Mo-Mo-Paradise

I’m absolutely in love with this place! Hands down the best shabu shabu I’ve had all year. The quality, the flavor everything is spot on. Highly recommend! The sukiyaki set is chef’s kiss. Big Thank you to Lia and Tiff for all your assistance and kindness.

Went for AYCE lunch at 30 pp. The quality of the meat was very good and fresh. Assortment at the bar for vegetables, mushrooms, etc was very good. Everything looked and tasted fresh. Quality of meat and ingredients are good. 4 Broths to choose from for Shabu shabu. Staffs were attentive and super efficient. After we stuffed our faces, we got some ice cream too! Overall a good experience and we will be back.

Based upon a recent visit, Mo Mo paradise has my heart again! I visited here a couple of months ago and had a not so great experience but since then I returned and had a complete 180 visit! Staff was attentive and helpful and the food was excellent as usual. I hope they continue to keep up the changes for all guests with children.

Mo-Mo Paradise, a renowned international franchise famous for its sukiyaki hotpot, has its only San Diego location here, and it doesn't disappoint. With a more upscale and modern decor than their LA County locations, it's a perfect spot for hotpot enthusiasts, especially if you're a fan of Sukiyaki and Shabu-shabu. Weekday lunch specials are more affordable than weekend, holiday, or evening prices, though they lack options like pork belly and chicken thighs. Be sure to arrive before 2 pm for lunch, as that’s the last seating time. We visited on a busy Sunday night, and despite the crowd, the experience was well worth it. Before starting the hotpot, I highly recommend the beef curry with rice and the AYCE beverages. You can even DIY your own milk tea, choosing from Matcha or Jasmine tea with toppings like crystal boba, coffee jelly, and red bean—a fun and customizable way to start your meal. You can choose one or two soup bases from Shabu-shabu, Tomato, Tonkotsu, or Sukiyaki—with Sukiyaki being my personal favorite for its rich, sweet flavor. At the Farmer's Market section, you can grab as many vegetables, tofu, noodles, and salad as you want. For the AYCE proteins, they offer beef chuck eye, beef short plate, beef eye of round, pork shoulder, pork belly, and chicken thigh. I particularly enjoyed the beef eye of round and pork shoulder—both leaner cuts that pair perfectly with the dipping egg mixture. The staff is friendly, though a bit overwhelmed due to the crowd, so we had to call them multiple times to order more protein. As a sweet finish, they offer ice cream, and the Rocky Road scoop, with its blend of chocolate and mochi, was a standout dessert. While the price is slightly higher, the quality of food, variety of options, and overall dining experience make it worth it for a great AYCE hotpot experience.

We loved it!! The food is simply delicious!! We highly recommend making reservations, and going during lunch time because is less busy. Josh our server was very attentive and helpful. It was our first time going, and his recommendation worked out great. For the amount of food we ate the price was reasonable. The place has a lot of parking. Looking forward to go back again. :)
