Very good authentic Taiwanese food and pop corn chicken. We love this place, we come at least a few time a month.

On Yelp it's called "Pot Pot" but inside and the menu calls it "Pot Pot & Tea". Essentially, this place is a Taiwanese hotpot similar to Boiling Point. You pick a pot of food, it comes out on a burner, and then you eat it while it's cooking on a small fire. When I first saw the menu prices online, I thought there was a surcharge because it was online but when I actually arrived, the prices online were correct. In essence, it's like a more expensive version of Boiling Point. I got the Beef Hot Soup Pot and it was 23.99 for dinner, which is more expensive compared to Boiling Point which is less than 20 before tax. So it's costing more than BP. There are other pots on the menu too which is about the same price as BP which is like 20 bucks. I was kinda surprised that the ingredients were pretty much like for like in terms of what is inside it. In terms of taste, it's similar to BP as well, I feel the pot here is a bit bigger but I felt like I was eating a lot of cabbage. I don't think there was more beef/meat. They also have the bean sauce (which is my favorite), but it's a little bit saltier here. Service here is okay. The employees don't really walk around to check on you. They mostly stay in the front counter huddled together. I struggled to get a water refill until the very end when I got my check. The interior is pretty big, the parking lot wasn't packed when I arrived and there was plenty of parking spaces. Restaurant was a bit empty during peak dinner time. Overall, my impression of this place is that it's a more expensive version of Boiling Point which makes it just okay in my book. If you are craving BP and don't want to wait for those lines, this is the next best thing but I feel like the beef pot shouldn't cost 3 dollars more than BP. After tax and tip you're pushing like 30 dollars for a Beef Pot. read more

I don't like writing bad reviews but the experience I had was really bad. First, the lamb hot pot I ordered was literally BLAND. I'm not exaggerating when I say it either. It was straight up hot water. Atleast I was provided salt and sauces to fix it, but still tasted really off. The actual dish was 2-3 pieces of lamb and the rest of it cabbage and half of some meatballs. Very lackluster. The service wasn't good. No refill of water and we sat behind a wall that was impossible to see us unless they walked over. paid my bill quickly and left. probably won't ever come back. read more

This is one of my top choices for hotpot and if I am craving for stinky tofu. Service is friendly and quick even though they are very busy. Vibe is trendy Taiwanese hot pot, clean with some private rooms and flat tv's all around. Hot pot - I have try many - my go to is number 1 house special with stinky tofu. However keep the spiciness level to med or lower as I tried the highest and can't enjoy the soup or the food as much. Seafood hot pot comes with assortment of seafood fish ball, imitation crab and various ingredients and it's yummy. And special value pick is their lunch special which is inexpensive and fills you up. It's definitely a unique hot pot restaurant that also offer tea etc. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Pop Pot - 1. House Special Pot 三媽嗅嗅鍋 - Taiwanese Near Me - Diamond Bar, California

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. read more

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. read more

Pop Pot - Taiwanese Near Me - Diamond Bar, California

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! read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

I really enjoy this spot. The parking usually isn't too bad. There's lots of seating inside available. The servers are kind and attentive. I've came for lunch a few times and the prices are reasonable. The lunch specials are cheaper than dinner prices and include a drink. I usually get the Sour Napa soup with no pork. You also get the choice between vermicelli or rice. read more

Great lunch deal and friendly service. The server was very helpful and patiently helped with my friend's very specific diet needs. The different pots all had delicious flavor and lots of veggies, would definitely visit again! read more

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. read more

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 read more

I ordered the pumpkin pot. The taste was okay. The amount of meat that it came with is a joke. It's about 3 slices of regular hot pot meat cut in half, so 6 tiny pieces. Most of it was napa cabbage, about 70% of it. The cabbage and pumpkin came uncooked. The fire wasn't enough to cook them. They refuel once and the pumpkin was still uncooked at the end. First picture is picture of the meat. Second picture is the veggies after I finished all meat and fish cakes. read more

This hot pot spot is the bomb. I used to be a die-hard Boiling Point fan, but ever since they took their seafood Thai Tom Yum broth (#10) off the menu, this has been my go-to for that fix. There's always parking, though the plaza can get pretty busy. I've never had to wait, but I usually go in the mornings or afternoons. I love that they include your choice of green or black tea with your meal. The food is fresh, the service is fast, and I'm a big fan of all their drinks. The staff is super sweet, and they also sell soju -- perfect if you're looking for a chill place to eat, drink, or even cure a hangover. Get the thai seafood, it'll make your soul happy! You can also ask for extra cilantro and green onion for garnish. enjoy read more

