    Wagyu beef
    Dennis T.

    This place is spacious. The bone soup base is so delicious, we almost drank all the soup after finishing all the meat. Must try the wagyu beef and shrimp meatball, the beef is so soft and melted in your mouth. The servers are very nice and responsive, thank you! We will definitely come again!

    I have to say Yuan's Hotpot is a bit of a hidden gem in the area. It's a very nice hotpot place with a nice interior. Ordered a bunch of food and I was not disappointed with the quality of each item. They have a huge variety but I remember there was no taro on the menu. Ordered the pork bone broth and it was really flavorful, like so flavorful that I didn't actually need a soup base. The heat source is pretty strong and heats up the soup quickly. The service here, although most of it was DIY like the sauce and the cooking is up to you, they came by relatively often and made sure there was enough soup. The parking entrance is a bit tight and you may over shoot it if you're not careful. Just drive carefully up to it. They also have a secondary lot in the event the primary lot is full. They have arrows pointing to it. Overall, I enjoyed my experience here and I would definitely come back. Wish they had taro on the menu though

    Absolutely loved this hot pot spot Everything about the experience was on point. The ingredients were super fresh -- you can really taste the quality in the meats, veggies, and seafood. The broth was rich and flavorful (perfect level of spice ), and everything cooked beautifully. Service was impressively fast and attentive without being overbearing. We never had to wait long for anything, and staff made sure we were taken care of throughout. The restaurant itself was also very clean and well-maintained, which always makes a big difference for me when it comes to hot pot places. Overall, such a satisfying and fun dining experience. Definitely one of the better hot pot spots I've tried -- I'll 100% be coming back!

    The food is very good. The service is excellent. Will definitely come again. Awesome place.

    Hot pot in America hits different. The broth was rich, the beef was insanely fresh, and somehow the whole table turned into therapy, business strategy, and chaos at the same time. Nothing brings people together faster than boiling food and arguing over who overcooked the wagyu.

    I have come here multiple times now and enjoy the experience every time. Their portions are pretty good, and I love the side dishes that they offer. They accommodate large parties too, so would be a good place to host a hot pot party

    The hot pot place is really clean and tidy - the serving counter and condiment table are spotless. The food tastes really good and is fresh. The servers are also very friendly and clean the tables and bring water regularly.

    One of our go to hot pot places! Service was amazing, everything came out quick and they always helped clear out our tables when we finished plates. The short ribs are and are a steal for the price! Hand made beef balls were also surprisingly good. They recently got an updated sauce/sides bar which is nice. Also love the sesame balls for dessert!

    This is one of my go-to hotpot spots in town. We usually get their 3 split soups, and their broth is very flavorful. The spicy broth is really tasty and spicy, so if you're not good with spice, even the less than mild can be pretty hot. I like that their seafood tastes fresh and their short rib has got the right amount of marble. Definitely great casual spot to eat out with a small group of friends or family. The servers are really quick too.

    Super nice place, food is delicious. Customer services is well served. Will come next time again !

    Nice ~ I love this pot!!

    What a great place for hotpot. I was here for a dinner on a Friday night. One of the reasons why we selected this place was because they take reservations. There is plenty of parking available in the back of the restaurant and also street parking. The restaurant was not as busy for Friday night, but because we were in a larger group, we were able to get a room upstairs. There are a few rooms upstairs for larger groups, but there is a minimum spend. The rooms upstairs are definitely good if you have a larger group. Yuan's is not all you can eat, so everything is a la carte. They give you an ipad to order. We ordered a lot that night, but some of my favorites were the short ribs and brisket. We also got a bunch of broth to share. My favorite was the mushroom (I thought it would be the spicy one, but I thought it was a little too spicy). They also have a separate sauce bar upstairs so you don't have to go up and down for sauce refills. I believe they also have a few appetizers, which are not upstairs, but the servers will bring you refills. I definitely had a great experience here. There was great food all around. I also want to shout out to the servers who were all so nice and attentive. Even when we were upstairs, they would come by and check in on us. Definitely will be back again soon.

    3 broths!
    Heather S.

    Hands down.... way better than Haidilao in every way. All the broths we tried were good. The meat and veggies were fresh. The sauce and appetizer bar always stacked. Friendly service. No complaints.

