Mo-Mo-Paradise

I never tried sukiyaki before until this, mostly out of curiosity -- and lemme tell you it was BANGER ☝️☝️☝️ Their recommended broths of sukiyaki and tonkotsu was AMAZING (especially the sukiyaki) -- a flavor I never tasted before until this and I'm obsessed lmao. This place is 10000000% going on my to-go places to eat for when I am craving sukiyaki 😋 Also their bar is full of SO MUCH extra add-ons you can throw into the broth to cook (I mostly focused in just the meat this first time) -- but I'm gonna be real, their curry was HEAVENLY and I've been dreaming about it every night since 😭😭😭 100000/10 so much variety and you get SOOOO much for the price you pay -- and I only had the regular, base menu for my first time. I definitely will be looking forward to the wagyu menu next time my sukiyaki cravings hit and I visit 😋 Staff was friendly and very quick! Though I did come on a weekday just before the night rush, so I was lucky to come without a reservation. But busier days at peak hours, I recommend reserving 100000% ahead of time!!!

I've been to Mo-Mo Paradise in Arcadia, so coming to this location felt pretty much the same. Make sure to have reservations or they'll turn you away if they're full, even if you walk in, hoping to take a spot of a canceled reservation. When we arrived for Saturday dinner at 7:30 pm, they were already turning away walk-ins. We waited about 10 minutes before we were seated. Weekend dinner is $34.95 per person, with the option to add the unlimited drink garden for $2.55 extra. We got our go-to broths of shabu-shabu and tonkotsu (we found the dashi gets saltier as the meal progresses). We ordered our initial rounds of everything except the pork belly and chicken thigh, and then repeated orders for our favorites: the lean beef eye of round and the beef chuck eye. The meat pairs well with the curry and steamed rice offered by the vegetables and fish/meat balls in the farmer's market area. Favorite thing of the night was definitely the ice cream, which you can get as much as you want. We ordered a scoop of cookies and cream as well as the black cherry. Let me tell you, black cherry ice cream was SO GOOD and this was the only time I've ever had it! In all the times I've dined at Mo-Mo in Arcadia, never had they ever had black cherry. That alone would make me return to this location now. They add an 18% service charge to every table, no matter your size. Plenty of parking in the plaza!

Came here today, March 29 with my daughters. I thought I had reservation at 1pm and turned out I made a mistake and the reservation we had was for Mira Mesa location. But the young gentleman saw host at the front was very helpful and he found us a table because someone no showed. Food was great, love the salad, vegetables and condiments bar. Their self serve drink bar is also great with different selections of tea and topping options. Price is reasonable for the quality and amount of food.

This is my second time coming here. I only know about this place bc my in-laws looove hot pot and Mo-Mo lol! Parking: They’re located in a big plaza, so finding a spot is easy. Free parking lot. Ambiance/Environment: We made reservations by directly calling them. We dined for a total of 13. The seats and tables were clean. They have a large space, so it’s good for groups of all sizes. Service: We encountered many servers. They were all quick and efficient. The only time you’d interact with a server is to order more meat. Other than that, everything else is self serve. Soups: I ordered the Tonkotsu and Shabu Shabu. I absolutely enjoyed my soups. Some of my cousins ordered the Sukiyaki. They thought it was really salty at first, but after pouring more water in the pot, it diluted it a bit. Meats: We took advantage of all the meats. My favorite was the “Eye of Round” bc it’s more lean while my cousin’s favorite were the “Short Plate” and Pork. Sides & sauces: They have a side bar and drink bar that is all self served. It’s not the most cleanliest bar - they were a lot of spills everywhere. This is where they also serve the Japanese curry and rice. Unfortunately, we did have to wait a while for the curry bc they ran out. And when it did come out, it was lukewarm. My favorite part was the self serving drinks with unlimited toppings & refills. Desserts: We’ll always have room for ice cream! They offered three different flavors. This season they had vanilla, black cherry, and coffee. My favorite was the coffee! Prices: The prices are definitely worth it. Everything was unlimited. Perfect for dinner on cold nights!

This is a great place to satisfy your craving for hot pot if you have one! It is All you can eat and they also serve beef curry at the restaurant as well. Having a variety of vegetables, noodles, sauces, and noddles was a great plus for me! Although there was no seafood on the menu, you can perhaps order more meat. I really enjoyed the fact that it was all you can drink (soda and ice tea) too, so that was really fun! The service at the restaurant was excellent as I walked in just before lunch (11:45am), and I was seated right away. It is also important to note that some meats are available only at night and on weekends, so if you love meat, that's something to keep in mind! As of now, they only offer four different bases of soups, but I would like to see them offer more of them. It’s shabu( kelp dashi very light),tomato, tonkotu, and sukiyaki. I liked my friend’s tonkotu but I did not like the sukiyaki. It was really salty n sweet. You also get a ice cream at the end!
