Soups were yummy 😋They also have BobaA must go when I go visit Goleta again

Good food but the worst service in Goleta. The servers weren’t busy, I’m watching them stand around texting. We ate around the lull at 3:45 and the place was absolutely dead. Took 30mins just to get the check, was about to walk out.And the service button on the table does nothing when pressed.. just there for show

Nice and fast. When you order food the wait time is longer. Good food and good teas, lots of variety and flexibility with the menu. Employees are very kind and friendly. No waiting inside due to covid. A little hard to find the first time you go, but easy to remember

Consistently, every single visit, takes a whole hour to get our food out, and people that arrived after us with the same party size got their food first. This has happened every single time we’ve gone here, without fail, this place has failed time and time again, not even the food makes up for this poor service. Once the food came out, they only gave us 3 drinks and 1 soup, for a party of 7. They failed to give us utensils as well, I do not recommend this place for anyone local or out of town.

Waited 2 hours for my food, servers are so busy can really handle anything. Terrible speed.

One of my favorite places to get food! Lots of selections and its all always amazing.

The food here is simply delicious. The waiter had great recommendations. I ate the Korean Army Soup and it was wonderful. Only thing we didnt like was the music. It was too loud for outdoor seating and just had a generally weird vibe. Food was definitely worth it though!

Pretty much no service because they only has 1 person working. Walked in a honesty didn’t know if I seat myself or have someone seat me. Food was overpriced, the hotpot had very little meat maybe 3oz at most and filled up with veg. Not impressed

The girl behind the counter could not do basic math to give me the correct change.my drinks also took 15 minutes to make.

Roasted Oolong milktea here is pretty good. Also a nice spot to hangout.

Ordered their #1 Phresh Fruit Tea and Oreo Shake! First time trying it out and they were both good! Thry have multiple options, so I definately have to go back and try different ones. Youll also notice, they rate their popularity by the number. I didnt realize that after I ordered, and thougbt, if someone is listed as the first one, it hardly is a bad choic3. Truly enjoyed the tea with mango jelly.

Thai soup base with lamb was tasty. A little expensive. Good service.

The food was good but the service was okay. Employees didnt really seem to care.

It is greaaaat!!! Four people had two hot-pots and a grilled chicken and we all are stuffed! Tasty and money friendly! Love it!

My family loves their Thai Tea with boba.. Nice refreshing treat... And they deliver.. What😲

Taste good butToooooo expensive

Probably one of the best comfort food in Santa Barbara and Goleta. The waiting can be long sometimes but just because the food is that delicious. The hotpot are in really affordable price as well. The menu can be a little overwhelming however the servers do an awesome job to guide through the menu.

I asked for a recommendation for lunch. I was blown away by the flavors and little surprises in this spicy soup! I had enough for lunch the next day which was just as good!

Ftf, the service is wonderful. They are patient and friendly.Amazing mini hotpot in the town! Angus beef with tomato soup is unbelievable! The rice on hot plate is okay.It takes me 10 mins to wait for popcorn chicken from Teas side but it is definitely worthwhile to wait!

The best home made popcorn chicken, and the ube drink is really good and was suggested

Really enjoyed the passionfruit tea. Axxess 2021 accepted.

Great place to get boba, they have drinks that have fresh fruit chunks. It is the only place in Santa Barbara that has Ube flavor hot and cold drinks and it is a must try.

Worst service in Santa Barbara ever. Didn’t feel welcome when we stepped in. The girl who served us was in a bad mood or something. We got no service whatsoever. Despite the fact the place was pretty empty for lunch, she managed to sit us at a very uncomfortable corner against a wall. The food was meh, my lamb was a brick of ice, they didn’t bother to unfrozen it. Very overpriced. When we pay the check, no thank you was given. I was nice enough to leave tips. Will never come back.

Really enjoyed the food, and the manager was very attentive and pleasant. Were sure to return soon.

Milk tea here are great, one of the best in Santa Barbara. The small hotpot is only okay, not as good as some in LA.

Great popcorn chicken

Lmk mlmk mm lj mm mml

Good food, generous portions for the price. Boba with dinner always a welcome addition!

Food was Ok. The smoothies were good though.

Excellent food and service!

Like the place. Milk tea is Good!

The popcorn chicken here is the best in town.

Good service with decent food and boba in GOLETA

Very clean and convenient spot. They serve large meals and for economical rates. We liked the food a lot and the staff members were very amiable and informative. I recommend this place.

