    Inside the bao bun. Not sure but I think it was vegetables inside. Soft and fluffy with a nice crunchy bottom.
    Malina C.

    Customer Service is top tier! Saja and the other lady were very accommodating, patient, and kind. The place is cute, there's a TV on the wall running loops of food and customer photos. Plenty of seating, Place your order at the register and then wait to be seated. Upon being shown to my table, they serve appetizers consisting of a vegetable Bao Bun and a Chicken Dumpling with sesame and sweet chili sauce for dipping. The dumpling had a good crunch on the bottom but the top portion of the dumpling wrapper was really hard and waxy/plastic tasting. Hard to explain, but basically they tasted like they were probably fried hours ago and kept under a heat lamp. Score: 6/10 The bun was delicious. Not sure if it was vegetables inside, but nothing noticeable. The bun was so soft and fluffy, I really liked it. Score: 8/10 On the table they provide you with 3 sauces for dipping your hotpot ingredients into--which included a sour garlic sauce, a garlic chili sauce, and a soy vinegar sauce. Wish they offered green onions, but nevertheless, mixing all three together turned out to be a very flavorful sauce. I ordered the Mala and Satay combination broth with chicken and cabbage dumplings and choice of glass noodles. My protein was beef. My hotpot was so delicious. The combo of mala and satay broths were fire and I would order it again except with less mala broth and more satay broth, and also probably add veggies. Beware that mala broth is very spicy. I was picking out pieces of red chili for days cuz I didn't want to take the chance on biting down on one of them. The beef was superb. It was sliced thinly and it just melted in my mouth. Score: 9/10 I really enjoyed the glass noodles in the soup. I'm used to ramen noodles and this was a nice change. The texture of the noodles were perfectly chewy. Since I had so much broth leftover I ordered more glass noodles to go and they were also so nice to give me a full container of satay broth on the house to take home, so that I could try to cool down the spiciness a little. For my drink I chose the caramel cinnamon milk tea. The milk teas are made with nondairy creamer which was perfect for my lactose intolerant self. It was very tasty and perfectly sweet. A little honey boba added would have set it over the top. Score: 7.5/10 What I really like about this hotpot spot is that everything is customizable from the soup broth, the noodles, the meats and veggies. They have a Vegetable Hotpot for the vegetarians. What I love most is that I can get a small app, a choice of drink, and an entree all for about $15-$16 dollars.

    I wish I could give more stars! Service was outstanding! Food recommendations were excellent! Food was absolutely delicious! Ambiance was welcoming. Can't wait to go back!

    This is an extension of Tpumps but they specialize in hot pot. Similar to the concept of boiling point, they offer a variety of soup bases like miso, satay, etc. you can also upgrade your drinks with a Tpumps drink as well. The pots come with a side of rice. The service is always so friendly here. They often bring out some complementary appetizers as well for you to try. You pick your food at the front and pay then get seated and the food comes out pretty quick. I personally always go for the satay beef option. It's flavorful and comes with an assortment of vegetables, meatballs, fish cakes, beef, etc.

    One of the best place fo have lunch at! The hotpot and service at Sweet Fires is in its name - Fire !!!! Diem was super professional and she knows how to tend to people's needs. The other staffs were also always asking if they can do anything for you (free refill on rice btw). Pretty spacious and chill! Board games after food with friends is also fun!

    Satay + Mala soup base
    April V.

    Unexpectedly delicious. For $12.99 with a free tea or $3 to upgrade your tea! You get 1 free dumpling in your soup but you can add more (unless you choose the dumplings topping option). Service was great, they explained how to order and came around to offer more rice. Love that it is local and very affordable for the high schoolers as well.

    It's been 8 months since my last review & I've been back a few times since then. Every time the service has been BEYOND exceptional. They've even added a few more new offerings since the last time I was here. Not into fish cakes? They have dumplings now. They even have more soup base offerings including curry. I always have to get dessert and it's great too. They now have individual sizes so I had to try that too. It did not disappoint. Ambiance is nice and chill with TV's all around and music too. The staff here is very attentive as well so If you want good food with superb service, please don't hesitate to try this place out!

    Delicious. My wife and I loved this place. We took our baby and they have awesome utensils for the kids. Great service.

    This place is really great. My wife and I loved this place. It was really delicious , warm and welcoming. The teas that come with are excellent as well.

