    Great addition to the hot pot craze in the 626. It's definitely different from the other hot pot places in the area because everything comes raw in your pot. Unlike boiling point, this place has different flavored soup bases and I'm sure you're able to customize it. I ordered their Thai Tom Yum "upgrade" with their Peach Sunshine Green Tea. The soup has just the right amount of spicy and sour. The shrimp they give are indeed jumbo shrimp scampi. What I wish they did was devein the shrimps because it's a black lining on the shrimp that makes it look gross.
    You're only limited to certain sauces, which is located by their cash register. If I remember correctly, there was garlic, sesame, black bean, soy sauce and green onions. The next time I'm here, I'll have to give their tonkotsu a try because I was actually craving beef but got seafood instead. I did get to try my friends beef and it was amazing. Cooking it raw and eating it however you like it is indeed better than having it precooked and tasting overcooked.

    Tip: get there early to wait in line because it can take a while to be seated.

    Place is to small and cramped, 5 people seated in a table meant for max 4 people. Barely have room for the drinks and sauce plate. Soup was bit on the salty side and the shrimp was not clean thoroughly.

    Shrimp was sliced at top but was not clean and you can see the poop vain and to top it off towards the end of my meal found small bug that normally found in lettuce floating in soup.

    So compared to other hot pot place it is so so. Only good was they have different price point for those on a budget.

    Small pot is under 10.00 come with 2 option of drinks

    The service and the food was so amazing! Such great price and quality of food. Highly recommended. $10 hotpot with a drink was enough for 2 meals :)

    Best hot pot place in Alhambra. I always the protein pack style hot pot. really good, mixed with vegetables. They also have free drinks. Prices are good. Portions are big and can be finished when really hungry. Drinks were ok. They do only accept cash. Parking is on the side. It does get busy sometimes and tables get filled up real quick.

    Amazing yummy hot pots with amazing selection! They use only quality bone broth and fresh ingredients. You won’t find MSG here! Gelatinous broth is better than watery broth. Even their milk tea doesn’t have the powder creamer, which is why it tastes very light compared to other milk teas.

    Cash only!