Delicious bubble tea, one of my new favorite places

They have one of the best bobas in Goleta and best place to go have authentic hot pots.

Best boba ever

Very friendly customer service but theyre kind of slow!Very slow!!!!!!

We just love this place! It was packed out which shows people keep coming back for more. We ordered the hot pot with seafood and it was the best Ive ever had. It is also very entertaining as they bring a flaming pot right to your table. A fun place to bring guests.

I spent $15 bucks for a bow of cabbage soup form this place ....

I love Uniboil because i get to eat all your yummy food👍🙂😊.

From the first moment you arrive in that restaurant the stuff gives you a pleasant feeling. Very courteous waiters, it is a lovely place to enjoy with your friends or with your date. delicious cuisine, qualified chef de cuisine, decent pay and excellent service. Warmly recommended.

I love their tomato Hotpot with seafood

Very good hot pot place. Good portion to keep me filled with tasty broth and fresh ingredients. Popular place so be patient, come early get your name on the waiting list. Food comes pretty quickly once you place order. Enjoy.

The food looks good, but I swear this place is cursed. Every single time I have doordashed from this place has been a disaster. They are severely understaffed and as a result I always have to wait a ridiculously long time for my order and that always causes my on-time rating to drop. The one time they actually had my food ready, they hid it away and I waited 25 minutes only to find out it was ready all along.

Fun, interesting menu. If you enjoy spicy, Id recommend coming here! Its definitely great to enjoy with friends because the entire experience is fairly unique. Possibly a little pricey, but there is a whole experience that comes along with the meal so it evens out a bit.On to the food... The sizzling plate with rice is great, though the sauce is quite spicy (black pepper spiciness)... and HOT! You have to be very careful eating to not burn yourself on the metal plate. However the meat was delicious! Marinated/seasoned very well. It was a pity the sauce was so spicy vs flavorful because the meat was amazing. A bit hard to fully enjoy such incredibly hot food. The Korean Army stew is also good, but again, HOT! The stew contents are interesting with various textures and flavors. For the hot plates, after a certain point in your meal someone may come to put out the flame for you, but Im sure you can request it be put out sooner... I recommend! All the servers seem to have the fire-putting-out utensil on their aprons.Overall, this was a fun eating experience. Regarding the food, it felt as though spiciness was used as a crutch for flavor. The hot plate box was also too tall for me (below average height) and made it a little difficult to eat. It would be nice if they had the option for low tables or something. The difficulty with the height + the danger of the hot plate took away from the experience a little.The service was good and the servers were attentive and informative. It is not listed on the menu but there is an option for the sizzling plate with rice to have all the ingredients stir fried and brought out on a plate instead of on the hot plate. The server let us in on his preference which was that the hot plate was better and definitely more fun, but next time if I dont feel like dealing with the height, heat, or potential burns, Ill go for that option!**NOTE: If you are only going for drinks, go next door! No need to come into the restaurant area**

It was my first time there and I loved it. The menu is kind of confusing to understand the first time but our waiter helped us out. We ordered from their specials H6 and H5. They bring out the bowl on a wooden stand and it cooks in front of you. You then stir it a bit and can ask them to put out the fire. You can use the small handheld bowl to help you while you eat. Amazing taste!

The soup is great. I didnt expect them to basically use instant noodle type of noodles. I like that they are connected to a milk tea place, which was great. Overall it is a decent place to get food, the broth is really good. I had the spicy broth :)

I personally love the Szechuan spice broth. Lamb is usually my go-to. The servers are decently attentive but they can get busy and I think they are a bit understaffed. The food comes out quick though! And the variety is nice - mushrooms, different types of fish balls, various tofus, corn, cabbage, vermicelli, black fungus, and more!

Hotpots were really delicious and amazing. I got the satay base and it was great. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The restaurant is also attached to a nice boba place.

Horrible service ! I called in an order today for popcorn chicken and was told the wait was 10-15 min. When I arrived 10 minutes later, I waited another 30 minutes and watched people who WALKED IN after me and ordered the same thing, walk out with their order! I got my money back and left . Will never go there again and it’s a shame since I work within walking distance

Dont know if its authentic but love the food. No alcohol served. The spice jars were kind of dirty but tasted really good (not the jars but the spices themselves)! The waiters are mainly college kids but they try very hard to be attentive.

Take off.

