Delicious hotpot! Waitress was super nice, too! Free iced tea of your choice between green and black during lunch hours. Tastes exactly like the tea at boiling point. I love it~ Will definitely be returning to try the other hotpot’s. There are lots to choose from!

The most disgusting pork I have ever had in SoCal. The house special pot has a rich-flavored broth; however, the pork was not fresh at all and had a horrible, nauseating smell. For a restaurant that charges such ridiculous prices, serving ingredients of this disgusting and low quality is absolutely unacceptable. I seriously doubt this place follows even the most basic food safety and hygiene regulations. This is nothing but a complete rip-off. Never going back again.

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!

Good individual hot pots with decent options. I found myself really enjoying their popcorn chicken too. The crunch and crisp just provided the perfect contrast to a big pot of boiled meats and veggies. The place was blasting A/C which was great when we entered, but made the food cool down towards the end. The restaurant is pretty small, so you may have to wait. Overall solid place, and there’s even a small playground outside for the kiddos.

We’ve been coming here for years and watching their prices increase overtime. Each pot is now at $19+, but the portions are still larger than Boiling Point.

Update as of November of 2025: So the prices have gone up as expected for the higher labor cost, but unfortunately this place was badly understaffed on the day of our visit. On top of that, one of the staff clearly didn’t wanted to be there, maybe she was just overworked. Also, the same sauerkraut pork pot tasted different than before as it wasn’t sour at all. Not sure what had happened there. Finally, this place was so understaffed that it didn’t have time to remove the promotional ads from the tables. When I asked about the promotion, the server (the nicer one) told me there was no more promotion, which was perfectly fine, but the staff needs to remove all the ads so not to mislead patrons.
Original review: We come here often for lunch and both the quality of the food and the service have been consistently decent to good. The thousand year old egg pot is my favorite. Be sure to try it if you haven’t done so already.
This place is a good alternative to Boiling Point by Costco plaza where there’s always a line. The quality and quantity of the food here was just as good as Boiling Point, but you generally don’t have to wait for a table.

I have tried Pot on fire at Cerritos before but Chino location is my favorite now. My family like hot pot, so we have gone to many hot pot restaurants in OC and LA, specially individual hotpot like this style, Pot on fire is the best flavor. My family ordered spicy beef, curry balls, lamb pot, and miso seafoods, all hot pots are tasty. The pots are hot and fresh, hopefully they improve the quality of porks because the porks are too much fat.
Fried Mini tofu is my favorite too, very crunchy outside and soft inside!

The Hot pots and snacks here are really good. They use an online ordering system where you place your order on your phone even when dining in. This is nice as it let’s you take your time when ordering and you can even add to your order even while eating. Ironically, the system does not accept payment so you still need to do that with the waitress.
