Hot Pot Restaurants near Palo Alto, CA

“I feel cold little bit, so I needed GOOD CHICKEN SOUP to warm up. Their hotpot soup is made of chicken that has been cooked over 15-20 hours (based on their Manager). Best Soup ever!!

Moreover, the owner came to me personally and warmly asked about the service, as well as their upcoming holiday dish for Mid-Autumn Festival!! Highly Recommend to my friends and ppl here“

“So many options to choose from here! We loved everything we got, but the tofu dishes were the standout. FYI- I like to order directly from restaurants, but I think their website’s menu is outdated and we could not reach them by phone, so we ended up ordering via Uber Eats. Updated from previous review on 2025-04-27“

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

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

“Some of the best hot pot I have had and the customer service was great“

“This hotpot is pretty good! We have lunch special for 2 people and it’s less than $60 in total, but we have a lot as the pic below, 2 meets, 3 veggies, 1 entree, 1 plum pitcher and 1 free passion fruit pitcher. Also, the food is really fresh, and we just choose mild mild spicy which is just right. Previously, it’s very spicy even if we choose the least spicy level.
Happy to eat here for lunch ;)“

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

“We stayed past the closing time of the restaurant both times we've eaten here, and the staff never rushed us ! Love both their broths for the Hotpot, and I also liked their lamb wontons.
It was great that they accommodate for veggie versions of their most popular Hotpot broths.“

“Amazing HotPot highly recommended 👍“

“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.“

“06.14.25 Saturday
Fashion Wok = Home Eat
Excellent service from all staff, very good, hot, fresh food & beautiful location in downtown Sunnyvale! Parking in the back open complex gets full but across the street in the parking structure there's plenty of parking there.

Home Eat is best known for tasty chicken dishes, I would never recommend beef dishes. Their Mongolian Beef isn't good at all.

Today's fare (large portions!);
-Mapo Tofu: delicious and NO sugar added, as it should be
-General Tso's Chicken w.broccoli florets: delicious, sweet, with a tiny bit of heat
-A. Choy stir fried bok choy: ok, but their eggplant and string beans is much tastier
-Sesame Chicken: very good, sweet, no heat
-Kungpao Chicken: absolutely delicious, perfect flavor
-Cumin Lamb: only for those who love cumin
-Grandma Curry Wok: just ok
-Egg Yolk Fried Chicken Wings, like 12+ pieces: no. Smelled like egg yolk, was fresh but didn't taste good, wouldn't reorder or recommend
-Spicy Pepper Fried Chicken Wings, also 12+ pieces, also fresh but not tasty at all and also not one bit spicy.
***For fried flavorful chicken wings, just go to the Korean restaurants that serve them to light up your taste buds“

“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.“

“BEST HOTPOT FOR LAZY PEOPLE LIKE ME 🔥😳

Pick all your sides without leaving your table! It’s literally bottomless but for hotpot and bbq grill!! 😍😍😍

They got delicious quality meats and for just $5 more you can upgrade to my favorite Australian waygu and more! Pookie did not want to leave the whole day! 😯

Plus they have chicken wings and short ribs as side bar options! Meaning you don’t have to pay for them!!

Our little sibling loved the this place aside from the food they got play the games and free candy and yakult at the door!“

“Home eats is really good! Great food!“

“Delicious rice noodle soup at a reasonable price. Many flavors of soups you can choose from. One bowl of noodles rice is big enough for two people to share. Fried egg is a special combination with the soup.

We had a complimentary brown sugar tofu pudding during our 2nd trip for lunch. It's great value if you take the set menus or order it through Fantuan apps.“

“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!“

“Great food & service. Highly recommended to all . Clean & pleasant ambiance.“
