    Dual pot
    Iris K.

    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!

    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.

    Way better than I remembered after the upgrade! The mushroom broth was super rich and flavorful -- honestly even more memorable than the spicy broth. Great variety of skewers, high quality meat, and the "8 Eggs 4 Taels Rice" had amazing wok hei flavor. The orange osmanthus sparkling drink paired perfectly with the hotpot too. The whole place really feels like a lively串串 spot in China. Definitely a place I'd come back to again.

    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.

    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!

    Although the weather is getting hot, it still can't stop my love for butter hot pot! After meeting Upgrade that year, there were many new dishes, and they also added desserts and freshly made drinks ??Now you can add fresh blood to the buttery pot base . It's so smooth when you take a bite, and it's really different from the pre-made ones! I also chose the pig's stomach and chicken pot base over there, and there were really pig's stomach and chicken in it. This one is perfect for cooking vegetables. The Chinese cabbage I cooked was really delicious. At the end, I could even have a sip of the soup. Now there are fresh cuts like hock, chopsticks handle, snowflake beef, and five-flavor toe, etc. This time I ordered the five-flavor toe. Just by looking at the color and texture, you can tell it's fresh. It feels like being back home. The variety of cooked food has also increased. The fried rice I ordered this time was large in portion, rich in ingredients, and very fragrant. I even took some home and had another meal. It seems that the skewers have become less, but there are many more small bowls of dishes now. Each small bowl costs less than $5, which is very suitable for a small group of people to eat. You can enjoy a wide variety of cuisines here. This is a place I really like. Now there is also a series of braised dishes. The soft and tender braised large intestines are my favorite. The variety has also increased a lot. There are even several kinds of shrimp paste, stuffed in different ingredients. It's so hard to choose. ??The Thai chicken feet in the snack bar are a must-have every time the pot starts boiling! Besides the rice wine and ice noodles at the snack bar, there are now pre-made desserts. After having the hot pot, a bowl of chilled tofu pudding is just too good. The sparkling water is not only good-looking but also spicy. The current "Encounter" is really popular. While I'm writing this, I'm already drooling thinking about my spicy beef and chicken bone with liver skewers.

    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!

    Tried "That Year Encounter" recently after hearing a lot of recommendations. The ingredients were very fresh, and they had a wide variety to choose from. Besides skewers, they also offer bowl-style items, which gives you more options. From the outside, the entrance looks small and easy to miss, but the inside is actually quite spacious, clean, and well organized. The soup base was flavorful without being too heavy, so it's something you won't get tired of. One highlight was their "8-egg fried rice" -- it was surprisingly good, with strong wok hei and rich flavor. Definitely a must-try. Overall, a solid spot for skewers with good value, fresh ingredients, and a comfortable environment. Great for casual dining with friends.

    Came here with a friend after running errands and it was a fun meal. The $0.49 skewers are the highlight -- lots of variety and the portions are pretty decent for the price. We liked the spicy beef tallow broth and the lighter beef bone soup for fresh sliced beef. The "eight egg fried rice" was also unexpectedly good. The restaurant looks brighter and cleaner after the remodel, which made the whole experience more comfortable. Solid skewer hot pot spot in San Gabriel.

I ordered two Pandan Coffee $6.75 (price as of April 2026.. $7.46 including tax). One with regular ice and one with less ice. The pandan coffee includes Robusta Vietnamese double espresso serve with fresh pandan juice prepared in-house, coconut milk and whole milk. I loved this drink as it was just the right amount sweet. The pandan flavor was also enough for my liking, and the overall drink was not heavy (sometimes that pandan flavor can be too heavy). We thoroughly enjoyed our drinks, and I'll continue to crave it from time to time. The line was suUuper long that went straight to the restroom so I opted to order online, which I highly recommend. lotus-and-bean.square.site Though, I did want to mention that although I placed my mobile order, the order took longer to receive and pick up when compared to the estimated time. I gave it some extra time before I went up to the counter, but had to wait maybe another 10 minutes longer before I received my order. If you're in a rush, please consider ordering with sufficient time in advance through mobile order. The funny thing is, I actually got my "Your order from LOTUS & BEAN is ready" email at a comical 1:14 PM. Customer Service: Not as much interaction, the staff member who helped me was friendly Overall, I'm giving this experience a full 5 star review for my love of the pandan drink. Otherwise, the drink getting experience probably would have made this a 4. Anyways, I'll be sure to come back to satisfy my next pandan coffee craving!

For the matcha coconut, we didn't really like that it had the whole milk added and felt like the matcha could've been stronger. Coffee was good. No notes. 3. Pricing - better than most. Averaging $6.75/drink vs $8+ everywhere else. PLUS they don't charge for alt milk which is a big plus for me. 4. Service - 10/5! The lady who helped us was seriously so sweet. Loved it! 5.

Gave it a second chance since Uncle Fung was packed. I'm glad we came back. The service was good and whole experience was not bad. DRINKS: Iced Hojicha Latte, add agave & Sea Salt Foam 4.5/5 $9.25. Liked it, but slightly too sweet. It was okay after I added more ice later. Ended up combining leftover Hojicha & coffee together. Tastes pretty good. This drink got pretty expensive. Didn't realize the Sea Salt Foam was $1.25 extra. Thought it was free (came with the drink) when the cashier asked which sweetener & cold foam I would like. Hot Latte, Add Vanilla Syrup 4.25/5 $6.50.

The matcha itself was pretty weak and a bit flat, missing that rich, earthy depth you'd hope for, so overall it just fell a little meh. The sesame cream added a nice richness, but didn't bring much of that distinct nutty sesame flavor and mostly just tasted creamy. That said, the space is beautiful. It's clean and minimalist with lots of natural wood, high ceilings, and an open, airy layout. There's plenty of seating, making it a great spot to work, study, or just hang out. I'd still be open to coming back and giving it another try, maybe the double matcha will hit better next time.

Even though there was only 1 party ahead of us, it took around 15-20 minutes to get our drinks. But I'll give them the benefit of the doubt since we ordered a lot of drinks. For myself, I was able to try the traditional roasted oolong milk tea with pearl and the hojicha latte-- both at 70% sweet. I have a sweet tooth, so the sweetness was at a perfect level for both. However, I didn't get that much of a strong roasted oolong taste in the milk tea as I've gotten from other boba shops. The hojicha latte was good enough, but also did not have that strong, nutty taste in comparison to others. I am more of a milk tea person, but maybe next time I'll try the honey osthamnthus tea since a lot of people seem to love it!
