Pretty cool concept of paying by weight. It’s $3.69 per 100grams which is 0.22lbs. You grab a bowl and tongs. Then start at the first station and work your way through. They have meat, seafood, veggies and noodles.

When you pay, the bowl is weighed and you pick any of the 10 broth choices. You can also purchase drinks from the tea station menu.

Your bowl goes to the chef, you can watch him through the glass window. He’s cooking up the ingredients in your broth of choice and then it gets delivered to your table.

During their happy hour, you get 1 free drink from the 6 choices. I’m not sure what promo they had but we went at noon on LNY and got to pick a free drink from two of the premade choices.

For the free drink, we got grape lemonade. For the hot pot broth, we got mushroom broth. We wanted tomato base but they sold out. Hard to believe when it was only one hour into opening.

The mushroom broth was a bit salty. I wanted to dilute it with water but that would cool the entire pot. There’s a DIY sauce station. Afterwards, don’t forget to leave without getting your free ice cream. If you eat there, it’s a cone, we got it on the go and got
popsicles.

Overall, I really like this concept and we were able to share pots. If you dine here often, they have membership points to redeem prizes.

I had a great experience at Big Way Hot Pot in Monterey Park! I love that you can choose exactly what ingredients you want — everything was fresh and delicious. The pricing is very affordable, and the servers were friendly and helpful. I came on a Saturday around 3pm and there was no wait at all. Plus, free parking is a huge bonus. Highly recommend if you’re craving hot pot!

I come here almost weekly and I have been enjoying this place since it was opened. I liked the variety of food they have and then I really like the Sacha broth. The free ice cream after the meal is always a bonus and they always give out free drinks which is nice. Checking out can be a little bit slow here and it’s always a bottleneck because sometimes they only have one cashier working but the other good parts outweigh this so I always come back. But today I noticed my meal is more expensive than usually because I usually just get the same thing every week. I was so confused and then I realized they changed the price. I found it a bit sneaky that they were doing it the unit of 100g instead of lb so you can’t convert it quickly at the spot. And the price is next to the cashier so I didn’t even notice until I checked out. By the way, it’s roughly a 20% increase. It used to cost $13.99/lb which is not cheap by any means but I guess still reasonable and suddenly it became ~ $16.74/lb which is pretty expensive even for LA. And of course, finding out with a surprise it’s not a pleasant experience either. I think because of that I might have to reduce my visit here.

Build your own bowl concept. There was no sign indicating the price but they charge by weight. Food was prepared well. Sauce area was messy and needed to be cleaned. They don’t mention it unless you ask, so ask for free ice cream cone for dessert.

Semi-buffet cook to order kind of hot pot place. Very interesting and unique! They don’t have chicken meat or salmon on Friday night when we tried this place for the first time. We were told that “guess the pound game with free meal deal” was not available on Friday. Really?? The promotion flyer did not list the day or time the game would be available though.

Free ice cream.lots of variety food by weight. Spices. Water. Liked this place a lot.
To be able to select what you want and pick broth is nice. It’s got that Mongolian BBQ feel to it.

All my friends know that I am the biggest Big Way fan there is. So when I got the email that this new location was open in Monterey Park, I literally could not contain my excitement. I told my group chats immediately. This location is both closer to me and is in the center of Atlantic Times Square. So you can literally watch a movie at the theaters, eat hot pot, and then still get boba afterwards at Heytea granted that it’s not closed yet. As for the hot pot ingredients, it’s just as fresh as the Rowland Heights location. The inside isn’t as large as Rowland, but it’s still more than adequate seating for a space like this. Great broth, great ingredients, great sauce bar. Oh, and speaking of boba, they literally serve boba milk tea and other drinks on the menu, so you can literally have it with your hot pot. The service is amazing as always. The staff is so caring too, they constantly replace your water pitcher if they see it’s getting low and even give you extra napkins. It’s little things like that that make every visit special. Special shout out to Paul and the other servers as well. They did excellent for a first day soft opening. I’m ashamed to say I will be coming here very often and will be recommending everybody to come here for their hot pot cravings!

Another day, another build your own hotpot joint.

Pick your own ingredients + broth and the kitchen handles the cooking. There’s no upcharges per se, you pay by the weight of your food.

Not sure why the reviews are shy about showing the price, but its $3.7 for 100g, or about $16.72 per pound.

Delicious pot based on weight and good variety for the sauce bar! I love the soft serve that they serve at the end. They are generous with it if you want two. (Trust me you’ll want two.)

What impressed me most was the incredible variety of ingredients and soup bases. The vegetable section has over a dozen types of fresh greens. For meatballs, there’s everything from standard fish balls to cheese-filled ones and crab roe balls. The meat choices are plentiful too, with options like beef slices, lamb rolls, and pork belly. And they have four or five kinds of noodles, including instant noodles, glass noodles, udon, and sweet potato noodles. There’s truly something to satisfy every taste.

The soup bases are the real highlight! Besides the classic original bone broth and spicy broth, they also have unique options like tomato, cabbage, and miso broth. I ordered the tomato broth—it was perfectly tangy and sweet, very appetizing. My friend got the spicy broth and said it was aromatic, rich, and had a great lingering flavor. They also provide a free sauce bar with minced garlic, cilantro, chopped scallions, crushed peanuts, and more, so you can mix your own perfect dipping sauce.

The biggest surprise? Free ice cream! After a steaming hot bowl of Malatang, grabbing a scoop of ice cream for that hot-cold contrast is pure bliss. It’s vanilla flavored and surprisingly creamy—you’d never guess it was free.

The prices are very reasonable too. You can easily get a filling meal for 20-30usd. The place is clean and tidy, and the staff are friendly. I’ve already recommended it to my friends and will definitely be coming back!
