First time ate at this restaurant. They have parking building so that's good. There was long waiting period. We got seated at a table w booth nearby to the entrance and the chairs felt funny, sinking feeling. We ordered the most expensive set from their menu and the taste were okay. Customer service was good. Prices are kinda expensive.

Haven't been to Jazz Cat in a long time because they normally have a long wait. My friend wanted to get hot pot and he suggested to go here because he saw that they had outdoor dining. Once we arrived, we realized that they didn't open outdoor dining for dinner. Probably because it's cold and nobody wanted to sit there? Ok, so we just had to eat inside. I ordered a premium beef with Taiwan satay broth. It didn't take them too long to bring our orders. I realized they have their own shape of hot pot that is the shape of a cat. That's pretty cute! What I like about this place goes downhill from here. The beef was not really cut for hot pot. They were too thick. They actually became tough once you cook them through. It's like three times the thickness of a normal hot pot beef slice that you could even get in a supermarket. On top of that the vegetable was not even cut to manageable size. I felt like they should give me a scissor so I could cut them myself. Were they that lazy to vegetables? My friend ordered a fried tofu as appetizer and it was not even crispy. All in all, the meal was just not great. At the end, both my friend and I agreed that we would not come back again. It's a disappointment because I used to have fond memories of this place. Maybe they have changed ownership? I am not sure why it has gone down so much. Anyway, it's sad to see a place that was once a good hot pot place to go down like this.

The waiters were nice. The soup has a nice flavor but the meat is a bit lower quality than before.

Great place. So, if you're looking to have a good conversation over good food, this is the place for you. Just beware that your jacket is gonna smell right after. If you're a meat lover, you should order trex. More meat, less veggies, same price. Good value forsure!

Went here for my first time 12/23/2021 it was amazing they have around 20 different types of soup bases! They have the option for more meat or more veggies with their Shabu. You can get away with spending 25-30 per person unless you want to get excess appetizers and desserts. The main meal itself is very filling. Most of their soup bases are pork but there are many that you can substitute as vegetarian. The meat quality is excellent. I tried the cream corn, it was amazing! They do free refills on broth but charge $1.25 for more rice. Overall it was a great experience and I would go back to try their other broths.

Loved the soup! We got a bit of everything...shrimp, lamb, steak. I tried the Taiwanese broth and it was spicy and full of flavor. It was great with all the meats. Loved the mushrooms and other veggies!

There are a lot of soup options for hotpot. My favorite sauce combo would have to be the ponzu and Thai spicy. The vegetables and meats were portioned very well. My friends and I all went for the t-rex option, which meant a bigger portion of the meat. It was a rainy day that night, which was probably why the place wasn't too crowded. For parking, its pretty difficult to park ground level, so you would most likely have to park in the underground parking lot. If you're in the heart of San Gabriel Valley, definitely give this place a try.

I was introduced to this place by my friend and former roommate Kenny. This place has great menu options, great food but also just the style and presentation. Having the meat and vegetables not already in the pot allow you to just eat at your own pace and not have to rush like boiling point before the jelly burns up. You get to choose your meat, the portion size, then the broth, and then the sauce(s). It's got hot plates so you can adjust the heat and enjoy your meal and music which isn't too loud. Their portion description is great, regular or T-Rex portions (less vege, more meat). Parking is underground because outside parking is usually taken. But definitely came back to this place a few times.
