Good service, fair price, warm environment. I am happy to be here today to enjoy spicy Chinese hotpot. Side dish and dessert are great. I enjoy all of them. Definite a come back place.

We visited this spot for Thursday lunch and were seated immediately. Having been to the Rowland Heights branch, we hesitated to come here since it’s not AYCE. Instead, everything is ordered à la carte, including the broth and sauce bar, which come at an additional cost. However, my father-in-law has high standards for authentic Sichuan hot pot, which is why we decided to come back.
Their menu offers a variety of specialty hot pot ingredients that you won’t easily find elsewhere, such as pork blood, pork kidney, goose intestines, etc. We opted for the traditional spicy soup base (which was SPICY even at the mild level) and the bone broth, which was an absolute 10/10. The portion sizes were generous, and we all left feeling satisfied. To top it off, the brown sugar dessert was simply *chef’s kiss*!
Service was excellent, though it’s hard to say whether that was due to the restaurant being fairly empty on a weekday. Regardless, I’d definitely return when craving a quality Chinese hot pot experience!

Came on Xmas, very busy. Server kind of forgot about us for the most part, no refills on water, had to flag someone down for every little thing.
Orders were sometimes delivered promptly, sometimes completely forgotten. The table next to us ordered fried rice 4 times and got it once and had to contest their bill.
Food portions were relatively good for the price. Quality was decent, but that service, mmmm. Asked for to go containers and only got enough for half our leftovers.

The new hotpot place in Irvine. We went on a weekday around 6pm. There was no line. We got a table when we walked in but we saw there were already many people inside the restaurant.
The server was very friendly and explain to us how the system work. We ordered our soup and dishes. The soup came out very quick. While waiting for the dishes, we went to the snack bar and sauce bar. We find there was not as many selections as at HDL and no labels on many of the sauces and items at the bar. We were guessing by looking at the color and texture.
The soup took a while to boil. The dishes came out before the soup boiled. We tasted the tomato soup and found it to a bit bland compared to HDL.
The vegetables are fresh and very delicious. I love the sauce that I mixed for myself. There are only 2 types of tofu that come with he tofu combo. I was hoping they include some deep fried tofu skin in the combo but none. The mushroom combo has more combination of different t Mushrooms. The hotpot noodle is OK only. I still prefer the noodles at HDL. According to my son, the beef belly and tilapia were fresh and delicious.
At the end of our meal, the sesame balls were out and I had to wait for a one time for them to bring out a new batch. The receipt only has Chinese text on it. Non-Chinese reader may not able to check if the items on the receipt were what they have ordered.
Overall, I would prefer HDL to this place. Soup is better there and more selection at the snack/sauce bar.

If your into the medicinal hot pot than this is the place. They have the spicy Szechuan peppercorn broth, that broth is spicy ️. The selection of meats and fish are great. You build your own sauce, so put everything in it. You can basically put everything in and still can’t go wrong. They also have a little desert bar for you at the end to freshen up the palate and breath. They even have tooth brush and other hygiene items for you in the restroom. Nice touch.

I discovered this place randomly at lunch on the weekend 2 weeks ago and I was so happy that I found this place. The wait for 2 people on a Sunday lunch was 15′ which was not bad and all the servers can speak English very well and they were friendly and professional. As for myself during the pandemic, I became very sensitive to the cleansiness so whenever I eat out if I always observe how the tables are cleaned after each customer and this place did not disappoint me. I saw 2 waiters cleaning the table and chairs very carefully. Hopefully, they will be careful like this forever, not only when they just opened.
The decorations are nice and very ancient in Chinese style. I’ve ordered 1/2 pork bone soup n 1/2 tomato soup and both of them were very tasty. The quality and quantity of food were amazing with reasonable prices. I got more food than I expected. Their sauce bar has so many kinds of sauces plus some additional crunchy things that I didn’t know but it tasted good and they also have a few kinds of dessert for you to choose from. Overall I was very happy with this place, definitely will be back.
*** Here is one thing I hope they can fix, the receipt should be include English for people who don’t know Chinese. It would help people check whether an extra item was added or an item was missing before payin. I was struggling to check it with my little Chinese language experience.

Tried out this place in Irvine. Called ahead and they don’t take reservations and was told it can get busy. Their English was not good on the phone. Anyways showed up anyways at 6:30pm on a Sunday evening as a party of 6 and no wait. We had an amazing hot pot meal. I like a la crate ordering for hot pot since you get what you order. Great sauce selection and a decent amount of Chinese snacks.

This place is really good. It feels very authentic. The service and food were .
If you’ve never been before, you’ll get seated and you’ll fill out this scantron of what you want to order.
The soup comes with a white broth and spicy brown broth. For the spice level, I’d go with medium unless you have had it before. See, my cousins and I eat very spicy, but the medium is overly spicy and you can’t taste anything else except your mouth being on fire. There is chili oil and peppercorns so BEWARE if you think I’m crazy. It seems that their broths and setup can comfortably feed 4 hungry people. You should order beef belly, glass noodles and hand-pulled noodles, and the veggie basket. But then the quail eggs and fish balls were so good too. Again 4 or 5 people can be fed well. For 3 people, we struggled.
They have quite the “bar” for sauces and SNACKS! Our favorite snacks were these Asian Bugles, crunchy peas, and crispy seafood chips. There is also dessert! The jelly and purple rice porridge were so good and perfectly sweet. I’d have eaten the entire bowl of porridge, but I was so full already.
The furniture and setup is very cute and cultural. It’s quite nice.

Great service and great quality meat, fresh crisp veggies.
The servers were very friendly and attentive; they helped make suggestions on ordering quantity, helped cook some meat, and made the dining experience enjoyable.
The new item we tried tonight was the thousand-year egg with fresh shrimp paste; the server came to the tableside, mixed it for us, and then helped cook it. We have always liked the fresh paste, and this new creation was quite interesting and tasted pretty delicious. For the soup base, we had the duo pot with bone soup and a mild spicy soup, but even with the mild, it was still too spicy for us 🙂 Lesson learned.
