We came for lunch one year ago and this time came for dinner. Both instances, we made reservations on Open Table. It gets crowded.

Unhappy with the price, food and service. I mean $34 for soup?? On top of it they automatically add 18% service charge and an option to add more tip. Service charge when you’re doing half the work. You have to get up and get the other ingredients. And no one checked on us if we needed more drinks. Our little bowls were still full when the waiter offered to bring our check 65 minutes after we sat at the table. I thought it was 90 minutes, why were we bring rushed? Also the amounts of the optional tip on the check changes after the handed me the receipt (see photo). You need to check the calculation on the first one. Anyway, I’m not going back.

Finally got to try this AYCE hotpot spot that everyone talks about. First all, this place is so much better than Shabumi on balboa ave. This place definitely much cleaner with better quality of food. We made a reservation and was seated on time. We got some fresh veggies and fishballs then off we start. Sukiyaki and tonkatsu broths were tasty. Sukiyaki broth is quite sweet so if you like sweet broth. You can’t go wrong on tonkatsu broth. Meats were fresh, great selections of veggies, and delicious teas to choose from. Jasmine milk tea is my favorite.

I love a good all you can eat experience for hot pot! The curry taste amazing and reminded me of a cute little buffet in Osaka. All of the meats were a very high quality and service was wonderful. Manager Dan popped by to make sure that we were having a great time! If you like hot pot or buffets or both… You have got to come by. All you can drink crystal boba and jelly milk tea as well! I appreciated that the business automatically adds in 18% service charge to take care of their staff. I’m a huge fan of paying fair wages to service employees instead of hoping some kind customers would add a few additional dollars of tip out of the generosity of their heart. My rule of thumb for tipping is usually 20% or more at a restaurant anyway, so the 18% is definitely reasonable.

First off, I want to commend the staff at Mo-Mo-Paradise for being very nice and attentive. However, I must say that my dining experience was not as good as I had hoped. I visited the restaurant a couple of years ago when it first opened, and I was disappointed to find that the broth was not salty and the selection of ingredients was limited. I recently visited the restaurant for the second time, hoping that things would have improved, but unfortunately, they have not.

Can I give this place 10 times 5 stars?! I am a thousand percent satisfied with the experience here. My husband was not really happy with the waiting time at the beginning, because we had a reservation, but still got to wait about 20 minutes for the table. I’m fine with that, since I understand that right now every restaurant needs more people to work. But I have to say, my husband is sooooooo happy about the food and agree to give a full 5 star after we finish dinner. I tried Sukiyaki in Asia – Tokyo and Shanghai before. I will say MOMO PARADISE is as good as my previous experiences in Asia. I highly recommend Sukiyaki with raw egg, that’s how we eat it, and if you would like to try the authentic experience, you should do that. About the meat, my fav is the beef short plate, which is very marble and fatty meats, so yummmm. My husband fav is the pork shoulder. I mean it’s really depends how you like the meats. They all very good. And my husband is happy with the drinks too, their liquor price is really amazing. Also I’m happy with the cocktails as well. Oh, in the end, don’t forget the super delicious ice creams.

What can I say, this was excellent!!! Fantastic hot pot options, unlimited drinks, unlimited veggie and side options, and unlimited meat. The chuck eye and short plate were so yummy and we enjoyed having sukiyaki and shabu shabu, as the pot they give you is split in half. Fantastic customer service. Our waiter, Grey, was attentive and super friendly. Clean atmosphere. I was most impressed by the bathroom. Very clean, high ply toilet paper, and automated, clean, serene sink. Will be coming back again for sure 🙂 miss the bathroom already

Made a reservation for 7:30, arrived early and were seated right away. First time trying this style of dining; it was delicious and a fun way to dine out as a family. So. Good.

It’s a bit expensive here but the kimchi and sukiyaki broth are good. The cuts of the meat are high quality and the available vegetables are also good. I wish there was more options for the sauce like chopped garlic. The beef curry and rice are good.
