we love this restaurant so yummy. My sister came and she loves it too . We will come many more times.

Came for lunch special $20.98 you get a choice of flat iron, toro, or pork belly. soup is not included. I got my usual spicy pork bone that never fails me. I don't come to this location much because it's not as convenient for me, but I've noticed that it's not busy here at all. There was only one other table besides ours during peak lunch time 12:30 pm on a tuesday. That's the perk of it, but there are other small details I've noticed that are different from other locations, one of them being the thickness of the green onions. I usually love how thinly sliced they are at Mokkoji but this location has them very big, coarsely chopped. Also the toro we got today was very fatty, a plus for those who enjoy fatty meats. I prefer the flat iron more lately bc of how lean yet flavorful it is. I noticed there were multiple tv's on the wall so it's nice to have and watch any games going on if you happen to need to. anyways, ultimately, mokkoji is my fave shabu of all time and this location is closest to home (but still kinda far) when i'm at my bf's i go to the irvine location more ~ Wanted to give a shoutout to the friendly and helpful server Caitlyn who helped me refill my kale multiple times throughout the meal! loved her attitude :) read more

If I want high quality Japanese style hot pot, this is my spot. There are places where you can get AYCE (Momo Paradise) and there are places that you can pay $$$$ for AYCE Wagyu (Mikiya, Wagyu House, X Pot), but I like that this place has quality meat options for $$$. My go to order is to get a "special for 2" of their "share beef set" to share with my wife. She likes the Spicy Pork Broth and I like the Spicy Sukiyaki. It's Japanese spicy, so it's more flavorful than spicy. If you want real spice, then you could ask the server for extra spice and they'll use a medicine dropper to add a few drops of serious heat into your sauces. In our shared meal, we prefer their marinated "toro fatty belly" and it comes with a huge order of meat, 2 pints of draft beer, an appetizer, and ice cream ($87 for two persons). If you choose a nice, fatty cut, then you will be pretty satisfied with the meat quality. My reasoning for this being 4 stars rather than 5 stars is that if you were to choose the wrong type of meat or if you don't order enough meat, then your experience will likely be suboptimal. Apparently, you can get refills on the veggies, so I'll try to ask for that next time! What I love about Mokkoji, however, is that the quality and value that I get with the special is ample for two and it's delicious! read more

I LOVE Mokkoji but this location is needs a lot of work. I cannot tell if it's due to them being short staffed or they just don't prep enough. I typically go to Riverside but since that location has been closed for over a year, I was in the area and decided to go to their Cypress location. This is when I realized they're probably all different owners. We came on a Sunday for lunch and the service was sooooo slow. The workers are nice and apologetic but it wasn't even that busy when we arrived and our food didn't come out for a while after ordering. I ordered my usual regular toro with the marinade. The rice and veggies are still refillable. The soup base is additional (including the regular soup which is so odd to me because it's basically just water). The rice was mushy. The ponzu and goma sauces were not the same as I remembered it. read more

I've always had love for mokkoji, i haven't been to this location in years and this was close to home for my boyfriend and i. we always order the mokkoji cut half marinated and pork broth. service is friendly and great! this location isn't packed like any of the other ones in OC. i actually really enjoyed this location more than the others, definitely will be returning! read more

Mokkoji Shabu Shabu - Flat Iron "Mokkoji Cut" half marinated - Hot Pot Near Me - Cypress, California

