    Fried calamari
    Janet C.

    Hot pot is one of those foods I could eat all year round and never get tired of! Pop Pot in Diamond Bar has such a wide variety of broths, snacks, and drinks to choose from. The staff are super friendly, and the vibe of the place is really relaxed. I've recommended it to my family, friends, and coworkers, and everyone has loved it. My favorite has to be the Popcorn Chicken Hot Pot. The first time I tried it, I thought it was so unique--I never expected popcorn chicken to taste this good in hot pot broth! The stinky tofu is also really authentic and flavorful, and it's a snack I always have to order.

    I've been to a few spots in this plaza (Outpost Coffee, Dragon Noodle House, Paper Pot), and recently my friend recommended Pop Pot! We went in the afternoon after work and there was no wait thankfully! By the time we finished our meals it was about dinner time & all the tables were full. Despite the tables being relatively close to each other I'm glad the table we were seated at had ample space We ordered the Taiwanese Spicy Pot (mild) and House Special Pot (no spicy). I loved the spicy pot (I just wish I was better with spice, as the mild felt a bit more like medium). Still delicious nonetheless! Pay close attention to the ingredients in each soup set just in case for allergies like seafood or if you don't prefer stinky tofu. If you've never had stinky tofu before this is a great place to try with their house dipping sauce. Otherwise you can request a substitution for regular tofu. (: This place is much closer to me and less crowded than BP, so if I'm craving hotpot I'll be sure to return!

    Austin K.

    Ambiance: Typical Taiwanese hot pot aesthetic with lots of TVs Service: With the limited amount of servers their service was exceptional Food: I really enjoyed their house special. I felt the soup base was well balanced. Not too salty, but flavorful. The toppings had a nice variety as well. I do wish there were more sauce options and that they had gave more topping serving. Overall a good experience.

    Pumpkin Pot!
    Kimberly R.

    I love Pop Pot, the pumpkin hot pot is so filling, comforting and to die for! I do agree with the other helpers, the wait time did seem a little long, but in the end worth. Seating was very quick and the ambience of the restaurant was clean and nice. Perfect cold day meal for sure. The broth was very flavorful and the ingredients plentiful, im not a fan of tripe, and I wish they would of asked me what my other choice option would be instead of it. Or double up on the squash at least. Priced very reasonable to the portions and quality.

    Good food but pricey. Pumpkin pot was good but i'd prefer it with beef (extra) instead of pork (incuded). Stinky tofu was okay, house special pot was a bit too salty for my liking.

    Was in a nostalgic mood craving stinky pot and was in the neighborhood. The flavor was good and authentic, while the portion was a bit smaller than expected. There's a choice of black or green tea for free during lunch time. Overall the pop pot hit the spot.

    Seafood hot pot
    Anna S.

    This place is the better hot pot restaurant in the plaza. After my experience at paper pot, this one is so much better. We even ordered a plate of stinky tofu and popcorn chicken as our appetizers. I shared the seafood hot pot with my younger one. No spice in ours but the broth was good and not too spicy. There were clams and shrimp in ours. Can't remember the other two hot pots we ordered but one had blood cake and chicken. Again, good broth that didn't feel too salty or made us sleepy. We did have to ask for a refill on water. My older child ordered a spicy pot. Worth checking out and there's so many types of hot pot, can go multiple times. The stinky tofu was good but never enough stink!

    三媽臭臭鍋,這家火鍋店不只是我家小孩的最愛,其實我也覺得應該是這個羅蘭岡最道地的臭臭鍋,他們的鍋不只好吃,昨天去,發現飲料其實也不錯呢,這次我又嚐了他們新的口味大的炸雞排,現在通膨這麼厲害這麼大的雞排才$12多,真的是物超所值了,其實我覺得最好吃的應該是鹹酥雞,味道正宗標準的台灣鹹酥雞,這家店都已經開這麼多年了,到現在為止味道都還是維持一樣的水準,是家真的值得推薦的好餐廳

    5. Curry Fish Ball Pot
    Sam H.

    We decided to try this place while i was in town visiting. We ordered their curry fish ball & satay beef hot pots along with their popcorn chicken and calamari rings. While everything came out quickly, and the hot pots tasted ok, I was not impressed by their popcorn chicken since they lacked flavor/seasoning. The calamari rings were clearly regular wholesale item that lacked flavor and was rubbery. I would go back to try other hot pots and other appetizers. It is nice that they are individual sized hot pots. The place is a small to medium size store front. Our server and staff were professional, attentive and friendly.

