Yintang Spicy Hot Pot - Arcadia 隱燙麻辣燙

Did not know they have chains! I mean I just friggin love this place. Grab ingredients from the bar at your heart's content, pick the soup base, and they'll cook it for you, what can be better than that! I always pick the original soup at the "hot" level. What I just love about their soup base is that it's not the regular sichuan mala soup that is mostly red oil, this actually has a base of bone soup, so the red oil just kinda floats on top and underneath is the bone broth, which means you can actually drink this without absolutely destroying your stomach (at least I do lol!) Finally don't forget to swing by the sauce bar and grab your sauces and toppings!

Came here with my friend tonight for dinner. I got the spicy beef broth and it was delicious. You grab what you want in your hotpot and weigh it. The variety of ingredients were plentiful and fresh. It’s $13.99/lb. This was perfect since you can customize each hotpot bowl how you desire. Also, the sauce bar was perfect.

This Taiwanese hot pot restaurant is really amazing. I think you get your money's worth at $13.99 a pound, especially considering the variety and quality of the ingredients. I ordered my broth extra spicy and it tasted just spicy, but you can adjust the spice level with the condiments (see notes below). The lamb tasted really fresh, as well as the noodles and all of the vegetables. I recommend mixing the lamb with the egg noodles, shitake and oyster mushrooms, lotus root, fried tofu puffs, bok choy, and corn. I added a generous amount of chili paste, fresh scallions and cilantro. It was one of the most satisfying bowls of noodles I've ever had! Seriously! One thing worth highlighting is that their table condiments and garnishes are not weighted. And they include the following: chili paste, garlic, scallions and cilantro, sesame and peanut sauces, sesame seeds, dried chili flakes, sugar, cumin powder, sweet chili-sesame sauce, pepper oil, soy sauce, and vinegar. Highly recommend!

Very good and fast service. They’re $13.99/lb average price for malatang around the area I also got med spicy beef broth their broth are actually spicy next time I would get mild so good clean area they also do stamp cards!

Bone broth was very good, mild was a good comfortable level of spice. The fresh red chili in the sauce section is very spicy and numbing, great quality! It was my first time there, so the staff was patient to explain how it works and introduce different ways they can prepare the food. You pick anything you want from the "food bar section"; they weigh your selection and charge by lb ($13.99 per lb, mine was $20); they bring the food to your table once it's ready (about 10 minutes). This is a good hot pot business model, definitely will come back!

Good place for hotpot, comparable to YGF nearby though it feels like the meat options are a little less here, and some ingredients a little less fresh. Overall great quality and prices still. Helpful staff and quick turnaround. You fill a bowl with raw ingredients, pick a soup base, and they cook it for you. For a personal hotpot I got plenty of tasty, well cooked food and a bowl of leftovers for $20. Bone broth worked as a good soup base and they had different options for sauces and toppings. The price is set per lb and gets even cheaper when you bring a large group! Would definitely recommend.

Tried this new spicy hotpot restaurant today. You can select any topings, noodle and meat you like. And then you choose beef or tomato soup base. They weigh whatever you choose on a scale. I think mine is like 1.3 pounds and it cost me about $18. I chose mild spiciness and that is the same level as Korean instant noodle by Nongshim, Bowl Noodle Souo Hot and Spicy flavor.

It can be a little crowded and noisy but that only really speaks to the quality. Lots of high quality exotic ingredients available, staff is very willing to customize, and control for allergens was really good.