This is still one of my local go-to spots for shabu (hot pot). I mainly dine in for lunch since it's hardly crowded, and the staff has been kind and attentive. This isn't an AYCE spot, but the quality and portions are priced reasonably. The veggies are fresh with a good variety of broths, and a selection of meats and proteins. I had the chance to try most of the broths and meats. I'll either order one type of protein or get the two-item combination, depending on how hungry I am. The veggies and rice are unlimited, and don't forget the hot drops if you like things spicy. A few of my favorite broths are the original, spicy miso, pork (tonkotsu), sukiyaki, and the fire crab. - The original broth is a great low-sodium option, letting the meat flavors shine with the ponzu and goma dare (sesame) dips. - The spicy miso and pork (tonkotsu) broths have that classic ramen broth flavor that goes well with any protein, veggie, and noodles. - The sukiyaki is great for a flavorful broth with a bit of sweetness. Ask for the raw egg for dipping as well. - The Fire Crab is a bold spicy broth with a sukiyaki base for a hint of sweetness with the heat. They add a chunk of crab and other ingredients to enhance the flavor. For proteins, I enjoy the flat iron, toro (fatty beef belly), pork belly, salmon, and New York. The meat slices are a good thickness, yet cook quickly in the hot broth. The seafood and chicken come thicker, so they take longer to cook, but it's worth it! You can also include a marinade with the meats. There are plenty of drinks to get here, like soju, beer, sake, wine, sodas, and flavored green teas. My go-to is the cold-brewed green tea or the iced lychee green tea. The dining area is bright, spacious, and clean, with some wall art to add to the minimalist decor. A few tables for groups to share broths and counter seating for solo, couples, and small groups. The counter seating allows for each diner to have a burner. read more

Mokkoji Shabu Shabu - Hot Pot Near Me - Cypress, California

Disappointed, we had lunch today and it took 1/2 to get our food and another 25 mins to get all the condiments. It was busy but they should always have 2 server at all time. read more

The price goes up but the service goes down. The kitchen is extremely noisy. The workers talk loudly about their personal matters and constantly bang metal utensils around, creating a very unpleasant dining atmosphere. Their behavior is unprofessional, and I don't understand why the manager allows it. To make matters worse, there is no air conditioning. Even when the outside temperature is only 76°F, it becomes very uncomfortable inside while eating hot shabu-shabu. The restaurant needs better management, a more professional staff, and a more comfortable dining environment. read more

10/10 experience thanks to Andrew and Kelvin! I drove over an hour to checkout this spot and it did not disappoint. I was having such a tiresome day but my servers really made it worth and the meal was the highlight of my day! They were so considerate and consistently checking in on our meals, water levels, gave great suggestions on their personal preferences while keeping the conversation enjoyable and the level of service at its peak. Would go back again and I hope Andrew is your server!!!! read more

Mokkoji Shabu Shabu - Hot Pot Near Me - Cypress, California

Mokkoji has become my favorite al a carte shabu shabu restaurant and that's because of the Cypress location. We started coming here when they first opened a couple years ago, and the Cypress location remains the best location imo. My favorite cuts are the toro fatty belly or the flat iron mokkoji cut, and always get the meat marinaded. My go to broth is the Original - it's classic and keeps the meal simple! If you're going with another person, I'd recommend the SH 32pcs option as you get more meat per dollar. Can't forget the garlic, green onions, and hot drops for your sauce! Another pro tip: extra veggies (cabbage, kale, bokchoy), rice, and broth are unlimited. The restaurant is well lit, clean, and bright, which is always a great environment to be in. The servers are all always attentive, whether you're at the bar or the table seating. read more

My favorite place to get shabu! The quality of the meat and broth stands out compared to other places. Service is always quick and staff are accommodating. This location is a little small so it can get packed especially during dinner times. There is plenty of parking though. This is my go-to spot when I'm craving shabu shabu. read more

Came here on a Saturday around 8pm. No wait to be seated. Tables and hight tables. Service quick. One bathroom was clean. Kpop music playing volume could be lower. Ordered the shareable flat iron mokojii cut 32 piece plenty for two people. Broth was the spicy pork broth and regular pork broth. Both tasted good the spicy was a nice kick but not too much spicy. The veggies were fresh. Veggies and rice unlimited. The mango green tea was refreshing. All In all good for a try on the expensive side. In total over 100$ for shareable broths and drinks. read more

Mokkoji is still one of my favorite spots to get hot pot and the Cypress location always has tables available whenever you arrive. I find that the wait time is very short, which I really appreciate. At Mokkoji, you start out with choosing your broth for the soup base and your choice of meat. I usually get the spicy pork broth and the toro fatty belly  - it's my go to order! They will also provide a dish full of veggies, udon and a side of rice. Highly recommend this location for the great service and the short wait! There is also a lot of parking in this location too. read more

