you are allotted only three meat selections per person per round - for 3 rounds. Their meat is very thinly sliced. I do not eat too much - and the amount that we were allotted was just enough to get me full. Overall, I would definitely come again! My experience was very positive and the food was amazing!

    So on Sunday, November 16, my friend and I arrived around 2:50 PM, waited about 30 minutes, and finally got a table. When our server came over, she didn't greet us, didn't ask if it was our first time, and didn't explain how the AYCE works. She just came to take our order. It was my first time, but luckily my friend had been there before and was able to explain everything to me. After we filled out the sheet to order our broth and meats, we went to the food bar area to get rice, noodles, veggies, and sauces. The broth and meats arrived soon after we returned to our table, so we started eating. Once we started running low on broth, my friend wanted more. We looked around for our actual server for a bit, but couldn't find her, so my friend ended up asking another server. Even then, she had to wait a long time because the person she asked apparently forgot. We eventually got the broth, but it took much longer than it should have. While we were talking and waiting for our original server to check on us to see if we wanted more meat, she finally came back--but instead of asking, she brought the check. At that point, we were frustrated enough that we decided to leave. We only received one round of meat, which we shared, and I definitely wanted more, but I wasn't prepared to wait another 20-30 minutes or risk it being forgotten again. Since it was Sunday, we paid the dinner price of $38.95 per person, plus the cost of drinks--which I never even got offered a refill on. I ended up feeling cheated because I paid full price but didn't enjoy the experience at all and completely missed out on rounds 2 and 3 of meats. Overall, the food was good, but the service really ruined the experience for me. I'll probably look for a different hot pot place next time.

    so many broth options, we opted for the tom yum which had a light tom yum flavor but could have been a bit better! The meat options were great and flavorful, and so many veggie & seafood options to choose from. A bit on the pricier side $38 but would definitely go back if I'm in the area

    Clean and busy environment. Full bar by the entrance.
    Ed W.

    What a pleasant surprise. Great hot pot flavor and they don't cheap out on the seafood or meats. They have all my favorite mushrooms, veggies, sauces, noodles, spices and fruits. Seafood includes shrimp, scallops, squid, fish balls, lobster balls, crawfish... so many choices. All with a complimentary ice cream. Full bar is extra, but very reasonable. Adults dinner $40 and kids half. Service is fast and courteous and everything is clean and fresh. We went back twice in a week. I do like hot pot, so if that's your thing, you'll like this place.

    Diana M.

    Pretty good place for AYCE hot pot. The directions took us to the back of the building so we had to walk all the way around to find the entrance. The surrounding area itself is not the greatest but the inside was nice and clean. It was much bigger than I had expected. Lots of tables and a good size buffet of all their veggies and noodles and things. Service was okay, we came right at open so maybe they only had one server, but we asked for sprite twice and it never came. We gave up on it after the second time we asked. Would come back again tho - it definitely satisfied my hot pot craving!

    AYCE Hot Pot!

    Solid hot pot here! I always got the tofu soup base and they have a bar for you to get all your soup fixings, including sauces for dipping and whatnot. They even have different types of noodles--I always go for the spinach ramen. The meat quality is on point generally and the service is pretty responsive as they check on you often. The location itself is pretty roomy and they have a bar inside if you're into drinks, they have a good michelada. The pricing isn't too bad and for what you get it's definitely worth it, I've never had a bad experience here and have come a good amount of times. At the end they have a little ice cream menu for you to pick out of and it's always a great way to cap off a solid meal. Definitely recommend this spot if you're craving hot pot in the area

    Ordered Spicy Szechuan Crispy Chilli Chicken Mixed Beef…read moreSlices in hot Sauce Local Hunan Flavored Lamb And Szechuan Cold Noodles I always thought this place in the past was an offshoot of the Red Chilli Restaurant in Rancho Cucamonga / Upland by the 99 Ranch Supermarket, but I guess it deviates way far from both the Red Chilli Restaurants in Redlands and Upland from 8-15 years ago. I cant justify any of these dishes making me want to consume bowls upon bowls of rice. That's what spicy Szechuan and Hunan food is supposed to do....it should make you awaken your taste buds, with the power of their chilli peppers, Szechuan green & red peppercorns, and the umamis derived from MSG. Nope, I didn't crave the Lazi Chicken...nor the Hot Oil Beef Mix... Not the Cold Noodles, and I left with a $122 receipt in hand for 2 more takeout items on top of the 4 main dishes I've shared.....and I felt pretty empty. Empty in a sense, I could DO BETTER at home mixing my own Szechuan Cold Noodles, with Home Made Chili Oil, Sesame Paste, Sugar. Chicken Bullion, Minced Garlic, Vinegar, and Cilantro. I almost felt robbed here.....either every dish was lacking peppercorns and numbness, or it was missing Umami, Alot of it...so I leave anyone who wants to challenge my opinion otherwise and prove me wrong that the food here indeed belongs in a long list of top notch Szechuan Hunan Restaurants in Los Angeles. Even if this place opened up in Phoenix, I'm sorry, it's going to rank in the lower end of the bell curve. It was a hot day. I felt the service lady doesn't know how to tell "Customers Need Ice Water" and I had to vocally tell her ice and water please. I don't know, been a long week, haven't gone home for 10 days and just been bouncing on and off my rig all across the US....I just wanted some food I could really enjoy today, and Chili Bistro failed to deliver.
