[@BMT-by5ve]

We ate at this restaurant. What strikes me is the friendliness and a smiles of Wendy. The food is great as well. Will come back to this restaurant. Miss it already.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

They were very welcoming… It’s busy in there, but they are very good with the service

[@Alan-sl7qz]

Been there several times. The buffet section has really expanded recently, and with drinks included, definitely worth the price. Thank you for sharing, Tim👍

[@malisadominguez2744]

Aw tim thank you again for sharing your videos and taking us with you I so miss you and your videos when I don't see you. And your videos

Tim, your earthy, honest, humbleness is appreciated. The egg custard bun was amazing. The Hotpot looks delish! Warm greetings from Melbourne, Australia❤ 🇦🇺

[@patriciahartless2095]

Hello Tim , thanks for sharing . All the delicious food . That you were served in the restaurant . You should have took your friend with you . Was so much food . Have A Wonderful Sunday .

[@Lisabeefree-h7d]

Great a new episode . Love your journey with AYCE . Thanks Tim just can’t wait for more 😊❤!

[@winniethepoohandeeyore2]

Awesome! You found a great place!

[@timothygriffin1062]

Thank you for letting us all know about the Happy AYCE Hot Pot LA Tim! The food looked so fresh and delicious with the huge variety to select from. The staff was so friendly and helpful which would add to a very positive and memorable dining experience. So important. It was a very nice interior decor with everything clean and bright. I loved the flashing lights and strings of Holiday lights which created a festive, upbeat atmosphere. At such a great bargain price for all that is offered it is no wonder that it is so popular as we can see in your video @ 17:03 . I agree that fat is absolutely needed for flavor, and also nutrition (being carnivores ha ha). Stay safe and have a good one !!

[@npbwhalest-vr6rb]

Great! New episode in LA already 👍👍👍👍 Thank very much for taking your time to show us LA restaurants 😊 Have a nice Labor Day ☕️

[@vicki9384]

Thanks Tim…will definitely give it a try when we get to LA! In fact, we haven’t been to Los Angeles since the pandemic…so we are ready for sure!😊😊😊

Tim your knowledge of food and the way you fill your plate are so appetizing and your food pairings look so delicious love your channel

[@mona2046]

Thank you, Tim!!! 💖I think you have touched my heart as much as Dim Sum has and I enjoyed having breakfast with you!!! That looked so delicious!!! I've never had hot pot, but I've had pho; it all looks wonderful to me! I watched the Salty's video & I was happy to see that they are open again. If you know of any good Dim Sum or Hot Pot in my area (Portland, Oregon) please let me know! Stay Blessed!!!

[@dpalm852]

Wow! That looks like the best value I've seen in a long long time, thanks for the video, SO helpful!

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

It is quite a great deal and nice to find these places nowadays. Really enjoying the San Gabriel Valley area.

What an amazing restaurant! I can't believe how much you ate! OMG!

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

I certainly overdid it there… Especially with Wendy bringing all the dishes

[@TeaTinted]

Thank you so much for this video! I live near here and I've wanted to try hot pot for the longest time but was intimidated by it. This looks great!

[@sandiblythe4508]

Yum. Happy Labor Day!

[@gidgitvonlarue9972]

Oh wow such a hard choice Tim - great meat and hot pot on your table - then the buffet food! I'd be torn too! I love my tender meat with amazing flavors!

[@jjcutieboi]

I'm going to try nexttime. Good find Tim

[@steveg1919]

Really love your reviews and the restaurants you share ! I'm learning where I need to go. Thank you !

[@PeterSoby]

Tim… Before I discovered your channel, if someone told me I would spend 30, 40 minutes watching a complete KZbin video every time a new one came out… I would say they were crazy. But somehow you are must watch KZbin from beginning to end. And I honestly think a lot of it comes down to your completely Ernest and polite and respectful habits when it comes to staff and appreciation of the food and the dining establishments. Just keep on keeping on with what you do. Amazing! As a sidenote… I've always despised fat on my meat. But after watching you for a while now, I really want to try eating meat with fat for that added flavor.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Thank you so much for reaching out and for your kind comment 🙏. I do get quite concerned about the editing and the videos being way too long. Really enjoyable and great to hear about the meat! A little bit of marbling is always nice

[@evonlawrence1097]

You always choose great places. Thanks. It really helps a lot when traveling where to go.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

It was just by chance, but very happy to have found it

[@RoDeGuzman]

I can’t believe you finished all that Tim! So much great food for such a great price. I’ll definitely visit next time I’m in SoCal. Thanks for this find Tim👍🏽

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Oh, it was a lot of food and most of that was due to Wendy with the great hot pot

[@Changelingheart]

Let me just say before I even begin to watch the video from Sept 1, 2024, the price is quite affordable for just about everyone. Great find Tim Lee. 😊 *I have to ask - do you have to eat everything they bring?? That's just crazy!! 😂

[@TeresaHarster]

Great a new video love your journey thanks good food thanks Tim ❤

[@dogcat1745]

Great show keep eating so can I keep watching enjoy.

