" This was my first shabu shabu experience, and I must say I came in with high hopes! The broth was excellent, rich in flavor, and the marbled beef was top-tier! Our server was knowledgeable and helped guide us through the ordering process, which was appreciated since we were newbies. I especially loved the option for unlimited veggie refills! If you're looking for an authentic experience, Mokkoji is an excellent spot - definitely the best place I’ve been to for hot pot! " (*Curated Review*)

" tried Mokkoji last Saturday and it was a treat. The server guided us through the menu without rushing, making the experience relaxed. The spicy broth was exquisite and the veggies were surprisingly fresh. Would’ve loved more options for sauces, but overall, we left satisfied and happy. I’ll definitely recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I eagerly tried Mokkoji based on recommendations and was blown away! Everything from the quality of the meat to the flavorful broths was top-notch. My friend and I each got a special, and we had plenty to share. The ambiance felt modern and clean which made our dinner even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this place for anyone who loves shabu shabu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful time at Mokkoji! The setup with individual stoves is great because you can customize your cooking experience. The spicy broth was full of flavor, and the meats were excellent. Just a heads up—be careful with the ghost pepper drops; they pack quite the punch! Overall, I think this is a gem of a place in Riverside. " (*Curated Review*)

" Mokkoji never fails to impress! This was my second visit and the consistency in quality really stood out. The chefs know their flavors, especially in the broth. I also liked the various dipping sauces to try. Had a great time catching up with friends while enjoying a communal meal. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for hot pot perfection!

" I tried Mokkoji for the first time last week with my family, and we really enjoyed it! The broth was tasty and had the right level of spice. The service was quick, and the free veggie refills were a lifesaver. I would definitely come back for another family dinner and recommend it to my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm a huge fan of hot pots, and Mokkoji ranks high on my list now! The variety and quality of both the meats and broth options are fantastic. Plus, the atmosphere is cozy and inviting. The only thing that kept it from being perfect was a brief wait time, but it was worth it once we sat down and dug in. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)