Mokkoji Shabu Shabu - Hot Pot Near Me - Cypress, California

Mokkoji Shabu Shabu has multiple locations, and the Cypress location is super convenient with plenty of parking. It's pretty lowkey but can have a long wait on weekend evenings for dinner. We ordered Spicy Sukiyaki broth and the Toro "fatty belly" meat in the largest size to split between two people, and it was more than enough food. The meat was tender, flavorful, and a perfect choice for shabu shabu. Make sure to ask for the extra marinade topping on your beef. Note that you do have to pay an extra fee to share a meat plate. A nice touch was that at the end of the night, they gave us some free leftover lemonade that they didn't sell out of, which was very kind and appreciated. read more

Mokkoji Shabu Shabu - Toro "Fatty Belly" w/ marinade - Hot Pot Near Me - Cypress, California

Build your own personal or split pot at the table. If you're seated at the bar, you'll get your own pot, and if you're seated at the table, you may have a larger pot that's split down the middle. Important to note in case you've been to some of their other locations are are expecting to see individual pots available at each seat of the tables. I like getting their brisket. The meat is good quality, and I like getting the marinade on top which I haven't seen at other shabu shabu places! In addition to the sauce itself pour on, they also top it with grated garlic, green onions, and sesame seeds. For their broths, they charge extra for the original base which I also haven't seen at other locations. Other than that, taste of everything was good. I enjoy the variety of vegetables they provide and appreciate that you can ask for extra vegetables (kale, bok choy, cabbage only)! Their ponzu and sesame dipping sauces are tasty as well, and you can get refills on these. Plenty of parking available in this shopping plaza. read more

Mokkoji Shabu Shabu - Split Pot with Original Broth, Brisket, Vegetables, and Dipping Sauce - Hot Pot Near Me - Cypress, California

The meat quality here is so good and the price is very fair. We got a share set of the beef toro (marinated) and it both filled us up well. They have unlimited vegetables and rice, perfect for bigger appetites. The workers are always so nice and provide good service. The restaurant is on the smaller side with mostly bar seating. I like that there isn't a long wait compared to the other locations. ig: @cravingswithcat read more

Mokkoji Shabu Shabu - Beef Toro (ig: @cravingswithcat) - Hot Pot Near Me - Cypress, California

Standard fare for a hot pot chain. I got the regular miso broth with flat iron Mokkoji cut, included is a small bowl of vegetables and udon noodles with tofu. My companion got the pork broth with marinated (soy sauce, garlic, sesame oil and spring onions) Mokkoji cut. Bothe came with a small scoop of rice. They felt the broth lacked a depth of flavor, the miso was just fine although I added garlic and spring onions to it. Lots of bar seating and a few tables. Each had its own induction plate for heating the broth, you can control the temperature and length of time to heat the broth. Score dipping anything in it to cook. Service was adequate, I appreciated that the server asked if it was okay to spray clean the emptied spots as we were still eating. Sometimes the smell of the cleaning solution can be irritating. The point of view from my seat was a sign proclaiming one hour limit will be strictly enforced. Soup and meats were okay, enough for a rainy day lunch or dinner. Everything is basically an add on whether it's the type of broth or side veggies and added ramen etc... Cucumber with chili oil , extra scoop of rice and ramen noodles were the only add ons we had . Tonight's total was. $77 before tip. read more

I rarely leave low reviews, but this experience was genuinely disappointing. The food was great, which made the service even more frustrating, because it ended up ruining what was meant to be a long awaited hangout. From the start, we felt ignored. There was no greeting or acknowledgment, we had to get our own napkins and chopsticks, and water refills only happened if we went looking for someone. At one point no one checked on us for fifteen to twenty minutes. I am a server myself and understand being understaffed, but basic communication matters. A quick check in or even letting us know the team was busy would have changed the entire experience. Instead, the service felt detached and indifferent. This was easily one of the worst dining experiences I have had in a while. The food deserves better service, and this location seriously needs to improve its guest care. read more

