This is me and my partners favorite date spot! The selection is great for the price and the employees are super kind. Everytime we leave we talk about how we can't wait to go again lol My only complaint is that the portions seem to be getting a little smaller, but due to inflation it is completely understandable. The food is so good it makes it all worth it, can't wait to go again!
My mom has brought me here 4 times over the holiday break alone and it has never disappointed! Quality hot pot for single pringles that doesn't break the bank. Starch, protein, various hotpot ingredients, and condiments all included (some with an upcharge, but even their free options are great). Huge fan of their fresh beef and lamb offered as proteins. Also some solid appetizers as well (squid & fries were nice and crisp). The owners are very sweet with the wife working the front and making sure you have everything for a great meal while the husband takes care of the kitchen making delicious food A very simple atmosphere with cute wall decorations and Asian pop music playing. Always nice to have new options in Diamond Bar and one I would strongly recommend on a cold day.
Great local hotspot in DB! Price is decent and you get a good amount of food. The soup bases were delicious and very flavorful. But I found my miso a little on the salty side. Especially after having it cook for a while. I couldn't enjoy the soup since it was a little too much sodium for my liking. Con: they have scallions but it would have to be one of your options for a condiments. Most places would give it to you complimentary. Service was great: we went while it still had some empty tables but quickly filled up and there was a line. The server was by herself. We could tell she was busy but we didn't feel neglected or anything. Clean spot and lots of space!
I have been wanting to try this place. Right from the beginning, the establishment looked clean and fun to try. We sat down and were presented with a menu where we could choose different varieties of broth and other vegetables and meat to add to the pot. My daughter and I shared a pot, and it was satisfactory for us. We also shared an order of fried oysters. The oysters were super delicious and fresh, and it was a standout experience. The waitress was wonderful, and the whole experience was enjoyable and novel for us. I will definitely return to try the other three broth bases they offer.
What a quiet hidden gem!!! We drive by several times noticed the restaurant sign. Decided to come here tonight on a cold drizzly night. Only one table of customers. Server explained to us how the ordering works. We filled out our choices on the meat, side dishes items, spicy level, soup base. Food came out quick. I have the miso soup base with mild spicy level, 6 items of stuff and shallot sauce and satay sauce. I appreciate the fact that there's good amount of lamb meat. Everything is so delicious together. Mine came up to be $17. I think with how everything cost at the restaurant, this is not too bad. We would be happy to come back again and bring family and friends. Place is bright and clean.
Great place for soothing hot pot. A paper sheet with broth, toppings, and protein are given as the menu. You check off a specific amount of items based on the size of the selected hot pot. The miso broth was savory with umami flavor. I will probably always opt for this broth at my next visit. The items selected are given separately from the broth so cooking time tends to be a little bit longer. On another note, I'm not sure if they provide broth refills like typical hot pot restaurants. Meat and ingredient quality was very fresh. I was very impressed with the beef, they were nicely sliced with a good fat to meat ratio. Service was quick and kind! Coming back to satisfy hot pot cravings whenever I'm in the area.
I found this hot pot place on Yelp and it's like a hidden gem in Diamond Bar. We felt a little skeptical of the location because it's located in an old plaza next to the bowling "Oak Tree Lanes" and it was so quiet on the weekend. It's so cozy inside. They have curtains as dividers for privacy in between tables. When we entered the hot pot place, it was pretty empty inside. The server was very friendly and helpful and asked us if it was our first time. I like their idea for creating your solo hot pot. Step 1: you need to choose your soup base, we picked yellow curry, kimchi, and classic dashi. (note: only Dashi with $0 charge, other soup base charge additional $2.99-$4.99) Our yellow curry and kimchi both charge $3.99 each additional. Step 2: you choose your spicy level Step 3: Choose a combo 1 Protein + 6 Ingredients + 1 Starch + 2 Condiments +$13.99 or 1 Protein + 9 Ingredients + 1 Starch + 2 Condiments +$15.99 lastly, choose your protein, ingredients, a starch and condiments. We all chose Angus beef as our protein and the Angus beef was cut into thin slices. I liked my yellow curry soup base and it was not spicy. The kimchi one was a little spicy. Dashi soup base was less flavorful but some people may like it. For the ingredients, I liked tempura fish cake, HonShimeji Mushroom, rice cake, imitation crab meat, and stuffed Eel Fish Ball, etc. The rice was soft and the instant ramen was also yummy for the hotpot. Service was excellent- she was very polite, helpful, and attentive. Price- it was very reasonable and good price in the area for hotpot We will go back there again soon!
I found this on yelp and this definitely is a hidden gem! It's not too crowded on a weekday, I was able to walk in with plenty of tables open (they have maybe 10 tables total), though if they do get crowded looks like they have a yelp waitlist. The ordering is quite a bit different than that of other hotpot places. Everyone at the table is given their own paper menu that they get to select what soup base, meat, carb, side ingredients, and sauce they want. One notable thing about this spot is that the price is very reasonable, for 6 side items, 1 meat, and soup broth, it's only like $13.99 which is quite a bit cheaper than other hotpot places. Taste wise, everything was fresh, especially the meat and the soups were good. There is too many ingredients to choose from but here are some of the notable ones that I enjoyed. Tom Yum Soup - Little bit sour and overall good flavor. (4.5/5) Miso Soup - Waitress told us this was a top pick and I can see why, its delicious. (5/5) USDA Choice Beef - I selected the beef as the meat option and would recommend, it was pretty solid and got like 12-16 pieces, I didn't count but it seemed like a lot. (4.5/5) Sweet Potato Vermicelli - Would recommend this, it's like the noodle they put in japchae. No extra charge and delicious. (5/5) All ingredients I choose were good and you probably won't go wrong with any of them. Also I have to say the spiciest level they have is pretty spicy (was fine for me and they gave me a warning and admittedly it's pretty spicy, like a 9/10 spice). Personally, I believe the 6 ingredient set is enough for a meal, I was pretty full after eating. I would totally be back here to get my hotpot fix. Note - They give free barley tea with yelp check in (unlimited refills) Parking - Plenty in front, they share a big lot with nearby stores.
