Irvine｜My ABC Friend Begged Me to Take Her

Last week, I took my ABC friend to Wagyu Factory (under the Chubby Group). This hot pot newbie was literally screaming after the meal: "I had no idea Chinese AYCE could be like this!" 🤯 So many choices—we didn’t even know where to start. (Our stomachs were just too small, honestly.) ✨ Insane Value ✅ Multiple broths: Japanese tonkotsu, Wagyu brisket tomato, Hokkaido seafood, tom yum, spicy tonkotsu. ✅ Full self-serve bar: fried snacks, stir-fries, cold dishes—even egg tarts, dumplings, pizza 🍕! ✅ Meat galore: chuck roll, shoulder, brisket, cold cuts, A5 beef, etc. 🥩 ✅ Veggies, balls, toppings—take what you want, just don’t waste. ✅ Sauce station to customize your dip. ✅ Unlimited drinks + free dessert bar (iced jelly, purple rice porridge, fruit). ✅ iPad ordering for sushi, teppanyaki steak/salmon. ✅ End with soft-serve ice cream 🍦! 🍅 Must-Try Broth Wagyu Brisket Tomato Pot – So thick it coats the spoon! Big chunks of tender brisket in rich tomato soup. My friend’s reaction: “Is this not pasta sauce?” 😂 💡 Pro Tips 1️⃣ Dinner rush = long lines. Arrive before 5 PM. 2️⃣ Seafood 🦞 costs extra. 3️⃣ King crab legs are limited—lines form fast when they come out (once an hour). 📍 2415 Park Ave, Tustin, CA 92782 #IrvineNewSpot #IrvineFoodFinds #IrvineEats #FollowMaQToEat #HiddenGemSpotlight