Great place for hotpot. It's well ventilated so you don't smell like food after unlike kbbq. Lots of parking and the staff was very attentive. The owner was very nice and took our orders too. He said he was busy doing dishes in the back which is admirable. The beef portions were large and more than enough for four people. The seafood platter was more for two people. It had 5 shrimp, some lobster, some slices of salmon, a handful scallops and lots of onion and lemon. They had great tea and unlimited veggies. I was told this location was better because it was more modern and did not have the propane fueled portable stoves like the Garden Grive location. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for hotpot that is definitely quality and not AYCE. read more

We can in we were patiently waiting and all the staff are staring at us couple times and didn't bother getting us seated or waved to give them a moment. Place wasn't busy and lots of extra seats they definitely didn't want us to eat there.

Came here to meet friends and the couple who live in Cerritos suggested this spot. Definitely a trek for me from Pasadena so was really hoping it would be good. Parking was easy it's in a large strip mall with a big lot. We had a group of 6 adults and 2 kids so we had to split up tables and definitely hard to communicate cuz the space between the 2 tables was really big. Not really ideal for larger groups . As for the food and service, pretty blah. It's not AYCE so you do order by "size". I think the portion sizes for the accompanying veggies and noodles is super tiny for what you get and it costs extra for certain broths. The meat was pretty good but nothing to write home about. Service was mediocre. We had to ask for the egg that comes with sukiyaki broth and they rarely refilled the water. For $27+ for the "small" size for brisket, definitely felt kinda ripped off. I personally would not come here again. read more

Quality of food is amazing! The toro fatty belly is the best cut of meat in my opinion and has a lot of flavor. The sukiyaki broth was a little sweet which went so well with the dipping sauces they give you. If you like spice I would recommend one drop of the hot drops in each sauce to add a kick. The yuzu lemonade was perfectly sweet and super refreshing. They give you more than enough veggies as well and have a great variety. The only concern I have is the price. Different broths have an additional fee, the Sukiyaki was an extra $3. Although the 10pc beef comes with more than enough for one person, the sharing fee of $10 is honestly outrageous if someone were to want less meat. I would def recommend going for the weekday lunch specials since that is the better deal! read more

Love this place! Michael was amazing. Amazing food as well. Will definitely come back again.

Mokkoji in Cypress is hands down one of our favorite spots! We come here pretty often, and every single time the experience is consistently amazing. The food is always fresh, high quality, and so delicious, you can really taste the care that goes into everything. Our go-to order is the pork broth with the flat iron magoji cut marinated (you HAVE to get it marinated, it adds so much flavor to the soup). It is seriously so good, and my son is absolutely obsessed with it. We also love the pickled garlic, it's so yummy and the perfect addition. The service is just as incredible. Catherine is our absolute favorite, she is so attentive, kind, and always makes sure we have everything we need without even having to ask. She truly goes above and beyond and makes the whole experience feel warm and welcoming. Everyone there is so nice, and the overall vibe is just great. It's become one of our go-to places, and we always look forward to coming back. Highly recommend if you're looking for amazing food and even better service! read more

Showed up an hour before closing and saw workers on their phones standing around. Tried to walk in but was told it was closed despite the lights being on and without any explanation. Kinda seems like they just want to get paid without actually doing their job.... esp after seeing other people's reviews saying the same thing. my fiancé and I are usually considerate with closing time but we consider ourselves to be fast eaters, coming in and getting out quickly. Thankfully the location in garden grove allowed us to walk in still. read more

We've been looking for a nice place to eat our favorite food "shabu-shabu" we ordered the sampler for 2 and it it a lot of food but we ate jr all! it comes with many different cuts of beef, all of them were good! They season the meat so delicious with green onion and some oils, it gives it extra flavor to it. We asked for pork broth and added spicy paste which made it more flavorful. The portions are good, the rice has a tiny sweet flavor which combines good with every flavor in your mouth. Service was good too, the were kind to offer the best chooses for us. It is a casual restaurante, It is not a big location but perfect for us. We will definitely come back. What is different from other restaurants? The flavor in broth, meat, goma and ponzu sauce are good. Some other places gives you ponzu sauce with no flavor and the meat doesn't look good quality but here everything was good. I would probably recommend a little faster service but we were in no rush so we were good. read more

