I never tried sukiyaki before until this, mostly out of curiosity — and lemme tell you it was BANGER ☝️☝️☝️

Their recommended broths of sukiyaki and tonkotsu was AMAZING (especially the sukiyaki) — a flavor I never tasted before until this and I’m obsessed lmao. This place is 10000000% going on my to-go places to eat for when I am craving sukiyaki

Also their bar is full of SO MUCH extra add-ons you can throw into the broth to cook (I mostly focused in just the meat this first time) — but I’m gonna be real, their curry was HEAVENLY and I’ve been dreaming about it every night since 100000/10 so much variety and you get SOOOO much for the price you pay — and I only had the regular, base menu for my first time.

I definitely will be looking forward to the wagyu menu next time my sukiyaki cravings hit and I visit

Staff was friendly and very quick! Though I did come on a weekday just before the night rush, so I was lucky to come without a reservation. But busier days at peak hours, I recommend reserving 100000% ahead of time!!!

Came here today, March 29 with my daughters. I thought I had reservation at 1pm and turned out I made a mistake and the reservation we had was for Mira Mesa location. But the young gentleman saw host at the front was very helpful and he found us a table because someone no showed. Food was great, love the salad, vegetables and condiments bar. Their self serve drink bar is also great with different selections of tea and topping options. Price is reasonable for the quality and amount of food.

I’ve been to Mo-Mo Paradise in Arcadia, so coming to this location felt pretty much the same. Make sure to have reservations or they’ll turn you away if they’re full, even if you walk in, hoping to take a spot of a canceled reservation. When we arrived for Saturday dinner at 7:30 pm, they were already turning away walk-ins. We waited about 10 minutes before we were seated.

Weekend dinner is $34.95 per person, with the option to add the unlimited drink garden for $2.55 extra. We got our go-to broths of shabu-shabu and tonkotsu (we found the dashi gets saltier as the meal progresses). We ordered our initial rounds of everything except the pork belly and chicken thigh, and then repeated orders for our favorites: the lean beef eye of round and the beef chuck eye. The meat pairs well with the curry and steamed rice offered by the vegetables and fish/meat balls in the farmer’s market area.

Favorite thing of the night was definitely the ice cream, which you can get as much as you want. We ordered a scoop of cookies and cream as well as the black cherry. Let me tell you, black cherry ice cream was SO GOOD and this was the only time I’ve ever had it! In all the times I’ve dined at Mo-Mo in Arcadia, never had they ever had black cherry. That alone would make me return to this location now.

They add an 18% service charge to every table, no matter your size. Plenty of parking in the plaza!

This is my second time coming here. I only know about this place bc my in-laws looove hot pot and Mo-Mo lol!

Parking: They’re located in a big plaza, so finding a spot is easy. Free parking lot.

Ambiance/Environment: We made reservations by directly calling them. We dined for a total of 13. The seats and tables were clean. They have a large space, so it’s good for groups of all sizes.

Service: We encountered many servers. They were all quick and efficient. The only time you’d interact with a server is to order more meat. Other than that, everything else is self serve.

Soups: I ordered the Tonkotsu and Shabu Shabu. I absolutely enjoyed my soups. Some of my cousins ordered the Sukiyaki. They thought it was really salty at first, but after pouring more water in the pot, it diluted it a bit.

Meats: We took advantage of all the meats. My favorite was the “Eye of Round” bc it’s more lean while my cousin’s favorite were the “Short Plate” and Pork.

Sides & sauces: They have a side bar and drink bar that is all self served. It’s not the most cleanliest bar – they were a lot of spills everywhere. This is where they also serve the Japanese curry and rice. Unfortunately, we did have to wait a while for the curry bc they ran out. And when it did come out, it was lukewarm. My favorite part was the self serving drinks with unlimited toppings & refills.

Desserts: We’ll always have room for ice cream! They offered three different flavors. This season they had vanilla, black cherry, and coffee. My favorite was the coffee!

Prices: The prices are definitely worth it. Everything was unlimited. Perfect for dinner on cold nights!

This is my family’s favorite spot for shabu shabu, and for good reason. The restaurant excels at what it does—serving high-quality meats, including four types of beef and two types of pork, along with flavorful broths, and attentive service. The sukiyaki with egg dipping sauce is my favorite, and they have a well-stocked vegetable bar, a tea bar (for an additional cost), and a delicious curry rice that my husband loves. I also appreciate the rotating ice cream flavors they offer for dessert!

Reservations are required, as they often book out and will turn away walk-ins. While it’s a bit pricier than other hotpot spots in the area, the quality and experience have always made it worth it, and I’ve never had a bad experience here.

