Traditional and yunny schezuan spot. They know how to bring the spice! Theres also a side bar for you to make your own dipping sauce. Food is fresh. Service is fast and polite. All around A+++

The front desk experience has been consistently frustrating.
The young lady there appears inattentive and unsure of the process. Even after joining the Yelp waitlist ahead of time, we’re left standing without explanation for 5-10 minutes each visit until another staff member takes over and seats us.
The lack of coordination at the entrance gives the impression that no one is actually managing the line properly.
Fortunately, the rest of the staff are warm and professional, and the hot pot options are solid.

The decor was on point — warm yellow lighting gave the whole place a cozy and welcoming vibe. Their self-service bar is just $2.98 per person and totally worth it. It’s packed with snacks, desserts, tons of hotpot ingredients, and all the spices you need to make your own custom sauce. Just a heads-up: don’t go for the beef combo if you’re expecting the usual thin-sliced hotpot beef. It came as a whole beef steak — super tender and flavorful, but not the easiest to chew if you have braces like I do! Other than that, everything was amazing. Highly recommend!

One of the better hotpot places locally and possibly a new favorite. Ingredients are fresh and the sauce bar has a plethora of snack choices. Although not all you can eat, the prices are very fair and surprisingly low for such quality.
Service was pretty fast. The atmosphere is historic in a very cozy way.

This is a chain Mala hot pot restaurant. The decoration is that of a library. They have an extensive sauce area with snacks and a few desserts. The soup base was tasty and the meat/vegetables tasted fresh. Overall a good experience

Over the past several years I’ve had my birthday dinner at Lameizi Hot Pot, either at the Rowland Heights branch or the San Gabriel one. I didn’t go there specifically for my birthday; it just happened by coincidence. I tend to crave hot pot about twice a year. Interesting pattern.
Every time I went to the Rowland Heights branch, it was because I needed an oil change at KB Motor. There aren’t many dining options in that area. But KB Motor is getting more and more expensive, so I don’t think I’ll have the chance to visit Lameizi in Rowland Heights again.
The good news is that Lameizi in San Gabriel is even closer to my home. That location has newer and better renovation than the Rowland Heights one, and the food is even slightly better.
Lameizi represents the standard, classic, middle-of-the-road hot pot in the San Gabriel Valley. In China, it would probably be considered below average. But here, it offers fresh and clean meats, good portions, and traditional soup bases. You don’t really run the risk of ordering anything bad. It’s just average, but in a good way. Nothing stands out, but nothing disappoints.
By the way, they’ve stopped offering the free Sichuan pepper peanuts at the dipping station, which used to be one of my favorites.

Very pricey, but everything is very fresh. The mild spicy level is already too much for most ppl, don’t try the regular spice level unless u r a pro. Also have a unlimited salad bar with delicious deserts just like Haidilao.

This was our first time visiting this chain’s location in San Gabriel. It is more spacious and the food quality is good. There were only two minor issues: There was no one checking the waitlist at the main entrance when we got there. The bathrooms only allow one person at a time. Other than those overall it is a very well managed restaurant.

Feels like waking into some historic Chinese eatery. All the wooden shelves with Chinese herbal decor feels really warm. Soup base really good and their mala is really numbing. Great snack and sauce bar set up. Ingredients are all super good. Low key better than HDL. One of my fav hot pots for the future. Their restrooms are stocked with oral care so you can make out with your girl after hot pot lol

Chongqing style hotpot which typically means very spicy. We ordered half mild spicy and half non spicy broth and the mild spicy broth was quite strong. Good decorations inside. Not all you can eat style. You need to order individual items. A bit pricey but there are some free snacks at sauce bar. The spicy broth was quite greasy (real Chongqing style). Would be nice to have some fresh fruits at snack/sauce bar. Overall a good place to try Chongqing style hotpot.