First time visiting and even really trying a hot pot focused restaurant. Did not disappoint. Broth was excellent and I loved that you could add in all numbers of extras. I got two eggs and udon noodles with lamb. Even just having lamb on the menu impressed me. The flame went out on my hot pot without me noticing so I had to get it relit and took a while for my eggs to cook but overall it was excellent. Would be nice if they were able to serve some beer or sake with this great food. Ill be going back, love to see Asian food getting a foothold in Santa Barbara.

I go here at least once a week to get a drink -

The milk tea is awful, we ordered matcha latte and chia tea but they taste the same

The boba tea was really good. They had many board games and they also had really good popcorn chicken.

Service can be kind of iffy here, especially when they are busy. The food is generally very consistent but they also have weird stock issues, with whole series of dishes being unavailable for lunch, at opening. Overall, they are the best hotpot in town and offer alternative dishes, which I like.

One of my favorite places. I enjoy hot pot but also stopping in for a quick snack and tea.

I recently just moved from LA to Morro Bay, and this is on my drive to visit my hometown.I grew up in the San Gabriel Valley (626), Asian food heaven, and hot pot joints are at every corner. We even have a Uniboil back where I’m from. This place holds up to the location back in LA. The food hits the spot and their popcorn chicken is SO GOOOOD. I got the sukiyaki hot pot and my husband got the Korean Army Soup. We both enjoyed what we ordered.We arrived around 6pm and had no wait, but the service was still a little slow. It’s hard to flag down the staff and they don’t check on you at all. Most tables had service buttons on their tables, but ours did not unfortunately. Albeit the slow and inattentive service, they were very helpful and friendly. Maybe they are still figuring things out since they are still new, or maybe they are understaffed at the moment.Either way, we’ll be back whenever we’re in the area!Pro Tip: Arrive before 7pm to beat the dinner rush.

If you think of getting a boba dont come to this place. I also did not like the service.

This is my new favorite restaurant and Im vegan. I always get the veggie one. Very fair prices!

Delicious food and awesome service. Restaurant seating is bit congusted and tight.

I didn’t get the chance to expand my pallet at this place, but the food was not really worth the price. It’s extremely fishy, but I guess that’s how it’s supposed to be?

This is probably the best boba in town. The boba milk tea is sweet and the boba is chewy. The food is good too.

Very good service, friendly, one helpful staff, she taught us how to choose on the menu, served small broth samples, and the servings were in sizzling humungous bowls on top of flaming containers.

Good food!

Open for dine in. Five tables in the parking lot. 10-7-20

Best boba in Santa Barbara but they almost always run out of boba an hour before they close and have even run out during the day a couple of times

Pretty pricey for a menu of miscellaneous hot soups. Service is spotty as the restaurant was recently open for business and the serving staff are still new on the job.

Boba on one side and hotpots on the other. Many different options for both the hotpots and boba. Both are delicious and colorful.

Excellent food if you dont know what to have try the top ramen spicy. It delicious. #noodlesallday

Good hotpot, but the waiter was either new or just did not care about the diners.

Great place to go if you like spicy food

Havent been to the uniboil side but absolutely love the phresh fruit tea

Bomb food yo

Food is great, price is good and staff are friendly and informative!

A new place in goleta as of Oct 2018. I wish this restaurant opened earlier. It has lots of american chinese hot pots plus one korean hot pot which is called Army soop. Try the Army soup. you will love it.The price is a little high. 15 to 16 dollars before tax for one person serving.The servers are nice and responsive well.The restaurant has a roomy parking space too.The only downside is that it opened last month....We needed this kind of place in Goleta.

If you are in the area, and havent tried uniboil, you have to try it!

Delicious selection and wonderful boba. Try all the sauces!

Food is ok, not too expensive. Parking is free.

Everything Ive tried her is fantastic

Good hotpot spot . 1st one Ive seen in the Goleta/ Santa Barbara area

Super slow but super slow service ot take them 45 to give me ramen normally takes 10 min from scratch

True Asian Bobo drinks college student doing great business

Didnt open the doors cause Covid-19....

Very poor service, waited 45 minutes for our soups; also not much flavor just spiciness

Food is ok other than way overpriced and it forever

Food is great, ambiance is a bit low.

Are you high I didnt go there

Loved it! Delicious;

Yum! Extra spicy for the win! We had beef satay and chicken curry

So delicious. I will be here weekly.

Delicious!

Best boba

Good spot.

One word... delicious

Very delicious and good food.

Perfect hot soup and noodles
