    Spicy beef tallow soup and Chinese herbal soup
    Eric W.

    We went with the Chinese herbal soup base and the spicy beef tallow soup base, and both were absolutely on point. The herbal broth was rich, comforting, and full of depth, while the spicy beef tallow had that perfect numbing kick, super flavorful and addicting. They offered a large selection of different type of meats and vegetables to choose. Definitely coming back to try more next time!

    This is a very authentic Sichuan style spicy hot pot and skewer restaurant. Great decor, not cheap but priced right for ingredients that actually taste fresh! Portions from the buffet fridge can be larger for sharing, but the hot pot menu is great as well. Serves alcohol, which some might need for the spiciness! Sauce bar and dessert/snack area are also well stocked. Nice 2 Meat U indeed!

    Ever since their remodel, the restaurant's decor has been elevated and became more traditional. The pot bottom boiled up fairly quickly compared to other hot pot places. The service was pretty good due to multiple water and pot refills. I recommend the enoki mushroom beef and fish tofu. The only downside was some slight confusion with pricing and ordering from a QR code.

    Great place for skewers and hot pot! We tried the tomato broth and mushroom broth, and both were surprisingly flavorful. The ingredients were fresh, and the self-serve skewer format made it easy to try a variety of items. The beef, tripe, quail eggs, and tofu skin were all delicious. The atmosphere was lively and reminded me of the hot pot places I used to visit back home. Friendly service and reasonable prices. Will definitely be back!

    I used to really love it here but they closed down, remodeled, and just aren't great anymore. Instead of getting your own ingredients from the fridge, you order online now. Half our order never came out and after waiting a while, I finally asked and a server went to the kitchen for a while before finally letting us know they were out of items. Instead of anyone letting us know proactively or marking the items as out of stock on the app, it showed "preparing". We didn't end up eating much and were charged over $70 for 2 people. What was also confusing is the online ordering system didn't show prices for skewers. They ended up charging $5 per person just to use the sauce bar and the snack section had much less options than before.

    We visited Nice to Meet You Hot Pot and while the food itself was good, the overall experience had some downsides. The restaurant was extremely crowded, to the point where it was hard to walk around comfortably. One thing that really threw us off was that the appetizers were located right by the front entrance and waiting area. With so many people walking by and reaching over the food, it didn't feel very sanitary, so we didn't really want to eat much from that section. For the skewers, we had to order through a kiosk, which was fine, but added another step to an already busy experience. The food we did eat was tasty and well seasoned, but it was very pricey. Our total came out to almost $400, which felt steep for what we got. Another frustrating part was the receipt being entirely in Chinese, making it hard for us to understand the charges. Unfortunately, the server didn't explain the receipt clearly, and since we don't speak Chinese, it left us confused about the breakdown. Overall, the food quality was good, but between the crowded layout, appetizer placement, high price point, and lack of clear communication, it didn't feel worth the cost. Probably wouldn't return unless changes are made. Plaza sucks by the way, there's limited spots and it's mostly garage parking.

    The restaurant is clean, and the ingredients are very fresh. The service is excellent, and you can tell the staff is attentive. It's a new hot pot place and quite popular. It was busy when we visited. The soup bases are flavorful, and overall, the dining experience was very good. Definitely recommended, though the prices are on the higher side.

    Finally, Los Angeles has a solid Sichuan-style chuan chuan hotpot place. The restaurant is super clean but still has that warm, lively "smoky fire" atmosphere. The skewers are insanely affordable -- most are under 5 cents each! We ordered the yuanyang (half spicy, half mild) pot, and the mild side was already plenty spicy for me. The ingredients were super fresh, abundant, and high quality. Everything tasted great. We went on a Tuesday night and there was still a long line -- that says a lot. Definitely recommend if you're craving authentic chuan chuan hotpot!

    Beef Tallow and Beef Bone Broth

    One of the most authentic Chengdu style hot pots in the SGV. After renovations the space seems much cleaner and more upscale. Most items are self service (sauce bar, dessert/fruit bar, fridge with skewers and raw meats/veggies). Premium meats, sides, desserts, drinks can be ordered using QR code on the table. Food quality was pretty good, everything we took from the fridge was fresh. Highlights were the fresh pork blood, beef offals, and beef wrapped skewers (regular and mala). Service was pretty quick and the servers were really attentive with everything needed. Once you finish your meal the server will count the bowls/plates taken from the fridge and also count the amount of skewers in the bin. Would definitely recommend and return!