    My family and I came to Sweet Fires to celebrate my cousin's birthday, since she requested something tasty that has dessert. This was one of the options I sent her, and the one we ended up going to. The are located in the same plaza as 24 Hour Fitness and Tpumps in Upland. There is plenty of parking in this plaza. I arrived first to get a table for our family of 7. The staff in front told me I could take this table in the corner, which was perfect. When they arrived, we ordered at the front and then headed to the table. The hot pots here are super affordable for only $12.99 for a hot pot AND drink. You pick a soup base, a topping base, a protein base, and have the option to pick add-ons. One recommendation for the business is to disclose what's in the base. When I asked what's in the sweet fires base, they said what's in the picture. Honestly I would be worried if I had food allergies, but good thing I don't. Also if it was already listed it would help with decision making, quicker ordering, not bugging staff with questions, etc. I had the Satay soup with the Sweet Fires topping base with pork. Most of us got that soup and toppings combination with different proteins. My aunts had the dashi soup with veggie toppings and tofu as their protein. The only pot we had issues with was my cousin who ordered the mala soup base. They said there was a funky smell and they thought it was inedible so they didn't eat. My nephew had one of their Pumpbo ($9.99) shaved ice and there was plenty for him to enjoy there and take most of it home. The food was average but what really stood out for us was the amazing service by their friendly staff. The owner or manager came out and greeted us and checked on us frequently. They gave us complimentary dumplings and turnip cakes. When they heard we were celebrating my cousin's birthday they even gave her their cold brew and this epic huge boba with all the toppings. She felt super special and I'm glad she enjoyed her birthday outing. It seems like the family enjoyed and we'll most likely be back... just no more mala for my other cousin who wanted to be adventurous.

    Went here on a whim, closing crew tonight was very good in terms of customer service. Regularly got back to us on any needs needed and informed us on menu items. I'd say the food was good and the addition of added TPumps with your meal for $12.99 (pretax) is a good deal. Upgrade for custome for just $3 more. Inside looked really nice and it is a bit small, fire choice on playing some kpop on the screen while I ate.

    Mala pot + Miso Tomato
    Sarah B.

    Tried Sweet Fries for hot pot for the first time and WOW--so delicious! I went with the mala (perfectly spicy and flavorful), while the kiddos had the tomato miso, and it was just as good, definitely did not disappoint. The owner is incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better. And to top it all off, we were treated to complimentary shaved ice at the end, such a sweet surprise! I loved the Baseball and college memorabilia on the walls. We'll definitely be back!

    Curry udon hot pot with dumpling and milk tea

    This place is amazing, you should definitely come here. They have milk teas, hot pot and shaved iced. You don't gotta go anywhere else for dessert. My curry hot pot with dumplings was delicious. And my matcha shaved ice with toppings was yummy too. The staff is friendly and accommodating. It's a chill spot.

    I took my mom here for lunch today and as my first time here, I was very impressed! From the food up to the service, it was outstanding. Great service right when you walk in and the food was delicious. They have variety of broth to choose from and it comes with a tpump drink when you order. You can add boba if you pay $3 which also upgrade the size to large. The hotspot serving was good and it comes with complimentary rice which you can ask more if you want. The service was excellent! Staff were friendly, helpful, attentive, and welcoming. This is now my go to place for hotpot. Highly recommended!

    Matcha Shaved Ice Dessert
    Helen L.

    Came here a couple times in the past and the workers and manager is always so kind. Came around 8pm to get the shaved ice dessert. Presentation and flavor was great. Unfortunately, as I had the dessert I noticed an odd hard texture and started spitting out some of the hard plastic. I tried to stay positive and composed because I just possibly swallowed bits of plastic. The whole staff apologized and refunded for the dessert and replace it with a new one. I appreciate them addressing the situation, but I am still sad by this experience and cried when I got home because I'm usually cautious when I eat food and this kinda scared me. Overall, I do hope this shop gets on top of double checking and cleaning their equipment for the sake of future customers. Only wishing them the best.

    Does the broth contain peanut oil or fish?

    Calling in to find out is allergen friendly. Should give it a try to ensure safety.

The owner came out right away and chatted with us. When we explained we were there straight from the tournament to celebrate our boy, he didn't hesitate--he made him a fresh snow cone on the spot (even though they weren't officially open yet!) and gave us a punch card so we can come back soon. In a world that can feel rushed, this small act of kindness meant the world to us. It turned a little disappointment into the sweetest memory. Thank you to the wonderful family behind at below zero shavedice for your big hearts and for making our celebration even better. We'll be back soon--your shaved ice is the best around! Support local, support kindness!

They explained that they put ice cream in the cup first, add shaved ice, then put MORE ice cream on top. I ordered a "small," it was plentiful. A large would be too much (in my opinion). The flavor I chose was "Big Stick," which is cherry and pineapple. It was fantastic! For 95 cents more you can add a topping (sprinkles, condensed milk, Oreo cookie crumbs, etc.). There isn't any seating inside, although there is room at the right of the entrance for a table or countertop with barstools. Come by and enjoy your treats, similar to the ones from the Hawaiian Islands! Sincerely, Rosemary

Since I had very few choices I decided to give them another opportunity and booked them again for a second open house. The owner added an extra $40 travel fee at the last minute, which was frustrating, but the bigger issue was that he CANCELED the day before my event claiming he was having "problems with his cart/trailer" What upset me most was seeing posts on social media the same day showing him out having a "fun family day," which made it feel dishonest and unprofessional. Because of the last-minute cancellation, I was left scrambling without food for my open house. After realizing I had seen the posts, I was blocked on social media instead of receiving an apology or explanation. Unfortunately, I will not be using this company again.
