Everytime I dine at Broth it is truly such a delight. The food is absolutely amazing and the value you get for AYCE is great too. I love getting tonkatsu broth and the beef toro just melts in your mouth. Andrew was our server and he was outstanding. Was super attentive and made sure to get all our orders over to us in a timely manner. We had lots of requests, from extra silverware to drink orders, Andrew delivered it all to us with a smile. Fantastic experience all around!

Found this place on yelp as I was looking to check out a new restaurant in the area. This is an all-you-can-eat shabu/hotpot restaurant. You first choose the soup base, and then you can order different types meat (beef, chicken, pork, and lamb) with your waiter/waitress (unlimited rounds). Aside from the meats, there is an area where you can select additional ingredients you like vegetables, different type of noodles, and surprising some seafood as well (shrimp, fish balls, clams, mussels, and crabs). There is another bar for making your own dipping sauces. Meat wise, it comes in small trays with a few thin slices at a time, so make sure you order plenty per round. Our waitress in-training Chloe was very attentive and provided excellent service! All the food was excellent except for the appetizers... the chicken karaages (small pieces of deep fried chicken) were all very hard to chew. Overall, good place to check it out if you like AYCE style hotpot style. Just don't order the karaage appetizers. Decently priced considering the area, and plenty of parking next to the restaurant.

FINALLY went to Broth, on a 90 degree day, lmao! Had this place bookmarked for years. Good thing they had ac running. Was able to get on the waitlist from home and by the time we arrived, we were seated immediately. It was surprisingly very busy and they are firm on the 90-minute rule, with a last call and all. Great service all-around. Donnie was awesome. So nice, so attentive, so friendly. Great vibes. Music was on point. We was movin' and groovin' while cookin' and eatin'. Great food options at the buffet counter with delicious broth and meats delivered by Donnie. And you know the best part? It was hella cheaper than Shibuya in La Mirada. 5 stars, definitely coming back.

Followed our daughter suggestion we decided to have dinner at this Shabu place. It was a different surprised , and it was kind of busy place. Good vibes, food was delicious with all the side dishes for your convenience. Only thing I was kinda disappointed was me , my wife and me kept asking for water so many times mind you we ordered water after the waitress took our orders. It was good 20 minutes later it finally came. I know they were busy , but at least acknowledge we were there. Anyway, overall the place was cleaned and people was hang a good time.

Came here on a Saturday evening & had a party of 7 yet Donny was still patient & able to accommodate us quickly ! Amazing service from him & kept checking up on us consistently. Such a great ambience from him & great service! Food ofc was amazing as usual

The server Donny gave me and my date such a wonderful experience. Everything i ordered came quick and neatly. He took his time to explain all the questions we had. Would definitely come back just because of Donny. Hes the man! Give him a raise you guys, seriously!

Food is always so so good!!! We had Nathan today and he was the best. Super kind and attentive with our table. We come often but this positive experience will for sure have us come back. Even though it's been hot, the inside area is cool with a nice aesthetic vibe. Great selection; something for everyone.

My first time and they didnt disappoint. We came around 5:30 on a Thursday and was seated immediately. They explained things well for me as a first timer. I had the house broth and my friend had the spicy miso. Hers was good but I'm a whimp and dont like spicy and it was a tad too much for me but i believe it's good for a normal person. The house broth was decent enough. The meats were top quality. No skimpyness on quality. There is also a superb selection of veggies, other seafood, and carbs. I absolutely love the self serve and options. It was a nice fun vibe and super friendly staff. Ill definitely come back. Parking is super easy as it is located in a mall lot.

Meats - you can order 12 at a time
Tony R.

Broth definitely delivered! Shoutout to Naddy (hopefully I'm spelling that right ) -- she was super nice and accommodating and hooked us up with a nice booth. And Ram Ram was the MVP, keeping the meat coming like we were training for a shabu shabu championship. The broth selection is legit. Spicy Miso and Tonkatsu are my go-to recommendations. The lunch special has a great meat selection, but if you miss lunch, the dinner selection is too. Appetizers are good, and the buffet/sauce station has everything you need to build your perfect combo. But the REAL winner? That broth at the bottom of the pot. After all the meat has been cooking, all those juices and flavors get into the pot and turn that broth into liquid gold. Great food, great service, and definitely coming back. 5 stars!

