Best WLM Reviews
First, choose any food you like into a plastic bowl , and have it weighted, then choose the base. The price is dependent on the weight and the base. There are 4 types of base, 3 soup broth (tomato, beef bone mild spicy and medium spicy) and one dry sauce. There are plenty choices for the food. There is no slices of chicken though.
The tastes of beef bone broth and the tomato are great!
There is a side bar for dipping sauce with garlic, green onion , cilantro, chili, and sesame sauce.
The waiters are very helpful. They will set up the seats for you while you select the food. They will put water, napkins, and chopsticks on your table. After the food of your choice is cooked, the waiter will bring it to your table. It’s pretty fast, as well as tasty!!!
stopped here on two separate trips and during both visits, I really enjoyed the milkiness of the spicy beef broth along with the flexibility to choose how much to eat. there's a good variety of veggies, meat, and seafood. however, i did have a friend bring up a really valid concern with cross-contamination as a vegetarian and how each item was placed and everyone just going back and forth between each fridge of veggies, meat, and seafood. definitely would be interested to see if there's any way YGF can improve this process as their concept is so fun to be able to DIY your own hot pot!
i also recommend for yall to check out this spot as it allows each person from the party to get the amount of food that they feel is suitable for them. their ambiance is super casual and can be a bit intimate as each table to closely lined. their staff are very chill and laid back - in a sense it feels like a cafeteria-style because you pick up the food, drop off your food, and it's brought back cooked along with a sauce bar in the back for easy access.
tip:
- lots of parking available but this plaza does get busy so there might be some wait time with parking
- lots of great desserts/boba options available nearby
- perfect for small groups (friends, family, and dates)
We've been here a few times already. We had to figure things out first. It's just load a bunch of stuff in a bowl and pay by the pound. They seem to rotate some ingredients like vegetables and little fancy fishball thingies. They cook it all in the broth of your choice, and the broths are amazingly tasty. I prefer the medium spicy beef broth. IF you have discipline, it's a great meal for under $15. I always end up adding way too much good stuff.
Also, the people who work there are super-nice.
I will be back.
I was here for the first time as my friend mentioned this authentic place. Since it was Friday we decided to come early at 11 am and to our surprise there was already a big line up at this place. You pick up a bowl and choose what you want and how much you want. There's a good mix of fresh vegetables, fish in the form of fish balls, meat, seafood, tofu and many more leafy vegetables, noodles of all kinds. Once you select it they will weigh it and will give you a table number to be seated. Based on the base sauce selections out of three kinds - sweet tomato base sauce, mild spicy which is with beef bone broth and the last with spicy yet with peanut sauce. Your food that you selected is taken inside their kitchen to cook and based on that your food is priced. I found this very reasonable from the point that you don't have to waste food. Usually when the soup bowl comes out it's huge enough to be fed to three people and one person can't finish that all. So this is good that you can pick and choose. I chose the mild spicy one it came as a soup bowl. The aroma of the spices were so tempting that I started tasting it. The staff is extremely helpful and courteous. They will place the bill but will tell you not to worry or hurry, just enjoy your food. I really loved the ambience It is really good with lots of sunlight, numbered table seating inside, and giving more details about the type of their food. It seems they have more than 6K franchises opened around the globe. This restaurant just opened recently as they call it soft opening. I will definitely go back here to try out other flavors and food items. It's always advisable to come early as later at noon the line was outside the restaurant. I find this place very neat and clean. I will highly recommend it.
My friends and I went around 7pm on a Wednesday night. The restaurant was very full. We ended up waiting around 15 minutes for a table to clear that could seat us.
YGF is a hot pot that charges you by the weight of the ingredients. There was a wide selection of ingredients, but some of them were mislabeled. After choosing your ingredients, they weigh the bowl and ask what kind of broth you want. When we went they did not have the Tomato broth which is their only non spicy/malatang broth.
It took them less than 10 minutes to deliver our cooked food.
The sauce station was quite messy and almost empty when we were grabbing our sauces.
The restaurant was almost completely full the entire time we were there.
Great noodle option outside of ramen, udon, or pho. Instructions could be clearer, but basically you enter the store and immediately grab a bowl and fill it with whatever frozen ingredients you want. Then you get the bowl weighed and your cooked bowl will be brought out to you. The ingredient options was a little on the small side, but it is a small restaurant. There's also a little sauce station.
I've been a regular at Yang Guofu Spicy Hot Pot, and one of the things I absolutely love is that I hardly ever have to wait in line. It's so convenient! Their Mellow spicy mixing is fantastic, and what's great is that it's not overwhelmingly spicy. This is the go-to place for anyone looking for a flavorful and enjoyable dining experience without the long waits or overly spicy dishes. Highly recommended!
Came here for lunch .
You have to pick up your bowl first and cashier will tell you where you can set .
Honestly, I doesn’t like this , even just one person , but I pay $25 , set on small table is reasonable, because not even full house yet .
All the table is small and very near each other .
Food is ok , just like bowl of noodle soup
