Hi House Shabu Shabu Grill - Irvine

Great food with reasonable price. Lamb BBQ, eggplant with garlic and rice cake ban were tasty ???Food: 5/5

Surprise how dead it was for lunch time in Irvine but everything seemed perfectly fine for our meal which was shrimp chow mein.Food: 4/5

Fairly friendly staff, but the food is awful, overpriced and unfresh, especially the semi manufactured lamb skewers taste like rubberFood: 1/5

We just moved to Irvine, CA from Seattle and would like to try some Chinese food in Irvine.My wife told me that Hi House promotes the product Champion Beef Noodle Soup 紅燒冠軍牛肉麵 . Free Refill for Noodle and Soup. Since my kids love noodles, I would say it is a good deal.We went there twice.First time: We ordered the Champion Beef Noodle Soup 1 bowl for my 2 kids, but the soup was mild spicy. But it was fine for them. They enjoyed eating noodles especially free refill.My wife ordered Tomato Beef Noodle Soup 紅燒番茄牛肉麵 and she really loved it.Second time: My kids still wanted to have Champion Beef Noodle Soup. This time, the soup a little bit spicy compared to the dining experience for the first time. They did not like it.Suggestion:1. Since free refill is the good marketing strategy, why not create a kid's menu where they can enjoy eating, but the soup can be either non spicy or mild spicy?2. Please make non spicy soup for kids if they love it.Will go back definitely.

I wanted to give this place a try since I've never been here.The food is OK but way over priced for the portion size compared to many other Chinese restaurants. Considering that rice and noodles are very low cost items, the price is outrageous. The Chow Mein is mediocre.Sorry but, I won't be coming back here.
