Sweet Home Cafe

One of the best hot pot restaurants in Honolulu. This place offers a Taiwanese flair on hot pot and it's absolutely delicious. The house broth is really nice and the summer garlic broth is excellent. Great selection of meats, dumplings, and vegetables along with a dozen or more sauces to complement. What's more, you get a large complimentary bowl of shave ice topped with boba, fruit and coffee jellies, and sweetened condensed milk, and it's wonderful. This location also has an all-you-can-eat option, which I recommend.

Five stars for food, service, and value. One star for parking. Small lot shared by a few small businesses. If you're in a rush...the parking will drive you crazy. But if you have the time...the wait will be well worth it. The miso butter soup was great. We've had a few others on previous visits. The selection of add ons is great too. My wife and I are pescatarians...and finding enough add ons is never a problem. And the shaved ice that comes with the meal is the perfect ending to a great meal. I highly recommend this place.

This is my favorite place to eat and it’s the best. Great deal on the hot pot, everything is because you only have 1 1/2 hour to eat and afterwards you get shave ice after your meal. There is a lot of options to choose and there is many options to choose from for your pot and options of soup base. There is also sauces to choose from as well. Just read the menu and you’ll see what deal you want to choose from. Totally recommend, very popular. The wait is not too long ether.

Awesome food selection from vegetables, seafood, to meats- everything was tasty! Beware to not put too much food into the hot pot because the food was filling with everything in there! For the AYCE option, you will be charged extra if there is too much food leftover & be mindful of the 90 minute time limit too! The complimentary shave ice at the end was yummy! My belly was oh so full when we left 😋

It's a hot pot place so be prepared to eat of course. We went with the all you can eat option which has a huge selection of items to add for free, however, the raw meats are sold as add ons. The all you can eat meal is timed, and while 90 minutes sounds long, it still felt a bit rushed. You get a 30 minute warning at which point they put a huge bowl of Taiwanese style shaved ice on the table. The desert was pretty good, but we weren't finished with our hot pot yet so it was kind of awkward. We definitely left full, but we've had better hot pots elsewhere for cheaper.

This popular and delicious hot pot restaurant will get you better acquainted with both the people you're eating with and the strangers that you are sitting two inches from and maybe backing your chair into. Stop by here for well-done, authentic hot pot served with a yummy, mandatory dessert. Do not come here for anything fancy. SHC stands out compared to the other hot pot offerings in Honolulu in terms of price and menu choices; it is on-par with most others in terms of food quality. The price here is good, but becomes great if you come between 4 and 6 during happy hour. Plates of vegetables, mushrooms, and seafood are $3-$5 -- you should expect to purchase about 5 plates per person. SHC offers 10+ interesting and creative broth options, more than other hot pot restaurants I have visited. The food at SHC is largely fresh and high-quality, this being said 1 of the plates I had tasted like it had been in the freezer too long. I am not subtracting a star for this because the overall quality was good and the restaurant is not expensive. There is an adjacent parking lot that fills up quickly -- do not park in front of the dumpsters or in spots labeled reserved (a car towed at this shopping center during my visit).

LOVE!!!! If you're dining with a group that's comfortable sharing a pot this is a great experience. We had two pots for a party of six and everyone was full by the end. The staff was super friendly!! It was very affordable even though we all got drinks. (Approx $17/person) Would go again in a heartbeat.
