I know we’re all obsessed with super spicy tallow hot pot now, but this isn’t Sancheng lameizi or Laomatou. This is Chongqing Yaomei in old town Pasadena.
The concept is pretty much the same, you order your soup bases, I went with bone broth and the spicy tallow, of course. Grab your unlimited appetizers and make your own sauces from the self-serve bar. Then order all your ingredients from your phone.
Presentation? A1 here. Bonus points because the server will help you mix the egg into the beef, this makes the beef SO tender. EXTRA bonus points because the server brought me his own sauce concoction, which was soo sweet of him.
And they even do grilled skewers in their outdoor patio.
Thanks for reading! ^-^

I went there with my friends. We ordered the regular Chinese hot pot dishes, and the price on the website was around $120. However, the restaurant charged us an additional $20 in tax and $20 for tips. I didn’t quite understand how that worked, because I thought tips were supposed to be optional and discussed with customers first. In the end, it turned out to be quite expensive.
As a Sichuan native and a lifelong hot pot lover, I think the food was okay but not particularly impressive to me. That said, the staff were very friendly, and the atmosphere and overall environment were clean, tidy, and welcoming.

A surprisingly good Chinese hotpot experience, excelling in variety, quality, and not as salty or sweet as some Americanized places. Would recommend for anyone looking for variety of dishes and an immersive experience with a dine-in hotpot setting!

Spicy, sizzling, and full of flavor Chong Qing Yao Mei is the spot for hot pot lovers in Pasadena! We went with the Combo Soup Base (rich beef oil + comforting bone broth) and loaded up on meats, seafood, and veggies. Don’t skip the sauce bar and the side bar for cold dishes + desserts ✨
We even tried the crispy fried chitlins And yes… they’ve got skewers + outdoor dining too!

Delicious and fun. You have traditional performance here at night time and the food is very authentic ( at least for Pasadena ). The BBQ is even better tasting than the professional BBQ restaurant.

The atmosphere alone is worth a visit—the retro 1930’s China decor makes the space feel immersive and unique.
The hot pot was amazing, rich, and full of depth, and the skewers were packed with bold flavor and spice. Everything tasted fresh and well-seasoned, and it’s the kind of meal you want to take your time with and enjoy.
If you’re into interactive dining, spicy food, and a fun vibe, this place is a must. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Pasadena.

Chong Qing Yao Mei is an amazing hotpot spot with rich and authentic Chongqing flavors. The spicy mala broth has the perfect balance of heat and numbing sensation without being overwhelming. It’s a great place to gather with friends and enjoy a fun, interactive meal.

I went here for the first time on a Tuesday night. They have a physical menu and an online menu. My friend and I ordered a bunch of thin slices of meat. Lamb and beef. We tried pig brain, I did not like it. My favorites were the lamb slices. I also tossed in a block of udon noodles into the broth. The combination of chewy udon with lamb was phenomenal. We also ordered plenty of vegetables but some of their names I don’t know. I let my friend mix in the sauces to make one whole sauce. It was a sweet sauce. The service was really good. They were always checking on us. The waitress was very helpful with our questions.

A super causal but fun place for friends. I ended up coming in for lunch and didn’t wait to be seated. The service was really quick and ordering via the QR code made things really convenient. The beef oil broth was spicy and delicious, I ended up opting for only the one since it was so good. I recommend the mushrooms and spicy beef. But you can’t go wrong!

I used to love this hot pot place and came back because I had such great memories from before. Unfortunately, this visit was a huge disappointment. They now charge around $6.99 per person just to access the sauce and salad bar—which I’ve never seen at any other hot pot restaurant. It felt ridiculous, especially since there wasn’t much to choose from.
There were also some basic issues with the experience: no tongs were provided for handling the raw meat, which is a hygiene concern, and the seats were creaky and uncomfortable. To make matters worse, one of my friends ended up getting food poisoning after eating here and was sick in bed for three days.
It’s really sad because I used to enjoy this place, but after this experience, I won’t be coming back.
P.s Honestly, I think Haidilao is a much better option in comparison.
