    No where it says the full-price lunch is excluded
    Katie H.

    BAD OWNERS Hot pot is okay, but they wouldn't let me use a $5 off coupon for Lunar New Year on the full-price lunch. Quite a deceptive bait-and-switch, really, leaves a bad taste in my mouth. The t&cs don't mention it's dinner only. Not coming back because of this. All That Shabu is way better. ###Note to the owner below - It's not a "Special" if you run it constantly. There were no discounts on my FULL PRICE lunch, therefore it should have qualified.

    We went to Moomoo Hot Pot in Irvine on Saturday night around 8 PM. They don't close until 11 PM, so we expected a normal dining experience. Unfortunately, almost all of the ready-to-eat food was gone when we arrived (see photo). Most trays were nearly empty with only scraps left. While we were there, employees were scooping up the remaining food to pack for customers who ordered through the Too Good To Go app. I understand trying to reduce food waste, but it felt unfair since we had just been seated, paid full price, and hadn't gotten any food yet. I asked an employee if they would refill the trays, and she said, "I don't know. Maybe." No additional food was brought out for the rest of the time we were there. It was frustrating to pay for a full buffet experience three hours before closing and not receive it. I hope management improves how they handle late-night service and balances dine-in customers with app orders.

    First of all, for an AYCE shabu shabu spot, MooMoo Hot Pot is truly a great deal for the quality that you get! My favorite shabu shabu place in this area is Dad but I would say that MooMoo is the best AYCE Chinese-style hot pot around! I personally don't love wagyu hotpot even though I only really ever get beef so I got the standard menu and although the selection of cuts was small (just three) it was quality! I would rather places have higher quality and less variety than the other way around. Additionally, their sauce bar is insane so if there's a sauce you've always wanted to try, here's your chance! There are also canned soft drinks and desserts included in the price. I don't recommend the ice cream as it was very grainy. Save your calories for other yummy items like the fish roe stuffed fishballs and soft shell crab!

    It's a decent hot pot place with lots of options to choose from. Only things to mention is that some of the servers spoke limited English so we did find it difficult when we were ordering and please cut the Napa cabbage into bite size. This is another one of those places that I just don't think about going back because of my experience the first time.

    I found this restaurant on the Too Good To Go app. Not knowing what exactly I was ordering, I ended up getting to try a variety of options. Upon arrival, the staff was friendly and put my order together. Some items that stood out was the Mapo Tofu and the Crawfish from the hot foods bar. After trying only a few things, I would totally come back to try the AYCE menu which looked responsibly priced.

    We celebrated my brother's birthday here and I'm so happy we chose this spot. It's one of the better hot pot restaurants in the area. We went with the regular menu at $36.99, and it was definitely worth it. The beef short plate was solid -- I especially liked the cuts. The meat tasted fresh and high quality. The sauce bar and side bar were also impressive. Everything -- from the vegetables and mushrooms to the seafood -- looked fresh and well stocked. They also offer a great selection of small bites like chicken wings, takoyaki, dumplings, and fries. One of the highlights for me was the braised pork -- so flavorful and the fact that it's unlimited makes it even better. There are plenty of soup base options to choose from. I went with the sukiyaki and really enjoyed it. Service was attentive, friendly, and welcoming throughout our visit. Overall, this place exceeded my expectations. I'll definitely be back to try the Wagyu menu next time!

    Came here for a simple dinner and immediately knew we were about to eat really well. Moo Moo Hot Pot is AYCE done right. The space is modern and clean which already sets the vibe, but the real star is the food. The AYCE wagyu and seafood are super fresh and flavorful, and the meat seriously melts in your mouth. I loved how customizable everything is. Multiple broth options, a fully stocked sauce bar, fresh veggies and noodles, plus a hot food bar for snacking in between rounds. And yes, they even have boba and ice cream to end the meal. Our server checked up on us every so often if we needed to order more meat which was great! That staff are soo nice! Overall, this is such a solid hot pot spot for groups or when you are ready to commit to eating good. Definitely saving this place and coming back.

    The quality of the meats here are stellar! I absolutely love that each plate of meat is labeled so you know exactly what you're eating and can order more accordingly. There is an area where you can grab a few things that aren't on the menu if you've ordered the AYCE. This is where you would grab some sides, veggies, sauce, desserts, apps, and som drinks and cutlery. The servers are very happy to help you here and always seem to have eyes on all the guests to make sure everyone is taken care of. My favorite part of the meal is the special you get to pick, we chose the lobster stir fried, it was absolutely delicious and reminds me that of the ones you get at the Chinese restaurants. The restaurant and restrooms are super clean! I love the black theme inside. I would definitely love to come again for their unique take on ayce hot pot.

