    Tried this place for the first time for their dinner option on a Tuesday. There was no wait and food came out quickly. The spicy pork broth was delicious. I love how thin the meats were. There's plenty of hot food to snack on while you wait for the broth to boil. Crystal was extremely attentive and quick. Will be back!

    Went here for my birthday lunch for the first time and it exceeded my expectations! The appetizers were all delish! My favorites were the crispy pork belly and soy garlic rice. The option for steamed meat was a nice change of pace also but its also only for dinner menu. There are ramens available also but we were so full with everything else we didn't go for it. Crystal was our server, she was fast, friendly, and did not forget anything. The spicy thai broth was good too. Slightly sweet, umami with a hint of seafood.

    I went here with my friends on a Friday night, and surprisingly we easily got a table for 3. We sat in the very back corner and ordered appetizers right away. This is quite literally the thinnest meat you can get anywhere in shabu shabu. I've never seen such a thin cut, and I actually quite liked it. I would not reccomend if you don't like meats with a fattier ratio though. The pork belly appetizer is way too greasy and oily, but the meal is the real star anyway. They have a solid selection of seafood, veggies, and noodles, (although the crab was a bit fishy), and the spicy broth was quite balanced. The service was good because we were sat right next to their refill/cleaning station, and we got all of our ordered items super quick. The stackers actually weren't that impressive to me, they were good but got cold really quickly which made the texture of the meat a bit chewy. It's a good attraction and I'd probably get at least one if I visit again. The sauce bar was solid, and getting my own pot was also a plus. I LOVED the frozen slushy dessert at the end. Will definitely be visiting again!

    We've been coming here for years and every time leave super satisfied. The service and food are absolutely fantastic. The ambiance is very homey, and warm and really great for when you want some comfort food. I love that now almost everything is self service, all of the options at the cold bar and sauce bar really help to customize your own hot pot. 10/10 would recommend any time someone asks for a go-to spot.

    DPot has become our go-to restaurant for the past year. The ambiance is friendly and attentive, and the staff is exceptional. The soup choices and food selection are amazing, but the staff truly makes it a top choice. DPot has become our go-to restaurant for the past year.

    I had a great experience at Dpot. If you're into all-you-can-eat shabu shabu, this spot really stands out. The broth selection is excellent. I went with the bulgogi broth and it was rich, flavorful, and something I'd definitely order again. One of the best parts is that everyone gets their own individual pot, which made me feel super sanitary. The meat quality and selection were impressive, with my favorites being the ribeye and top blade. Both were tender and packed with flavor. A unique touch here is the "stackers," a steamed version of the meats that adds a nice variation from the usual hot pot style. Service was also top notch, and the food came out very quickly, which made a big difference for an all-you-can-eat experience. They also offer dessert slushes to finish the meal. We tried both the pear and sweet rice flavors, and the pear was surprisingly sweeter and very refreshing. Parking is easy since it's in a shared shopping area, and there's plenty of space. The outside area is a nice bonus too, with a small play area for kids and a beautiful view of the lake and mountains.

    3.8 stars!! A unique Korean inspired all you can eat shabu shabu spot with pyunbaek (steamed shabu meat with cabbage) this was something I've never had at a shabu spot so it gets bonus points for that! Broth: As an avid hot pot lover, the soup was just okay to me. The spicy Thai was tangy and too sweet for my liking, I thought it was gonna be similar to tom yum, but it wasnt. Spicy pork ended up being the better soup, can never go wrong with this! Meat: top blade is the best one! we tried wagyu, chuck roll and rib eye. If you are into more leaner meats, top blade is the one to get. For the steamed shabu meat, the chuck roll was my favorite! I think I prefer the steamed meat over the raw regular shabu meat! I would add a bit of salt and red pepper and pepper to the meat to season and it was yummy! Sauce: they have a variety of options here, their sesame sauce was a bit on the sweeter side which is different from other places (not my fav) but they have all the regular toppings you'd find, even a bottle of hot drops! Sides: the selection was pretty solid. Lots of ramen noodles on top shelf to add to your meat which is fantastic! Also seafood and other shabu noodles options were there overall not bad for ayce, I like the steamed meat the best would probably come back and order more of that than their shabu meat.