    Really fun skewers hot pot spot! I like that you can choose exactly what you want, which is perfect if you want to try a little bit of everything without ordering large portions. We tried the split pot with spicy broth and tomato broth. The spicy side was flavorful, and the tomato broth was lighter and refreshing. There were many choices, including meat skewers, seafood, vegetables, and braised items. The blood curd was surprisingly good -- soft and no strong smell. The restaurant has a cute and casual atmosphere, and the setup with bamboo baskets and small dishes is very photo-friendly. Great place for a relaxed meal with friends or family.

    Outside it was drizzling, and inside the red chili oil was bubbling -- this is exactly the kind of steamy, festive vibe Chinese New Year should have! This meal really gave me the feeling of being back in China. The restaurant's bright red decorations are full of New Year spirit. As an authentic Sichuan hot pot spot, the selection here truly hits the spot for Sichuan food lovers: duck intestines, pork brain, beef omasum, duck tongues... many "hardcore" ingredients that are hard to find elsewhere are all available here! Skewers are only $0.49 each, and small plates are $5.99. The spicy broth even comes with blood tofu, which is a nice touch. Besides the hot pot, the skewers and small plates are real highlights. There's also a self-serve sauce bar with free cold dishes and white fungus dessert. Having some after the meal is so refreshing and helps cut the richness -- pure comfort and satisfaction!

    I've visited Browned a few times over the years, mostly for their Macau-style cream puffs, but this…read moretime I finally branched out and tried more of the menu. The biggest surprise was the Kimchi Croissant, which has honestly become my favorite pastry in the SGV. The croissant was flaky and buttery, with bacon, a soft jammy egg yolk, and just enough kimchi to add a little spice and acidity without overpowering everything else. It's a combination I wasn't sure would work, but it really does. I also had one of their signature cream puffs, and it's easy to see why they're known for them. They offer some interesting flavors like Biscoff Crunch, Taro Salted Egg Yolk, and black sesame hojicha which are a nice change from the usual vanilla and chocolate options. For drinks, I tried the Pistachio Cloud Top Matcha and the Black Sesame Cloud Top. Both were well balanced and not overly sweet. The pistachio matcha was my favorite of the two. The staff were friendly and patient, even though there was a steady flow of customers and plenty of people taking their time deciding what to order. One thing to keep in mind is that they do sell out of popular items fairly early, so if you have something specific in mind, it's worth going earlier in the day. Overall, Browned is a solid bakery with creative pastries, good drinks, and friendly service. It's easy to see why it's become such a popular spot in San Gabriel.

    This is a new place, and while I was excited to try it, the parking situation was a bit confusing…read more There weren't enough clear signs showing where visitors should park or where to exit, so that part definitely needs improvement. I bought almost everything in the store to try, and honestly, the one item I would absolutely go back for without hesitation is the kimchi croissant. It was unique, flavorful, and easily the standout item. The rest was okay. The lattes were also very small for the price of $7+. Overall, I think the place has potential, especially with items like the kimchi croissant, but they need to improve the parking flow, signage once the construction is complete.

    Second time visiting this location, and it was just as good as I remembered!…read more I hadn't been here in a few months, and it looks like they've expanded their menu. They also added more outdoor seating, which is nice since the interior is pretty small. Parking is street parking only, but I've never had any trouble finding a spot. Emily, the cashier, was incredibly friendly and helpful. She took the time to walk us through the new seasonal drinks and menu additions, which made it much easier to decide what to order. Popcorn Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Tapioca ($7.85) - My go-to drink! - Perfect level of sweetness without being overpowering - Rich, creamy, nutty flavor - Brown sugar tapioca had the perfect soft and chewy texture (only wished it was cut a bit smaller) Pinewood Milk Tea ($6.85) - Similar to the Popcorn Milk Tea, but with a lighter, more subtle nutty flavor - Still delicious, though I personally prefer the Popcorn Milk Tea Jasmine Oolong Milk Tea ($6.85) - A great option if you're looking for something lighter and more refreshing Everything was made well, and the service made the experience even better.

A must-try is the Popcorn Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Tapiochi. This is a rich blend of assam black tea and creamy milk with a toasty buttery popcorn twist. It is my husband's go-to drink. Another drink I would recommend is the Cassia Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Tapiochi, my go-to drink. This drink has a comforting aroma of cinnamon with the maltiness of a milk tea and the creaminess of a latte. Their tapiochi is made in-house daily and is super delicious. This topping feels like boba, mochi, and jelly all in one. The texture of it is nice and enjoyable to chew. It also seems to pair well with basically any drink. Definitely check this spot out if you have not yet. It is unlike any of the other boba shops around. There are plenty of parking spots directly in front of the shop.
