Hot Pot Restaurants near Alameda, CA

“We initially tried to come here on a Friday at 7 PM but there seemed to be a long wait so we decided to check it out on a Wednesday and we only had to wait about 10-15 minutes for a table. This location was originally a Taco Bell, but I love the atmosphere there, friendly, good service and comforting food! It's a cozy place perfect for a cold wintry day to have your own little boiling hot pot of tasty broth and hubby and I thoroughly enjoyed our meals! Hubby ordered the Lau Pork Bone Marrow and I had the Lau Oxtail. I ordered the Oxtail without the tripe, just more oxtail! The hot pot came out boiling with oxtail and beef balls. All I had to do was cook the egg noodles, taro, tofu, cabbage, veggies into the soup as there was plenty of delicious oxtail and meat balls in the delicious broth! Great for a bone chilling night! Next time I'd love to try the shaken beef!“

“I've dined in 3 times so far and this recent time I came with a group of 7! Super friendly and the food came out quickly. If you love stinky tofu, get this hotpot and the fried stinky tofu. At the end of the meal, they give you a scratch card for some goodies!

Huge menu of hotpot, dessert, and boba. Clean interior and the perfect spot to catch up with friends and family“

“We heard breakfast is good here, but came closer to noon. We didn't see any time limits on the menu so my husband got breakfast any way.
He got the country scramble which came with generous portions. I got the California Club with side salad. It usually comes with fries, but I decided to skip the fries since I'm trying to cut back.
Food is fresh, atmosphere has a fun nautical theme, staff are friendly.
It appears they have a bubble drink and ice cream bar inside as well. Looks like it could be a fun hangout place, a grab and go option, or fun place to sit and enjoy a meal. Inside and outdoor seating are available.

Parking: There a free parking lot on the Santa Clara side of the building.

Wheelchair accessibility: Everything is on ground level.“

“a little expensive for hot pot- but the nice new restaurant feel and the quality of food makes up for it. The meat lover combo for $65 was plenty for two people. Service would really only show up when you placed a new order, and it was a little weird not to receive spoons or bowls (there is a separate self-serve counter for this and sauces) but besides that they were fine. Only rank atmosphere low due to a large amount of families with loud kids wandering the restaurant... cest la vie.“

“The first time eating this and it was amazing!!!! Delicious Delicious Delicious“

“Great place to watch, the all you can eat hot pot was great ,
They had a side bar with a lot of seasonings and flavors , was really good for the soup base! Definitely coming back again !

Kid-friendliness: They have variety here“

“So far so good. The duck blood is so tender n soft. They go by 15$ per pounds so u can pick anything you like. The soup base is very tasty and has a kick to it. Should have ordered spicy rather than medium spicy, cuz i like it spicy. Will come back.“

“I've been here with my partner a few times and it has always been a nice treat. The service and staff has always been super friendly and fast! I understand the QR code ordering can still be a shock to some, but I can say it has improved since the first time we've used it a few years back. It's fast, clear and I find it more convenient as I can always add to the order at anytime.

We were a party of 4 with one who only eats veggies. We ordered a split pot, premium beef combo, the big veggie combo, lotus, noodles, and fried tofu. The choices of broth are plenty. The mild, to me, is a bit spicier than usual so if you're not used to it, I suggest the normal broth and just add a little hot oil to your liking. That was perfect to start our table off. We added a couple of items later, but that was a good portion for 4 people. Lots of ingredients and broth choices. If you like more customization to your hot pot rather than an all you can eat business model, this place may be a better choice and in some cases, a better value.

After having been there more than a handful of times, I can safely say that I've never had a bad experience there. Always a great date night for me and my partner. With businesses coming and going in today's climate, I'm always happy to see this little corner spot in the mall still serving.

Vegetarian options: Lots of veggie options ala carte! My partner is vegetarian. The problem with all you can eat business model is that she can't eat most of the stuff yet paying a premium price. This place offers ala carte so we can do a split pot. She orders the veggies for her side and i can eat the meats on my side. Works out for the both of us!“

“Finally tried Jong Ga House for their AYCE Korean BBQ, and it was a delight! The variety of meats was impressive and perfectly seasoned. The sides complemented the BBQ well, especially the kimchi and pickled veggies. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure our grills were always sizzling. The only downside was a slight wait time, but it was worth it! Highly recommend joining their waitlist while you’re heading to the restaurant.“

“Hot pot is the name of the game. Great AYCE and AYCD (Sapporo and hot house sake) specials. You can upgrade to premium options and order a la carte, as well. They have a self-service bar where you can pick your own vegetables, ssam, sauces, etc. Staff are attentive, but if you wish for faster service, press the button on your table whenever you're ready to order.“
