    Me and my husband discovered this place and wanted to give it a try. We never have had hot pot before so it was a new experience.. the price point was kind of high but it was all you can eat. We didn't know really what to expect. Maybe hot pot just isn't our thing. Not saying that the food was bad. It was just nothing special for us. The service was good and they explained everything to us. Maybe we need to give it one more chance.

    This is noe my top go to shabu hot pot spot. This place has the cleanest and most fresh ingredients. . Crawfish was large and didnt taste frozen like other hot pot spots.. meat was fresh of course. Their sauce selection isnt the largest but the ones they do have have sooooo much flavor and depth. But not overly salty. Impressed to say the least. Every ingredient was fresh.. service is attentive. And so much variety in proteins at the bar. Ambiance is beautiful. Must try. Even the tripe was fhe best quality ive eaten. So happy my friend put me on.

    Used to come here a lot, haven't been back since the early years of the pandemic. We came on a Friday with a table of 9 people. They were able to seat us right away. The server was attentive. All the meat were fresh! The scallops & octopus tasted a bit fishy, crawfish was jumbo size but not much flavor. The fish & all the veggies were delicious. Loaded up on my fiber!. Restaurant & bathroom were clean. The restaurant wasn't too busy or loud for a Fri night which made dinner more enjoyable! All in all, always a good go to spot if you want a local AYCE hotpot spot in the IE.

    It's been a while since I've been here. My boyfriend and I were craving hotpot. We looked near and far and somehow we were both drawn to go here. And I'm glad we did. We went around lunchtime, so it wasn't too busy. We were seated right away. The food at the bar was fresh. The paper they give you to self order your appetizers, drinks, meats, and dessert (ice cream) is really convenient. They give a good amount of meat portions per person. And you have up to 3 rounds to order meat. The food from the bar is unlimited. They have everything from sauces, to more appetizers or small foods, a variety of vegetables, rice, noodles, seafood, and fruits. Service was great. Our server checked up on us from time to time for drink refills, to clean up our table, and to get our paper for more food orders. Such a chill ambiance here. It's a large restaurant, so even if it gets loud, you're not talking over each other during dinner. It's very spacious, so when you're up to get your food you're not bumping into people. This was my boyfriend's first time here and he really enjoyed himself. I'm glad I took him here. This is definitely a place worth checking out if you're craving hotpot.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I really really love this place,, I always leave stuffed. I go in and the meat is always fresh,, the veg is always places nicely and everything is very clean. The staff are very welcoming and nice, my table never has dishes on it for long and the dishes are always clean.

    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.

    Same sauce that I use this time. This is scallops. The scallops come out perfect if you know how to cook your seafood correctly.

    We actually discovered this place during COVID when they had everything set up outside, and let me tell you... they accommodated their customers so well. It was organized, safe, and still such a great experience. We have been coming back ever since. If you're wondering what keeps me coming back... First, the service is incredible. There is an older gentleman with salt and pepper hair who is always so professional and kind. He carries himself with such calm confidence and respect. The entire staff is friendly and welcoming, but he truly stands out every single time. Second, the OPTIONS. The spread here is amazing. From sauces to fresh vegetables, noodles, seafood, fruit, and dessert, there is something for everyone. And can we talk about the watermelon? For some reason, it is always perfectly sweet. Every single time. I am a huge shrimp lover, so being able to make my own shrimp in the hot pot is a dream. Fresh, flavorful, and cooked exactly how I like it. It is such a fun experience. Pro tip: Here is the sauce combo I put together and it is chef's kiss. In a bowl add jalapeños, cucumbers, hot chili, chili oil, sesame oil, and ponzu sauce. Then top it with fresh cilantro. It is so fresh, spicy, tangy, and delicious. You will thank me later. If you are looking for a place that is comfortable, not overwhelmingly crowded, and consistently delivers great food and service, this is the place to go. We have been loyal ever since we found it, and it never disappoints.

    Came in a few days ago and I must say we just found our new spot in Ontario/Rancho Cucamonga area…read more Green beans, dry bean curd with chives, mapo tofu, chili chicken cube, everything was phenomenal. Absolutely coming back every other week. Super nice lady. Chef killed it.

    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.
