    Have been meaning to try this place for a very long time, and let's say it was worth the visit! The decor of the restaurant was very pink, pretty and clean, with modern lighting, glossy tiles and interior, and overall has a great space for big groups as well as casual dining. They even have karaoke rooms as well. It was super busy, but the service was superb! We were checked in very quickly, and received our items (soup/apps/meats) within seconds of ordering. The staff were super kind and friendly, assisting with providing recommendations and giving us safety precautions as they want us to have an enjoyable meal. Super appreciative that they check in every so often to see how we're doing and if we'd like to order more. We ordered mostly brisket and ribeye, but the portions were good for the size group we had. It was delicious! I favored the ribeye more. The food bar area was super clean and looked spotless when I went to grab veggies and seafood. The sauce bar was also clean and didn't have drips of sauces lying everywhere. This place also has unlimited soda drinks as well. This place is amazing, loved the food and will definitely come back here again to try their karaoke rooms!

    Spicy miso
    Ann H.

    I am really impressed on the quality of the food and the customer service. AYCE wagyu for $35.99 is a must try. The quality of the wagyu for this price is definitely worth it. My mother does not speak English so it was really nice that our server was able to communicate with her in our native language. I love the vast variety of toppings at the bar that ranges from different meatballs, fishballs, seafood, vegetables, and noodles. There is also a sauce bar. I ordered the spicy miso soup and I really enjoyed it. My favorites are the A5 brisket, A5 ribeye, premium wagyu, Chinese donut, crispy bean curd sheets, and the sesame balls with red bean filling. I would absolutely dine in again.

    We were a party of seven (7), expecting a typical meal via hot pot. We ended up leaving with a wonderful experience, would highly recommend! AMBIENCE ***** Small and cozy; modern vibes. Clean atmosphere. Lights can be also be dimmed in the private rooms for karaoke. SERVICE ***** Incredible service. Very attentive, respectful and kind. Fast and efficient. Very wholesome vibes. PARKING *** Limited parking in the back, can fill up very quickly. Parking on the street is available but does not appear to be as safe. FOOD ***** You select your soup base, which will be brought out to you. You can choose from the selections of veggies, noodles and make your own sauces, which are unlimited, located up front. Drinks (soda and water) are self serve, located up front. The meats and desserts are available, which you can order with your server. Flavorful soup base, delicious meal. Fulfilling and enjoyable! KARAOKE ***** There are a few private rooms available for dining with karaoke. We were fortunate to have had the experience to enjoy dining while karaoke. Very memorable and fun! Perfect for regular dining or celebrations. What a hidden gem -- Let's Pot exceeded my expectations!

    Fried dough with condensed milk

    I've been wanting to try this place, but it's in the hood. Came on a Sunday early evening. We were greeted by who I believe is the owner. He was really nice and checked on us frequently. My wife and I pretty much only eat beef at hot pots and this place had pretty good quality. For the price it is worth coming out to the hood for. If it were in Elk Grove, it would be like 25% more. They did not have the fried foods on display, but you can order them. It is probably better that way since it was slow and you don't want it sitting out there. The place is really clean inside. I enjoyed the full sauce bar and the fresh vegetables. I would go here again.

    I must've driven by this place many times, but finally got to try the hot pot. We had a large party, but David, Angie, and the staff did an excellent job getting us seated and taking our broth orders. I tried the spicy miso broth. Love the individual pots. I was impressed by the deep flavor of the broth. The assortment of meats and fresh veggies is extensive. I enjoyed the brisket, fish balls, Napa cabbage, and baby bok choy. It was perfect on a chilly night. Service was excellent. Our broths were refilled often. Despite it being a busy night, our server seemed to know exactly when we were ready for more meats. The deep fried bun drizzled with condensed milk was very good, not that sweet. The strawberry sago was also delightful. I'm already looking forward to trying the other 15 broths.

