enjoying our food, so delicious
Diana S.

just come and experience it. Their broth and fixings are so good and filling. The service is quick, and the ambiance was simple but very clean.

tomato based diy pot
Natalie Y.

seriously a great deal over here! i just wish there were more meat options, and the selection was a little too fatty for my liking. flavor wise, the tomato based one was really good! i cant do spice very well so it was perfect. i like the konjac noodles and the veggie selection :) super casual establishment and a quiet sort of vibe. the workers are humble and seem like nice people! very kind and hospitable.

Mild beef broth (a little over a pound)
Liz B.

I love malatang and the concept of picking your own ingredients and paying by weight. It was $14 per pound plus an additional few dollars for the broth, and one pound was the perfect portion size. My favorite things to get were the sliced beef and the squid legs, they also had a wide variety of noodles. The only complaint I had was that the broth itself was a little too salty. The complimentary sauce bar was also great, it had all the usual things I use, like garlic, cilantro, green onion, and sesame oil. They also had a chili oil that was quite spicy and can be used to adjust the spice level of your choice. After weighing and paying at the register, the cashier brought out our soup very quickly, within five minutes. I enjoyed this spot as a casual and customization quick meal.

Came to Fast Hot and it is your classic build your own hot pot spot with plenty of toppings to choose from. At $13.99 per lb, it is a pretty good deal for loading up on whatever you are craving. I went for the house special dry pot and the flavors were a little more nutty than expected but still very tasty. The mild level was not too spicy at all and I actually wish I had gone for the spicier option for more of a kick. The only thing that brought the experience down was the seating situation. I told the worker I wanted to eat there but she said there were no seats so I had to take it to go. One table was already cleared with the people leaving and another was cleared right after we ordered, but she gave the first one to people who had not ordered food. I even overheard her telling them in Chinese that they could sit there, maybe thinking I could not understand. It felt like she just did not want us to eat there which was disappointing because I was really excited to try this place and enjoy the food fresh. Food was good but the way I was treated really took away from the experience.

Fast Hot Pot is a build your own hot pot where you pay by weight. I love places like this because you have so much flexibility about what you get. The hot pot was good and I liked the flower shaped fish cakes a lot! The signs are a bit confusing and all over the place, though. So sometimes, I wasn't really sure what I was grabbing and mostly relied on my own knowledge. I did ask about a few items, though and they were very helpful. There are several broth choices which I appreciate, including some I had not seen much at other places before. This is a very casual spot. You get your bowl together and pay at the counter. They'll take your stuff and cook it up for you in the back. Utensils, sauces, and water are self serve. Some of the sauce stuff is at the sauce / utensil counter while others will be at your table. Make sure you have a table (inside or outside) before ordering or you might be out of luck trying to figure out where to eat it. Overall, it's a cute small family business and I'd come back here again. Service is good because the people are friendly. The prices are reasonable and very on par with others in the area. It's in The District, so there's free parking, but it might be tough to get a spot.

The best combo!
Mike W.

Love this place. Quality ingredients, great price and very friendly staff. Repeat customer forever--it's fantastic on a cold day, too!

Bokchoy, cabbage, pork + beef + lamb, quail eggs, spam, udon, etc  Soup base: classic spicy hotpot beef rib soup, lite mild
Michelle K.

I came here on a cold Sunday night with two friends and had a very nice experience. This is a self serve place based on the weight of your food, so I was able to grab some tongs and get a nice variety of meat, veggies, and noodles (I even got some quail eggs!). Then, they weigh your bowl for you and cook it with broth - I got the classic spicy hotpot beef rib soup at lite mild spice. I was pretty worried that it would be really spicy (I'm weak to hot Cheetos) but it was honestly the perfect amount of spice! The bowl was humongous and the food was just sooo good, excellent for dispelling the cold. I didn't experience any stomach pains after, which was a bonus. There's also a dipping sauce station to the side if you need it. I really appreciate the owner and other worker's attentiveness and their nice variety of ingredients. Would love to come back again soon!

Fish Maw Chicken Soup Base
Gerina O.

