Large free parking lot, which is always convenient. Ordering is done by scanning a QR code and placing your order from your phone. Tried the satay beef pot -- it was good, though nothing particularly stood out. Also tried the calamari which was standard. Casual vibes with nice service overall. read more

Great hotpot and Asian Fusion style Ada was wonderful !! A lot of selections for people used to asian cuisine and for beginners. Food came out fast along with the drinks and appetizers. But, the soup comes out very hot, so be careful when eating. read more

I've been here a couple times for lunch and it's been a pretty good experience! They give out free black/green tea during lunch which is very refreshing but a little too sweet. I got the Beef Sukiyaki and it was just perfect! Loved the amount of meat they gave, the broth, veggies, and the udon was the perfect touch to this dish. I would come here more often if I was local. It's a better alternative to Boiling Point since there's generally no wait! read more

Always so satisfying here, whether it's during summer or during a cold winter night. They're typically understaffed since it's only 1-2 servers who manages the whole front of the house (bills, cleanup, make drinks, serve). Tables were open but still a wait since they couldn't clean up in time. House special pot is always good, with a choice of spice level and rice or vermicelli. I always get medium spice with rice. Their popcorn chicken pot is also good, with savory crispy chicken served on the side. Lamb and curry pot are also very yums. You won't be disappointed in any of them. Each pot has different toppings in the pot, but usually a lot of variety including cabbage, corn, quail eggs, meatballs, clams, tofu, etc. The sauces are what makes it more delicious . I love the garlic and soy bean paste for dipping. This place also has my favorite almond milk tea. Love their type of almond flavor here. read more

Me and friends, this one of our favorite spots to have lunch and never disappoints for some good hotpot! The Sukiyaki pot is one of my favorites here, so good and flavorful! Not spicy either. Since it's a lunch special, you get an iced tea either black or green flavor with your hotpot. In the past, we didn't have good service but for this visit it was good! read more

We go here practically every weekend lol we love it so much! My fav is the Taiwanese hot pot (med spice for me) and my partner likes to get the pumpkin! Their sauces are also delicious! You can choose between vermicelli's or rice with your pot. We also like to get the fried tofu appetizer and sometimes popcorn chicken. If you go during lunch you get free black or green tea (iced). Go before 12pm and you'll wont have to wait really. Slight wait if you go after. Shared parking, plentiful read more

Personal Taiwanese hot pot. Very Boiling Point-esque. We came in for lunch and had a good time. The food was good. Everyone had a nice time. Solid and serviceable. This is a chain so I'm sure all their locations offer the same style and service. It's not to not have to wait in the BP line. read more

We've been trying to come here since we started dating but our timing has been off due to when they close between lunch and dinner. We did arrive at about 2:20 on a Saturday and got in but quickly found out that they close at 3:00. This made for a rushed experience and took away a bit from our enjoyment. The place is small in comparison to other hot pot places we've gone. You'll be subjected to your dining neighbor's conversation, but other than that, you have plenty of space to fit your food. My girlfriend helped explain the menu to me and I was able to pick out the Thai Style Pot and degree of spice. Service was quick, but probably because they wanted us out quickly. Initially, I enjoyed all of the items, but when we got down to the broth at the end I really wanted to savor it. Unfortunately, we were pushing up to their afternoon closing time. The price for the meal was great and we look forward to coming back at a more convenient time for us and them. If all goes well, I'll update my review to 5 stars. read more

Tried the Vegetarian Mushroom Pot here yesterday and it was underwhelming. The broth was extremely bland--basically tasted like lightly salted water. It felt like the ingredients (veggies and mushrooms) were just added to plain water and left to cook, without any real depth of flavor. Even the greens tasted bitter. They also forgot to include the rice that was supposed to come with the order. I didn't bother bringing it up since the food had already killed my appetite at that point. If a restaurant is going to include vegetarian hot pot on the menu, there needs to be more thought put into the broth. Even without meat-based stock, there are plenty of ways to build flavor--herbs, spices, and traditional ingredients like star anise or jujube can make a big difference. The ambience is nice, good customer service, but the baseline (food) is not there. read more

Were the pots on fire? Yes! We had a good time enjoying hot pot on a cold rainy night. The food was authentic and delicious. The service was good. Everything was good and the only reason I didn't give it five stars was that nothing really stood out as excellent. read more

Good food, ok service. I came for a work lunch and the restaurant filled up quickly at lunchtime. Their menu is similar to Boiling Point but might have even more options! They also have free teas provided, not sure if it's just for lunch though because it wasn't on the menu. I got the House Special Pot at mild spice and it was super yummy and enough food where I had leftovers. Unfortunately the service was a bit disappointing though. One of my coworkers hadn't realized that the House Special Pot he ordered came with clams as well and he's allergic to shellfish so had to stop eating out of caution. When he raised this with staff they just told him it was on the menu and he should've noted it when ordering. There was no support in pointing him to other pots that didn't have shellfish and so he spent most of the lunch looking through the menu more carefully and making it clear with them to not include shellfish. read more

