First time trying out hot pot and I get the hype now Super chill atmosphere, good music. The broth had a lot of flavor, and the meat quality was great. I liked how customizable everything was -- you can really make it your own. Definitely a nice spot to just relax and eat with friends. Would come back for sure. read more

We had Mokkoji in Cypress a few years back and am so happy a location opened up in Northridge! We arrived for an early dinner on a Thursday evening and there was no wait for a party of 3. We were greeted upon arrival and staff was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. We selected the original, miso and spicy pork broths; brisket, flat iron Mokkoji cut, and toro fat belly shabu. Each shabu selection came with a bowl of rice (brown or white), vegetables (including bok choy, kale, napa cabbage, enoki mushrooms, carrots), tofu, udon noodles, ponzu and goma tare sauces. Everything was tasty :). Located next to Super King. read more

Finally tried Mokkoji Shabu Shabu and honestly...it was really good. We ordered the shared Mokkoji cut beef with two different broths and everything paired so well together. The ponzu and goma sauces actually had flavor and complemented the beef really well instead of just tasting generic. We also added the fish ball and that ended up being one of my favorite things we ordered. Also wanna shout out Kevin...attentive, friendly, and actually knew the menu well enough to give solid recs. Definitely one of the better shabu spots I've tried recently. read more

I'm glad there's a Mokkoji location in Northridge since I've regularly ordered takeout from other locations in Orange County. Unfortunately, my most recent takeout order from the Northridge store was very disappointing. First, the packaging of the order was poorly done. Whoever prepared the takeout could use training on how to organize and package orders properly. Second, unlike other Mokkoji locations, no condiments were included with the order. I'm not sure if this was an oversight or an attempt to cut costs, or by request only, but it negatively impacted my meal. Third, the shredded radish that normally comes with the meat was missing. Lastly, the vegetables were not properly cleaned and still had visible dirt on them. Overall, it felt like there was a lack of attention to detail when preparing my order. Since this location is still relatively new, I hope these issues can be addressed. Whether through better staff training or improved quality control, I'd like to see the Northridge location meet the same standards as your other restaurants. read more

Mokkoji Shabu Shabu - Dirt - Hot Pot Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Love love their lunch special and I hope its stays at that price with their free killer green tea lychee. The portions are perfect. Just the right amount of rice, veggies to meat ratio. The pork broth was rich and delicious. The two dipping sauces were also good. Love how its nut allergy free. My nephew is allergic to nuts and all sorts of things. So, I can def take him here without worrying he will break out. Lastly, my kids both got rice for free. At first I thought they might not like the rice because it wasn't as white as they are used to. However it was light brown with more fulfilling and nutty taste. Overall experince was a plus. We didn't have to wait, food came out right away beside the meat, and the place was clean, organized and had wonderful staff. read more

Tried Mokiji's Shabu Shabu and overall had a great experience. You can tell they're still fairly new, so there were a few small service hiccups and things felt a little sloppy at times but honestly that's expected while a spot is finding its rhythm. The staff was still friendly and trying their best, which goes a long way. The food was solid and definitely the highlight. Fresh ingredients, tasty broths, and a fun shabu shabu experience that makes it worth the visit. I'd definitely come back again. Maybe the team members should help each other out when they can so guests aren't left hanging for too long, but that's just my opinion. Once they tighten up the service flow, this place has a lot of potential. Also... fair warning: don't get the hot drops unless you're trying to fight for your life read more

Hooray! Another shabu place in the valley! Lunch special is what got us here on a Monday . 19.99 for their original beef broth, veggies, udon, and flat iron meat slices. Beware of the ghost pepper drops they are HOT but delicious if you want the spice that lingers. Ponzu and peanut sauce were great with the meat. The quality of the toro meat was excellent. Service was a little slow for a busy Monday. Ambiance is casual. Good seating arrangement not too crowded feeling. A little pricey but would come back! read more