I've heard about Mokkoji for a while and a couple friends raved about it, so my husband and I decided to try it when we were craving shabu. Unlike a lot of other shabu places, Mokkoji is not all you can eat and instead, you order your meats per plate. The reasoning behind this is that they say the meat quality is higher here. Although I'd say the meat quality here is good, I wouldn't say that it was exceptionally better than some of the premium ayce places that I've been to. With that being said, I enjoyed my meal here but do not think that the quality justifies the price. The ambiance was bright and welcoming and the service here is really good. I appreciated that the person helping us offered recommendations and would check up on us every so often. The restaurant is located in a decent sized plaza with ample parking. Overall, I'd say that the shabu and experience here is pretty good, but is just overpriced for what it is. read more

We went during the happy hour and there were 3 options of meat. You get to pick either marinated or non marinated meat. The food was fresh and nicely presented. The service was a quick and the servers were so sweet. The time we went had no customers so our food came rather quick. I think there was a misunderstand for one of the soup base, so we got one wrong order. However, it was a great experience. read more

We had an interesting first visit here, but overall great. Originally the wait was 40 minutes and I was starving and it was pretty chilly outside :( To our luck, they offered outdoor seating to anyone who was willing to and I volunteered as tribute. They gave us a 2 drinks on the house and we had our table and broths out within minutes! Though it was a tad cold out, the broth immediately warmed us up. Their spicy chili oil drops are not a joke! If you're into spicy, deffff recommend getting 1-2 drops added (at your discretion of course). We live nearby and will definitely be coming back!

I went to this mokkoji location with my wife for Valentine's Day and had a truly awful experience. Service was fairly slow and the staff seemed to be unable to keep track of the orders/requests of us and the other guests at the restaurant despite the restaurant not being full and there being 4 servers present. We had to request vegetables several times and we noticed the other customers had to do the same. While we were there one customer who came alone was being very loud, swearing a lot, and generally ruining the overall atmosphere of the restaurant. This customer tried to complain loudly about his life, work, ex-girlfriend, etc. and kept bothering other customers. The staff should have said something or intervened but instead all the staff present decided to leave the main seating area and retreat to the back of the restaurant so they would not have to deal with this customer. This customer was drinking sake, acting erratically and talking to himself and other customers that did not want to interact with him. My wife and I noticed several customers leave the restaurant before finishing their food in order to avoid this uncomfortable situation. These customers came in after us and left sooner with much of their food left untouched. The lack of professionalism and inability of this staff to address this negative situation really ruined our experience and I will NEVER be going to this mokkoji location or any other again. There are many other shabu shabu options around and I would strongly suggest other people to look elsewhere and go to a restaurant where the staff are willing and able to handle a negative situation with a customer. I have worked in restaurants in the past and could not believe that not a single employee said anything to this customer for the entirety of our meal. Very disappointed to say the least. read more

Food - good options and we got the special for two people where you get to try most if not all the meats. Our favorite is toro belly cut - well seasoned Service - phenomenal Ambiance - ok It is sweater weather so glad we found this place on Yelp on our way to OC. You get to choose the broth (I chose miso and my hubby the spicy pork broth for $1 and $5, extra respectively). Apparently, there are other locations but this one worked out for us - no wait at all. We called when we were 15 minutes away and they placed our name on the waitlist. Parked for free (plenty of parking) and when we checked in, they prepared our spots (we didn't mind being at the "bar") and got sat down within 5 minutes. Where can this happen on Saturday night at 6:30 pm- everywhere there is such a long wait. With all the choices out there, who wants to wait for more than 30 minutes. By the way the special ($109 for two people), came with choice of appetizers (opted for the yummy wings), choice of sake, beer or soda, 3 plates of various meat cuts, side of veggies and noodles and our surprise dessert (haagen dazs ice cream bar- did they know this is my favorite?). Basically, can be pricey with tax and tip but all worth it especially if you are trying to get your healthy protein intake and veggies - perfect meal! read more

