PiChaiYuan Hot Pot

Food was tasty and good price, but there was a caterpillar in my spinach!! Also found an aphid in the napa cabbage (I put it on the napkin). Some leaves of the spinach still had dirt. The cooks in the back need to wash the veggies better....

Best hot pot place in Roland. So much food and value. The staff was very kind and helpful. Special thanks to Elisa for the hospitality!

This is hands down the best hot pot restaurant in Los Angeles when it comes to value for money! First of all, the price is unbeatable—I usually go for the $29 per person Set B. The buffet has no hidden charges, which is a huge plus, and it includes all the sauces, snacks, and even some drinks. The quality of the meat is incredibly fresh, and the variety of ingredients is impressive. There are even 6-7 types of snacks available! Most importantly, the service is exceptional. Although they are a bit short-staffed and busy, they are incredibly generous with the meat and constantly check if you need more. Unlike other buffets where it takes forever to get more food, they are super efficient. A solid five stars—highly recommended! Don’t miss out!

The lunch price is very affordable, and after tax and tip, it’s only $22 for all-you-can-eat. The selection of vegetables and seafood in the freezer is incredibly plentiful, making it well worth the price, and the quality is great. Definitely worth a try!

The main saving point of this place is the price. Nowadays you can't find an AYCE hot pot place for $23 per person. The meat selection is pretty limited per tier (that's how they get you) but they don't charge extra for the sauce/snack bar. They provide two types of drinks, lemonade and passion fruit tea. The lemonade that night was really off, so do avoid it. The passion fruit tea is alright, reminds me of the ones you can buy at the Asian Grocery Markets. The meat looked pretty good and not too fatty. Even the lowest tier option provides decent cuts of meat so overall this place is an alright place to come eat. For people who only want a discount on their bill, giving them a 5* on yelp or Google reviews provides a 20% discount. So be wary of the short 5* reviews.

Exploring new places for hot pot and picked this one to try. The selections of vegetables and seafoods were abundant. It’s included with the meat choice of combo. From the basic to the waygu beef premium. Order your cuts of meat through the servers and the rest is at the cooler for your picking. Mix your own dipping sauce at one of the stations. They have small selection of dessert items, very basic, fried milk bun served with condensed milk. It was a bit dry since it was sitting out for quite sometime, the red bean filling sesame balls were a bit stale. Service was great! We went there around 5:30pm on a weekend night and there was no waiting.

This an all you can eat hot pot place that is so good. I recommend coming here and getting the original or mushroom broth. They have a buffet style so you can pick your own meat, noodles, appetizers, drinks and more. They even have a sauce station. Highly recommend and reasonably priced as well!

All-you-can-eat buffets and hot pots should be out-lawed. I am a Buddhist vegetarian dating Chinese woman with a very carnivorous teenage son. He also has a sweet tooth so he liked the grass jelly and mini-sesame balls. He especially liked the fried chicken wing appetizers. We ordered the "B" selection which included lamb cuts, since that is my girl-friend's favorite meat. She also like the seafood selection of New Zealand green lipped mussels, fresh water clams, and enormous tiger prawns. I did enjoy the spinach, tong ho (or chrysanthemum greens), Napa cabbage, and wide selection of tofu. I even enjoyed the fresh knotted kelp. I even enjoyed putting my faith aside for an hour and enjoyed a few chicken wings and lamb. May Buddha forgive me.

The best place to eat!!!! I highly recommend PiCHaiYuan Hot Pot. Amazing people, very clean. And the environment is very friendly, and no pressure to eat.

Pichaiyuan" Hot Pot is fantastic! The broth was incredibly flavorful, and the ingredients were super fresh. The staff was friendly and attentive. Highly recommended

The food here is very good i liked it a lot. The waiters are very sttentive and nice. The service here was very well. He ambiance is nice and the get things yourself is nice as well

Great place love the vibe The customer service is amazing their all very nice and helpful Food is great love it first place I actually love and would bring people with Will be back a lot

been here a couple of times and it's one of the good hotpot with an actual fair price. it's inexpensive and good for the quality of meat if you choose menu B or C. i always get half and half soup (hot&spicy and spicy). the soup is really flavorful and you can taste the szechuan chilis for the spicy soup. it's pretty spicy if you're not used to spice. they have 2 different type of fruit teas as well and it's unlimited. there is also a selection of hot foods too. the service is great. very attentive and they take their time to explain the menu to you. the inside is clean and has a lot of tables. it is easily accessible to the buffet area where you can select the hotpot items.

