Hot Pot Restaurants near Milpitas, CA

You can walk in at any given time and they will find you a table immediately. The place is very clean, and my family and I love it so much we go at least 2 times a week. If you’re ever looking for a hot pot place go here!“

“The soup is very delicious and traditional. That’s a nice experience when I am homesick during my long term business trip here.“

“Tried the new Mala Town in Milpitas. The place is big and clean, which is always a plus. The malatang was solid — I really liked the dry one with peanut sauce. Ingredients were fresh, and the staff were super nice. Overall, a pretty good spot. I’d come back.“

“Tasty Pot is a great spot for hot pot lovers. The food is tasty, the prices are reasonable, and the overall experience is very satisfying. The restaurant is spacious and comfortable, making it a pleasant place to enjoy a meal.

“A pay per pound hot pot spot where you just pick your ingredients and they make it for you.
It's a novel experience around these parts and honestly it's pretty decent.
Was a fun experience and while the food is pretty mid mostly, it's priced alright too so is worth a visit if keen.“

“Nice place good serving staff“

“we've been 3 times in the past few months and every time was great. we went the day after my wife's birthday, the same day our pet passed, and the staff made it a very special experience and distraction from our loss. absolutely recommend 110%. great food, great people, great experience overall.“

“It's not like China, but it's pretty good. It's like home“

“The service is outstanding, the broth is.. understated (don't drown the meat in a separate flavor), and the sauces/accessory items are god-tier. I've never even had soft serve ice cream this good. Not a single ice crystal in the ice cream!

Get the Sukiyaki broth. Spicy miso would seem like the most flavorful, but our group agreed Sukiyaki is better. Want spicy? Grab the infinite Thai chilis at the bar and add to the soup.

Also ponzu-garlic-onion is the best sauce. Fight me! Raw egg (pasteurized) is crazy good too if the flavors get too overwhelming.

I didn't even talk about the meats! Yeah wagyu is great, oyster is great, crab is meh, shrimp (sashimi and platter) is whoah, abalone isn't my thing (it's just all natural fish cake?). Bone marrow was surprisingly not my favorite for a first time experience.

Membership pays for itself after two visits. Get it!“

“They are wonderful people with a genuine care for serving food lovingly, they have a good amount of vegetarian options. Loved the housemade udon noodles and the litchi beer they serve. Best best people ever we stayed over 45 mins past their closing time and they had zero complaints, I absolutely love this place“

“We usually eat here and it is very good. The meat are fresh and the soup base is tasty unlike others“

“Zhangfei Hot Pot is such a great spot!
The ambiance is lively and welcoming perfect for a fun night out with friends or family. The broths are packed with flavor, and the variety of meats, seafood, and veggies is fresh and high-quality. Everything tastes even better when you cook it yourself at the table. The staff is super friendly and attentive, always making sure you have what you need and explaining the menu if it’s your first time trying hot pot. Overall, it’s an experience that feels both authentic and enjoyable. Definitely recommend checking it out!“

“Amazing customer service , friendly staff.“

“It's one of my local hotspots. I've been eating here since pre Covid. Good thing the business survived because this place has the hot Mongolian beef broth that I like. It's not too thick and not too much. Just enough portion for 1 person. Overall service is good. They have milk tea also. Recommended the England milk tea.“

“Great food but can get busy - they need a bigger place with more workers“

“Chi Xiao Guo seems to be gone. Now it’s Liu Yue Teppanyaki Cuisine. They don’t sell hot pot in summer, but the Teppanyaki cuisine is also delicious. It’s very similar to the signature Teppanyaki Noodles at Taiwan’s night markets. Love! Definitely will come again : )“

“Nice and fresh food, Warm to the Table, Friendly Staff There Also, next Time I will get the HotPot Cooking“

“I was here for a music event, and my group didn't know what to eat. We found this place online and went to get some food. Eric, our sever was AMAZING! Such a sweet guy, and was always coming back to our table to make sure we were having a good time refilling out waters and adding more broth when needed. Give that man a raise!!“

“I think this might be my favorite malatang place in Bay Area! They’re quick, the pork broth is so so excellent and rich and the sauce bar is perfect! The tea is strong, not sweet, and I can have it alongside Macu tea. I’m in heaven!!!

Kid-friendliness: Pork soup not spicy kids love it!“

“Tasty Pot is a wonderful franchise that offers a wide variety of pot flavors that often satisfy any culinary avenue. The De Anza location does not disappoint, and the delicious broth always satisfies by taste buds. I will can definitely see myself eating here again. Thank you for the wonderful experience!! Totally recommend.“

“The selection of fresh ingredients, from vegetables to meats, was impressive, and the medium spice level broth I chose was perfectly balanced with rich, savory flavors. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, making the dining experience smooth and enjoyable. Overall, it was a delightful and authentic taste of Chinese street food that I highly recommend.“

“Just had a dish of soybean seedling and it was surprisingly good! They had a perfect little crunch on the outside but stayed tender inside. The seasoning was spot-on—a nice savory, garlicky flavor with a hint of spice. It's a great simple side dish, super healthy-tasting, and feels light even when ate lots meats.“

“Semi self-service. (Raw) meat selection for the table & personalized soup base are brought to you; the remainder (veggies, tofu & seafood) come on the conveyor belt. You pick your own side-dish sauces (buffet style). All you can eat but limited to 90 min.