Came in for their lunch special. Got the sukiyaki broth which was $3 extra. The portion of meat and veggies was perfect for lunch. The 2 sauces were delicious and you definitely need to get the egg on the side to dip the meat and the added chili drop for the sauce. I ate the veggie up so fast they asked if I need more veggies. Services was excellent as our server was attentive. Awesome place for lunch. Nice and clean. read more

Interesting first visit. We came here on a Thursday so it was a bit dead of a morning/lunch time. The menu was a little overwhelming when first looked at it from someone who had shabu shabu but as everyone store have different types and how their system works. The waitress was trying to explain but i think it was still quite confusing after she explained twice still slightly. Not that friendly of a new comer transition, but after a bit of q and a between me and her, i finally begun to understand how the shabu part worked under their menu. they have regular and combo (which you can combine 2 kind of meat, and they charge by the highest price - obviously)  their spicy pork broth was amazing, would recommend getting it again. my friend got the sukiyaki one which was slightly sweeter of a broth - but since they offer pre-marinated meat with their house sauce (that is a bit similar) it makes it slightly more confusing to have that as broth. i enjoyed the iron steak as well as the lamb both were delicious and there was unlimited refill of vegetables. I would definitely come back again for shabu, but slightly elevated price (as you can go to AYCE shabu for similar price) but overall experience was great. there is shared parking with the plaza, due to ventilation they need the door open - came on a cold winter day, so having the door open did affect my comfortability consider there was nobody there that day and it was cold already with breezy wind, hoped that they can have internal vent so it isn't at the cost of comfort, for that + the price i can't give it a 5/5 since it did ruin a bit of the ambiance and got me distracted majority of the meal. read more

I'm so happy I found out there's a location in Cypress! I first came across Mokkoji in Irvine, but I have been coming to their Cypress location for a little over a year and I can tell you it's just a good, if not better! I love the toro belly beef with the miso broth. It's been my go-to order and never disappoints. The staff here are all so kind and the service is always on point. Even at their busiest, I've never had an issues with service, quality, or cleanliness. Most of the seating is bar style, but there are a few booths for parties of 3+ Unfortunately, the seating is limited so I would call ahead to see if they can accommodate larger parties. Side tip--rice and some of the veggies (Napa cabbage, kale, bokchoy) are refillable! I would definitely call myself a regular here and would highly recommend! read more

Mokkoji Cypress is my go-to comfort spot--I've been coming here regularly for the past year and it never disappoints. The place is super clean, the ambiance is cozy but modern, and there's always plenty of parking (a rare win in SoCal). The service is consistently attentive--friendly staff who actually check in without hovering, and they're quick with those veggie refills (a major plus). The thinly sliced meats are marinated to garlicky, flavorful perfection--prepare to leave full and tasting garlic all day (the best part)! Shabu cravings? This spot always hits! read more

This review is long overdue, but 4/17 Thursday around 2PM made me realize I need to make this review!!! The 2 girls who were working this day were AMAZING! I asked them about coffee recommendations or any place really to get some work done and they were so sweet and thoughtful as some were not really from the area. They were quick & efficient when it came to serving as well! As for food, I always have to make a visit to a Mokkoji location when in the area. What's funny is I always end up at the Cypress location, time and time again! This time I tried the Flat Iron cut, which was excellent! I always go for the marinated beef belly, but wanted to try something different. Server also knew their way around the menu too which was really nice. I always get the sukiyaki broth as well, but need to adventure out more as I will be returning soon! read more

Mokkoji is my favorite shabu shabu spot! I'm so glad they opened this location in Cypress. It is more expensive, but it definitely beats AYCE shabu. If you want quality over quantity, this is the place to go! It also helps me with portion control lol. Their broths are good and all their cuts of beef are premium. I like the brisket, beef belly, and the wagyu is halal is delicious! It melts in your mouth... yum! The service was great, although we had to wait about 20+ minutes after we were seated for the waiter to come back and take our order. We came on a Sunday afternoon before dinner when the restaurant was not crowded, so I was expecting better service. Other than that, I would definitely come back. Beats the wait at the Irvine location. Happy eating! read more
