Hot Pot Restaurants near Milpitas, CA

“Uniquely decorated Chinese hot pot restaurant, located in the Milpitas Square shopping plaza. The meat and veggies were fresh, and the large sauce station offered a wide variety of ingredients for you to create a personalized, custom dipping sauce. Several levels of spicy soup to choose from. Definitely one of the better spicy hot pot places in the South Bay. Fast and efficient service. Large free parking lot.“

“I got the normal broth, medium spicy, and it was very flavorful, not too spicy. Only thing is the beef shrinks a lot in size after it’s cooked so keep that in mind when filling your bowl. It’s a bit pricy, I paid about $30 for my bowl, however it was a large portion“

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

“I do not like Chinese food - usually too oily. But THIS food is AWESOME for me! Especially the hot sour soup (perfect tang) and the Fried rice (light and fluffy, delicious flavor). Also great was the orange chicken (not too sweet) and he sauce on the broccoli was so buttery(?). I WILL order again. Union City.“

“There are quite a few repetitive hot pot ingredients, it would be nice to have more variety. The overall flavor is fine. However, the extra meat slices I ordered weren’t very impressive, they were just boiled and completely unseasoned. It seems they’re meant to be eaten with the hot pot but it would be better if they were served together with the hot pot instead.“

“Great place for malatang style eating where you select your own food and portion. I love eating the vegetables there so I choose all the veggies I love to eat only. They also have a number of meat that are pretty good for your soup as well. It feels like you go shopping and they cook for you.

Once select your food and select your soup type that you want, they will cook it for you and bring it to your table. Medium spicy can be a bit spicy for some people so choose wisely.

Depends on how much you get but it could range from $15-22/person. I normally get about 1 pound of food which costs around $20. There is not much service since it’s pretty much self service.

The place is fairly clean and decent. Could be cleaner but not bad considering the traffic.“

“Nice place good serving staff“

“I'm a wagyu enthusiast, and while I generally think wagyu is not worth it in hot pot. The ayce and happy hour options make it worth it.

Psa, do NOT order the sushi. I wouldn't order it even if it was free. It does not look like the image, and it tastes like low quality fish“

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

“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.“

“Pretty solid. Quick service. Really attentive. We went when it was a bit slower so it was a little awkward with them hovering by, but I get it. Lots of options the ayce is kind of pricey but if you're coming hungry I think it's worth it. Really appreciate the condiments already being at the table for sauces. Would definitely come back, but maybe for happy hour, for the price discount.“

“Had an awesome time at Happiness Hot Pot! The flavors are bold, the veggies and meat are super fresh, and the broth is just perfect. Great vibe, friendly staff, and everything just makes you feel happy while eating. Definitely coming back for more! 🍲❤️“

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

“Amazing customer service , friendly staff.“

“Great hot pot experience! The price was $34.99, which felt reasonable for the variety and quality. The soup base was flavorful, and the dipping sauce went really well with everything. They also offered a drink for writing a review, and the drink was very refreshing — it paired perfectly with the hot pot, especially while eating something warm and spicy. Overall, a satisfying meal and a nice place to come with friends.“

“Delicious hot pot is served at this restaurant in Sunnyvale. Ordering process is easy through a touchpad at your table. The soup base is perfect if you like spicy, and all the dishes were fresh but the portions can be on the small side. Festively decorated interior, along with fast and efficient service. Large free parking lot.“

“Let me start by saying this — I have a pretty picky palate, and most restaurants I try don't really impress me. But this place is hands down my favorite restaurant in the U.S. The food is delicious, full of character, and incredibly affordable. At this price point, it's easily one of the best restaurants in the entire country.

Their Thai seafood hot pot and shrimp cupcake are absolute must-orders.

The Thai seafood hot pot comes with a generous amount of fresh seafood. The shrimp is average, but the squid, scallops, clams, and mussels are all excellent. The tangy and spicy Thai broth keeps your taste buds on edge and your appetite constantly stimulated.
I recommend getting the yellow noodles — they're chewy and springy, and taste amazing when soaked in the broth. If you find the noodles too firm, just toss them into the hot pot for a minute or two — they'll absorb even more flavor while softening just the right amount.

But what really makes this place special is their shrimp cupcake. I’ve never had anything like it at any other Vietnamese restaurant — and many places don’t even offer it.
The crispy shell and savory shrimp pair perfectly with refreshing green papaya slaw, fragrant herbs like perilla, Thai basil, and mint. Wrap it all in a big piece of fresh lettuce, drizzle some sweet-and-sour fish sauce on top, and take a big bite — you’ll feel like you’ve been instantly transported to Southeast Asia. The flavor profile is complex yet balanced, and the fact that you can enjoy it at such a low price is truly unbelievable.
Even the vegetarian version is fantastic — it may not have the shrimp's umami, but it still packs so much flavor that it’s totally worth trying, even if you're a vegetarian.

Their stir-fried dishes are also excellent — whether it's clams stir-fried with Thai basil or snails in creamy coconut sauce, you’ll be craving more with every bite.

