Love this place! Ate there when they first opened, it was good then but I could tell they were still working out the kinks. Since then, I could tell they've greatly improved and over the past week, decided to eat there twice! Great hot pots with fresh ingredients, great service and good ambience. Been waiting for a spot like this to open up in Placentia and grateful it's up to par with many of the better establishments around here. Support your local businesses!

Husband ordered the steak rare because he knew it would continue cooking as it was sitting on the table on the lava stone. I made the mistake of ordering the house special flaming hot not realizing it was way spicier than expected - it reminded me of the days I would have spicy fights with my exes. Lesson learned! Will be ordering a different spice level next time.

LOVE THIS PLACE. idk why we haven't eaten here sooner! We got the House Special and I guess it was happy hour or something bc it came with free tea drinks and the server made it from scratch. That's so cool to me for some reason. Anyway, the House Special had everything I needed: Fish and meat balls Thinly sliced beef Shrimp 2 big shrimps that were super fresh Even the instant ramen noodles was GIVING PLS come here. The server was also so sweet!

It took a long time for us to be seated but we started to understand because there was only one server serving the whole restaurant. We felt bad for him to even ask for water because he was trying his very best covering three to four tables at the same time without losing a smile. The restaurant looked clean until we were walking on a sticky floor on our way to the seat and out of the restaurant. Other than that, it has a cool neon sign and lights on the wall that enhances the mood. The house special hot pot was great with lots of different ingredients. You have a choice of either rice or vermicelli so I chose rice. There are also four spicy levels that you can choose so I chose hot because I have high tolerance but it felt like Red Flame, which is super spicy. The ribeye steak on the other hand was not that impressive. It had more fat than meat and the sides, which I ordered vegetables and mashes potatoes were very bland that I had to ask for salt and pepper. Also, the vegetables were only broccoli. Lastly, the Red Flame Milk Tea wasn't that special. Before you drink, you need to mix it well or else it tastes very sweet and warm.

The food was delicious, and we loved the thai tea boba. Our server was very nice. The place is nice and clean. I like that our Boba drinks were free before 5pm. Next time I come back I want to try one of the hot pots.

I was craving something comforting to eat on a cold Sunday afternoon. Took my daughter and my husband here because I had this place bookmarked for quite some time. I usually go to Boiling Point in Irvine but today I didn't want to make the drive. So happy we came here! The food was delicious! Each of us ordered our own hot pot with our own customizations. I ordered the Beef Pot with Flaming Hot spice level. It did not disappoint! The food was delicious, the portions abundant, and it had the perfect buildable amount of spice! The best part was they offered free boba drinks for a purchase of any entree! If I had to nit pick about anything, I thought the beef was a bit on the tougher side. Other than that, it was a perfect meal. Price wise I thought it was a bargain and the portions are slightly larger than Boiling Point's portions. I highly recommend trying this place if you're ever craving hot pot!

There was dark black hair in our egg roll. The people at the front acted like it had happened before.

Crazy good deal! We got hot pot plus free boba drinks included with our purchase. The broth was delicious and the restaurant was clean. The staff was attentive and friendly, we had broth added twice. Definitely recommend!

This is my favorite local hot pot restaurant. Their beef hot pot (flaming mild) with vermicelli is my go to and it never fails to satisfy. Their pricing is reasonable in comparison to many hot pot locations I have been to before, both portion wise and quality as well (all pots are $15.95 for 1). For large parties who may not all love hot pot, there are many other options such as ramen, pho, steak, and curry. There is a wide variety of foods to choose from on their menu! I definitely recommend checking this place out. :)
The hot pot was very flavorful and the portion was generous. I thought the portion looked small when it arrived but it was very filling. The service was friendly and attentive. Free boba from 11-5 with your entree, great deal!

I food this spot when I was in oc headed back home . I was warmly greeted by owner & waiter . The décor & ambiance is amazing and setting of booths & tables with a huge parking lot . Food quality & set menu and overall custom service was phenomenal I can't wait to try something else when I'm in that area again. This is a cool spot w/ great food and multiple locations .

The food was decent and they have a free boba deal before 5PM. My only gripe was our server was a bit unapproachable and not friendly.