Ask the Community - Broth Shabu-Shabu

How much the dinner?

$29.99...it's market, but considering the quality of the meat, it's well worth it.

Are the broths gluten free?

Every when is lunch price ? Is it everyday or only weekdays?

Monday to Friday until 3pm excluding holidays. Children lunch special pricing also available

Is it 20-30 dollars for everything? Like meat included and soups and everything? Obviously drinks would be apart from that but I was just wondering how the pricing worked and what the charges were.

The pricing is inclusive of all-you-can-eat meat for the soup, soup, veggies, sauce, and appetizers. You order the meats with the server and they have a veggie bar and a sauce bar. Drinks are additional but the price includes everything else.

How much is it per person for lunch time?

$20 per person plus any drinks tax tip etc

How spicy is the spicy miso, say for example compared to Sriracha is it spicier or less?

It has a nice spiciness but I always add some hot drops to kick it up a notch.

How can reservations for more 4 pp?

Make your reservation on Yelp!

I'm allergic to peanuts - is there anything with peanuts?

Yeah just avoid the Goma Sauce. It's literally made out of peanuts

Planning to go around 7:30- 8pm on a Monday. How long is the wait around that time for a large party (12 people)? What time is last call?

Recommend calling for a reservation for a large party.

Do they do single pots or only one for everyone?

Each person gets their own pot... thank goodness!

What time you open?

I believe it opens at 11:30 AM

Does broth take reservation?

via Yelp yes!

When are you going to serve octopus again? 😭😭?

Haven't seen octopus recently... But they did add pineapple squid 🤷‍♀️

This place is listed today as having outdoor seating. Is it still available? If it is, is it covered or heated? How many people can sit there? / April 8, 2023

I was literally just there and yes, they have outdoor seating. It's covered with a canopy but I don't know how many people can fit there. It looked like a decent size

Do you serve salmon?

No did you not have salmon but they have a variety of other fish like shrimp, mussels, crab, and I want to say maybe tilapia?

Open on Super Bowl Sunday?

Yes, they'll be open.

Are they open today New Year's Eve?

Probably, always opened lol

Are pets allowed?

No. It's very busy and you get up to go to the buffet etc so I small animal would get trampled and panicked, likely. There is a sign on the front like most restaurants that says no pets allowed since it's the law but here especially would not be a… 

What is the maximum number of people that can be seated at a table?

I have seen up to 20. But I would call I'm sire they can do more.

Is there wifi there?

No. There isn't for guests

When we first got in they sat us at a two top and right away I need that table would be quite small for what I was planning to order, so we asked for a bigger table and they were kind enough to accommodate us. Ordering was quick as we new exactly what we wanted. We went with the all beef combo yakiniku. The guys were very organized and really worked well with each other. They immediately brought out our sides and dipping sauces and got the grill started for the coals to preheat. I knew that other table would be small as the charcoal grill took up the other half of a four top. I was surprised that they started cooking the meats for us, as I was prepared to do it myself. The experience was fantastic and the meats were very tasty. I really loved that the guys like tag team to check and cook the meats for us. The service was very smooth.

Katsu and udon combo was so good but so much food haha. We originally thought it meant a side of udon NOODLES. Not a whole bowl of udon soup. We were shocked to say the least. But it was still so good. Got seated right away! And the service was very attentive. Place was nice and chill low lighting. One of the guys who I think is the owner was very nice and energetic talking to all the tables. He's probably one of the reasons why we will be coming back again! And to try the Gyu Katsu!

