Hot Pot Restaurants near Milpitas, CA

“The best and most authentic Chinese hotpot place. It's so good I came here 2 days in a row. Offers good variety of spicy and non-spicy soup options that are all extremely flavorful. The sauces are great, and very reasonably priced.
One of the best Chinese food places in the south bay.“

“authentic Sichuan hot pot with many unique items such as goose intestines, beef tripes, and pig brains. Highly recommend the shrimp stuffed bamboo fungus, beef strips, Chinese yam wide noodle, and fish fillets. Great side dish, dessert selections.“

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

“Visit: September 2024

It was cool to try a build your own malatang hotpot. They had a decent selection of options and staff was there checking and refilling frequently.

The food tasted decent, nothing super special I would say, and it costed quite a bit for 1.5lb bowl. The table we had was also very unbalanced. Food came with some grapes and 3 tokens to the next door crane machine store, which was nice touch“

“My family had a fantastic dining experience at Tasty Pot in Milpitas! We were thoroughly impressed by their quick and efficient service. When our daughter accidentally dropped a spoon on the floor, a staff member promptly provided us with a new one without any hesitation.

The customer service was exceptional, making us feel valued and well taken care of throughout our meal. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We sincerely appreciate the team for giving us an unforgettable and delightful dining experience.

We will definitely be back to this location. Highly recommend Tasty Pot for their amazing service and delicious food!“

“Nice place good serving staff“

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

“This is my go to place for a fily dinner with kids. They have excellent service and kid friendly. The apertizer and dessert is always free. The food quality is exceptional.

Kid-friendliness: They have free kids dinner and toy.“

“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!“

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

“Love when you can see and taste the quality!! ??✨

@taichipotshabu is hands down the BEST authentic Japanese shabu shabu in the Bay Area. Just look at the marbling on the meat and the richness of the broths. The best part, it’s AYCE! Service is amazing and they really make it feel like you’re having a comforting meal at home.“

“Was delicious!!!! the service they catered to us as it was our first time there and the experience was wonderful. It’s such a different place to eat. Food variety is incredible and very diverse. We left feeling well supplied and serviced. The atmosphere was wonderful. We will certainly return again great place I would give them more stars if they were available.“

“Amazing customer service , friendly staff.“

“Bay Area Snow!The weather is strange with clear skies on one end mixed with flooded highways and snow at the other side of town??‍♂️ well, either way, it’s hot pot weatherHeaded to San Jose’s Little Saigon for Vietnamese Hot Pot at Lau Hai SanSampled a rare beef salad, a Tamarind beef and their signature seafood hot potFlavors are spot-on and the noodles are bomb?

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

“I have indulged in a late lunch at Tabu Shabu twice. The staff did a great job of describing the options and preparation process, after learning it was my first visit. They checked in several times to ensure things were going well and offered advice. There are a variety of protein options and the vegetables gave "farm to table vibes." The meat was high-quality and the ponzu dipping sauce was delicious.

Parking: The parking directly in front of the restaurant is small and crowded.“

“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“

“food is delicious .friendly staff .we will definitely recommend and we will come back .amazing simple ambiance.we love it.“

“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.“

“Now offering all you can eat for $36.99 for dinner. I added specialty items frog legs for additional $3.99. So many selections beyond what we can order from the menu. Cold dishes including spicy beef jerky and spicy clams. More items like different meatballs, seafood, beef skewers, vegetables in their refrigerator that customers can pick themselves. Really worth the price. I spent around $30 for non- AYCE hotpot restaurant. Highly recommended to come here for dinner, more selections. The american wagyu itself worth the extra price.

Vegetarian options: They have lots of vegetable selection as well.“

“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 good and has a good selection and lunch deal while providing tea. But we still prefer boiling point.

Tried the garlic butter noodle and it was heavy. It went well my partner’s tomato hot pot, but I probably won’t order it again.

I think I’m just too white washed so I’m not used to things like pork blood yet.“

“The food is FANTASTIC. If you enjoy spicy food, get the Sichuan broth, but beware that even the Medium Sichuan broth is SPICY AF, so if you don’t have the stomach for it, get either the mild one or another broth. The angus beef was perfect, and the udon noodles had great texture too. HIGHLY recommend the Cilantro Ponzu sauce - it adds a fantastic depth of flavor.“

“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.“

“Solid food that's centered on a Taiwanese menu but mixed in with a bunch of other Asian cuisines, like Korean Army Stew. They have a super extensive hot pot menu, and the spicy dishes are truly spicy.