Taste: 3.5 Creativity/Authenticity: 4 Atmosphere: 3.5 Service: 5 Bang for your buck: 4 I used to eat Shabu shabu 4-5x a week back in the day when I lived near little Tokyo when original shabu shabu house was open so I'm very particular to shabu shabu, but my cousin swears this spot is one of the best. To start we came with a party of 6 reservations were needed. They were kinda busy but we were seated within our reservation time. We got a bunch or original broths and spicy miso, with 10 pcs of meat. Food came out fast and we dug in, overall meat is good quality, vegetables and sides were fresh and sauces were decent. The peanut sauce ain't shabu shabu house but it was flavorful and tasty. Service here was good, our waiter was very fast and attentive so A+!! Food was good and def come back since shabu shabu house is closed! Thanks for the food read more

I give this place 4/5. New open location next to super kings. Inside is clean and good table spacing and well lighted. The staff was very helpful in n helping me understand the menu and how it should be done. They explained what is included in the lunch special. Hospitality was great. 5/5. Food wise was not bad. The ghost pepper drop had an insane kick. Veggies and 10cut pieces of meat were good including the traditional broth. With free green tea 4/5. Overall it was a good experience. read more

I LOVE Mokkoji Shabu Shabu. So happy they opened up near LA, saves me the drive to OC. The whole experience was great. The meats and veggies all tasted really fresh, and the broths had a lot of flavor. I have ordered the Spicy Sukiyaki, Spicy Miso, and Spicy Pork broths with the Flat Iron Mokkoji, Zabuton, and New York cuts. The staff was friendly and checked in on us without being over the top, which I appreciated. It was also pretty clean and had a nice vibe--not too loud or crowded. Overall, it's a solid spot if you're craving hot pot. I came back twice already! read more

I LOVE mokkoji. I would go to the Costa Mesa location often and I'm so glad that this is in the valley. I went for their soft opening, service was a bit slow but it's okay since it's their first week but anyway the food was bomb as expected. This location is bit stingy on the meats tho :P I had to order more. It's pricey so it adds up. My soup took a long time to boil which was kinda annoying too. I love ordering their sukiyaki/ spicy crab! Add the spicy drops for that extra kick! read more

Restaurant is very clean and servers greeted us as we walked in. I ordered the $20 lunch combo it came with a plate of meat, veggies, and a choice of green or black tea. I was surprised that the portions were generous and it was very filling. The meat was super tender and chewy. The two dipping sauces pair well with each other. Definitely would be a regular here and would save the trip of going to LA. read more

Came to Mokkoji with a friend for the soft opening and I must say... I most definitely am a fan of this new establishment. Upon arrival it was POPPIN, but the wait time flew by (you get a text when the table is ready). We were seated at the counter. The restaurant is bright and spacious so you won't feel cramped. Music is played at a decent level so you can talk without having to shout. Everything was well-kept and organized. Staff were helpful with recommendations and they were thorough with the explanation of the menu. Shabu shabu always feels like playing with your food. It's very interactive and fun and Mokkoji checked all these boxes. We tried the Beef Sampler for 2 (spicy pork + spicy sukiyaki) and my goodness, errthang was SO FILLING. The shrimp appetizer it came with was unique ~ had a great crunch & a mysterious black dipping sauce on the side. I forgot which meat was which, but honestly they were all very savory once dipped in the broths. The meat cuts were thin and cooked up with a quickness, after just a few swishes. I will say the marinated cut was my fave! The amount of food you get with the noodles, veggies, app, drinks and taiyaki dessert, was A LOT to devour in one sitting lol. I thought my spicy sukiykaki soup base would come with a dipping egg on the side, but maybe I was mistaken. Other than that I have no complaints, and the set for 2 truly is a great deal if you A HUNGRY. Now that it's been a couple weeks, I'm actually ready for my next set because I need to try more meats and soups. Oh and big side note, but this is the only local shabu shabu I've ever actually enjoyed so there ya go ~ read more