    Had a great time at DPot. It's always our go-to spot for hot pot around Irvine, especially for their lunch deals. My wife really enjoys coming here, and we always leave satisfied. The meat quality is consistent, and there are plenty of options to choose from. We tried the Pyunbaek steamer, and the galbi eye is always a must. The fried pork belly was also excellent, especially with sesame oil, salt, and pepper. The food and service are always great, and the environment is friendly. For dessert, they served sikhye (sweet rice drink) slushieeeees ,which was refreshing after a heavy meal. Overall, one of the best shabu spots for us. Great price, great food, and always a place we come back to happy tummy happy wife

    My go to spot when I'm visiting OC. this place has great service and the food options are endless. The vibe is here is also awesome. Good music and yummy food.

    Pork belly and chicken!

    dPot!!!! I've been coming and I love the updates! The snack bar quality is good too. Crystal was super helpful and guided us through the tablet and even asked if we needed anything else. Definitely still my go to for shabushabu and will keep coming back.

    This has been our go to spot for shabu for the last 4 years at least. The soup bases are delicious, meat is super fresh, and the stackers keep us coming back.

    Vibes: Bustling, modern hot pot atmosphere, dark and trendy Crowd: Quite busy, be prepared to put your name on the Yelp waitlist Menu: Simple AYCE menu, not a lot of customizability Value for price: 5/5 (pretty affordable for AYCE) Service: Quick, friendly Parking: Tons (Woodbridge shopping center) Came on a date to dPot on a Saturday night at prime time; we put our names on the Yelp waitlist and it ended up being 1hr of waiting. We just explored the shopping center while we waited. The restaurant itself is bustling, but cleaner than most hot pot places I've been too. The self-serve bar has noodles/seafood/vegetables, there's a sauce-mixing station (always has a small line), and some seasonings. Complimentary slush at exit. Otherwise you order at the table. Although the menu was fixed and there were limited meat options for dinner, the price was great for AYCE and the meat quality was not bad. You choose a broth/meat (1 choice per person) and a stacker (recommend the Half/Half Galbi eye/pork belly) and order as many "small bites" as you'd like. The porridge was fantastic; recommend saving that for last. Karaage and soba cold noodles were also a very nice addition to the hot pot itself. Great place for simple, reliable hot pot: just beware the $5 charge for excess leftovers :)

    Brian W.

    Amazing meat quality and service. Love the self-service bar. The bulgolgi broth is really good, which tastes similar to sukiyaki to me. Our server Crystal introduced us to a yuzu tea drink which was amazing and reminded me of the Hong Kong trend of mixing Sprite with tea.

The part I want to really emphasize was the service. The young man that took care of us was very attentive and most importantly, treated my kids so well. He provided them with all their usual needs like plastic silverware, extra bowls for soup, and even offered extra soup when he saw that they devoured the galbi soup.

If you're going with a few people, the Braised Spicy Premium Beef Ribs with the flat glass noodles is definitely the move. The portion easily feeds two to three. The meat is super tender and just falls off the bone, covered in a rich, spicy sauce that has a nice kick to it. The flat glass noodles soak up all that sauce, and the chunks of kabocha squash add a slight sweetness that balances out the spicy, heavy beef. Service is super fast. You get your banchan pretty much the second you sit down, and the food comes out steaming hot without a long delay. If you're looking for a quick group lunch spot where you can split something huge and spicy, it's definitely worth coming here.

I have always really liked this restaurant, which is why today's experience was especially disappointing. Unfortunately, what happened today was truly awful. From the beginning, our server appeared visibly impatient. When we repeated a couple of dish names to make sure the order was correct, she began speaking to us in an unnecessarily loud and irritated tone. Her voice was loud enough that another employee noticed the situation and offered to take over the order. Instead of accepting the help professionally, our server responded that the other employee would not be able to understand what she had written in Korean. When the other employee later asked her to repeat our order, she read it back very loudly and with obvious anger. The entire restaurant could hear her, and the experience made our whole family feel embarrassed and extremely uncomfortable, especially since we had children with us. Later, she seemed to realize that her behavior had affected us. She brought us a noodle dish "on the house" and briefly said sorry. While we appreciated the gesture, it did not undo the way we were treated in front of the entire restaurant. My question is: if you knew your behavior required an apology afterward, why treat customers that way in the first place? Customers should not be made to feel like an inconvenience simply because they are dining with a larger group or placing a larger order. We came to enjoy a family meal, not to be spoken to with hostility and publicly embarrassed. Unfortunately, this experience completely overshadowed the food.