Prices are very reasonable and quantities are large. Service is solid too. I'll definitely be coming back!“

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

“I was initially concerned about the quality since it’s an all-you-can-eat restaurant, but I was pleasantly surprised! The meat was fresh, and the fruits were sweet and refreshing. You have the option to choose between hotpot or Korean BBQ, which is fantastic. I opted for the hotpot, and it was delicious. As a Korean, I found the napa kimchi wasn’t up to par, but the cucumber kimchi was excellent. There is a 90-minute time limit, so keep that in mind. The only thing that could have made the experience better would be if the drinks were complimentary. A tip for future diners: make sure to register on the waiting list beforehand, as it gets quite crowded after 6 PM. Overall, a great dining experience with a fantastic variety of fresh food. Highly recommended!“

“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 manager contacted me the next day after I posted my original review on 9/14. He was professional and expressed sincerity and apologized. I was impressed how he handles the matter and wanted to make things right and will correct moving forward. Also he does encourage me to help them to address the problems I saw immediately which I think it’s a great attitude and philosophy that business owners shall have.

I would say if you are looking for good quality food for party and family this is still the place to go. Just pay extra attention when you pick up your food.

Thank you Home Eats.

I ordered 4 party trays last Saturday for my family dinner as I had good experience when I ate at the restaurant a few weeks ago. However the party tray food quality was a big disappointment with lots of $ charged. Here are why:

1. I asked for pick up at 5:30pm. Food were made ready at 5 pm. Clearly it became lukewarm by the time my sister took them home.

2. The salt and pepper fish filet order look like a big tray and half of them are not fish, just fried dough. Felt being cheated and scammed

3. The green beans with soy sauce wasn’t supposed to be spicy and the website picture doesn’t say nor show red hot pepper. However the dishes had tons of red pepper and way too spicy

4. The only two ok dishes are the onions with lamb and fried chicken wings

I will not order any party tray there ever again. I couldn’t address it with the company either as I need to take care of my guests first and I had to apologize to them and sadly no one asked where I get the food either.“

“Good choice for halal diet.

Variants of hotpot food materials.
Fried rice, fruits, dumplings, ice cream are delicious.
Meat options are limited, only beef and lamb.
Lamb is awesome, but sometimes beef is a little bit too lean.

The biggest complaint I have is still flys.
Where I occasionally saw them on the foods or table.

The new owner definitely improve this store a lot. If they could resolve the issues above, it will a popular place in east bay.

Vegetarian options: Yes

Dietary restrictions: Halal

Parking: A lot of space

“Absolutely Delicious. Plan to visit next trip.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Super yummy place for malatang and mala xiang guo. I am okay at handling spice but the 10 spicy was still okay for me. The mala xiang guo is super flavorful and comes out really quickly after you’ve chosen what you want to go in it. Would definitely recommend!!

This is a famous malatang (mara xianggu) restaurant!! It's not as spicy as I thought, so even 10 would still be delicious~“

“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“

“Shabuway used to be my friend and I’s favorite go-to hotpot place for a long time! However, in the recent year or so their prices have gone up—exceeding the average price of other nearby hotpot places. The veggie plate is also a little scarce. However, the taste and quality of the meat and broth remain top-notch and delicious. Their sauce also pairs very well with the flavors. Personally I love the spicy miso base! I would definitely recommend coming here if you don’t mind spending $30-40 for a meal!“

“My son recommended this place to me and to his girlfriend though he hasn't been in this place yet too. It was our first time and we highly recommended this place if you're craving for good and tasty food especially if you are a "soup, veggie and meat" lover.“

“The overall experience was okay. The food was good but it was overpriced for many items. I always prefer Vietnamese restaurants when dining, so I have visited a lot of them. This place was probably 7/10.Pros are:- many local VN dishes that are hard to find in the US like clams, snails and mussels- many tasty hotpot options for large groups- extensive menu like a VN family style restaurant- service was fast- spacious dining areaCons are:- way overpriced- seatings was quite cramped in spite of the space- pay with credit cards gets charged 3% not included in the bills unlike many restaurants

Vegetarian options: Not much veggie options.

Kid-friendliness: Kid’s high chairs and utensils“

“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.“

“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"“

“buena atención, muy buena comida, ambiente agradable“