Saw another Taiwanese hot pot not BP and decided to try it out. I got the house special pot mild spicy. The soup had a very strong Chinese Bullhead BBQ taste. The meat quality was not good for the default option. Lots of greens in the pot but not much of the other stuff. The popcorn chicken was great. Chicken has flavor and was crispy. The pot is on the pricier side and if you want good meat it is an additional add on. Ordered via a QR code and the service was good. Small restaurant but lots of parking. Would only come back for popcorn chicken. read more

I like to order the tomato pot. Majority of their pots offer pork slices, instead of beef slices, if that is what you prefer. They offer good sauces to dip here, the soy garlic and sesame peanut sauce are so yummy. I like that you can scan the QR code on your table to order since the service is extremely subpar. read more

My husband and I love coming to Pot on Fire--it's one of our go-to spots for delicious hot pot! The flavors are always on point, and the serving sizes are just right. It's consistently satisfying and comforting. For appetizers, we always order the chicken popcorn (crispy and flavorful!) and the thousand year egg with cold tofu--a must if you're into traditional dishes. The only downside for me, as a bit of a germaphobe, is that the drinks are brought over with hands touching the top rim of the cup. It's a small detail, but one I notice every time. Highly recommend if you're in the mood for a cozy and flavorful hot pot experience! read more

I visited on Monday around lunchtime, and the place got really packed right after opening. If you're coming here, come for the food, not the service. The food was excellent, the Taiwanese spicy beef is always on point and still my favorite dish. The Beef Bento also has a good portion of meat with a decent price. However, the service could use some improvement. The server didn't seem to speak English very well and wasn't very friendly. He placed water with no ice on my table without saying anything, and didn't ask if I wanted ice water or anything else. Ordering was done through a phone scan of the barcode on the table. The wait time for food wasn't too long, and they offer one free iced green tea or black tea with every pot you order. After ordering, the server will ask which tea you prefer. The pot also comes with choices of steam rice / glass noodles. Overall, the food is great, the restaurant is clean, and the prices are affordable. I'll definitely be back. read more

A few days ago, I passed by Chino and found this place on Yelp -- almost a thousand reviews and 4 stars, so I decided to give it a try. After sitting down, I realized it's run by Taiwanese people. After eating, I knew I'd definitely come back again. The hot pot comes with lots of ingredients, and you can add your favorite extras. Lunch even includes a drink, and there are plenty of tasty night market-style snacks. Left feeling full to the top of my head -- totally satisfied! read more

Absolutely great place. Service was phenomenal. The restaurant had a warm welcoming feeling and the food was so good.

It's not too often I get Hot Pot, but Pot on Fire definitely impressed me and left me full. Once we arrived, we hopped on the digital waitlist and waited about 10 minutes to be seated; it was quite busy in the evening on the weekend, so expect a wait. Once walking in, you just get a whiff of seafood smell. You can order everything digitally, and they have an extensive menu and even their own brand of bubble tea. While we were entering our order online, the waitress actually took our order, which was much more convenient. I ordered the Sukiyaki Pot, which has Japanese Udon inside. All of their pots have so many toppings to enjoy! Once they light the pot up, I recommend that you ask an employee to turn it off after 5-10 minutes. Everything was super hot so fast, haha. I'm returning and will try their popcorn chicken next time. read more

Solid alternative to boiling point. I thought the meat wasn't quite as fresh but the BBQ flavor in the soup was quite nice. The fermented tofu flavor is quite bold and great if you like the strong pungent flavor. What really stood out to me though was the popcorn chicken. Felt like they used the proper Taiwanese style breading that had a nice crunch! read more

I was craving hot pot and boiling point's wait was way too long, so I found this spot near by. I ordered the pumpkin hot pot and my partner got the sukiyaki. Pumpkin hot pot - 7.5/10. I really enjoyed the broth, it was rich and flavorful. Only thing I wish I could've done was swap out the pork for beef. Sukiyaki hot pot - 8/10. This reminded me of the sukiyaki you can order from Mikiya. Although it's included, a side of rice/glass noodles isn't necessary because the pot comes with udon which was already filling. read more

The Pot on Fire is very popular especially during dinner time. I recommend getting on the virtual waitlist before arriving. They have a variety of options to order from and many types of appetizers. I typically order the Kimchi Beef Soup and popcorn chicken. read more

The restaurant is well lit and the service is amazing. They provided samples of anticipated menu items - at the time they gave us Takoyaki There are a variety of different soups to choose. This is what stands out compared to its competitor, Boiling Point, located a few blocks away. I like that you can choose the level of spice and between vermicelli and rice. The spiciest level isn't all too spicy (6/10) but the flavor no matter which pot you choose is excellent. read more

