Their lunch special hits every time! Unlimited meats, unlimited seafood, unlimited veggies, unlimited sauce, unlimited soup, what's there not to love? There's only one worker during slow hours, but she is still attentive, coming by to check if we need more meats, soup, etc. Today was my first day getting the included ice cream. I had the ube and cookies and cream and they were delicious! We love this place!

Julia L.

This place is delicious ! I love the bar style and how I can grab anything sides or sauces i need it's amazing. The service was good and attentive, got us everything we needed at a good pace. The place is cute too i love the aesthetics of it. Deff recommend it was so good and i will deff be back one day.

Spicy Japanese miso / sichuan

We have visited this restaurant with the ownership change and wow what a difference!! Meat selection was very fresh and the self serve veggies and sauces were fresh as well and everything was clean! Our server I think his name was Rafael was very professional and was attentive to us the entire time. Highly recommended! I'm glad we gave this place another chance with the new change. Both of our broths were very flavorful the spicy Japanese miso and the sichuan broth was delicious! Very flavorful! I would only say the AC didn't keep up and we were pretty hot but it was 100 degrees outside so I would imagine the AC just wasn't keeping up. But if it was cooler in there it would have perfect. Either way we would return!!

I visited Chuan pot for the first time this past weekend, on a Saturday to be exact. When I went there were a few people in there celebrating a birthday but other than that it was pretty empty. The place is very inviting, a decent size with plenty of tables. For drinks I had their Strawberry Matcha and it was pretty good. They have all you can eat hot pot with a few broth options, meats, appetizers and ice cream. We ended up ordering clean and clear and the spicy miso. They have lunch specials Monday through Thursday.

Free ice cream!

First time here with my family. It was fairly priced. I like the selection of meat choices since we basically only eat brisket, beef round, beef chuck eye, and lamb. They do have chicken and pork as well. We enjoyed the other amenities: the sauce bar, assorted seafood, assorted vegetables, and assorted noodles. All of it was fresh and yummy! The servers were friendly and attentive. The restaurant is roomy and good for group gatherings. Parking is not an issue for it is in a plaza. We will definitely come back.

Menu (back)

My family and I (group of 5) had a Sunday lunch at this restaurant. We arrived right at opening so we were seated right away and only half of the restaurant was occupied. Our order was taken right away and given right away too. We ordered mushroom and spicy miso broth. I felt the spicy miso had great flavor, but wished it was spicier. I wish I could have tasted more umami/mushroom flavor in the mushroom broth. There's a cold bar where you can get various seafood and vegetable items. There's a lot of options for both. Good quality for the vegetables and seafood. Same can be said for the meat. Everything is all-you-can-eat for a reasonable price ($25 for lunch and $30 for dinner).

Split broth
Vera L.

With the amount of ayce hot pots places around, it's tougher to stand out. I tried their house special broth and their "Yao Hon" Cambodian broth. Not sure if it was the sauce I made, but everything was salty. The workers are very friendly and attentive to us, but they did not check or restock the self-serve bars. The vegetables, garlic, green onions, cilantro, rice were all empty. Overall the variety for AYCE is lacking.

Sauce Bar
Crystal K.

This place was amazing! My mother recommended this place cause it had a Cambodian Soup Base called "Yao Hon" which is a one of my favorite hot pot soup bases that is not very common. The meats and the variety's of seafood and veggies were spectacular. The customer service was wonderful as well. They came and checked on us often and made sure we had our fill of meats and we were comfortable. I will be coming back again soon and recommending this place to my friends and family.

Drink menu

I went with my boyfriend for the first time. The meat selection menu was really small, only 8 choices. There was a 90 minute time limit. The rules for how many meat platters we could order was confusing. We asked twice for clarification and we were still confused about the meat platters. I overheard other customers ask again as well, they were confused by the rules too. This restaurant is supposed to be all you can eat (AYCE) but that seems inaccurate and misleading. We ordered spicy miso and clean & clear broth. The broths were good! We didn't get individual pots, so the temperature was super inconsistent. My broth was barely boiling, while his was boiling nonstop. The veggies (mushrooms, carrots, tofu) were still too tough and chewy after boiling 40 minutes. We used forks but they only had small plastic ones. Our bowls were small and metal, so we couldn't pick it up while eating. The platters had only 4-5 slices of thin meat. The service was fair. The ambiance was okay, there was music in the background and lots of space. There were 3 big frozen self serve areas, seafood, veggies, sauces. The restaurant was empty, considering it was lunch time. There was a good variety of toppings, meat and seafood. We went for lunch special for $25/person. It was not worth the price, limited meat selection and fair service. Empty restaurants are foretelling.

Miso on the left and yao han on the right
Angelie O.

Went here for my birthday a while back since I was craving hot pot and it was SO DELICIOUS! This place is so special because they have a Cambodian broth called yao han and it was so rich in flavor. My husband is Khmer and said it tasted very close to how his mom makes it. The owners were so sweet and the service was so fast! The really took care of us. There were many options for the veggies and meat also. I was impressed with the cleanliness because some hot pot AYCE places don't put the same amount of care. We will definitely be back and will bring our family too!

Angelina H.

Came for lunch on a weekday to avoid the crowd. This place offers good value for the price along with a large selection of hotpot items. The place is clean with plenty of dining space.

miso and clean broth
Tammy V.

Definitely coming back here soon! One of the best hotpot places I've been to. Amazing service and they have good selections of veggies and meat. My favorite was definitely their beef short plate. The marbling was incredible and everything tasted amazing. I also love how the interior of the place is decorated. They opened up pretty recently so I would definitely recommend!