Located on Colima in the HK2 Food District plaza. Small but quaint little spot with old school decor and friendly workers. AYCE $20 lunch and $26 dinner. Went on Veterans Day and they were charging dinner price all day due to holiday ‍ 6 soup selections. We had the tomato and spicy soup. Hubs enjoyed the tomato but it was sweet for me. I asked if they use the Malay spicy for the spicy soup and they said no but it defs was so be warned. Meat and veggie selection was on the smaller side but decent quality. Hubs really liked that they had intestine. I would try it one more time but the original soup.

Not busy during their Sunday night early dinner (5pm) time. We were a group of 8 and they merged two tables into one for us in the room without the food. We selected menu A which is the basic tier and all the options are self serve. I can't say enough how much I love their wings, there's barely any coating other than chicken skin and seasoning and I will eat bowls of them!! My son also eats it (after peeling the skin off). I live getting the food ourselves, it's no need to wait and their sliced pork belly is a must, it's then the only meat option I will get. The other options are also great but I've definitely filled up or pork belly and wings. I also enjoyed the seaweed salad, shrimp chips, fried spring rolls (mushy inside and crispy outside), tiny fried purple sweet potatoes (super good), mild spicy cold pork ear, and fried bun dipped in condensed milk. For the price, this is definitely a great meal.

Hole in the wall AYCE hot pot with decent quality meats even at the cheapest tier. They also have self-serve tea/drinks, a decent sauce station, and an appetizer bar. The appetizer bar is not the best, but it's there! You really can't go wrong with this place. It's the best value hot pot in the area with respect to the meat quality. And there's always plenty of parking!

One of my favorite hotpot spots (hole in the wall) and feels very local to the area. Prices are great, everything's fresh, and it's nice there is a cooked food bar with little appetizers to enjoy while you're waiting for your first batch to cook. My favorites from there are: - Chicken wings - Sesame balls - Fried buns with condensed milk - Fried yam balls For the hotpot side, I always go for these items: - Half Original and half mushroom broth (tried the hot and sour soup - it was too spicy for me LOL) - watercress - imitation crab - sliced beef or chicken - bok choy - fried tofu - Mushrooms - Glass noodle Can't remember if things were labeled (maybe not), so I only recommend going with veteran hot potters. It's pretty informal and self-serve: no hosts, need to wave down waiters if you need assistance, but food, cookware, and bathrooms are clean. There's even a little park five minutes away if you need to walk off all the food after.

A variety of options for food. I enjoyed having a dinner with my family here. Highly recommended!

My family of 7 came on Monday night for dinner. They only had 1 waiter and about 10 tables but boy was he fast. We never had to wait for anything. I love the appetizer bar. They had seaweed salad, fried bread, jello, chicken wings (sooooo good), pawn chips and sesame balls (yum!). Our favorite meat was the pork belly. For $26 a person we were so happy and we will be back!

Best lunch special for bang for the buck. AYCE for only 20 bucks. Meats, seafood, veggies and noodles for hot pot. There's a great selection of hot foods too. Chicken wings were yummy. Service here is great, very friendly and attentive. They come fill your soup frequently. Very clean inside and the food you grab yourself is very clean and well maintained and stocked. All the food looked very fresh too! They have 2 more tiers for menus for more meat options. They were also very affordable and we plan to try it next time. I'd recommend hot and sour soup along with original!

PiChaiYuan Hot Pot is conveniently located in a strip mall with big banners advertising affordable lunch and dinner hot pot deals. We came as a party of two on a Friday night around 11pm -- great that they serve food until 1am, and the place was still buzzing. Service was friendly and attentive, and the space is brightly lit. They offer three meat tiers, and we went with the basic self-service option. It included pork belly, several beef cuts, lamb, shrimp, squid, and a wide selection of vegetables. We chose the mushroom and house broths. Unfortunately, the quality of the meat and seafood was lacking. If you're going to try this place, it's probably worth upgrading to the premium tiers for a better experience.

