Reviews
The dinner for 5 came out over $200. I believe $37/person.
I like briskets but not many hot pots have them because they’re expensive or any other reasons. This place has a very special dish called steamed bacon which is very different, light, and delicious.
The veggies bar and seafood bar don’t have many choices like Shabuya in Milpitas or Seapot in Sunnyvale.
The meats are limited too, but it’s OK, the Korean miso soup I had wasn’t great, I had to make the soup myself with other ingredients.
The services are quite attentive and quick.
The place is clean and modern looking.
They do have appetizers like fried chicken and pot belly which my brother likes. I think the chicken in Shabuya better.
Anyhow, it’s a nice restaurant in a great park, a little walk over the bridge is the Irvine lake, quite beautiful at night with all the chairs and gazebos for family to sit and enjoy the air.
The food itself is fine, not great, not memorable, just okay. The atmosphere is also decent. It’s a nice-looking, cozy little restaurant. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end.
The service is consistently awful. Long waits, inattentive staff, and an overall feeling that customers are an inconvenience rather than the reason the place exists. Every visit felt disorganized and frustrating from start to finish.
The prices are outrageous for what you get. Nothing about the experience justifies the cost, especially when there are at least 10 other shabu places in the immediate area that offer better service, better value, and a smoother experience overall. None of them are perfect, but every single one is far more worth your time and money than this place.
At this point, I can confidently say I won’t be back. With so many better options nearby, there is simply no reason to choose dPot unless you enjoy overpaying for poor service.
I tried:
1. Wagyu beef, premium cuts, prime chuck top blade
2. Steamed meat stacker
3. Unlimited veggies and seafood
4. Appertizers: chicken karaage, fried pork belly fried dumplings
5. Drinks: coke, sparkling apple, sparkling yuzu
The buffet is always spotless and well-maintained, which I really appreciate. It’s also super family-friendly. I’ve been here with both large groups and smaller parties, and they’re always accommodating and welcoming.
The pricing feels very reasonable for the quality you’re getting. You can truly taste the difference — the meat quality is excellent. They also offer outdoor seating, and dogs are allowed on the patio, which is a huge plus.
It’s consistently delicious every time I visit. I’ll definitely be coming back anytime I’m in Irvine!