If you’re coming with another guy, I highly recommend getting a medium-sized Thai seafood hot pot and one shrimp cupcake to share — for just around $30 total, you'll be blown away by how much quality and flavor you get for the price.“

“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“

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

“Food are delicious. especially their soup. friendly staff and clean restaurant“

“If you are into spicy hotpot, this is the best tasting place in the Bay Area I have found so far. The service can be slow if it’s crowded, and the environment is average. But who cares? We are here to eat some good food, not stare at the decoration.“

“Malatang is a street food/soup which is traditionally served really spicy and steaming hot, and you get to pick what gets added into the soup. At Old Street Chengpan Malatang you not only get to customize the soup by choosing the type of broth, the meats/proteins, and the veggies, but you also get to choose your spice levels. This selection process/customizing can be really fun and adds another layer to the experience. If you have never had a malatang before, I highly recommend it. It makes for a delucious shared experience with family and/or friends.“

“I ordered Taiwanese Supreme Spicy one with mild spice which is not spicy, taste so good. They offered free iced green tea, its refill. I went there lunchtime so there’s a line. It comes with rice or vermicelli. Potion is good, can be shared by two people.“

“Super chill lunch spot and unbelievably fast service. Huge menu options and still comes out flavorful. Lunch vibes are peaceful and layout allows to chill vibes while enjoying good food. If there Chinese dish you want, they will have it. Order at the table style so super easy for larger groups. Parking is in the middle of a shopping complex and Sunnyvale so when it gets busy hard to find parking but there are spaces available around the area. Overall a really nice Chinese food spot that would definitely visit again.“

“They have more soup choices than other places. We had tried mushroom soup and herb chicken soup. Both are tasty and not as salty as other places! The meat look less fatty, too!
They provide cold water and unsweetened cold red tea. The paper cups are by the checkout counter.
There are plenty of seats available in the food court and the space between seats are wider, too!“

“Amazing HotPot highly recommended 👍“

“Food are delicious. especially their soup. friendly staff and clean restaurant“

“We recently visited this Seapot and had a great experience! Our party chose the premium combo with both BBQ and hot pot, which gave us plenty of delicious options to enjoy. We tried different soup flavors, and each one was flavorful in its own way.

One of the best parts is the wide selection of ingredients available on the running conveyor line. There were plenty of seafood, mushrooms, vegetables, other toppings to choose from. Whether added to the hot pot or grilled on the BBQ, everything tasted fresh and delicious. As the ingredients cooked, the broth became richer, sweeter, and incredibly flavorful.

The prices are very reasonable for the quality and variety offered. We enjoyed everything from start to finish and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a fun and satisfying hot pot and BBQ experience!“

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

“Shabutime was such a great experience and easily one of the best Japanese hot pot spots I’ve been to so far.

This was my second time ever doing hot pot and my first time trying a Japanese-style hot pot, and it completely changed my perspective. Everything felt very organized and easy to follow, which made the whole experience way more enjoyable.

We ordered the beef toro belly and the seafood combo, which came with a full spread of vegetables. For broths, we went with the yukisaki and spicy Sichuan, and both were really well balanced and flavorful without being overwhelming. We also added vermicelli and udon noodles, which soaked up the broth perfectly.

What stood out to me was how satisfying the meal actually was. I’ve done hot pot before and left feeling like I didn’t really eat enough or get the full experience, but that was not the case here. Everything felt complete and well thought out.

They also have a solid selection of sauces and add-ons, which really let you customize each bite.

Overall, super impressed with the quality, the setup, and how smooth the whole experience was. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to.“

“Amazing little Vietnamese restaurant that stands out among the sea of Vietnamese cuisine here in San Jose. We had the Conch Salad, grilled razor clams with scallions, tamarind shrimp, and butter blood clams.

All of the dishes were incredible and very fresh, with generous serving sizes and quick delivery. My favorite was the tamarind shrimp but all tasted great. The conch salad was super refreshing on such a warm sunny day, and the shrimp in tamarind sauce were just perfectly tangy and tender.

When I’m home in San Jose, I want good authentic Vietnamese food that you can’t get anywhere else beyond the Bay Area and Vietnam, I don’t want to waste my time with gentrified and overly Americanized food.

Oc Lau Nuong is definitely and firmly going to sit on my food priority list for when I’m visiting home for great seafood at really great prices.“

“Great Xinjiang hot pot restaurant! I really enjoyed the welcoming service and great hospitality. Food was great and food was tasty. I was amazed that the meats especially the beef near balls. The beef tasted like organic beef. Fried rice was tasty and cold hoodies were good. A pitcher of hot tea was provided with the meal which paired well with the hot pot meal. They had a variety of fruits to end the meal. Price was reasonable for thus all-you-can-eat Xinjiang hot pot restaurant.“

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

“Great food and experience!“

“Vietnam Town in San Jose is located in the heart of Silicon Valley, where more than 100,000 Vietnamese people live in the surrounding area. This location is a popular weekend destination, with many shops and restaurants open to serve customers.“

“Went on a Sunday between lunch and dinner, right at the end of happy hour. Only like 3 other tables sat during this time and service was exceptionally attentive. Got 2 cocktails and our waters were never empty! Sauce bar is diverse, and the revolving selection rotated the right speed. My husband got the Tom Yum soup which was great but their Mushroom was sooooooo good. I've been craving another visit already!“

“Highly recommend the signature sauerkraut fish soup. Broth is full of flavor and they give a decent amount of fish slices plus other ingredients. They have an option for two portions in a larger bowl that’s cheaper than ordering two separate portions, if you’re willing to share from the same bowl.“

“Very delicious, very good, highly recommended“

“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“
