Irvine｜AYCE Hot Pot with 3 Soups & Premium Ingredients

Irvine Chinese food can be pricey 😅—but this spot is a total steal! Check the menu at the end. Lunch is $29.99 per person, which includes meats, a sauce bar, and everything from the refrigerated case—way more than enough! For higher-quality meats and seafood, go for $39.99. Both options come with a triple-flavor hot pot base 🍲 Honest review: The flavors are solid, familiar hot pot, but here’s what stood out: The sauce station is well-stocked and clean, with snacks, rice balls, beef jerky, congee, dessert soups, marinated dishes, fruit, and more. Since there’s a sukiyaki broth, you get unlimited pasteurized eggs 🥚 The refrigerated case is neatly organized with generous portions—not skimpy just because it’s AYCE! Items like tripe and pork brain, usually pricey elsewhere, are all-you-can-eat here 🎉 Ingredients are fresh and satisfying. Tried the $39.99 option today—worth the extra $10! You get better beef cuts, perfect for sukiyaki, plus seafood like abalone and lobster tail (add $3.99). The live frog was tender and well-prepared. We picked spicy, pickled cabbage, and sukiyaki broths. Don’t miss the extra snacks: cold noodles, fried rice cakes, and skewers! The place was packed on a weekday lunch, even with lots of non-Asian customers—proof of great value 👍 Nice to Meet You Skewer Hot Pot 15361 Culver Dr, Irvine, CA 92604 #IrvineEats #IrvineHotPot #AYCE #LAFood #HotPotLover #FoodieFind