Won't allow to change some food on banquet menu, just had to add another dish. Food came out fast & with big plates, hardly any space on table, waiter just left it on top of 2 serving trays. They didn't care that serving plates were still full. The beef loc lac was tough, deep fried fish sauce tasted weird with their sweet sour sauce, pea sprouts which I was trying to change to another dish but couldn't, sure enough was so fibrous & chewy. The special fried rice was so full of all different kinds of meat that it was like a meal in itself. With 10 different dishes it would have been better to serve plain white rice. Felt service could been better for 18% service already added on bill. Tea was even charged. Had to ask for menu at cashier & was told already at table, asked for waiter so we can order, had to ask for water, spoons & forks or to have some serving plates taken away to have more space at table. There were few waiters & feel that they were not attentive and restaurant was not even busy. Even parking lot was not full but there was courtesy valet parking & girl was insisting on parking the cars even though several cars was starting to line up. I would never recommend or return to this place again. Just disappointed that my guests did not enjoy the food as well.

The place was bustling for a good reason. You must try their seafood of course, its in the name. But especially the house special lobster noodles. The plate was ginormous and could feed up to 10+ people. Flavors were all there too. I also had the red cod for $50/pound. While it was good, the cod costed $150 and didn't have much meat. Top notch service.

It was about 15min wait time. Inside, they had the AC pretty high so it was kind of cold. You order yourself using their tablet already on the tablet. Servers are quick, providing good service. We ordered several dishes: -wagyu beef burger ($15.98): only 2 halves but very juicy and tender beef (5/5) -beef wrap ($12.98): comes with 4 pieces and filled with lots of beef, not greasy with crispy outside (5/5) -soup dumplings ($15.98-$17.98): price ranges depend on the filling with lots of soup inside (5/5) -XO sauce stir fried green beans ($14.98): decent portion but nothing spectacular (3/5) -steamed vegetable dumplings ($0.99): was part of their Mother's Day special. Decent dumplings with black fungus and glass noodles inside (3/5) -braised beef noodles ($16.98): decent portion with chewy thin noodles and a few pieces of beef (3/5) Overall, this place is still pricey for the portions but pretty yummy for those special occasions.

We were…read moreable to call ahead earlier in the morning and ask if we could be on the wait list or reserve a table. They told us they could reserve a table for us at 6pm. We originally were hoping for 7 or 7:30, but based on how busy and popular this place is I can see why they said no. Come early and get seated right away and there's still ample parking in their parking lot. By the time we left at 7:30p, the lot was packed and people circling around hoping to snag a spot from folks leaving. The restaurant is pretty large and has about 3 rooms with different size tables and booths. No matter the size of your party, there's a table that will accommodate. The staff were very nice and attentive and FAST! We had our food out probably 15 min after we put in our order! Now...on to the food. We ordered one of the set menus for our party of 7 and it was spot on! As you can see in the pictures we had all the "classics". Our set meal could easily be enjoyed by at least 10 people. We had so many leftovers! The food was all well prepared and sufficiently seasoned. Portions of each dish was plentiful and everyone will be able to get enough to satisfy. My favorite items: lobster (duh!), kung pao chicken, pork chops, and shaking beef. The seafood soup is a great starter, and don't forget to add a little vinegar and pepper! Great restaurant in the SGV. This location is much bigger than their Rowland Heights restaurant, but the food is exactly the same. This is a great alternative to the popular Newport Seafood, so don't sleep on this place!

Came at 530 pm on a tuesday, and there wasen't anyone here yet. Afterwards it filled up quickly!! The main thing I dont like about this place is they dont have the prices on what your ordering. Which I'll get too at the end. Like any other Chinese restaurant, their menu is super extensive. I love how they have a little bit of everything. And its very well organized too. We ordered the following: 1. Crab and fish maw soup- this soup was amazing. It was just the right temp. Got me sweating. Can easily feed 12 people. Great amount of maw. The consistency is just right. Tasted so good!! 2. Small lobster special- on a bed of noodles. It was about 5 lbs. Cooked well. Could do without. Basically flavors. And it was expensive!! About $30 a lb. So this one dish cost basically the same amount as all the other dishes. Which was just too much. If I knew it was that much I would definitely not have ordered it. 3. Walnut shrimp- not the best walnut shrimp I've had. But it was ok. 4. Garlic shrimp- this shrimp dish was ok. Too many bell peppers and onions. It was just ok. 5. Mongolian beef- flavors were not that great. Very tender though. Could've been better. 6. Sea trout- this was amazing!! I love the sauce. Fish was so soft and tender. The heat, the spice, the sweetness. Some of that sauce in white rice was just perfection. It was really really good. Best dish of what we ordered. 7. Kung pao chicken- this was a really good dish. Crispy bits of chicken. But so soft and tender inside. I love the sauce that it was in. It was by far one of the highlights of the meal. It was good food. Price for everything (except the lobster) was pretty good. Food tasted amazing for the most part. Typical Chinese customer service. Pay at the front. Massively large portions. Solid authentic Chinese food.