Had a random craving for this place so I stopped by on Thursday night. The staff was polite and service was fast. You grab a bowl and tongs and select your own ingredients first, then you bring it to the counter and they weigh it and ask what soup you would like. I chose the fish Maw Chicken soup this time. It was tasty, a little on the salty side. I'm not sure I would pay for the upgrade next time because the regular soup is pretty good. There are a few tables inside but I've never had trouble finding a seat. They also have the option to take it to go. Will definitely be back.

yummy sauce bar
Quinn N.

tl,dr: interesting spot for some to-go hot pot. After you select all your ingredients, you bring your bowl to the cashier to weigh and price it, then they'll cook it. Likes: + Wide selection of ingredients to add to your bowl. I even indulged in their exotic ingredients, like tripe, duck blood, quail egg, and maybe gizzards. + The cashier lady was nice and helpful despite her lack of English proficiency. + Yummy sauce bar. Non-likes: - The cashier lady does not speak English. Thankfully, a nice guest there helped explain to me how ordering food works here. Also fortunately, my mediocre Mandarin skills helped carry me the rest of the way. - Also, the cashier lady didn't really know how to work the machine, so at first she was gonna charge me an extra $2 on the spicy option, but thankfully she reimbursed me after I pointed this out. - Considering her language and technology barriers, "Slow Hot Pot" would've been a more suitable name for this establishment. Gripe: - A little expensive. For a $33 lunch I could still eat more.

This place is an absolute GEM! My gf and I have been coming here every Sunday lunch for months now after the farmers market and occasionally for dinner, and it's become our comfort food haven. Not only is it reasonably priced, but I love the selection of ingredients and flavour of the soups and dry spice bowls. It takes me back to when I lived in Shanghai. I'm not sure, but I think they are a small family that runs it - we have our regular table outside and the uncle there always brings out the dishes with a huge smile on his face and says in Chinese, "eat it while it's hot!!" with the friendliest vibe. Also, their current $29.99 ayce deal with the skewers is amazing - we nearly burst after eating there last week. I genuinely love fast hot pot haha don't ever change!!

Warm and hearty Hot Pot every Sunday
Avid Foodie 1.

I'm absolutely obsessed with this Fast Hot Pot restaurant! My husband and I dine here every Sunday! We've tried many Malatang restaurants but none compare to this place in terms of flavor and friendly service. The umami flavors of the hot pot always hit the spot! The owner was super sweet and gave us some free delicious coconut jello for dessert!

Beef bone broth and more

The soup base is amazing. The workers are super nice and even though there was a language barrier they accommodated and were super helpful. The vibes are great. 10/10 soup and vibes. I noticed a few people walk in and leave (a little intimidating) but you should definitely give it a try!!!

Shrimp Tempura for this price you get 5 pieces of tempura accompanied with the tempura dipping sauce. the tempura is perfectly crisp and flakey while staying soft inside! Tuna Roll simple, fresh and clean, this 6 piece roll was not too filling but acted as a nice add on to our appetizer. Spicy Beef Udon served in a boiling hot pot, this udon is spicy, hot and sizzling. the standard level of spice is free but to make it spicier there is an additional fee. the flavors of this udon were delicious and i liked the greens that came in it. there wasn't much beef inside and due to the sizzling pot my noodles got really soft faster than i could eat them. it also comes with a cheesy rice ball on the side that you're supposed to mix into your soup once you've finished the noodles. i personally didn't love it. i felt like it didn't really match the flavor of the soup and the outer crust of the ball was way too hard and crunchy for my liking, but my boyfriend thought it tasted good together so to each their own. Cold Spicy Egg and Tororo Tsukemen if you're a fan of the cold, dip ramen (tsukemen), then this dish is for you! the cold noodles are served perfectly chewy and al dente and it pairs well with the egg and tororo dip. the boy added a side of meat for an additional charge because it isn't served with any on its own!

The service was fast and they were constantly checking on my friend and i if we were ready. Food came out in about 10 minutes~, even though we were talking a lot the food was still really hot. We got the scallion oil noodles (I forgot what they're called), gyudon bowl, and 2 servings of dumplings! My friend and I were stuffed and we eat a lottttt. We also had their drinks which weren't bad for $6.50. He had the strawberry matcha and I had the jasmine tea with crystal boba! For take out, the food was packed neatly & the set of condiments and utensils they provide is really good. It felt a little more "higher end" of a take out place.

