🇺🇸 Charcoal Copper Pot Lamb Hot Pot in LA! 🔥

While LA has tons of Sichuan hot pot spots, as a Northerner, I’ve been craving that childhood-style copper pot lamb hot pot — fresh lamb dipped in sesame sauce and fermented tofu paste, steaming hot and oh-so-fragrant! A friend recommended East Town Hot Pot in Rowland Heights — one of the few spots in LA with real charcoal-fired copper pots. They even offer free fresh lamb soup from 10 AM–3 PM with a party of three — no tips required! 👉 The moment I saw their soup bases, I knew we were in the right place: Lamb Offal Pot, Lamb Spine Pot, Pickled Cabbage Pot, Pork Stomach & Chicken Pot, plus spicy and bone broth options. We chose half lamb spine + half lamb offal. 🐑 The lamb spine was fall-off-the-bone tender, and the offal pot had tripe, intestines, liver — you can also add extra offal. Topped with cilantro and pepper — so savory and comforting!😊👍 Almost every table orders their Beef & Lamb Platter — includes beef tongue, lamb shoulder, snowflake beef, Angus beef, and fatty beef. Over 30 pieces for just $30+ — we couldn’t even finish it! I loved the snowflake beef and lamb shoulder best — dipped in their secret sesame sauce (reportedly a family recipe!). They also have a wide variety of hot pot ingredients — order based on your taste. I recommend their homemade cuttlefish balls — similar to shrimp paste but with chewy cuttlefish bits inside! 📍 East Town Hot Pot 18268 Gale Ave B, City of Industry, CA 91748 #CopperPotHotPot #WinterComfort #LifeInNorthAmerica #LAEats #RowlandHeightsFood