Great location and friendly staff. Had never had Qingdao style hotpot until now. Very nice free meal on your birthday too.

Arrived after 10:00 PM, and was initially concerned that choice's would be limited- we were put at ease upon arrival. Thinking we've found our new, favorite hot pot destination. Staffing was incredibly helpful in assisting, service, and hospitality. Food quality and quantity was a 5/5, especially considering the time of night. We left fully satisfied, and are definitely looking forward to making PiChaiYuan Hot Pot, a regular destination. Thank you to everyone for your patience and hospitality!

We came here for a birthday party and the staff was extremely friendly! We were able to book a reservation since our party size was 6 and up. Our reservation was at 6 pm however half the party ended up being late and the restaurant was extremely accommodating. They were also willing to hold onto our cake until the very end. It is all you can eat and the price is extremely affordable. Note: birthdays do dine for free so that is a plus! There is a bar where you can grab your own vegetables and noodles along with little snacks like eggrolls and chicken wings. You also grab your own utensils and sauce.

Best hotpot place in town better than Little Lamb. Lots of fresh vegetables and price is very good. Free drink as well.

Not too crowded on a Sunday afternoon for lunch, when we came today. We choose the mushroom broth and the spicy broth. Both were well flavored and delicious! We chose their A menu and found prices good and selection decent. It wasn't a huge buffet bar, but for the price, it was good. They had some veggies, quail eggs, tofu, fish balls, and seafood like squid and shrimp. I also liked that they offered passion fruit, chrysanthemum, and winter melon tea too. Service was attentive and friendly. Parking lot was large and had plenty of parking. We will be back again!

Absolutely loved this hot pot place! The ingredients were fresh, the broth was rich and flavorful, and the service was fast and friendly. Easily one of the best hot pot experiences I've had--will definitely be coming back!

This restaurant is our favorite hotpot place, we come here every time we crave for hot pot. The price went up but quality and everything else still good

First of all, I love hot pot. It's such a comforting meal and an entertaining experience. Dying to go even in the heat of oncoming summer. This little spot near the supermarket has a humongous parking lot. No need to worry about that! AYCE at a very reasonable price point we rarely see now after the rise in prices everywhere. Their lowest option includes a smorgasbord of meats, seafood and veggies. It was more than ample for us. They also have some small offerings of salad and fried warm egg rolls and sesame balls, two choices of cold tea and passion fruit juice. Although dated, everything was really quite clean and pleasant. Definitely a winner. We will be back!

Great food and great service. All the staff is nice and friendly and the place is very clean and a comforting environment. 10/10 would recommend to everyone. I'll be back again soon.

I've been here 2 times now and overall, its a good experience. The meat quality is ok but the variety is what gets you coming back. There are a ton of options and you get your own gigantic plate of meats and vegetables. Becareful not overdoing it. The server was nice. The drinks had too much sugar but the flavor was there, for the most part. For the price, you cant go wrong really unless you over eat.

Came here quite often and it's always been a 5 stars in my mind. It's a good place for hot pot for the flavorful Chinese taste. They have varieties of selection on meat. Very enjoyable. Service is great. Food and soup are good until latest visit, and cleanliness was why I give 4 stars since I enjoy the vibe here. Everything was going great until I found this 1 plastic string in the soup, thought was the string leftover from those vegetable holder net. However, I later found more when I scoop the soup. This could be from cleaning the pot and got stuck which is understandable but still very unpleasant finding.