They don't have many table to seat large parties (3+) they mostly have bar seating and the booth seating is pretty tightly packed so just a heads up that if you have a larger party you might need to wait longer. Luckily I got sat in their few middle tables that were spacious. I was able to order quickly and the workers are nice and gave me recommendations. Passion fruit green tea and this was definitely my favorite thing I ordered that day the drink was so light, refreshing, flavorful, but not too sweet the passion fruit seeds being in the drink was annoying though. (4/5) Spicy XLB they came out quick but I wished they were hotter they were just warm but delicious flavor and filling sadly was not spicy though no kick no heat at all. (3/5) Beef rolls nice and crispy lots of scallions and the cucumbers added a nice fresh aspect and crunch but needed more sauce. (3/5) Pan fried dumplings took the longest to come out were crispy but not that flavorful again very filling though. (2/5) Golden prime beef noodle soup I'm sorry but this was just not for my taste at all I can't even describe what flavor the soup was something I have never had before very unique. The noodles were nice and chewy but again I'm expecting soup to be hot but it just came out warm. (1/5) They had some sauce and chili oil on the table and I made a mix but it did not help add flavor to any of the items. I ordered too much and the leftover beef rolls and pan fried dumplings reheated well in the air fryer.

Sup Noodle Bar has quickly become one of my favorite spots in Irvine. The restaurant strikes a…read moregreat balance between casual comfort food and high-quality ingredients, and every visit has been consistently enjoyable. The star of the menu is definitely the pho. The broth is rich, flavorful, and clearly simmered with care--not overly salty or greasy like some places. The meats are tender, portions are generous, and the noodles always have the perfect texture. If you're a first-time visitor, I highly recommend trying one of their signature pho bowls. Their garlic noodles are another standout. Perfectly seasoned with a buttery garlic flavor and a slight savory kick, they pair incredibly well with the grilled meats. The shaken beef and grilled pork are both excellent options if you're looking for something beyond traditional pho. One thing that really sets Sup Noodle apart is the variety of appetizers and sides. The crispy egg rolls are packed with flavor, and the wings are surprisingly good--crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and coated with just the right amount of sauce. Don't skip the house sauces either; they elevate every dish. The restaurant itself is modern, clean, and welcoming. Even during busy lunch and dinner hours, the staff does a great job keeping things moving and maintaining a friendly atmosphere. Service has always been attentive without feeling rushed. A few tips for first-time visitors: * Expect a wait during peak lunch and dinner times, especially on weekends. * The garlic noodles are absolutely worth adding to your order. * If you're dining with a group, order several appetizers to share. * Parking can get busy, but turnover is usually quick. Overall, Sup Noodle Bar delivers excellent food, generous portions, and consistently great service. Whether you're craving a comforting bowl of pho, flavorful garlic noodles, or simply looking for a reliable restaurant in Irvine, this place is well worth the visit. I'll definitely be coming back.

It's a pretty small restaurant with about 12-14 tables with a small bar seating fitting about 8 people. We waited about 15 mins and was seated in the inside. While waiting, there were chairs and a table outside with a couple menus for us to look at ahead so we were ready to order by the time we were seated. Menus and a carafe of iced water was brought out immediately. We asked to order right away as my boys and their friends were hungry and we were in between hockey games for a tournament. There's good lunch deal to add house rolls for $4.95 more or a specialty roll for $7.95 to any ramen We ordered the following; 1. Tonkotsu ramen w/ house salmon roll: I tasted the broth for this. Its a light creamy and flavorful broth. Not salty. 2. Spicy Tonkotsu x 2 w/ house salmon rolls: I tasted the broth for this and it's spicier than the usual spicy tonkatsu I eat in San Jose. Perfect for my spicy preference. One of the 13yo drank the entire bowl of broth and the other 2 almost finished their broth. 3. Habanero Miso w/ Angry Tail: This was hubby's. The broth is very good but it's too spicy for me to enjoy it. 4. Black Ramen: This bowl was for me. I really like this broth flavor alot but wish it was spicy like the spicy tonkatusu. Overall, all the broths were very rich and well flavored, not salty. The noodles were cooked just right, firm.with a nice crunch when you bite into it. The amount of bean sprouts and wood ear mushrooms was just right. The half soft boil egg was perfect but the 3 slices of char xiu pork could taste better. It was bland and was not soft enough as it did not easily break when you bite into it. As for the sushi rolls, It was pretty decent for the price you are paying to add to your ramen order. The service was good as there was only 2 staff running the floor. They were quick to assist us with more water and napkins. We will definitely return in the future if we are in town and craving ramen/sushi combo.