After passing by this establishment many times, my partner and I finally paid a visit after work! We were quickly seated and with the ordering system being online, we got our order within 15 minutes! The pots we got were piping hot and the broth was delicious! My order came with popcorn chicken and the chicken was nice and crispy, a perfect pairing with the soup that I ordered. My partner's soup did not fall behind on the taste department too! Unlimited broth led us to getting 3 refills of the soup and we left extremely full and satisfied, a great way to end the work day. I'll definitely be thinking about this place the next time I want to get hot pot! read more

Service - There's only one server for 10 tables, and he also has to handle the cashier. I even hesitated to ask for a glass of water or extra soup for the hot pot. The steak is good. The beef hotpot is not impressive, it's the just like other chain hotpot restaurant. The fried chicken is big no because it's so dry. It's really hot inside so I quickly finished my food and left. read more

Horrible customer service. We walked in with a family of 6. I bought food from an outside vendor because my 1 year old can't eat hot pot because of the spice. They told us that no outside food allowed. I get that they have to follow the rules but come on are you serious. It can't be that serious.the two ladies were super rude about it too.we love pot on fire and have been coming for years. That'll be our last visit read more

I stopped by Pot on Fire in Chino since I was craving hotpot and got the Taiwanese spicy beef pot and popcorn chicken with a honey green milk tea with boba, solid 5/5. Probably the best hotpot in the city, the broth is super flavorful and the portions are filling. It does get busy during prime time so you might have to wait a bit and sometimes flag the staff down for refills, but it is still worth it and has become my go to spot for hotpot. They also have a lot of TVs playing so it is a great place to come watch your favorite sports team while you eat. read more

Service here was a let down. The girls that were working were not helpful at answering questions and would just ignore you. Food portions are small and deceiving compared to the photos they post on the wall. The picture looks good, but when the food comes out, there is hardly any meat in the pots. On top of that, they claimed to have run out of tea, but looking around we noticed other patrons had tea, so I believe the waitresses were just being lazy and didn't want to offer the tea that they normally give you with your meals. This used to be our go to place, but service has gone downhill so I think it's time to find a different hot pot spot. read more

I haven't been to many of these personal hotpot places, but I am now a huge fan of pot on fire. I don't know if this type of concept is very popular in New York City other than at like a Korean restaurant where there is like budajigae. But I'm obsessed with this personal hotspot concept type of restaurant. Plus the food is affordable and filling. I think it's such a great price for 20 bucks. I was able to be full and have leftovers. This is definitely a place with shareable portion sizes. Will definitely need to look for more of these type of restaurants to try in California and New York. read more

Just my common weekend figuring out where to dine at in a cold weather. So I stumble across Pot on Fire with my group of five. It was a busy time, but the employee constantly keeps things in check while we wait for a table. I order a Taiwanese beef and the spice was extraordinary great. Additionally, the hot pot place got a three mixtures of sauces that greatly match any hotpot meal you pick. The store was cozy, the employee did amazing with customer service, and the food is well made. read more

Food was pretty good. My dish was ordered not spicy but when they brought it out, they said it is still spicy as a base. You order through your phone and no one is really engaged to answer questions. They give you a free tea with hot pot and someone will ask you what f you want black or green. The place fills up quickly and it's a bit small, so plan ahead. It's a normal noise level and bright lighting so it's pretty calm inside. I don't know if I would drive for this one again. read more

Solid hot pot restaurant! There's a lot of free available parking here. There's QR codes on the table where you can view the menu, and a separate link to order food for the table.

The House Special comes with a good amount of pork belly, napa cabbage, and fermented tofu pieces. read more

Terrible, terrible service!!! We didn't feel welcomed here at all. There was only 1 waiter and he looked like he didn't want to be there. Didn't truly greet us (or even smile once), introduce menu or instruct us on how to use their confusing online ordering system. We have a couple friends with diet restrictions and he made it real hard by saying no we can't do that or this here without even offering solutions or accommodations, even talked to us in a tone sorta like "if you can't eat then go somewhere else." Then, he came out telling us that we duplicated our orders and got irritated at us for making the kitchen and him confused. He made sure we saw him sighed, sarcastically smirked, shook his head and gave all kind of attitudes multiple times. Never checked in with our table unless he needed to tell us that we're doing it all wrong, and obviously, zero water or broth refill offer. Look man, this economy sucks and I get that everyone kinda need the job that they don't really want, and you're probably had a bad day and we're just unfortunate customers walking in the middle of your breakdown, but if you're working in customer services, don't make your customers feel like they're begging to eat the food your restaurant sells to them. It's such a shamed that the hot pot chain is actually good but the services drive customers away because no one would want to pay and be treated like peasants. I love POF, I genuinely think this chain is better than many other hot pot restaurants. Unless there's misunderstanding which I totally get, please provide your servers with the support they might need so they won't be burnout to the point of continuing disrespecting customers during their meals. Good food can be found anywhere, but bad dining experience stays forever. read more

Horrible service. Waited for probably 20-30 minutes and we saw bigger parties that came after our party of 4 get seated before us. Once we finally left, they called us. Probably saw they were losing business. Won't be coming back here at all. read more