Insanely cheap AYCE hot pot prices for both their lunch and dinner specials, especially if you choose their simplest A menu. Also open decently late at 1 AM too. Yes, it's cheap. Yes, it's open late. YES, there's unlimited teas (chrysanthemum, passionfruit, and a mysterious 3rd thing), comes with a sauce bar, and a snack/hot foods bar. Is it the cleanest most high quality place? LOL ABSOLUTELY NOT. But you're not here for that, you're here for everything else I've listed. Questionable cleanliness due to the self serve factor, floor is bizarrely slipper but not enough for you to fall, etc. But the staff does try their best to clear tables and clean up any messes and refill things as they happen. Their cheapest A menu comes with 2 different types of beef, lamb, chicken, and sliced pork belly, There are a couple different soup options, and you even have the option of getting 2 soups and there's no extra cost for any of the flavors. For the soup, we got the original broth and the hot and sour soup. Hot and sour was the fav as the original was a tad bland (fixed up quickly by adding in the cilantro and chopped chilies from the sauce bar). We ended up trying everything except the chicken. Pork is thinly sliced and boils white, but not bad. Most of our meat ended up being their beef and lamb, which is perfectly fine, but a couple seconds overcooked it becomes chewy. For veggies and other self serve items in the fridge there was various seafood, veggies (love the baby corn), tofu (tofu skin, fish tofu, etc.), quail eggs, corn on the cob, potato, kabocha pumpkin, etc. Just wish that they had full size chicken eggs. For the snacks/self serve hot and deli area there's seasoned peanuts, cucumber salad, tea eggs (I think...), fried buns and condensed milk, egg rolls, etc. Good amount of food to go with your non-hot pot meal. Servers were quick to grab dirty dishes and ask us if we needed more meat, as well as refill our broth. All in all a great place for super cheap AYCE hot pot later at night.

The service is good even if they were busy! The ayce hotpot was so worth it with a lot of variety! They gave us free drinks too! The ambiance is kids friendly but of course parents should supervise the child since the pot is hot! I would suggest to make reservations. I will come back again!

PiChaiYuan hotpot is so worth it. For AYCE, the price is so reasonable. With 3 tiers, the most expensive at $38 and least at $25 during dinner is great. My SO and I checked this spot out because we were disappointed that Hai Di Lao ends their AYCE after 5pm. Got here with a little wait but we were seated about 25ish mins or so after check in on their IPad. They were pretty attentive and kept everything in stock. You get to automatically choose 2 soup types, both of which were good and spicy. Even for mild spicy, it had a good kick, so be warned . Decent selection of seafood, veggies, drinks and other apps. You are allowed to order 3 plates of meat at a time. We stuck with the ribeye and enjoyed every minute of it. I would definitely recommend this spot if you're not looking to send $50+ per a person and just want that OG hotpot experience. The restaurant isn't the biggest but the parking lot is.

I found this place through some sort of advertisement from Tiktok. There appeared to be three different price points for the AYCE. Since it was my first time here, I tried the least expensive once. With the lowest price point in meats, it does come with an assortment of broths to choose from. The restaurant was somewhat crampt. It was difficult to have to maneuver through the restaurant to get my food as I had to walk between seated people which was awkward and uncomfortable. The meats that were provided were okay. Although it seems to be a good deal for AYCE, the selection was okay at best. The service was pretty good as the gentleman that was helping me was very nice. It seems to be a little sketchy outside in the parking lot, so be aware of your surroundings when walking to/from this restaurant.

Came in on a Wednesday evening around 6pm and a wait quickly followed after we were sat down. We went with the Combo C and only stuck with the meat from that combo. The Wagyu Beef was delicious and was all we needed to make our dinner! They had a good variety of appetizers (eggrolls, sesame balls, donuts, ice jelly, chicken wings). I enjoyed their iced passionfruit tea and chrysanthemum tea. The broths are seasoned well and refillable.

PiChaiYuan Hot Pot is AYCE Chinese hot pot place. Their soup base is less on the flavorful side as they emphasize on the taste of their meat and other items along with making your own dipping sauce. Their price is really reasonable for AYCE dinner price. Set A is $24.95 pp and Set B is $29.95 pp. The difference between each set is their quality/selection of red meat. Besides the beef, lamb, and chicken, the sets also include self-serve seafood (squid, clams, mussels), and veggies. Their service is very attentive and efficient. This restaurant is located in a plaza with ample amount of parking spots. Highly recommend!

