LA｜Hot Pot + BBQ Buffet — Is This Too Much for One Meal? 🍲

Survived a week of midterms and assignments by starving myself 😭 This weekend, my friends and I chose a hot pot + BBQ buffet to make up for it — ate until we couldn’t move 🥹🥹 📍 Chī Huò Huǒguō BBQ 500 E Valley Blvd Unit C&D, San Gabriel, CA 91776 We went for the premium buffet, which includes everything from the A and B sets + unlimited beer or green tea 🍺 Perfect for late-night hangs with friends over skewers and drinks! Here’s what we feasted on: 1️⃣ Set B highlights — Argentine red shrimp 🦐, wagyu beef 🥩, bullfrog 🐸, pork brain 🐖, fresh oysters 🦪 2️⃣ BBQ galore! 🍖 Northeast-style skewers (including lamb kidney, lamb testicles, pork edge, etc.) My favorites: chicken gizzard and crispy cartilage — slightly sweet and sour, so addictive! 3️⃣ Set A self-serve section 🥬 Frozen meat rolls (beef, lamb, pork belly) 🐮 Common hot pot items (duck blood, beef offal, meatballs) Braised pork rice & seafood porridge 🍚 Drinks, small desserts, and side dishes ‼️ Hot pot + BBQ + ALL YOU CAN EAT — we chose a triple-flavor pot: tomato, spicy mala, and green peppercorn 🌶️ Three cravings satisfied in one meal 🥹💯 #LAEats #LAChineseFood #LABBQ #LAHotPot #SanGabrielFood #LABuffet #LANightEats
