Hot Pot Restaurants near Mountain View, CA

“if you're looking for a well-rounded hot hotspot, then this is the place because they have amazing options for meats, veggies, and sauces! Most importantly for me in determining if a spot is fire would be the soup base - which this place has really good ones. at first, I was pretty skeptical about the tea being infused with my soup but if you are a spicy lover like myself you know the feeling of feeling really bloated or heavy after a meal with the spicy soups. because there's tea in views, I feel like it cuts out some of the fat, and it makes your meal that much more enjoyable.

their service is attentive and quick/their ordering workflow is through the qr code which cuts out the time of waiting. The downside I've noticed after coming here a couple times is that sometimes they do run out of stuff (meats/noodles/veggies) but for the more popular options it has been consistently available.

10/10 would recommend this spot for friends/couples/solo dining. I think the place is a bit smaller so sometimes fitting a stroller and or smaller kids might be harder but doable.

there's no private parking lot, but there are a lot of public parking lots nearby - thats short distance and street parking as well.“

“Little Sheep broke up their company and now there are various Happy Lambs under new ownership - some are not so good - this one is excellent and worth the trip - Id say its even better than rhe original Little Sheep on Stevens Creek which eventually turned into a Happy Lamb but was very sub-par and is now gone - stick with this one in Mt View. Avoid the ones in Boston (see my other review). Come off hours or you’ll be in line forever.“

“Super Pot in Mountain View is one of those spots the boys are always down to wait for. We pulled up knowing there’d probably be a line, and sure enough, we waited about 15 to 20 minutes. Honestly, it never feels that long because you already know it’s going to hit. Once we were seated, ordering through the QR code was stupid easy. No flagging anyone down, no confusion. You just tap what you want and it starts rolling out. And when I say fast, I mean fast. Our first round came out in about 2 to 4 minutes. That kind of turnaround makes a huge difference when you’re starving.

The staff is on it too. They were attentive the whole time and swapped out the BBQ grill the second it started getting too charred. That’s clutch because nobody wants burnt flavor ruining good meat. The sauce combinations are fire. I tried the peanut butter dip and low key thought it would be weird, but it actually worked. Sweet, savory, and perfect with the grilled meats.

And the fact that dessert is included in the price? Say less. For the quality, speed, and overall vibe, it’s a solid deal. Super Pot is one of those dependable spots where you can catch up with the boys, eat heavy, and leave satisfied without feeling like you overpaid. Always a good move.“

“My first visit to Mikiya was shortly after they opened. The food and service were decent, but a 45-minute wait past our reservation time left a bad taste, figuratively speaking. I wasn't sure I'd be back.

I'm glad I gave it another shot. This time we came to celebrate a visiting friend, and Mikiya more than delivered. The menu has noticeably improved, we were seated promptly, and our server Zac was the kind of hospitality professional who makes a meal memorable. Friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without being overbearing, his recommendations were spot on and genuinely elevated the whole experience.

It's clear the team has put in real work since opening. I'm signing up for the membership and already looking forward to the next visit.“

“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.“

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

“AYCE Shabu Shabu with the bonus option of ALL YOU CAN DRINK! I love that this place has a 3-compartment pot for the broth so we were able to try Signature Creamy Tonkotsu w/ Black Garlic Oil, Tom Yum Tonkotsu, and Sweet Tomatoes (wasn't a fan). So whether you plan to do AYCE or add on the AYCD, you're guaranteed to be warmed up at this place.

“Zhangfei Hotpot in Fremont is an absolute gem! I've been searching for authentic, flavorful hotpot in the Bay Area, and this place truly delivers.
We opted for their classic Spicy Mala broth, and it was incredibly aromatic and delicious – perfectly balanced with numbing peppercorns and a rich, spicy kick. It genuinely transported me back to the hotpot experiences I've had in China! The selection of ingredients is fantastic; everything from the tripe and duck intestine to the fresh vegetables was high quality and cooked beautifully in the broth.
The sauce bar is incredibly well-stocked, offering a huge variety of condiments to customize your perfect dipping sauce. You can go classic with sesame oil and garlic, or get creative with their extensive options.
The ambiance is also lovely – a clean and comfortable space with a nice blend of traditional and modern decor, making it great for a casual meal or a gathering with friends.
Value for money is excellent too. Considering the quality of the food and the service, I felt it was very reasonably priced.
Overall, I highly recommend Zhangfei Hotpot to anyone looking for an authentic and delicious hotpot experience in Fremont. You won't be disappointed!

“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.“

“Amazing customer service , friendly staff.“

“This is one of the closest hotpot place to Stanford. We chose a two-person package for $89, including 2 bobas, two plates of beef, one plate of lamb and seafood, one plate of noodles and vermicelli, one plate of tofu, and one sweet. That's more than enough food but we finished it!Unique small individual pot, only wish it was sunk in the table. It has the basic sauces and spices, wish there is more.“

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

“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.“

“Absolutely loved Tasty Pot Hot Pot! The broth options are rich, flavorful, and comforting, and the ingredients are always fresh and high quality. The portion sizes are generous, prices are reasonable, and the service is friendly and efficient. Perfect spot for a cozy, satisfying meal especially on a cold day. I’ll definitely be coming back! 🍲🔥“

“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 👍“

“We love this place! We’ve been here a few times, and the food never disappoints us. The restaurant is very spacious with a large variety of food. The flavor is very authentic. Malatang tastes great and comes with plenty of meat and veggies. I highly recommend the brown sugar rice cakes.“

“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.“

“Home eats is really good! Great food!“

“I want to gatekeep this place, but I want this restaurant to do well. We've been eating here for a few years, their drypot can't be beat. It's really delicious. You pick what you want to go in, and pick a spice level, and they'll cook it for you. Dining in also comes with a nice complementary sweet tea, which helps with the spice. We usually get it with rice. They're a good spicy for casual spice eaters. Probably not stupid spicy for those who really fixate on it.“

“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!“

“The environment is clean and comfortable, with a nice atmosphere. The service was excellent — the staff were friendly and attentive, and the food was served promptly. The dishes were delicious, the ingredients were fresh, and the portions were generous. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely come back again!“

“Very delicious, very good, highly recommended“

“Great food and experience!“

“Very authentic sichuan food. Good value in terms of portion and price. The owner is a very sweet lady is super friendly. She taught the secret of having spicy food. Should ask her about that next time when you visit.
Spicy fish fillet and the suchuan noodle are my favorite in this place.“