    Came here with family who has come here multiple times and has loved this place for their hot pot fix for not too expensive. Most pots range from 18-25$, and are loaded with all the goodies you could ask for. When we came here around 5-6PM, the place was around 3/4 full and we did not need to wait too long. I was particularly intrigued by the popcorn chicken hot pot. I have never thought I would ever even consider this option, but after being convinced from the family as a fan favorite I had to try it. Overall, it was surprisingly good. The chicken mixed with the broth very well (although once too soggy it did become texturally a bit off) and I liked all the toppings with it. Although nothing too particularly stood out, everything meshed well together and it was a very filling meal. It was also very well appreciated that the staff comes around to check on the flames and helps you turn it off when it is boiling too much. Overall, a reasonable hot pot place with good portion and quality that is great for the fix.

    Date of visit: 9/14/2024 One of our family fave places for hot pot. I did stop coming here for a while and only started frequenting this place again early this year because hubby missed hotpot late at night and only this place was still open. What we usually order here are: - mushroom pot - popcorn chicken pot - taiwanese mala pot - satay beef pot I rate this place better than the other taiwanese more famous/well known hotpot place.

    Tired of the boiling point lines? Come to pop pot! As soon as you walk in there is a strong scent of stinky tofu but it goes away once your single serving of hot pot comes out. Portions are pretty filling and the drinks are unique! Try it out since it is starting to be soup season

    Key Y.

    This is all the meat that it came with.

    Yes .. there are some of the pot offer vegetarian option..

    I need to know if this is as good as hot spot when they were still around, that was my old go to place? And I just can't seem to find a place that replaced my old favorite place to go for a quick snack with great flavor?

    I would say Pop Pot is very close to Hot Spot, a close second. I was a regular at Hot Spot, on Tuesdays when Hot Spot was closed, I would go to Smelly Pot (which is the owner of Pop Pot) to get my hotpot fix.

    I recently moved to the area with my wife and wanted to try a local KBBQ spot. During a…read moreneighborhood walk, we saw this restaurant and felt the inkling to try it especially since there was a sign that indicated under new management. Upon entering the restaurant the host was friendly and seated us without a reservation which was very convenient since we were starving. The restaurant was clean and there were some TVs that were playing sports channels. We were given standard banchan and the steamed egg was cooked perfectly. The menu had an array of options such as prefixed combo and ala carte selections. We choose the mid level combo and wow there was ALOT of meat. My wife and I were blown away at the value of the combo because we underestimated how much brisket, bulgogi and short ribs would be coming. The server was attentive and assisted us with cooking our meats perfectly. The meat cuts were great and very flavorful so we ate to our hearts content until we were able to satiate our appetites. Overall the experience was so great that I came back a second time with my mom and brother and they enjoyed the place as well! I recommend this KBBQ spot to anyone looking for a great value and good service!

We went inside and the entire place was empty and quiet, except for a smaller room on the side which had one party in it. It took a while for us to be greeted by anyone, but after someone walked out and saw us, we were quickly seated in the empty part of the restaurant. We ordered C2, which is a combo for 2 people. The quality of the meat was pretty good, I have to say. And the staff member cooked the meat for us; however, there were times when she was cooking the meat and left, and we could tell the meat was burning. She would come back after a while to flip the meat, but for some cuts, it was a little darker than desired. The sides were just alright, and it took some time to get refills on water. Overall, for the price you are paying, which was about $85 after tip, I feel there are far better places for KBBQ.

We waited about 20 minutes, and when they finally started opening more tables, the host seated a group that arrived after us first. That was frustrating, especially after we had already waited so long. After we finally got our table after 25 minutes, we ordered Hodong's Favorite Combo, radish kimchi cold noodles, lunch box and a watermelon mocktail. The mocktail was forgotten. My wife also needed a fork, which I asked the host for, then another server, then our server. Nobody brought it. Our server didn't acknowledge me when I asked while she was cooking, so when I asked again after the first batch of meat, she replied, "I know, I'll get it." A quick acknowledgment earlier would have made a difference. It felt like requests and orders kept getting forgotten. We did enjoy the food, which is why I'm giving three stars. But after waiting for a table, a drink, and a fork, it was funny how quickly the check arrived.