I tried their AYCE hot pot and it was an overall decent experience. Got the medium broth and it was super spicy. Lack flavor but it was okay. The ingredients were fresh at the buffet area. especially the vegetables, which is always a plus. But the meat was frozen. Few good selection of sides to pick. The service was attentive. The staff were friendly. The ambiance was comfortable. Price is reasonable for what you pay for

I am a PiChaiYuan hot pot lover! The value is actually just so good! $17 for ayce hot pot is such an insane deal right now. Obviously at this price, you're not going to get A5 quality but their quality is not bad at all! I think it's still very yummy. They have so many options ranging from chicken wings, vegetables, seafood, tofu, juice, and more. I highly recommend their spicy broth and hot & sour soup. The only con I have is their broth can get really oily, where it covers your veges in oil. They also have an extensive sauce bar. The servers are attentive and clean up your table, add broth, and adjust the heat when needed! There's always such a long wait time so be prepared to put your name down and wait for a bit. There's lots of parking and a grocery store nearby if you want to shop while you wait.

So apparently you can start hiding all the bad reviews on yelp???? Looked on yelp and saw only good reviews and saw the price was only $17 for AYCE so we said why not give it a try. Turns out, there is a reason why they hide all their bad reviews. Although the price was unbeatable, the whole environment just felt unsanitary. Communal tongs and people coughing in their hands. Food just sitting out, multiple dirty plates, bowls and tongs. I really wanted to enjoy it since it's $17 pp however it was hard considering the environment and cleanliness.

Service was extremely good. They immediately sat us, took our meat order, and came back over and over again when they see the meat plate empty to ask if we need more. I went on a Friday right when they open at 11:30am and there was for sure no wait. They started getting busy around 12pm. It was almost full house. It was around $17 per person (cheapest menu). Definitely worth the price with the amount of variety they offer. The peanuts they had were very addictive! I love it! Hot and sour soup was delicious. No regret giving this new affordable place a try. Would come back again!

Food quality is what you pay for -- not bad at all but not amazing either. Can't complain about the price though! If it was just based on price & serviceI'd give it a 5. Option A was only 17$ for AYCE. We got the tomato and herbal broth, both of which were super flavorful but also had lots of msg. Meat is self serve for option A. They have sauce bars and hot food as well (like the chicken wings) Overall, no complaints but don't expect anything super quality.

If you need a quick cheap ayce hot pot fix, this is it. It will get packed during peak hours, feels hot & busy inside; it becomes like eating in Asia minus the flies lol. For the value, the meat quality is alright ~ very similar to Happy AYCE in Rosemead. All the meats are good, just don't get #5 marinated garlic beef - tasteless in a hot pot and has an annoying texture. The spicy broth in mild has a great taste and the hot & sour broth is actually pretty good for the fish fillets and seafood items. The sauce bar is a bit lacking but the small amount of sides offered are all actually pretty good (pork ears, sesame ball, chicken wings, tea eggs, chrysanthemum & passion fruit tea). Cold fridges is where it's at. In one glance you will see an assortment of meatballs to tofu cubes/sheets, then looking further down, you see many veggies (napa, spinach, pumpkin) to mushrooms to even quail eggs. You get carbs in fresh/frozen noodle forms as well. I really like their fridge varieties, which compliments the broth quite well. The big dude serving, hosting, and bussing everything is commendable. He is Captain Hotpot. Not afraid to handle new tables while taking orders for current ones, he even remembers who ordered what. The one-man army carried ~20 plates of meat and managed to give them all correctly, I'm very impressed by his efficiency and demeanor in handling 15 tables at once, didn't even flinch or rest. They need more servers. This place is about value and it does it right. You won't get everything you want (cold AC, vast side selection, fine-dining interior), but you will get full for sure.

Love the spciy hot pot. The food is good. The services are excellent. My family and my friends love this place.

Affordable for ayce hotpot and the broth is good. Veggies, sauces, and seafood were all self-service and all were pretty fresh. The only downside is it was HOT; they said the a/c was on but it felt like a sauna in there. I don't suggest coming here during the summer months; you might have a better experience during fall/winter time. Servers were all friendly and attentive; we ordered a plate of ribeye in the end which we waited for about 5 mins; but we both were too full so we changed our mind and asked the server to cancel the order. Instead of getting frustrated, they just apologized to us for the wait.

