So excited this place finally opened! Took my husband here for his birthday and the food was delicious, the service was great, and the prices are reasonable for today’s times. The hot pot broth was really tasty and they offer free refills. My husband ordered the ribeye on a hot plate and the meat was really flavorful even without the sauces. I got the house special and I’m looking forward to trying the other hot pots, which are big enough to share between 2 people, especially with add-ons and the free refills.
My experience:Pros: Boba and RamenCons: Steak and sidesThis is not a place for steak and sides. If you want good boba and ramen this is the place but if you want good steaks and sides this is not the place. I know it is a new restaurant, so this is just a heads up to anyone who is expecting a huge steak or good sides we experience day old mash potatoes and wet croutons on our salad. I would definitely recommend this place if you like ramen though, just don’t expect it to look like the picture. Mine came out a little messy but the taste was really good. Once again this is just my experience and this won’t prevent me from giving it another chance after they officially open.
It was a soft opening where they learn how to fine tune the logistics. Would I go again. No, sirloin was forgettable, husbands house hot pot was meh. Thou, we must support small business, so MAYBE Ill go again 1 more time in the far future
Newly opened restaurant serves delicious fusion Asian food, including hot stone steaks, hot pots and ramen. Will be our local favorite!
Loved the food and atmosphere! The staff was so great, will definitely be back soon!
Foid was a little too spicy for my palate but we had fun and attentive service.
Good, cheap food. Ordered Xtra spicy tonkotsu wasnt very spicy.
Love this place my favorite 😍

Great food and good prices
Nice
We started off ordering the hot oolong tea. While it tasted good, it was barely served like warm. The lychee lemonade with boba was tasty, but only had a couple of sips because the boba was disgusting. It was slimy, and very soft, as if it had been sitting in liquid all day. Ive posted a picture of the boba, and you can see the lemonade turned very murky next to the boba. My fiance ordered the specialty hot pot. While the broth was tasty, most of the other ingredients were not good. The shrimp was not cleaned, and still contained the poop. I ordered the garlic and steak noodles. The best thing about that dish was the salad. The noodles were dry, and the steak overcooked. We asked for the boba tea to be removed from the bill, and the waiter said it would take about 10 minutes for him to get in touch with a supervisor to see if it could be removed from the order. Thankfully, they did remove that charge. While the atmosphere was very nice at the restaurant, I dont see us returning.

2023-08-20 06:59:15This place stands out from others with fresher and more flavorful ingredients.While the dipping sauce might not be the most satisfying, the complimentary drinks make the whole experience worthwhile.Its practically the best Asian hot pot you can find in Southern California with pay less then $22 including tips.

2023-03-20 19:52:18A newly opened modern Asian restaurant in the area. It was clean and modern. Loved the overall atmosphere.We tried their personal hotpot (beef), everything was cooked and a little flame was placed underneath to keep things hot. It tasted great and we loved it.Their shrimp garlic noodle was delicious. It was garlic forward (which we loved) and the noodles were cooked pretty well.The lava stone steak was fun to try. It came with three steak sources and the presentation was nice. It was not too bad, but would prefer saving up a bit more to enjoy a steak in a steakhouse instead. Same for their mashed potatoes. Go with rice (or fries) for starch would be a safer choice. These were not their specialties.Next time, we would definitely go for the hotpot (and possibly ramen).

2023-03-30 19:07:42Nice and fun atmosphere. Steaks are good, but you have to eat them fast because it will keep cooking on the stone plate. The tonkotsu broth is not as rich as traditional broth but it is still very tasty. The eggs in the ramen are perfect.

2023-04-27 19:56:42I have been wanting to try this place. The sign says Hot Pots, Steaks,Ramen and Sizzling Rice. I actually wanted the Sizzling Rice but when I got the menu it wasn’t on there. I asked the waitress and she said that because they just opened 2 months ago they haven’t implemented it on the menu. Ok, I ask myself??? What’s so difficult about sizzling rice? Hot pot is a lot more involved. I ended up getting the Tonkatsu Ramen and wow! Super disappointing!!! Flavor was flat for Tonkatsu but was too salty. Ramen was soft and mushy and the eggs were super salty as well. They must bribe these soft boiled eggs. The waitress was nice but young and really didn’t respond well when I asked about the rice and when they were going to start cooking the sizzling rice. The restaurant is very clean but music was a little too loud. I was taking business calls while eating and had a hard time hearing the people on the other end of the call. I hope the owner takes this review as a positive and fixes what I think is broken in his new location. I hope they succeed but unless they make some changes, this place won’t last. I might come back in a few mo the and give them another shot! Good luck guys….

2023-07-04 16:54:00First time having hot pot and it was very good. I had been a bit intimidated to try hot pot at other places but the approach of premade personal hot pots was a great way to try it out. We also had the steak and it was very good.

2023-06-08 02:51:10Amazing hot pot with a very wide variety of options for a great price. The flaming hot is genuinely flaming hot, do not go for this level if you do not enjoy spicy foods but definitely start here if you do. Cant even imagine what the red flame level is like. We will definitely be back, especially because its right next to our gym.