I came here on the recommendation of a friend and had a very delicious meal. Luckily, I was able to seated right away without having to wait(at 11:45am). A friendly server explained how to use the hotpot and once the hotpot and meat were set up, I brought vegetables, fish balls, noodles, etc. from the salad bar. You can put it in and eat it. There is curry in the salad bar, and I enjoyed it. The sauce called taberu rayu was especially delicious. It was really good to put a lot of sesame seeds and green onions on top of the sauce and eat it with meat and rice. I ate at lunchtime and tried 4 types of meat. Among them, the beef short plate was the most delicious. If you want to sit in an additional booth seat, it would be a good idea to make a reservation in advance and keep in mind that an 18% tip is automatically added.

All you can eat hot pot with high quality meats. They have a large selection of in-house drinks as well. Price is on the higher end with 18% tip automatically applied.

While the quality of the meat still remains high, feel like the variety of meats have decreased from when I went few years ago. Their beef belly and udon salad are my favorites. Wish they had a larger sauce bar.

It tends to get pretty crowded here, so reservation is needed on weekends. Ambiance can be loud due to the people. Service can be slow or forgotten sometimes.

Do not recommend this restaurant! ! ! First of all, the service is very poor. Their reservation system is useless. I made a reservation at the open table for 19:45 and arrived at 19:30 to complete the check-in. However, I still waited for more than half an hour. It started from 19:45. After waiting for more than half an hour, I was very angry! I was dropped into the queue of guests without a reservation. Terrible management! There were very few waiters. They did not take away the empty plates or add soup to our pots. They ignored us until our pots were almost dry. In the end, we added water ourselves. I don’t understand their service. How can you have the nerve to charge service fees from guests? They also openly charge guests an 18% service fee. I don’t know why an AYCE restaurant needs to charge a mandatory service fee. This is really disgusting, and their service is very poor! Let’s talk about the dishes. The vegetables are quite fresh and replenished in a timely manner. The ice cream after the meal was well received. It is a very high-quality ice cream. But the meat is not so good. We ordered three kinds of beef. The problem is that the quality of the meat is average. There will be a lot of dirt left in the soup after cooking. The meat is also average and feels old, not very tender. Meat. Overall everything is poor, especially the service! Very poor service and the forced service charge is disgusting.

Had to edit this review! It was for the wrong hot pot spot! So sorry to confuse everyone!

Reservation at 7:45. Checked in at 7:30. Seated at 8:15. Yup! You’ll be waiting a bit even if you made a reservation!

We got seated and our servers voice was a bit soft so we didn’t hear everything. The service was very slow. Not sure if they were understaffed or what but we waited for our tea + meats for a good 15+ minutes. We would remind them as they walk by.

Sauce: peanut seems to be their main sauce! If you’re allergic. Please ask them about their dishes etc! They do have other sauces but not a huge variety

Toppings: expect hotpot toppings! Mushroom, veggies, They do have ramen + udon as well! They have eggs! Ask them and they’ll hand you a raw egg to crack into your soup.

Drinks: I heard it didn’t cost money previously but now it does! It’s $2+. Wish their drinks were also unlimited like before though! I really wanted to try it out. Water and green tea is free!

Soup base:
1. Tonkatsu – it’s how you’d expect it!
2. Tomato – tomato flavor! There’s even bits of tomato in it
3. Shoyu – they give you water to add in. If you don’t add it in, it’s going to be very salty!
4. Shabu – mainly water – not a lot of flavor

Desserts: I’ve cream! Each person can pick up to 3 flavors. We only have 3 flavors to pick from. Vanilla, strawberry, cappuccino.

Parking: it’s a plaza so you won’t have trouble finding this spot!

AYCE hot pot and boba??? Don’t walk… but RUN to this restaurant! It’s possibly my new favorite lunch spot for shabu shabu. The time limit is perfect and leaves you feeling very satisfied. Despite everything being all you can eat and drink, I actually didn’t feel overly stuffed or gross after!

There is seriously so much variety! It’s not only hot pot, but there’s good quality Japanese curry and salads too. I was seriously blown away by the quality of everything. All of the vegetables seemed fresh and the beef was beautifully marbled. Although very fatty, I highly recommend the Beef Short Plate!

The All You Can Drink actually really impressed me too! My favorites were the Jasmine Milk Tea and the Passionfruit Green Tea. Very fragrant and addicting! Good quality tea!!! I don’t recommend the Oolong Tea though… very watered down.

If you’re still in need of some dessert after 90 minutes of AYCE… they also offer very unique ice cream flavors to finish off your meal! I recommend the Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream.

The only thing that really fell short for me was the Sukiyaki broth. It would grow seriously SALTY the more I would drink the broth. I would have to ask for water to dilute it as time passed. I think I’ll try a different broth next time.
