Came by for some lunch with friends on a Tuesday afternoon. It was just the three of us and there was no wait so that was nice. When we arrived I got seated and saw that here was a QR code on the table. The staff was friendly and told me that I could also help myself to the sauce bar or the meat fridges. It was pretty intuitive of how to get food and all that. We especially came because of the lunch deal, which was pretty reasonable. I do here though that it gets busy at night. There was a bunch of parking at the time we came so that was also nice.
This is not like a normal hotpot place. It's more than that. Other than many meat choices on a stick you can also scan do order some additional meat. There is also a dessert area other than meat and vegetables. The price for ayce is very good. The service is a little slow but there are a lot of tables. The decoration is exactly what the name of the restaurant is, like sitting on the side of the road for food on a stick.
craving for hot pot and found this place to try, as the other 2 places we had in mind didn't work out (1 was closed, the other had to wait 2 hrs w/o reservation). we walked in, around 6:30pm on Thursday, when they were just setting an emptied table. it's not a huge place but all the tables were filled throughout our dinner. we were told M-Th they serve AYCE for $34/person. we picked combo soup base and freshly sliced, beef and lamb. the rest were displayed inside several refrigerators along the wall. there is a self serve condiments counter with enough selections but not as much as some other hot pot restaurants. the soup base actually was very tasty that dipping sauces were not necessary. not too many green vegetable selections (I only saw napa cabbage, spinach and tong hao). quality of the meat was very good for an AYCE hot pot restaurant compared to similar places locally. service was friendly.
This was my first time trying skewer hotpot and it did not disappoint. I especially liked their fried dessert!! so yummy. Meat quality was good & they had very large variety of foods. I loved the tomato hotpot base. The spicy one was quite spicy. Some menu items are ordered through a qr code and the rest can be taken directly from the fridge section.
This was my first time having Chinese hot pot! My friend and I came on a Thursday night and it was a busy night. The parking spaces are kind of tight and the lot fills up quickly so I recommend planning ahead of time just incase there is no available parking. The soup bases are delicious. I tried the mushroom soup base (very strong mushroom flavor base) and the spicy soup (SUPER spicy). I like the idea of the meats being on skewers because it makes it easier to eat! There are various sides that are offered. There are a lot of meat choices and veggies to add to your soup as well. Some of my favorite skewers were: beef with okra, beef with mushroom, and all the vegetable skewers. For all the seafood lovers, they have a wide selection of seafood and fish/squid balls as well. My favorite part is the dipping sauce! The fried pork is something I recommend trying! The service was okay. We got checked in and seated and placed our order; other than that we were not checked in on again until we asked for the bill. It is a very affordable AYCE hot pot restaurant that I recommend going to.
My friend and I wanted to try out a new place and decided this looked good. We went on a Friday evening (parking was horrible, as everyone already mentioned, but we were lucky enough to find a spot after 1 go around) - although there were a lot of people, the line wasn't bad and we were seated pretty quickly. We walked up and down the plaza at first since we couldn't figure out where it was, but the aroma of spice lured up to the right spot. After being seated, we looked at the menu, but weren't quite sure as how everything worked as no one told us the procedures. Perhaps they expected everyone to already know what to do? Anyway - after looking around and at the menu, we figured out what to do and ordered our soups (dinner special included some soup flavors, but not all; additional $ required for some of the more "premium" options and dishes) then got right to picking up our self served ingredients. Overall, the ingredients were decently fresh and in abundance. The soup was okay, but needed a way to customize - some salt, pepper, etc, on the tables would help a lot. Customer service was also decent - dishes were picked up quickly so we could continue grabbing more items. The place was relaxing and while on the louder side, you could still have a conversation without yelling.
My favorite hot pot spot!! I want to say bien bien lol so good You can order the buffet lunch special for $24.99. I might have misread that. Don't quote me on it. The lady with shorter hair was very kind and polite. I ate in peace during my visit. Will Always return here. The spot looks like an outdoor patio indoors with the art work. Dig the art on the walls. Very unique spot. I highly recommend you visit here when you can.
I love MLBB! It's located in Yes Plaza and with that, comes horrible parking. I came here for dinner and I was seated immediately, there's a very comforting vibe to the restaurant and I found it to be very cozy! You order your food via a QR Code and it comes in an instant, after that, you cook everything on your own. You can have up to two choices of broth and I went with the Szechuan Beef Tallow Broth. It's quite spicy unless you're used to spice. Everything else was delicious and I didn't realize how expensive it got to. There are veggies, fish, tofu, proteins, and etc. and you can cook it to your liking. I recommend coming here with a group of friends :)
This is an underrated hotpot place. It's in a strip mall in Rowland Heights, where there's ample parking. For whatever reason, the drivers there are kinder and more patient, so as a pedestrian, I feel safe there. The restaurant itself is clean. They automated the process so that you can order your soup base, veggies, meats (on a stick or on a plate), and whatever add-ons you'd like. They have a sauce and spices station (which costs an extra $3 but it's worth it), where you can also get shrimp chips, as well as fruit like watermelon and orange slices for after the meal. My stomach cannot handle spicy stuff so we ordered the mushroom broth. It was flavorful on its own, but mixed with the seasonings we chose, made for a potent soup. We ordered things like beef with enoki mushrooms, wagyu beef, lotus root, and a nice appetizer they call spicy pork (that you dip into ketchup and an orange peppery spice mix) - everything was mouth-wateringly good. We couldn't order more because we were so full as it is, so I suggest going with a large group. The atmosphere is fun and relaxed (we went at lunchtime), and the diners inside were respectful of everybody else. Our server Tee, was friendly and attentive. She made sure our water pitcher was always full and that we understood the mechanics of how to maximize our experience there. We loved our time there so much that we are planning to spend our kid's birthday there because his friends haven't experienced anything like this. It's a forgone conclusion that it will be fun - and that we'll get so much bang for our buck! Pro tip: become a member of their program and get a discount!