[@sklsuxs]

I had a much different experience. Service was slow for me even though the place was basically empty. I was not pleased with my experience. I am glad you got a better experience than I.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

I think it’s a bit different especially when I’m there with a camera. I suspect the service was definitely affected.

[@brandonng6000]

Most restaurants know the affect of social media, especially Asian restaurants. Thus, I'm sure Tim got super special treatments. The hotpot meats he got look really high quality, i'm wondering if any regular customers would get that kind of quality meats though

[@Homesick2024]

I love your channel Tim!!

[@gloriawinbush1590]

Looks delicious 🤤🥰🥹 and the price is pretty cool

[@chesterphung1143]

Happy lanour day to you and family 🥂 cheers.

Amazing food adventure. You did it again, Tim. 🫡⭐

[@JuQui228]

My boyfriend and I discovered this place back in February and we recently did their morning dimsum, it was amazing!

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

I was quite pleasantly surprised by their dim sum as well… I was expecting frozen dim sum but they were nice and fresh

[@vivvo4161]

I believe the veggies you added to your noodles are Tong Ho. It's very popular to eat wit hot pot. Place looks amazing. I'm a couple hours away and next time I'm in the area, will definitely add it to my list to visit. Love all you videos!

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Thank you so much! I couldn’t remember the name and that was it. It’s a very nice place and incredible value.

[@PamJones-ce5ky]

Hi Tim, you seem to be enjoying that , looks yummy ❤

[@chicagochris1988]

Welcome back Tim! So great to watch your new video

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Greetings to you and yours! Really impressed with this and Gabriel area. Such good food and such great deals.

[@boxscorewatcher413]

What a lovely feast.

[@mistergrendel32]

Another most excellent meal Tim and thank you for taking us along. After you’ve cooked your meats and things in the hot pot broths, do you consume it as a soup? 🤔

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

For me, I do consume the soup and it’s quite tasty.

[@SteveCraps]

Omg, need to drive back out West again. Thanks again for another amazing video.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

I was just watching Danny again and saw you mentioning it took you five hours to drive back! If you’re up for a trip, I would love to join you!

[@SteveCraps]

@@TimLeeLetsGo sounds good. After my trip to NYC.

[@robinrosen3236]

Those egg yolk buns looked fabulous, I've never had them! And what a treat to have fresh bamboo shoots!! Everything looked delicious 🤤. Thank you so much for taking us along ❤. Have a great week 😊. So, was "coupon Amy" the same as "recommendation Amy" from last time??

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Thank you so much… Yes, that was the same Amy. When she gave me the coupon she also also mentioned about the all you can eat dim sum at bistro 1968. Really nice to explore the different foods there at the hot pot.

[@tleekauai]

100 degrees…yikes. Looks like a great spread at such a reasonable price! Nice buffet 😊

[@MonkeyDelicious]

I'm salivating. Time to go to my favorite Chinese buffet.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

😋😁

[@luvpinkhellokitty]

Oh wow!! Thank you for sharing this great video Tim!! We didn’t know about this place (hubby had driven by it, but we didn’t give it a 2nd thought), because of your video, it’s on our radar now. We noticed you wear lots of Coca Cola theme t-shirts, was wondering is that your soda of choice? Oh! If you are still in LA, you need to check out Chubby Cattle in Rowland Heights, CA!! Thank you again!

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Thank you so much and I’ve had a lot of recommendations about chubby cattle as well! It is funny because I was actually driving by when I saw this place and thought I’d pop in and take a look.

[@luvpinkhellokitty]

@@TimLeeLetsGo And what about the meaning behind your Coca Cola T-shirt? Thank you 😊

[@audrey.c1]

Oh man I've always wondered about this place! Thanks for sharing! also just an FYI SGV is still in the LA area :) LA County is quite large lol

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Thank you so much… I always get confused and nice to know that it is in LA

[@tinayu4540]

Thanks, Tim for showing me what's in my own neighborhood! 😂 Will definitely be trying this place soon!