    1st time here on Easter Sunday. Everyone was busy, so, this place was not busy, which was a win-win for us! With so many hot pot places popping up, I think this is now my favorite. Our server, and probably owner, Angie, was very hospitable; provided attentive and excellent services. Food selections were great and the price is very reasonable. They also have rooms for private parties and karaoke! Parking is in the back. Great place, I will definitely come back more often! The Mango tapioca dessert was my favorite. I hope they will keep it avaliable all the time.

    Great service, the waiter check in on us frequently. They have over 15 soup based for you to select which is great. The meat is fresh and tender and lots of fresh vegetables. There's a sauce bar for you to make your own sauce is always a bonus. On top of many meat selections. There were meatballs, fish cakes, lobster rolls, and seafood bar for you to get your own. It's convenient so we don't constantly have to order them. There's two private rooms for private parties and karaoke in those room. It's clean and well maintained in the restaurant. Definitely will be back again.

    Popcorn chicken- not di good for me

    Menu was in a sheet of paper, you will just tick whatever you want to order, once your done the server will get it without giving you another sheet (how can i remember all the menu listed). There would be $5 additional if you want to replace or change your broth (same broth refill is free). The restroom looks like a storage ( its a 2 in 1 ). Soda Vendo (drink all you can included).

    Sauce bar

    A few things things this hot pot place has that many do not! 1) Egg noodles! I hope they keep this as it is my favorite noodles. They'll come around to keep filling your hot pot since these noodles tend to be heavier and stick to the bottom of the pot. 2) Fish sauce! This is the only hot pot place I know that has fish sauce as a condiment. 3) Self serve drink 4) Self serve appetizers - few options 5) Sauce bar 6) Private room for party and karaoke!!! There is also Quan Oc too down the street. The owners are so sweet and welcoming. The place isn't as big as the other major hot pot spot. A bit more intimate. I love their options for soup base. Would definitely be coming back.

    The hostess/owner was really welcoming. She took our order and brought out our food. We had a rsvp for 6 for our bday dinners and it was set up on time when we arrived. I love punctual restaurants. They gave us cheesecakes for our birthdays which I thought was super sweet. There were so many options for the broth, which was awesome. I had the tom yum but my friends had the coconut pork and regular house one. Everyone liked their broth. I didn't need any dipping sauce or anything with mine as it was spicy enough for my preference. The meat was delicious and nicely cut. We got the all beef cuts and loved the short rib Wagyu the best. The pork belly and lamb was also pretty tasty. The restaurant became packed after we arrived on a normal Tuesday evening. The servers were attentive and brought us meats quickly. I like the self serve bar for vegetables and noodles. I would definitely come back again.

    Hong Kong Style Satay Peanut Soup
    Susan B.

    I love ayce so had to give this place a try. Came on an early weeknight so they were not busy. Once walked in, we were immediately greeted and seated. Told the staff it was our first time so they explained the process. They allowed 2 samples of soup broths per table. They do charge $5 if you want to change broth. We got Hong Kong style satay peanut and Vietnamese Pho for our broth. The pho broth didn't have the strong usual pho taste but it tasted pretty good overall. Appetizers, veggies, sides, sauces and drinks are all self serve. Meats and deep fried buns will be ordered through the servers. They were pretty good in refilling the food stations. Appetizers and sides all tasted really good. Those definitely filled me up lol. I did feel that they didn't have much veggies options. I liked the variety of noodles they offered. I enjoyed the egg noodles. It was good with my broth. Meats quality was good. Services were quick and attentive. They were all nice and friendly as well. The place is nice decorated, clean and bright. They offered 10% off the bill which was a plus. Overall, had a good experience here.

    Joann T.

    Great food and excellent service in a very calming atmosphere. This is the perfect spot if you want to enjoy a really good meal without loud music or a hectic environment. The space is quiet, comfortable, and relaxing, which makes the experience even better. Staff were attentive and friendly, and the food was fresh and flavorful. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I want a peaceful dining experience.