Mokkoji is one of SO's fave, so we're glad to see it closer to home. Came for their soft opening night and it was pretty dang busy (which is good indication for bomb food!) Despite it being their first day, service was friendly and relatively quick (shout out to Jaylene). Inside is clean and modern, with poppin' music. - Flat Iron Mokkoji Cut (Regular, 10 pcs) for $23.98 with spicy broth (+$1): filling and just the right amount for me. It is a little on the pricier side, but if you care about quality melt-in-your-mouth meat, it's def worth. Can ask for more bok choy, kale, cabbage at no cost. Broth was clean tasting, with a kick. The yuzu and peanut sauces are also note-worthy. Unlike my prior experiences at other locations, they offer ghost pepper drops to enhance the sauces (if you prefer spice, I recommend four drops ;) ) Ample parking further out in the parking lot, as it can get congested as this location is next to a busy grocery store. Would def come backkk read more

This was my second time trying hot pot and as someone who is not familiar with the experience, this time was so much better. The service was great, Andrew was amazing! He gave great recommendations, checked in often, and made sure I had everything I needed. They also currently have 1/2 off beers on weekdays, making them only $3. WORTH. I got the spicy sukiyaki broth and it was really good. Also the chili oil drops are NO JOKE literally two drops went such a long way, but I love me some spice. The $20 weekday special is super worth it. It even comes with a drink, so I tired the lychee green tea. You can also get more veggies if you want, but honestly the portion was already really satisfying to me. I left full but not feeling all heavy and gross after eating. Definitely good eats and I'd come back again. read more

3 of us went there for dinner as it shows on Yelp as new and upcoming. It was a waste of our $150. All 3 platter of veggies was so dirty like it was just picked from the dirt to plop it on our table. Now we all know those are not organic. Beef was fresh but the lamb as you can see it's been there quite sometime cause the putter edges has a black rim around it. Though waiter was nice and very apologetic but he shouldn't have to of the manager can manage and check his Pepsi t before it goes out to customers. They offered to rewatch but kale came back with aphids on the leaves still. This place gets a thumbs down from me. Warning if you have small children and the elderly with you please check your veggie and meat before cooking them. read more

Mokkoji Shabu Shabu - Hot Pot Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Came for dinner tonight. Instant regret. Let me start by saying the place is new and clean. A bit pricey for what you get. My BF got the combo set with toro belly and pork belly with sukiyaki. My daughter and I shared the 10pc brisket plate, added ramen and quail eggs. With the chicken broth. I also ordered the chicken wings. The waitress advised if I was sharing with my daughter we have to get the share set, we argued that because my daughter and I don't eat much. And she doesn't really meat so to charge us an extra $15 for her set was kind of defeating the purpose of sharing our meal. The chicken broth was kind of bland nothing notable. Sukiyaki was a basic sukiyaki broth again nothing notable. The meat seemed to be of good quality and all in all it was a decent meal. About 10 minutes after finishing our meal I started to get major stomach cramps. I almost didn't make it home!!! I felt so sick. As soon as I parked I ran straight to the bathroom. About 1 hr later my BF is in our other bathroom major stomach cramps and pain. My daughter is fine but she did not eat any meat. I guess I can't really say if this is what made us sick. But, its pretty coincidental. Unfortunately I don't think we will be back. read more

Mokkoji is a perfect new spots in northridge. A hot pot place with some good quality meat. My friend and I tried their beef sampler which comes with 6pcs each of different kinds of beef with 1 appetizer and a dessert-- unfortunately we never got the dessert part. But everything we had was so good. We finished the platters of different kinds of beef. Their shrimp appetizer was perfectly cooked and the crispy wings are also superb!! Would go back again to try other different things. You can pick from the different broths they have -- i got the spicy pork broth and my friend got spicy miso which for me wasnt even as spicy. They also bring in ghost pepper drops if you want spice in your dipping sauces. I think everything is delicious - from the broth, the quality meat, and the perfected dipping sauces that blend and melts so well with their meat. Service was fast - staff was easy going and answered pur questions so well. Very good spot especially for cold weather but if you're like me, soup calls for all kinds of weather!! read more

