Reviews
The marinated beef skewers are the best thing on the menu and hold the flavor of the broth much better than the plain sliced meats. Also, being able to do a three-way split pot is a lifesaver if you want to try the spicy house-made broth but still want a milder backup like the mushroom base.
Make sure to hit the appetizer section for the cold dishes while you wait for the broth to boil!
For the meats, we ordered #6 prime beef short rib, #7 wagyu beef top sirloin, and #10 chicken breast.
The chicken breast was actually the best among them.
For the soup base, I recommend the kimchi flavor. It wasn’t spicy at all and tasted really good.
One downside was the rice. It was too sticky with the grains stuck together.
The side bar had a wide variety of vegetables, fruits, and desserts, which was nice.
I also loved their sauce bar because you can customize your own sauces exactly how you like. One of the coolest parts was their fridge section where you can grab skewers with different meats and seafood, which made the experience more fun and let us try more variety.
They also have really good drinks, and the service was great. The price is such a good value for all-you-can-eat, especially for the quality you’re getting.
Definitely one of the best hot pot spots in Irvine. I will 100% be coming back.
We ordered all of the beef options from the menu and were impressed. The meats were super fresh, and the cuts had really nice marbling.
Service was also amazing. Our water was always full, and extra plates were cleared quickly without us needing to ask.
I loved the self-serve fridge setup. Having items like quail eggs on skewers is such a game changer, especially since they usually disappear at the bottom of the pot. They also have meats on skewers in the fridge, but I personally preferred the thinly sliced meats you order directly from the server.
They even have potato noodles, which are my favorite, along with other veggies and seafood. Everything felt clean, fresh, and well organized, and the space itself is modern and comfortable.
Overall, such a great hot pot spot and definitely worth checking out if you’re in Irvine!
The sauce station is clean and well organized, which I really appreciate. There’s also a drink area available for an additional charge. One of the highlights is the refrigerated display: all the ingredients are neatly arranged, fresh, and clean, making it easy and enjoyable to pick exactly what you want.
Service is another strong point here. Even though the place gets very busy, especially during dinner hours, the staff stay efficient, friendly, and well organized. Be prepared to wait during peak times, as it’s a popular spot and lines are common in the evening.
Overall, solid flavors, clean setup, and fast, friendly service. A very satisfying hot pot experience.
I chose a variety of meat cuts, and everything cooked fast and stayed tender. I like the skewer-style setup because it makes portioning easy and lets you try multiple ingredients in one visit. The broths soaked into the meats really well, making each bite satisfying.
The space is clean and modern, and the ordering process is straightforward and efficient. Overall, it is a solid hot pot option in Irvine if you want something warm, customizable, and easy to enjoy.
They give you three broth flavors to choose from (yes, three!), and the options do not disappoint. Pricing starts at $29.99 for lunch or $39.99 for dinner/holidays, and it’s all you can eat.
There’s a sauce bar, a cold food section, and a fridge full of skewers seasoned to perfection — plus all the veggies you could ever want. We came for dinner, which means we got to enjoy their premium items like lobster tails, scallops, frog legs, and abalones.
My favorites? The pork belly and beef slices — both melt-in-your-mouth tender. Let’s just say it turned into a full-on protein feast.
They’ve also got a good selection of desserts, but we splurged on the matcha shaved snow (not included in the AYCE price) — and honestly, it was 100% worth it.
If you’re looking for a cozy, flavorful hot pot spot in Irvine, this one’s a must-try! Also, service is top notch! They have the sweetest staff.