We had a horrible experience dining here today, first of all, the lady with long hair waitress skipped us on the sign in sheet, after we waited over an hour, I checked and realise she had crossed our name on the waitlist without calling us, when I confronted her, she was too busy finding excuses, not a word of apologies from her, than she gave us wrong ordered of seafood instead of stinky tofu hotpot, wrong ordered of rice instead noodles, when the bill came, their staff Victoria pressured me to charged my credit card twice, claimed first payment didn't went through, despite it was clearly being charged on my Apple Pay , currently I'm filing a dispute charges on my account With them. If I can, I would give them a 0 star. The Taiwanese girl has been working there for a long time, it's hard to believe she made so much mistakes and they still keep her there ( perhaps she's the manager or owner). No plan to going back, they are plenty restaurants around Rowland Heights and Diamond Bar areas. By the way, the seafood pot was expensive and tasteless too. read more

We haven't come back this place since Boiling Point open in Walnut. This place service down hill. I ordered very less spicy (fire not even on first time). It came out super spicy. I asked her (waitress) can you pls exchange not spicy. I honestly can't eat it. It's came out still spicy (still no fire second time). At this whatever we just want to get the heck out this place! What is going on with this place?!. We'll never come back this place again. Ours last straw for this kind of service. read more

The hot pot it so beautifully presented. It comes boiling hot and full of ingredients. So delicious and filling. Fun to eat read more

Pop Pot - Curry ball hot pot - Taiwanese Near Me - Diamond Bar, California

Not to be confused with the other Hot Pot place in the shopping center, Pop Pot has decent food at affordable pricing. Group of 6 went on a Sunday night and it was 3/4 full. Service is friendly, they are pretty good about refilling and putting out the flame when it's clear your pot is hotter than hades. I got the popcorn chicken hot pot- with the popcorn chicken on the side. Would come back on a cold day and if I'm in the area. read more

This is a Boiling Point type of restaurant where hot pot is individual as opposed to by the table. I tried the Taiwanese spicy pot and brown sugar milk tea with boba, both of which were good. The spicy pot had some beef, instant noodles, beef ball, fish ball, lettuce, etc and the base is slightly spicy as I requested mild. For $20, I did expect a lot more than just a few slices of beef, 1 of each of beef ball and fish ball, and other small quantities of toppings, with lots of lettuce. For the pot, it comes with rice or glass noodle so I opted for glass noodle which was also a tiny amount. Although it looked huge, it was just right in terms of quantity of food. I also sampled the popcorn chicken which was fairly good, just a bit on the saltier side. I did a Yelp check in and because it was dinner, I got the $4.99 milk tea for $1.99 and added boba which was just 50 cents more. The boba is fairly average - it's there for convenience for getting it with the food, but if you want good boba, this is not necessarily the place you would go just for boba. It is a good pairing nonetheless. Overall, I like this a bit better than Boiling Point type of places in terms of quality of individual hot pot, but the price is not as good of a value. read more

I got the Taiwanese spicy pot which includes Taiwanese cabbage, kamaboko, crab stick, enoki mushroom, quail egg, meatball, fish ball, tempura, frozen tofu, brown rice cake, pork intestine, clam, fried tofu skin, egg, instant noodle, sliced beef, cilantro, & green onion. Variety looks great but the actual portions are a little disappointing. From maybe half that list, you get ONE little clam, ONE quail egg, one meatball, one crab stick, etc. And I did not find a tempura. Quality of ingredients and flavor of soup was good. No issues with service. read more

We came here with a big group for karaoke and they have a big room and two smaller rooms and they have minimum charge for rooms including drinks and food. We had a lot of food and drinks the whole afternoon and had a good time singing and catching up. The food here is very good not karaoke type of food as they are a regular restaurant. I like the stinky tofu, the soup was good as well comparing to the boiling point. And their fried chicken and wings were also yummy read more

Pop pot is clean and never has a wait when we stop by. They are very similar to other individual hot pot places where they serve a complimentary tea during lunch. The service here is hit or miss. The most recent time we went it was fine, but before then it would be so difficult just to get a cup of water. On the other hand, I love that pop pot has more variety in their sets compared to some of the other places in the area. A lot of places do mostly lettuce, sprinkle some meat and other items and call it a day. My go to dish is the pumpkin hot pot - I do wish they had a few more slices of pumpkin in it since the pieces are already so thin. Overall, I think it's a great place if you want some variety. In terms of price it's pretty on par with other individual hot pot places (about $1 less overall vs bp). The sauces here are not as great tho, so usually I opt out of them. read more

