Xi Xi fried skewers and hot pot is probably best place for quick, pick your own, hot pot in all of Irvine. What makes this small and quaint food stall in the Jamboree Prominade unique is their exclusive peanut and chile sauce that is addictive right from the start, and you can have it in four different spice levels (Level 1 - Original being more traditional and Level 4 being extremely spicy). Also if you just want a quick snack with friends you can get freshly cooked skewers including potato tornadoes, fried veggies, fried chicken, squid, and so much more on zesty skewers that are just fun to snack on with your friends. Not a full sized restaurant and sits between Momo's and YGF Malatang, so perfect for a meal on your own, or with a date on the weekend. Parking directly near the food court often is packed so you always find a spot in the garage below. All in all, Irvine's best little Asian food secret that you have to try! (^^)v
Pro tip, use a translator app with camera scanning capability like Google Translate to easily read ingredients to know what you are biting into.

Would not come back for sure regarding the...

This is a fried skewer shop, and because I had noodles, I only ordered one chicken fillet for the skewers. It's really great. The boss is very friendly and the service is great. I...
