Great budget-friendly option for hot pot. I went around 8:30PM on a weekday and there was no wait at all. Their ordering process is a bit different. They have you create a ticket and scan a QR code to order online. Once you place the order, you go up to the cashier and pay. Note that they do not take card, only cash or zelle!

There are few seats. The hot pot is just okay. They do not take card, so you need to bring cash or use Zelle.

This is a 4/4.5 star place for me. We love hot pot but this is different from the AYCE joints all over the place. You pick the size of bowl you want, the style/type of stuff you want inside and a burner with your pot full of good stuff comes before you. If you have a large group, be patient as this is a small location and can’t accommodate many large groups. I’d say 30 max if they jam everyone in. For a small place like this they probably would like to keep things moving as efficiently as possible and turn the tables over.

California Hot Pot is a nice hotpot restaurant. The food tastes great, especially the soup. I recommend ordering the Upgrade package and not adding sides before you look at how much food is to be served. The wait was quite long during weekend. The staffs are very nice and super helpful. Parking is available on the streets and or adjacent to the resto. Down side is CASH ONLY. So, I had to register my name first and went to the bank to get some cash and came back. Restroom is clean. You pay first before you eat.

Hotpot is delicious! Portion is adequate. Comparable to Boiling Point but less expensive. Menu is pre-Covid pricing….more bang for the buck. . There are 4 price options: mini, regular, upgrade (quality meat), and premium (highest quality meat). Regular or higher option comes with free beverage. Premium include ice cream, and all you can eat rice or noodles. This establishment could use extra help. Food took a bit long to serve. Condiments, sauces, and beverages are self-serve. There’s parking adjacent to the building. Cash only.

Very few seating locations, so wait time can be very long. The service was dealing with it as best as they can, but we ended up having to wait for an hour outside.

This place is popular so please put your name on the list immediately. Once seated, you’re given the menu that allows plenty of customization. Step 1 is to select quality, 2- style & flavor. Be aware you can interchange the protein with the different broths. 3 – spice level, and then drink. I liked that they all include a drink which is self serviced. Great variety in the sauce station. This place is great for value and service. Highly recommend!

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.

With so many hotpot places in the area, it takes a lot to stay competitive. It’s good that this place offers 3 price levels for those who are on a budget versus those who want to splurge a bit. I got the hollywood protein upgrade and my friend got the Japanese tonkatsu spicy regular. I tasted her broth and it wasn’t as spicy and portions were a lot for a regular size. For a Saturday, there were people waiting at least 15 minutes before the restaurant opened and at least 5 parties waiting 30 minutes after it opened. My friend and I chose to sit outside so we didn’t have to wait. It was doable especially with the hot broth. It did get cold at the end of our luncheon. The place had 2 heaters that they brought outside but it was not used. Not sure if it was broken or the staff didn’t want to set it up for only 2 customers. The staff was nice and checked on us a few times after we got our orders. The broth was on the blander side for me but I think I would give this place another chance by trying a different broth and spicy level. Overall, my experience was pleasant.
