Hot Pot Heaven Kailua — Restaurant in Oʻahu

Searched for a local place with 4+ stars and dropped this place without a reservation. It was excellent. Definitely a hole-in-the-wall kind of place as the entrance is on the back side of a strip center. They asked if we had reservations, which the web site did not indicate they would accept reservations, so be aware of that. But they fit us in, took our order, and then things came out fairly quickly. Be aware that some seafood items, such as shrimp and scallops, come to the table frozen.

We have been eyeing this place for a while and finally pulled the trigger on stopping in on our last day on the island, and let me tell you, this was probably the best meal we had the entire time we were there!

We went with the Kimchi broth, and oh my god was it delicious, and had a bit of a bite! We went hog wild with all the add-ins and anticipated it being an expensive meal, we couldn't of been more wrong, for our group of 4, it was probably the cheapest meal we had out! Will definitely visit this place several times next time we are out, you will regret not...

This establishment is so family friendly!! The owners and staff are always so nice. Affordable and the food is great, nice and simple. There is a lot of parking in the back and outside seating area as well. Very clean space. All the broths are deliciously savory and the veggies and meat selections awesome. The inside dining gets cold sometimes but you can sit outside as well. The house sauce is yummy. There is a town and Kapolei location as well. Great place to get a quick bite and warm up. This has become my family's go to place on cold days or if we're just craving hot pot. The service is quick and always checking on your table for refill or things...
