WA 升仙·蛙蛙鸡 — Restaurant in Monterey Park

It’s so good I came twice in one week! We ordered the mild spicy broth, and after the first bite… wow. Totally hooked.

While waiting in line, I scrolled through some negative reviews — most people were just complaining about long wait times or certain dishes running out. As long as the flavor’s good, who cares 🤷🏻‍♀️

Here’s my real queue-time experience👇🏻 💎 1st visit — arrived 4:20 PM, started eating right at 5 PM 💎 2nd visit — arrived 7:10 PM, seated around 8 PM

🥢 Highlights: 1️⃣ Unlimited drinks — even mung bean soup and chocolate oat milk! (all brand-name, not homemade ❤️) 2️⃣ Unlimited fruit 🍉 — surprisingly sweet and fresh, even had rambutans and mangoes! 3️⃣ Unlimited frog meat 🐸 (I literally refilled 8 times) 4️⃣ Crunchy beef tripe, all-you-can-eat 🥩 5️⃣ Amazing cold appetizers — way better than many other restaurants 💰

🥰 The marinated beef and pig tongue were shockingly good, I couldn’t stop eating! Sweet-and-sour ribs were a dream for anyone with a sweet tooth. Century egg and crispy chicken cartilage? Chef’s kiss.

🐸 The frog and fish were incredibly fresh — bouncy frog meat, tender fish, and that spicy broth aroma hits just right. If you love frog hotpot, don’t even hesitate.

🍽️ Minor downsides: ◦ No DIY sauce bar — only a fixed Sichuan-style mix (pickles + fried soybeans + sauce + scallion + cilantro). ◦ Service was a bit slow with tissue refills and dish changes, but honestly, every staff member was so nice and patient 💛 even though they were super busy.

🌶️ Overall: Fresh ingredients ｜ Authentic Sichuan broth ｜ Delicious cold dishes ｜ Friendly service ｜ Slightly slow serving speed With their current discounts, this is hands-down one of the must-try hotpots in LA. Already planning two more visits next week 🤭

🕐 When to go: line up early — peak hours are always packed 📌 Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟💫 (totally...

Bullfrog Hotpot is absolutely worth recommending! The value for money is excellent, and all the ingredients are super fresh. The bullfrog meat is tender with no fishy smell, and the broth is rich, spicy, and flavorful without being greasy. There are plenty of fresh side dishes, and the portions are generous. The restaurant is clean and comfortable, and the staff are friendly and efficient. Overall, it was a great dining experience—I’ve already recommended it to my friends and will definitely...

The frog dish is delicious—tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection, with spices that shine without overpowering the meat. I’ve tried several other dishes and loved them all; the portions are generous, the ingredients taste fresh, and everything arrives hot. Service is quick but never rushed, and prices feel fair for the quality. Whether I’m grabbing a casual bite or meeting friends, this has become my go-to spot for sure....