    Ended 2025 with some MooMoo Hot Pot! Located in a plaza, there is plenty of parking. When you get here, you can put your name down on the iPad via Yelp waitlist. Staff here are friendly, but not really the type to check on you unless you wave them down. Two types of menu - a weekday/lunch special for $36.99 or the premium for $58.99. The difference between the two is the amount of meat options and for the premium, you get double the options. They have a variety of options for your both - I got a newly added one, the tallow spicy sweet broth. There is also a limited item that each person can pick - it can be a chef's special (hot dish) with crispy lobster tail and scallops in a sauce or a raw lobster/scallop combo. We primarily ordered the wagyu brisket, beef tongue, wagyu short rib, and wagyu chuck roll because you can order up to 4 dishes at a time and since I'm paying the premium price, I'm going to opt for premium meats! They also have a sauce bar, hot bar, and veggie bar. The takoyaki was from the hot bar was delicious surprisingly. You can also get free milk tea, a yogurt drinks, and soda as you wish as part of your menu. The sauce bar had a good assortment of options but I was disappointed that they only give you a 3-dish tray for it because it can be challenging to mix it. They do have bowls, but at the time I went, they had run out because everyone probably grabbed it and it was primarily used for those who wanted rice. Personally, I think they need to switch out the sauce trays and opt for sauce bowls. For dessert, I got a matcha ice cream which was part of the menu. It looks like it may be placed in the back, but it isn't and it's something you order from your server. Overall, great meal and would definitely come back again.

    Did the lunch special and it's very middle. Not good, not bad. Also their hot pot was leaking underneath the table and got on our pants. The tonkotsu broth was too salty and heavy so would advise a cleaner broth. The vegetable selection is nice with tong ho, variety of mushrooms, bok choy. The meat cuts were ok for the price. Looked at the $19.99 buffet option and it's not worth it. Also looked at the premium option and it's aesthetically nice like the photos, but not sure on taste. The service was kind. Plenty of parking part of a larger plaza

    What a cute little spot! Really cute and festive decor and a decent sized space. Took advantage of their special on Too Good to Go! I got a freshly packed bento with rice, a beef bulgogi, a tofu and pork belly dish, a spicy beef item, a couple shrimp, a few takoyaki and a few sesame balls. This box was jam packed which makes it an incredible value. The food was pretty tasty. The spicy dish had a very mild heat but the flavor wasn't super pronounced, that I would pass on. Both the bulgogi and the tofu/pork dishes were really flavorful and I would get those again! The worker who helped me was so kind and even with it being a short interaction it was such a joy to interact with her! I don't know if I would get the bento again but I definitely plan to come back and experience their hot pot situation!

    I was in the area and saw the Too Good To Go and was very curious what would be included for such a spot. It was a 3-item bento box that the staff grabbed for me on the spot based on their premade hot foods. Included 1. stir fried broccoli with garlic: simple and solid, nice garlic flavor 2. braised tofu + pork belly: tender and not too salty 3. bulgogi? and onions: it was fine 4. also included a single takoyaki: a bit doughy, wasn't terrible for the price though, it was a great lunch to try out! staff was super nice and place was very clean! would come back to try the hot pot if I was in the area!

    There's so many Hotpot places but this one is up there! Good quality and great service! There is plenty of options at the food bar and they also have self serve drinks at the station and bottled ones in the fridge. Meat quality was also good. The premium is $58.99 but we just got the basic ayce which is $36.99. The premium does come with a lot of good meats but the basic is definitely where you get your moneys worth. The Beef short plate and pork belly were the only meats I really needed. Love the food, service, and everything was really clean in the restaurant! Definitely will come again!

It looks very modern and clean. Service was fast and the staff were very attentive. I brought my mama here for mother's days and it was her first Shabu experience and a great one at that.

One thing to note is the kids price is a bit on the higher side $17/child (so if your kiddos eat very little maybe it won't be worth it for you).

Everything is truly unlimited, and you can taste the difference in the freshness and marbling. The cuts were tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly in the broth. If you're debating the wagyu upgrade, do it. The marbling is beautiful and it melts in your mouth. Definitely worth the upcharge. Their unlimited bar is another highlight. They offer a wide selection of fresh seafood, crisp vegetables, hot side dishes, and a full sauce station so you can customize every bowl exactly how you like it. Everything looked clean, well stocked, and high quality. What makes it even more exciting is that starting next month they'll be offering ayce sushi as well. If it's anything like the quality of their shabu, it's going to be a huge win. Great service, great selection, and premium quality ingredients. I'll definitely be coming back.

You get to choose a broth and order from the tablet as much as you want within 100 minutes, but there is a wait time between ordering on the tablet so I recommend just putting in everything you want at once, but also not over ordering because it's extra if you don't finish. The meats were nice, they were not as fatty and didn't have as much marbling so it could be a little chewy after cooking but for the price we really couldn't complain and it was still delicious. And I'm sure the higher priced menu sets have higher quality cuts. We loved all the veggies and noodles you can order and there was a sweet rice cake dessert that was absolutely delicious. Each order of meat was also quite large so I would watch out for how many sets you initially plan to order.