Pop pot is my favorite hot pot place!! I love the hot pot and the side orders. Tempura is the best and also the stinky tofu with sausage

Ambiance was nice. I believe the waitress was trans and very cute. Food menu was good. For some reason my lamb hot pot included cubed lamb. I also tried to order additional lamb and the waitress came back saying I cant order additional lamb. Lost 2 stars for this because I probably wont be back :( read more

I've been to Pop Pot several times already but never had a chance to review it. Probably because I have nothing to complain about this place. The pots have good portion, are flavorful, and not salty. Most pots also have a good meat to veggies ratio imo; if you like more meat then you may want to ask for more. I haven't tried any of their milk tea, or with cream so can't say much about it, but I like their classic tea especially the Tieguanyin. Service depends on the time you visit. I'd say at lunch they are more attentive and faster; at dinner they tend to be slightly slower when the restaurant is busy. But overall I still think service is decent. read more

Pop Pot - Pumpkin pot and mushroom pot. Delicious! - Taiwanese Near Me - Diamond Bar, California

I came here for dinner at 5 pm and it wasn't busy. It did get busier around 6 pm. There is a good amount of seating inside. The interior was decorated for Halloween so it was cute and festive. Japanese miso pot (4/5): I really enjoy the variety of items in this pot. For seafood, you get shrimps, scallops, fish, mussels, and squid. You also get a quail egg and a raw egg on top. This pot comes with pork instead of beef. They give a good amount of everything. I especially like the udon with it all. It is a very mild tasting broth and I should've added more spice for additional flavor. Overall I like the place. I think it is a little pricey but I don't know how it compares to other hot pot restaurants. But I've been here twice and I haven't had to wait too long for a table which is nice. read more

Individual hot pot spot with private rooms. They do serve a small selection of beer even though it's not listed in the menu (American and Japanese). Came here with my family for dinner on a Sunday evening and there was no wait. My sister got the curry fish ball and I got the Taiwanese spicy pot, and my dad shared with both of us. We also got an order of popcorn chicken. You do need to ask for sauce and there's limited sauces to share among the restaurants. You have the option of vermicelli noodle or rice for your side. The flavors were good although they were a bit stingy with the meat. Credit cards accepted. Free parking lot. Good for kids and big groups. read more

Food poisoning. We had the beef hotpot and sukiyaki. We went as a group and 80% of the members either had an upset stomach or vomited after our meal. I'm not sure what happened because I've been there before and I was fine. Perhaps the quality of their products have changed? Luckily, I wasn't that hungry that day so I didn't eat much and only endured a stomach ache. The others weren't so lucky. The service and environment was okay, but damn, not worth the hours of suffering we all endured afterwards. I would think twice before dining at this establishment. read more

It's located 1st floor in a plaza located at Lemon & Golden Springs. There are plenty of parkings or you can park at the side street. If you don't want a long wait at Boiling Point, you can come try this spot in Walnut. Nice ambiance in the restaurant with a few TV screens. The service is pretty good and our orders came pretty quick. Very extensive Menu with lots of appetizers/snacks, drinks, few rice dishes, and 20 different hot pots to pick from. I got really excited from the hot pot choices which made it difficult to choose. There are various spicy level you can choose from and along with your hot pot, it comes with either rice or vermicelli. Dinner price average range from $16.99 to $20.99, Lunch is $1 cheaper. I ordered the Taiwanese spicy hot pot w/ mild spicy and it is a slightly bigger portion than the others. I will definitely come back to try other pots such as : Pepper Pork Tripe Chicken Pot, Sesame Oil Chicken Pot, Satay Beef Pot, Korean Pot, Sour Napa Pot). read more

If you're looking for a cozy and welcoming spot to enjoy a hearty meal with your loved ones, Pop Pot is definitely worth checking out. Their house special is a standout dish that you won't want to miss, it filled with everything that you would ever want, and fills you up really good. They also make a great Sukiyaki, that really warms your stomach on a cold day. The best thing is thier combos come with drinks to cool you off while you are enjoying your steamy hotpot.

With the recent cold weather, hot pot seems like the best option for dinner. My friend suggested this place and I decided to give it a try. Since it was raining, there was not much wait before I was seated. The place is clean and spacious. I ordered the pumpkin pot with noodles. I like how it has the pumpkin flavor and not overly sweet or salty. There's a variety of ingredients in the pot which is great. The only down side is it's about $17 before tax and the portion of a bit in the smaller size. Like they only put half of a fishball instead of whole one. Other than that, they have a unique selection that you don't see in other hot pot places. read more