OMG, you guys! Hot pot AYCE for only $16.95?! And we get to order THREE meats each time?! That's such a steal! ‍ Who's down to stuff ourselves? The service is also speedy and the staff are very polite! Free drinks (chrysanthemum tea and passion fruit tea) and sauce are also included. In terms of the ambience, it is a pretty chill environment. This deal is only from 11:30 to 4:30, so let's go! #hotpotlover #ayce #fooddeals

Back again since they reopened and food is just as good as my last visit. Service is not as good as before, but still adequate and not much to complain about. They seem understaffed. Ambiance is still the same except now you have to get your own meet from the service counter when order combo A.

Excellent ayce only hot pot in Rowland Heights near the City of Industry. Bunch of seafood and meats to choose from and all very fresh and delicious. Lots of vegetables and some pre cooked food as well. Winter melon tea and other drinks included. Only about 18 dollars per person for lunch special. You can grab most of the meats and seafood like shrimp, mussels, clams, squid and more.

不错不错，肉质很新鲜，品种超丰富，百叶肥肠也很好吃。环境很中式中式家具中式氛围像回到了成都。 周末不到25刀，吃的舒舒服服，超值。 调料吃的香油蒜泥，美中不足的是麻将调料没有韭菜花，如果加上韭菜花就完美了。

All good for everything. Delicious hot pot. It's very delicious. I'd recommend the B set. It comes with juice and cold jelly.

Delicious hot pot!! This is my first time coming here! And to my surprise, this exceeded my expectations!

Came here for the first time and was very ecstatic with the restaurant opening to late. Their last call is at 12am which gives customers a lot of time to eat and not feel rushed. Spicy Soup (Medium) 5/5 - I am a very big fan of spicy and I will have to say that this broth was packed with flavor and spice. I wanted more mala and spice, so the waiter provided me with more spicy oil and sauce to add into the soup. Hot and Sour Soup 5/5 - This was my favorite soup out of the two broths chosen and it was also very flavorful. It was not too oily and in your face which I liked a lot Overall, this restaurant was very good for a late night hot pot spot. The price was also very cheap and reasonable as they also provided a lot of vegetables and extra meats to choose from in the fridge. I chose the Combo A to which the beef and pork were the best out of the choices and the meats were very tender. For an added bonus, they also provide winter melon and passion fruit juice to drink as well for free.

Cheap no frills no fuss Chinese style hot pot served in a giant pot. Everything is buffet style which is great and they have a good sauce bar as well as other hot food and cold food options like wings and pig ear salad.

Exploring new places for hot pot and picked this one to try. The selections of vegetables and seafoods were abundant. It's included with the meat choice of combo. From the basic to the waygu beef premium. Order your cuts of meat through the servers and the rest is at the cooler for your picking. Mix your own dipping sauce at one of the stations. They have small selection of dessert items, very basic, fried milk bun served with condensed milk. It was a bit dry since it was sitting out for quite sometime, the red bean filling sesame balls were a bit stale. Service was great! We went there around 5:30pm on a weekend night and there was no waiting.

This was our third visit, we were sat quickly and the service was very good. Unfortunately the meat selection has gone downhill. The Premium Angus Ribeye was oddly light in color and had nearly no marbling, so light in color I thought it was pork. The garlic marinated beef had a terrible texture and flavor, really bad, couldn't eat it. The USDA choice beef was the only decent meat I ordered, wasn't happy with the meat selection and likely won't be back because of that. The seafood and vegetable offerings are great as well is the sauce bar. We also liked the juices.

Sauce bar ingredient is very fresh, especially liked the garlic in oil and non watery sesame sauce. The quality of meat and seafood cannot be complained with this reasonable price. Plus they have unlimited duck blood. Their beef tripe is very tender as well. Chicken wings will pass for it is soaked in oil. Hope they have more variety of vegetables. Will be their regulars from now on.
