Irvine｜My American BFF Begged Me to Take Her

Last week, I took my ABC bestie to Wagyu Factory under the Chubby Group—a hot pot newbie who screamed after eating: “I never knew Chinese AYCE could be this fun!” 🤯 So many choices, we didn’t even know where to start… Our stomachs were just too small! 😅 ✨ 【Explosive Value】 ✅ Multiple soup bases to choose from: Japanese pork bone / Wagyu brisket tomato / Hokkaido seafood / Tom Yum / Spicy pork bone 🍅🐮🌶️ ✅ Fried snacks + stir-fry dishes + cold appetizers all AYCE—they even have egg tarts, dumplings, and pizza! 🥟🍕 ✅ Over a dozen beef cuts to grab freely: chuck roll, shoulder, brisket, cold-cut beef slices, A5 Wagyu, and more 🥩 ✅ Veggies, meatballs, and toppings—take whatever you want, just don’t waste! 🥬🍡 ✅ DIY sauce station—mix your dream dip! ✅ Free refills on drinks 🥤 + self-serve desserts like ice jelly, purple rice porridge, and fresh fruits 🍉 (may be time-limited—some items were gone on my second round) ✅ Order via iPad for extras like sushi, teppanyaki steak, or salmon 🍣🥩 ✅ Don’t forget to top it off with soft-serve ice cream! 🍦 🍅 【Must-Try Soup Base】 You HAVE to get the Wagyu Brisket Tomato Pot! Before cooking anything, ladle a bowl of soup—thick, rich tomato broth with tender braised brisket. My ABC friend’s eyes widened: “Is this… pasta sauce?!” 😂👌 💡 【Foodie Tips】 1️⃣ Dinner rush means long lines—try arriving before 5 PM. 2️⃣ Seafood like lobster requires an extra charge 🦞 3️⃣ King crab is limited daily and draws a long queue as soon as it’s served—released once per hour. 📍 Address: 2415 Park Ave, Tustin, CA 92782 #IrvineNewSpot #IrvineFoodFinds #IrvineEats #ExploringWithMaQ #HiddenGemAlert