I absolutely love Mokkoji Shabu Shabu and I'm so excited about this new location--it's perfect! No more driving an hour just to get one of the best shabu shabu experiences. Everything here is consistently fresh, flavorful, and high quality. My go-to is the toro fatty belly paired with their spicy pork broth--so rich, savory, and just the right amount of heat. It's honestly my favorite combo and never disappoints. The appetizers are also fire--especially the drunken chicken wings and fried fish balls. Perfect starters while you wait for your pot to get going. The atmosphere is clean, modern, and welcoming, making it a great spot whether you're dining casually or with family. If you're a shabu shabu fan, this place is a must. So happy to finally have one closer to home! read more

Stumbled upon this newly opened shabu spot in the valley. We have hot pot options but no shabu shabu until now so I was stoked. We got a meat sampler for two so that we could try out all the meats. We found our favorites to be brisket and toro! The set also comes with two individual vegetable sets and soups. The spicy pork was full of umami and was delicious! My friend got the sukiyaki broth and that was good too, but more on the sweeter side. You get two fixed sauces: ponzu and peanut sauce. Service was great, they were all knowledgeable and had good recommendations. Highly recommend if you're a fan of shabu shabu or want to give it a try! read more

Thank GOD there's finally good shabu shabu in the valley. Our first experience at Mokkoji was absolutely amazing. The restaurant is new and clean and very spacious. We came in pretty close to closing, but the staff was so friendly and accommodating, and we didn't feel rushed at all. They were super knowledgeable on the menu, and made great recommendations. We got the Beef Sampler special for 2, and tried the spicy miso and spicy sukiyaki broths. Both broths were super flavorful. Every meat we had was fantastic, great quality and distinctly different from each. It came with a ton of garlic shrimp, which was so delicious, veggies, two drinks, and taiyaki for dessert. We sincerely hope they are here to stay and that they maintain such high standards for themselves. Mokkoji certainly has a returning customer in me! read more

The food is absolutely A M A Z I N G The staff here is TOP TIER. My date and I went to six flags and really wanted shabu shabu and this place came up. When I say we are happy we made the visit, I am SO HAPPY. We sat at the bar top and Andrew helped us, he was super sweet and down to earth. Jin was the Chef and when I say we loved his energy he came with it! Usually at restaurants there is a major separation between the staff that makes your food and that hosts you. The fat that we were able to build a great atmosphere with even the chef speaks volumes! We are a little nerdy so we talked about our love for anime, following him giving solid recommendations on selections that we loved! Not one thing was bad! And to finish it all up, Nikki helped wrap up the evening with helping us pack up our food. She also gave wonderful energy! Her beautiful light really shined through, and she also was super personable which was so refreshing. Also Jenny was super sweet! And super helpful! It was really nice to have her help on some suggestions. You really can't go wrong with anyone here! 5stars and more across the board for whoever did the hiring process! You did a fantastic job and we will be ranting and raving to everyone in Ventura county about this places for weeks!!! read more

We got the Beef sampler, the meat was good but little portions of the veggies, like the enoki mushrooms and udon. Broth was eh too compared to other places we've had. Total came out to $130 for two without tip. I just don't think the price justifies the food + portions. We've had other shabu À La Carte for less (Jazz Cat) and overall just a little disappointed since I was excited to try this place. read more

Mokkoji Shabu Shabu - Spicy Sukiyaki - Hot Pot Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Finally a Shabu Shabu spot in the Valley! We were the first guests during the soft opening and everything was phenomenal. We got 2 of the 2 item combinations: flat iron with pork belly and fatty toro belly with lamb. All 4 meats were great and my ranking in order of best to least best would be: fatty toro belly, pork belly, flat iron, and then lamb. Loved having a variety of meats and veggies to switch up every bite. I think the beef cuts tasted better with the sukiyaki broth while the pork and lamb tasted better in the spicy miso. Both sauces were really good and I think 1-2 drops of the ghost pepper extract was the perfect amount. Loved the raw egg for the sukiyaki as well. Service was good and attentive. The restaurant was much bigger than I thought it would be too. Even though it was 90+ degrees outside Mokkoji still hit the spot! Will definitely be back. read more