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

I am really impressed with the San Gabriel Valley area… So many great places and such great value

[@melissalambert7615]

Still having fun in SG. So, it's 100 degrees out and you decide Hot Pot is a good idea. Ha, ha! I've never had the opportunity to do a Hot Pot. That was a bottomless pot. Lots and lots of meat. The bamboo shoots are different from what I'm used to seeing. Pretty. Blessings to you from Oregon..

[@Changelingheart]

I think Tim was going to head over to the buffet while it was fresh and selections were full. However, Wendy delivered him a full array of the beautiful and tempting morsels available with the Hot Pot selection. Omgoodness - the meats look so nice!!🥬😊🌿🫕🥟🍤🍚

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

It was quite a nice experience and Wendy was very kind to bring over so much food. I did have to eat everything, and was rolling out of there by the end.

[@tomm2812]

Tim, Great find. Best

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

🙏

[@timothygriffin1062]

Tim, BTW, the leafy greens, by the shape of their leaves @ 31:13 through 31:30 look Chinese (Oriental) Celery.......and the "acquired taste" noodles @ 29 through 29:22 and after are probably the wide glass Chinese Vermicelli.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Thank you so much… Really enjoyed the Chinese celery and I think I’ve developed a taste for it. I think those were indeed wide Glass noodles.

[@tonyyarbray]

that's a really nice place everything looked very good I know it was a minor part of the meal but I really liked the look of the fatty Char Siu. I think the unidentified greens are gai lan?, kai lan? (Chinese broccoli to me) and the glass broad noodle might have gone in first with your other noodles instead of last but it did come out last so it was probably cooked enough they do have a unique texture either way. Your server Wendy had a big friendly smile.. and nothing to do with the restaurant but I thought the built in spoon on your ice cream container lid was cool I guess I haven't seen that before probably because I don't buy those little cups.

[@timothygriffin1062]

The leafy greens, by the shape of their leaves @ 31:13 through 31:30, look like Chinese (Oriental) Celery rather than Gai Lan leaves, but I may be mistaken.

[@tonyyarbray]

@@timothygriffin1062 maybe so, it looked like Gai Lan to me but I'm not an expert :)

[@gailsfoodandstuff]

if you ever decide to come out to northern va (just west of DC) there are a gazilion hot pot places. i have not tried them as im not very versed on how to do them, but the hubby and i would love to treat you to some of them in the area. you can pick the ones you think area best, per reviews, (maybe around sterling, chantilly, herndon or reston, va area).. and we can try them out. maybe do a colab since it too love to post about food. 😊 say hi to danny, if you run into him again. he and i did a couple of colabs a while back.

[@Redwhiteblue-gr5em]

Place looks delicious. A meat lovers dream with the hot pot. How much meat can you consume in a meal? You have an amazing digestive system. If I ate the hot pot meat I don’t think I could eat anything else! Maybe the noodles with tofu and mushrooms and a few shu mai lol. Personally I would skip the buffet as the hot pot and dim sum is plenty for my stomach to be full.

[@calvinmarshall1610]

Hi there tim even though modest dessert section the price is great! I thought your drink of choice was dr pepper??😅😅

[@Tominori70]

Nothing like a cold glass of pepsi.. but wears a coca cola shirt. Lmaoooo 😂

[@grahamhang178]

Tim, is the shu mai at this place better than the shu mai at the AYCE dim sum place. Bistro 1968?

[@gidgitvonlarue9972]

You love fat on protein like I do - to me it's flavor - it's richness of the meat! LOVE IT! Why I buy a scotch fillet over a porterhouse - scotch has more fat in it! ❤❤

[@deezchewchews]

Wow, what a delicious deal. How does a restaurant like this not lose money? Similar experiences/quality I feel cost 2-3x more.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

I can’t believe they can offer this for as low as $20 myself

[@Carole1207]

[@blackcloud5873]

OH MY, thank you! I live in Orange County and have no idea of such a hot pot buffet some 45 mins away from me in San Gabriel. Unlimited hot pot? Unlimited Dim sum? Free drinks too? It's a good reason to do a little vacation food trip up there! I'll try it someday, hopefully with 1 or 2 friends along. :) Say, Tim, I used to go to a Thai buffet in Chicago but I haven't found one here in S.California. Do you know of any?