Meats were very fresh, as were the seafood, since we had an 11 am reservation (allowed for > 6 people; more on this below). Plentiful and speedy conveyor belt since we were the "1st shift" (get my drift?). I preferred shrimp & chicken (low fat), but was able to tear off the fat (yup, strip by strip if your diet tends in that direction) from the red meats. After a while, no one could tell what meats were on which plates! We thought the baby scallops were great: fresh and tender if you let it into the soup only for 15 seconds, yet they didn't toughen up if you left them in for a while. Shrimp: delicious & fresh, and you have a choice of shelled vs with the full metal jacket!

The variety of tofu was really good. The puffy rectangles were especially nice since they soaked up the soup and softened upon contact with moisture. There were sufficient greens to even things out. We saw a group of Buddhist monks in the queue, so you know it's possible to eat vegan here.

Some of the soup base selections were exceptional: tomato (so good!), mushrooms & Tonkatsu highly recommended (these all start with bone broth, I believe). Miso not so much (uninteresting). The soup gets more flavorful as the meal progresses, so it's better to get something not too intense.

We secured a reservation with 7 people, but personally, I wouldn't do this again. The seating for a big group still places the conveyor belt next to only 2 people, so now those closest to the belt must continuously serve the rest of the table. It's too much. Far better to break up the group into foursomes. However, I've heard that sometimes they stuff a lone customer onto a table for 3. How weird is that?

While the atmosphere is alright, the style of food service is such that it made for a feeding frenzy with no conversation (except to praise the food). If it's a visit you seek, this is not the experience you'd want. Or plan to visit another place afterwards.“

“Really great restaurant. We got two noodle soups and dumplings which were excellent and had a very authentic taste. The people working there were also super friendly - I dropped a chopstick and someone brought over a new set of chopsticks before I had even picked up the one I dropped. As someone who has traveled extensively in China I'd say this place brought back the most memories of great Chinese food and exceptional hospitality.“

“The food is very good The staffs are very nice, friendly, very helpful, very polite.“

“Home eats is really good! Great food!“

“my first time here. I really like it and the service is awesome!🤙“

“After returning from Japan, my daughter was craving authentic Vietnamese food, so we decided to take the whole family to Oc Lau Nuong. We have always enjoyed the appetizers here, and the prices are quite reasonable. The fresh oysters, crispy calamari, rare beef, and snails in coconut sauce are our go-to choices.“

“Don't let the parking lot fool you- this place is AWESOME inside!

They have a LARGE selection of ingredients to choose from for your hot pot as well as fruit, cake and freshly made ice cream for dessert. Drinks are included in the buffet price.

Staff are very friendly and helpful and explain things well. This was important for us as we had never been to a hot pot place before so we had no idea what to do😂.

They are open 7 days a week with lunch and dinner buffet. Call for hours and prices. We had lunch on a monday and before tip for 2 of us it was $44.95.

Definetly recommend!“

“Good food, service and clean, well lit restaurant. Tried a variety of items. You scan a qr code and order from the table. We had the onion pancake (good, a little oily as expected), dumplings (tasty), dry beef bowl (nice mix of veggies and beef. Has peanuts and fries), green pepper fish noodle soup (photo on menu does not match dish and the green pepper isnt bell pepper, it is a little spicy) and lamb skewers (well seasoned). Would be nice to have the smaller items (dumpling, pancake, skewers) served first as an appetizer and the larger items as main dishes. Items were served as they were ready so we got the dumplings served last

Parking: Mall parking“

“Great food and experience!“

“The mam mam chicken is amazing,one of my fav, if you're Asian. It has mam rouc/lemon grass/peppers. I also had the pha Lau pot, that was good , well seasoned, not bland. The mam rice and beef was also tasty, I give this place thumbs up.“

“This place is unique because it serves many different dishes than Traditional pho restaurant.

The service is excellent. Very impressed in a Vietnamese restaurant to get such great service. The server literally observe how we eat and started brining sauce and chili sauce to us without even asking. And offered hot water on a cold day.

The fried rice - it's not bad. I've had better in Chinese restaurant. The way I would make it differently is to use oil to fried the anchovies pieces and mash some of them into the oil and the rest in crunchy cube and then stir fry the chicken and the rice with those oil. It'll be much tastier.

Octopus was neat. It's the baby octopus and not the big octopus legs. It does depends on the sauce for its flavor not as strong. Suggestion would be using a honey/chili sauce to stir fry at the end to coat it with some sweet and spicy flavor.

They have many other dishes, I hope I can try it next time I'm in the area.“

“There were a lot of choices, but ended up getting a standard option from the menu - totally forgot what I ordered.However I do remember the how everything tasted. Hope you like spicy too… it was intense but good.I was recommended the herbal tea as well to quench the inferno, which was a great recommendation.This place is a counter inside a food court, so don’t expect a fine dining ambiance.Definitely coming back again.“

“Very delicious, very good, highly recommended“

“One of the best Shabu Shabu in the area 😋“

“Warning: spicy means painful and they have no milk-based anything. Thankfully some lady came in there selling melon fruits. normally I wouldn't buy from her but we were desperate for relief. You might want to sneak in some ice cream from a nearby shop.“

“Best soup that I experience in my life"“

“Amazing place for yakitori food, chef Sherman really knows quality and simplicity for yakitori food. I highly recommend this place especially when you get togethers with great friends. 5 stars out of 5“

“buena atención, muy buena comida, ambiente agradable“
