Start driving and stop going back and forth with your friends or your boo about trying to decide where to eat.... You're wasting time. This place was that good. Let's start with the entrance. We walked in and were immediately greeted (love it when I'm not ignored) sat down, explained the process and we got up and went straight to building our pot. It's SUPER clean and I just can't get enough of all the options. Meat, vegetables, noodles and a few things I'd never even seen before which is pretty rare for me given my extensive knowledge and experience in the food world. Once we chose our ingredients, they weighed everything out and we sat down and waited for our soups. The waiters are super attentive and customer service was exactly how I like it. They have different soup bases. I got the tomato beef and it was nice and tomato-ee and had a hint of sweetness. It's good guys. Trust your girl on this one

I finally tried this self serve hot pot restaurant that was recommended by my cousins. It's like a buffet where you choose all the ingredients that you want inside your hot pot. There is a lot of variety of fresh vegetables, tofu and bean curd items, fish balls, fish/beef/lamb slices, and noodles. You place all ingredients into a plastic bowl and then they weigh your bowl. You then choose which broth or dry stir fry style you want. And within minutes, you are served. You also have the opportunity to make your own dipping sauce at a station beside the bowls. In case you get too much, like I did, ask for a takeout container. The restaurant has plenty of seating, mainly with tables for 2-4 people, but you could easily push a couple of tables together for a bigger party. There was music playing but it wasn't too noisy. Dinner was great!

This soup is spicy! I got the non-spicy and the lingering flavors are peppery and spicy. I enjoy being able to pick your own ingredients and that meat is similarly priced to cheap veggies. I didn't get enough beef so make sure to get more since it shrinks! I got less than 1 lb of food and was full. I appreciated getting slices of veggies. I wouldn't be able to ever finish 1 full yam from 99 Ranch and liked picking and choosing a little bit of what I was craving. The soup was beefy and had a medicinal Chinese quality to it. It was tasty. The minus star is for the sauce ingredients. I can't put my finger on it, but they are missing something. I can make a better hot pot sauce at HaiDiLao but, of course, there are more sauces.

Big fan of hot pot. Best part coming here for me is I get to choose what I want to eat in my bowl of hot pot soup. The soup base options were original, spicy, soupless, and tomato. I always opt for original beef broth. There's a very good selection for vegetables, meats, noodles, etc and a sauce bar. This place charges according to the weight of your food. Food comes out fast. And they have stamp cards for every 10 lbs, get 1 lb free. There is free parking in the back parking lot. If you pay by cash, I think you can get a free soda.

My mom and I came when we were craving hot soup but not hungry enough for hot pot. We liked how this place measures by weight. That being said, it's $13.99 per pound with a .5 pound minimum purchase. If you exceed 1.5 pounds and pay with cash, you get a free soda. There were many options for veggies and noodles. There was also a good amount of other protein add ins such as spam, sausage, fish, quail eggs, and fish balls. We do wish there were more options for main meats though. They only have lamb and beef. In total, my mom and I paid $56 before tip for about 3.5 pounds. I got the medium level spice and it was a comfortable level to eat at. I have a pretty high tolerance for spice and my mom even higher. She ended up getting the spicy level and she said it was a little too spicy even for her. Overall, the meal was decent. Not much to write home about but a solid place to cure a hotpot craving. Our eyes were definitely a little hungrier than our stomachs realized and we had to take the rest to go. This was the first time we visited so we were a little lost but you essentially grab one of the big bowls and a pair of tongs and you have free reign over how much and what you add to your soup. They only have one type of soup with varying spice levels. Their sauce bar is kind of small but honestly it has everything you need to enjoy your meal. There is a decent amount of seating inside and it was not hard to find a table. Parking is street parking but they also have parking in the back.

Came twice in 1 week lots of options for hot pot + sauce bar. Price is great at $14/lb (cheaper than Boiling point and normal hot pot places). We've been getting the tomato soup base and it's delicious, super fresh tomato taste (no tomato chunks but they have tomato's as one of the options to add to the ingredients if you want). My new go-to soup/hot pot restaurant and it's served really quickly as well! Curious to see how the dry pot tastes as well, sounds delicious but don't know if it's very oily.

I PERSONALLY love the hot pot here! It's the best BANG for your buck FRANCHISE in the SGV! The service is very good and they only need to add the broth and bring your hotpot to the table! The ambiance is vv casual and family friendly! Tip: if you pay in cash, you get a free soda! Parking is free and in the back! :,)) Try it out and let them know that you saw my review

BEST PLACE EVERRRR and I'm not capping. - basically its buffet style and it's charged by weight 13.99 per pound. and tbh u can def get a lot for 13.99 I got around 5 pieces of meat and hand ful of veggies and lots of fish cakes and it was under 13.99. so the meal is totally worth. not to mention the broth is so unbelievable gooddd. tbh I don't handle spice that well but I got medium and i felt pretty okay. the broth was so flavorfulll and creamy it reminded me of tonkatsu ramen broth but with numbing spice. totally recommend coming here!!

Great food and service. Pick out what you want. Weigh it at the counter. Pick your level of spice. Wait for them to bring it to your table. Pro tip: Pay cash and they will give you a free drink. You can pick a can of coke or sprite or you can get a cold tea. Malatang here is my wife's favorite as we've tried other places, but this place is best one around according to Malatang Master wife.

Came here twice and what I like about YinTang is that they have a very flavorful broth and a good selection of ingredients for $13.99 a pound with a vegan broth option! When you arrive, you can park for free on the street or in the back. The staff well tell you which table to sit at marked but letter and numbers. For example table C5. Then you go to the bar with soup items and grab a bowl with tongs and load up on items for the hot pot. Veges are in the beginning and the meats toward the end. They have lots of noodle types, tofu, seafood. Then you bring the bowl to the register where they weight it and tag the bowl with a clip. They give you the matching number bracelet. The bracelets really remind me of the locker keys for Korean spas. You pay at the end after eating at the table and just wait for the piping soup to come out. They have spicy tomato soup or bone broth. The vegan option can't be spicy because apparently the spicy stuff in the back kitchen isn't plant based but you can spice your own soup with the chili oil at the table or the sauce bar. The sauce bar you DIY your own sauces. What I feel is missing is some type of citrus ponzu sauce but oh well. They do have a sichuan pepper oil which is nice. It's hard to stay under a lb! With tax and tip it's around 25 a person.
