“My partner and I were craving pseudo-healthy asian food and hadn't had hot pot in forever, so we checked this place out for the first time. It was great and will definitely be in our regular rotation going forward! We came later on a Monday, so the restaurant was relatively quiet and the service was attentive. The restaurant is relatively small with three "sections"--a lower bar (almost sushi bar style), a hightop bar, and then a back table for larger parties. The restaurant has a dedicated parking lot as well as ample street parking.We sat in the hightop bar. My only small complaint for the design is that the hot pots were relatively far away from the seating, so if you're short/short-armed it's a bit of a reach and I found myself standing up to grab my food from time to time. We ordered garlic edamame (would skip next time), seaweed salad, and we both got regular portions of the lean cut + an additional 6 oz portion that we split for soup leftovers. There are several great options for broth, the meat was great, veggies were fresh, and overall it really hit the spot! I did ask for soup base at the end of the meal (which I don't know it if would have been offered it I didn't ask), which was super delicious with the spicy broth I chose. The price was fair for the amount of food, but I do wish they offered smaller "add ons." All in all, solid meal and looking forward to coming back and trying different broths and meats.“
“Parking is really easy even on weekends. The restaurant is spacious and the staff is friendly. The menu has lots of different food options. This place is great to hang out with friends and family to catch up or meet up. Our party had a baby, they have high chairs and staff were very accommodating, we did not feel like a nuisance while dining here. When the baby was rowdy and there was a lobby area just a short walk away to calm the baby down with various Japanese decor.“
“This place is about as legit as it gets for me. I spent a bit of time in Japan lusting over the food and I was skeptical I could find the same attention to detail in the US but here it is (at least to my western taste buds). Every dish has character. It can get busy so don't expect walk ins to always work out, there is bar seating too if you want to come as a single and be comfortable. The servers are great as well. About 4 items is a full meal.“
“Wow what an amazing meal! This place a delightful, bare bones cook your own fine meat to your precise liking. Excellent customer service and soju and sake. We came here for a birthday, and will definitely be returning. I highly recommend this restaurant.“
“Thank you to our server "Shirley" it was our first time at a hot pot ever and she was great...chuckled when we asked for a fork. Lol ? it was a great experience and food kept coming to our table. We finished our food and broth, it was delicious. Took my chopsticks ? home to practice for next visit. Thank you "HAPPY SHEEP" in Torrance“
“Everyone gets the peking duck here! The duck is roasted well - crunchy skins, barely any fat remaining under the skin. The meat, as Shirley H. wrote in her review, is mild in flavor, different from the Cantonese version or the smoked tea duck that I prefer. I like that they use the traditional thin crepes for the dish; it's served along with the shredded cucumber, beets, and green onions. In addition, the duck order comes with a choice of a dish made with the bone - either soup with duck bones, tofu, and Napa cabbage, or deep fry salt & pepper duck bones. We opted for the soup, which came at the end of the meal, and offered a satisfying wrap to the meal. Pro-tip: pre-order the duck a day ahead!We ordered two additional dishes and together, these were perfect for our party of four:- rainbow skin: a cold noodle salad dish- stir fry eggplant and string beans All in all, a solid Beijing restaurant, decent prices too!“

“It was really delicious ? I wasn't expecting much from the shrimp, but the firmness of the shrimp and the flavor of the kelp exceeded my expectations! ! Everything was wonderful. The tongue was so soft and delicious. Even the salad dressing was delicious. The price shouldn't be compared to Japan, but it's worth it!March 2024For the first time in 3 years? I still had delicious yakitori. If you go with 5 people, is it already 18%? Please be careful as the chip was charged ?“
“I visited this restaurant for lunch over the weekend. It was quite busy, with many takeout orders being placed. I ordered the Spicy Basil Beef and Green Curry. Both dishes allowed the option to choose the level of spiciness, and I found that mild spicy was just right for me; the regular spicy was quite hot. Each dish was around $10, making it very affordable. The food was delicious, and I'm definitely planning to return.“
“Best to go there after fasting for several days...........even better deal for those on Medicare!! Recommend going with the Tonkotsu bone broth and pork belly/shoulder slices plus an ice cold mega mug of Sapporo........always outstanding service by Riley, Kenda and Cody.“
“All-you-can-eat ramen OR all-you-can-eat shabu, which would you choose??? I’m like the most indecisive person ever, so if you’re like me, luckily we don’t have to choose at Momo Paradise!I’ve probably been to the Rowland Heights location over 20 times, so that’s a testament to how much I love this place, even over the years!You can make your own bowl of ramen at the Farmer’s Market station with the freshest ingredients. Order your favorite cuts of high-quality meats with your server, my favorite is the Kurobuta pork shoulder. They were out of the Beef eye of round when we went.Not to mention there’s a build-your-own boba station AND unlimited beef curry rice that might be my favorite out of everything there!Thanks for reading! ^-^“
“first visitPerhaps thanks to the dreary weather, the hotpot menu was selected.Neat indoor atmosphereI ordered 1 and 4With medium spicinessThe taste isn't bad either.warm until the endIt was nice to be able to enjoy the food.The sauce is also unique.Without side dishes like Korean foodverySimply one pot!I was disappointed at first sight, butNod at the end“
“King's shabu shabu is a Japanese hotpot place that serves high quality meats cooked in a delicious broth. I have tried the tonkotsu and spicy miso broth, the tonkotsu is light on umami and has a milk like creaminess, a tonkotsu broth that you could completely gulp down. The spicy miso was savory, packed with flavor and intermediately spicy. It did not allow you to stop cooking your meat and ingredients in it. My friend says the beef was "really good!", and the glass noodles were a nice addition as well. With every hotpot you're given a bowl of with a variety of veggies, a choice of glass or udon noodle, and white rice or brown rice. I also enjoyed the service as it was attentive and respectful. Overall I enjoyed my experience at King's Shabu Shabu, and if I am looking for a more premium hotpot place, I would visit again.“
