Uniboil - Rowland Heights

One if my favorite places to get a hot pot. Make sure to try the szechuan numb sauce base for an interesting treat.

SZECHUAN HOT POT! I love spicy food and even better... spicy hot pot! Extra points to Uniboil for opening early, the struggle is real trying to find a hot pot place to eat before heading to the airport in the morning As tempting as it was to order there various other options like korean army soup, noodle soups, and sizzling plates.. I opted for the hot pot since that's what Uniboil seems to be known for. I'm not a fan of szechuan numbing spice so I got the spicy soup with the New Zealand lamb. The portion size for the hotpot was decent. It was comparable to boiling point which I'll use as a standard for personal hot point. Though I feel like Uniboil has way more vegetables and less side item variety. However, the soup was delicious! Way more flavor than I expected. The spicy broth was super tasty for how hot it was. Usually the spicy overpowers everything but their broth did a good job of showcasing both their unique flavor and spice. My friends got the numbing one and it was equally as delicious. Plus the lamb was spectacular, wish they gave more. The restaurant itself is spacious. It has about ~9 tables that can sit 2-4 people. They can combine tables to accommodate for bigger groups. It's clean and the decor has an urban feel with the hanging lights and exposed brick. The service was slow but they only had one guy at the time and he was hustling trying to do everything. Seems like they have their main staff at 11 so for the hour we were there, the guy was solo. Overall the meal was enjoyable and an option I would consider for personal hotpot. The soup and meat quality makes this place worth it.

Soups have lots of flavors!!! Wish that each pot had different ingredients that would go well with the pot instead of just mushrooms, tofu, and lettuce.

Had the satay pot, and it was quite tasty, not sure the combo option with the digestive shot and soy rolls is necessary.

The hot pot was better than I expected.