House Special & Spicy Miso
Stephanie T.

Needed to find a replacement for Shabuya and Broth which have both been going downhill. Happy to stumble upon this savory little gem in a busy strip mall next to H mart. The restaurant just changed ownership and the new owners are lovely, attentive and wonderful people. Talk about a great mom and pop shop! Now for the food. You can select two broths for the table. (The pot was huge btw!) We chose the House Special which was very spicy and had the Szechuan kick and spicy miso. Both broths were flavorful with just the right amount of spices. The meats were fresh and tasty. They also had a great seafood and salad bar that had a great variety and all the selections scrumptious. Overall, the food was great, the staff was superb (shoutout to our adorable waitress, Elissa!) and the restaurant super clean. Will definitely be back.

Absolutely TERRIBLE experience. Do not waste your time or money here…read more The moment we walked into Fu's Restaurant, it felt like stepping into a sauna. It was 79 degrees inside, muggy, humid, and completely uncomfortable. We almost turned around and left immediately. The place was practically empty, which honestly should have been our first red flag. We decided to give them a chance anyway. Big mistake. My colleague and I were offered water or hot tea. We both ordered hot tea. The menu clearly says in English that hot tea is $2.99. Nowhere does it clearly explain in English that you will be charged differently depending on how many people drink it. When the bill came, we were charged $5 each. Apparently, there is some clarification written in Chinese, but how are customers who do not read Chinese supposed to know that? That is completely misleading. The tea portions were not larger, not special, nothing different. Just basic tea. The pricing felt deceptive. We also ordered popcorn chicken and chili wonton soup. Both came out in tiny portions that looked like appetizers, yet the menu does not clearly label them as such. For what we received, paying over $30 total felt ridiculous. The food itself was mediocre at best. Nothing memorable and definitely not worth the price. Because of the uncomfortable temperature, confusing pricing, small portions, and average food, we chose not to leave a tip. As we were walking out, the waiter chased us outside and pressured us about the zero tip. That is completely inappropriate. Tipping is not mandatory. It is earned. Confronting customers outside over a tip is unprofessional and embarrassing. Between the heat, the questionable menu pricing, the small portions, and being confronted outside, this was one of the worst dining experiences I have had in a long time. We will never be back. There are plenty of better places within the same plaza than to dine here. I don't expect this place to last long anyway.

The price point felt very fair, especially with the dumplings coming in at $14.85. Ambiance was casual and clean, jazz music with nice wall art. ​The food was good, the scallion pancakes were perfect for splitting between us. I also really appreciated the balanced portion control; it felt like just the right amount of food without being overwhelming. We were only ones in the restaurant near end of business on a Sunday night. Service speed was expected as cook to order. Definitely a good spot if you're looking for a simple and reasonable meal in Walnut or near Mt. San Antonio College. FYI photos are of the wall art, food was devoured.

I came in on a Sunday afternoon around 3pm, and my first impressions walking in was the interior is clean and pleasantly warm. I ordered the creamy mala seafood pasta since it was the most unique dish on the menu. Service was good but nothing special. Creamy mala seafood pasta, 2.5/5: The pasta was inoffensively average. There were some bites that were creamy and some bites that weren't. I honestly thought it could use more cream or butter to add some more richness. The pasta itself was al dente. There wasn't much flavor overall with the dish, and the mala was very mild (for reference, I can handle medium spice levels at other restaurants). The seafood quality was okay for the price. Overall, I thought the ambiance was really nice, but the pasta I ordered was average at best. Maybe I will give this place a 2nd chance and try something else.

Owners are so nice and cool, one is the chef and the other is a pastry chef. Atmosphere and vibes were nice in a Saturday evening, but food could be a bit better. It's fine for a casual dining but nothing really stood out to me except maybe the Kale salad that was good and never really had it that way before. Brother enjoyed his food and was happy with everything. With that said, we will still come back because the owners and atmosphere are still worth the trip. Maybe will try something else on the menu next time.

I am so glad we chose Hide Out Cafe in Rowland Heights to have our celebration. The food is delicious, the staff is so friendly, and the cafe is so cozy and welcoming. My brother was sponsoring our meal since he couldn't make it, so of course we had to go all out and order two drinks and two main dishes. (Thank you, big brother)! I got the Boba Bear Set $8.50, which comes with a drink and two house-made cookies, and my mom got their Tiramisu Latte $7.00, which is heavy on the coffee liquor, to be honest, but we had fun with it. The drinks are crafted beautifully, and with the open cafe concept, you can see they pay attention to the small details of their crafted drink menu. The house-made cookies that were a part of my Boba Bear Set are not to be forgotten. The cookies are buttery, decadent, and delicious; they are the perfect tea cookies to pair with! I can't wait to go back and try more of their fun drinks and maybe bring a study book the next time. For our main dishes, we shared the Chimi Wagyu & Frites $35.00, and the Fresh Avocado Toast $19.00. We both love eggs so of course we had to get something with eggs in our dish. My mom loved her avocado toast, and they were very generous with the avocado as well on there. The salad is a definite hit with us and included a great dressing on the side. The eggs were cooked perfectly on top of our toast and steak. The frites with my steak were crispy and seasoned well. I also loved the chimi sauce with my steak as well. The portion was huge so we were able to take some back home to enjoy another day. Overall, my mom and I had a great experience and would absolutely come back for another sip of their lattes and try another fun drink on their menu. We left with happy smiles and full stomachs, and can't wait to come back soon.