    Sonam S.

    This is on my list of all time favorite Hot Pot places. I got the spicy miso last time and I got the spicy broth this time and it was the perfect combo of spice and flavor. The service was impressive as well, the staff checked in often without ever hovering, and they were super friendly and helpful, especially if you're new to hot pot. The restaurant was spotless, and had a great vibe.

Also there was also another young man that periodically stopped by to give us waters or pick up empty place that was very kind as well. The inside of the restaurant is always very clean, incredibly spacious, and I really love the modern decor and vibe they have set up. Plus, getting the lunch hot pot for just $21.99 is such an amazing deal for everything you get! The food was incredible as always, with a great selection of fresh meats, seafood, and vegetables right off the conveyor belt, but We always get the Spicy Miso broth and Beef toro, Pork belly, Beef brisket, Rib eye, New Zeland lamb, Collar butt.

I like the sauce bar, and it's always stocked well. I don't think I've ever seen it low on anything. The side dish bar is also well stocked. I like the picked radish and lettuce to eat with my hot pot and sometimes bbq. Their meat selection is great and you don't have to go the expensive to have a good selection of meat for your hot pot either.

I got the Kobe Beef with Miso & Crab Rieu as the two broths. I was able to comfortably split the large size with my husband, but we probably could've used a slightly larger portion for his sake. (He felt a bit hungry after the meal but noted his stomach had settled.) As a party of 5, two of us shared one pot (or two broths) and three shared another pot. The chicken wings appetizer was very flavorful too! (The server listed three options for wings and we went with the one that included jalapeños.)

The meal came with dessert which was a choice of ice cream; I chose the cookies and cream. The chicken wing appetizer was scrumptious. The wings were fried and coated with sauce with lots of jalapenos. Service was good as the employee offered samples of all their broths to assist in making a selection. After the food was served he checked if we needed anything and refilled water. There is indoor and outdoor seating. It was busy on a Saturday evening so reservations are recommended.

Condiments and sauces are self serve, as well as side dishes like seaweed salad. Tao's definitely has the variety and the set up is convenient. Staff is friendly and on it. I haven't had to chase down servers, which I appreciate. Highly recommend!!

    Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing experience and we will not be returning…read more We arrived on a Saturday night and the restaurant did not seem particularly busy. We were seated right away, but no one asked if we had been there before or explained how the dining experience worked. Luckily, we are very familiar with Shabu Shabu. We were a party of two adults and two children. We ordered several appetizers and chose the Kobe beef option. The first thing brought to the table was two small plates of raw beef, each with roughly 6-8 rolled slices. We then waited about 10 minutes for the vegetables, followed by another 10 minutes before the broth finally arrived. It seemed very odd to serve raw meat well before the broth needed to cook it. Rice came shortly afterward, but service remained very slow. It took another 10-15 minutes before anyone came back around so we could request more meat. When the next order arrived, it was one plate with maybe 15 slices to share between four people. We immediately asked to place another order. At that point, our waitress appeared visibly annoyed. She walked over to a coworker and began speaking animatedly in another language. Of course, we have no idea what was being discussed, but given the timing, it made us uncomfortable and feel as though we had done something wrong simply by requesting additional meat. After that, she largely stopped servicing our table and two other employees began helping us instead. Service throughout the remainder of the meal was very inconsistent. All four of our waters were empty at one point, and we rarely felt checked on. The food itself was okay. The Kobe beef was good quality, but the rice was dry and hard. The biggest issue was how difficult it felt to place additional orders at an all-you-can-eat Shabu restaurant. Our receipt showed that our family of four ordered 11 plates total, so we were certainly not ordering an unreasonable amount. For approximately $150, the overall experience simply was not worth it. There are much better Shabu restaurants in the Sacramento area. They may be a longer drive for us, but after this experience, the extra drive is absolutely worth it.