First meal off the plane…read more Came back to LA for another business trip about a week after heading home, and the first thing I did was grab lunch with a couple of colleagues at BCD Tofu House, close to our office in Artesia. Not my first time at BCD. I went to one in the LA area a long time ago. This place does very authentic Korean cuisine, and the soon tofu soup is my favorite. It arrives bubbling in the stone pot, silky tofu in a savory red broth, and with a bowl of white rice it is just so savory and good. I also ordered the spicy pork bulgogi, which came out sizzling on a hot plate. Thin slices of pork in a red chili marinade, moderately spicy, and really good. One thing that gives me a lot of confidence: the place was full of Korean people having their meals. That tells you everything about how legit it is. The atmosphere is nice without being fancy. A good spot to bring the family and enjoy some Korean food with ice cold beer and soju, of course. Service was top notch. Really good lunch. I will be back.

My first time at BCD, isn't that wild? That's been all my reactions from my friends and I do say it…read moredoes live up to the hype. We waited a bit to get seated as it was crowded on a Sunday night. They served up their normal bites before, kimchi, fish etc. I got their combo with bulgogi and tofu soup. Bulgogi came with a lot of onion and was pretty average. Tasted well with the soup and rice. Soup was also good. Nothing bad to say about this spot and if I'm in the mood for some good soup and Korean food, I would come back here in a heartbeat. Parking here is tough because it's a busy parking lot.

The quality is excellent for the price, and the overall price is actually very reasonable compared to many other sushi restaurants in OC. There are many all-you-can-eat sushi places with huge menus, but sometimes there's not much you actually want to eat. This place is different. It was actually even better than I expected.

We came in around opening time on Saturday and we were the first customers! The place is very spacious and seems to be clean! Service was prompt! Fish was relatively fresh for all you can eat quality (lets not expect omakase quality here, okay?!) and the rice to fish ratio wasn't bad! I will say I do feel like the ratio isn't bad because the fish itself is sliced pretty thinly compared to other AYCE sushi spots. They have a good variety of appetizers as well, and of course the salmon and yellowtail collars are available at an additional charge - this seems to be the norm at most AYCE sushi places these days. My two only minor complaints is that in the photos, what I saw for seared salmon nigiri was not what we got. Perhaps it's a different style of sear but I was really craving the typical peppered sear...if I had known we were not getting that, I would have chosen a different spot. The no rice rolls were on the bigger side, so by the time I finished those, I was pretty much too full to order a second round. I really appreciate AYCE sushi places that also make the rolls smaller so you can try more things, but I understand that may be a business tactic to get you to eat less... For dessert, they give you a good scoop of ice cream! Green tea ice cream for me~ Overall, it's a solid spot! If I don't want to wait for the other popular ayce sushi spots in the area, I'd come here.

Surprisingly the sausage rice cake and the tteokbokki tasted completely different. The sausage rice cake had a thicker, drier sauce that was much stronger and spicier while the tteokbokki wasn't spicy at all. I personally preferred the tteokbokki and my bf preferred the sausage rice cake so it worked out perfectly :) The portion of the tteokbokki was really good, easily enough for at least 2 servings. I also really appreciated that they packed the katsu separately from the tteokbokki so it wouldn't get soggy on the way home. The only downside was that the katsu itself was a little dry but dipping it into the tteokbokki sauce actually helped a bit. I also tried my bf's katsu sandwich. It tasted exactly like what it sounds like but unfortunately it just wasn't really my cup of tea. The waffle fries were good, though I wish there had been a little more. The best part of our visit was definitely the customer service. The sweet older lady at the front was so kind and welcoming. She greeted everyone when they came in and again when they left, and you could really feel how warm and friendly she was. She honestly made the experience feel extra welcoming!! Overall, we enjoyed our food and would definitely come back to try some of the other items!

It was so good that I didn't even get a proper picture, before I knew it, I was down to the last piece! What made the experience even sweeter was the beautiful handwritten note included with my order. To whoever wrote it, thank you for making my day that much brighter. It was such a thoughtful and unexpected touch. Great food, wonderful service, and a little extra kindness that made the whole experience memorable. Katsu Bar Cerritos, I'll definitely be back!
