Hot Pot Restaurants near Palo Alto, CA

“We had such a wonderful dining experience here! The seafood was incredibly fresh and beautifully presented. The oysters were especially impressive, fresh from that morning, and the geoduck was crisp, sweet, and delicious. The crab was rich and full of roe, the shrimp were excellent, and the beautifully marbled beef was tender and perfect for the hot pot. Even after we were completely full, the oyster omelet at the end was so good that we somehow found room for more!

What really made the evening special, though, was the service. Vivian was incredibly warm, friendly, and attentive. You can tell that a lot of care goes into both the ingredients and the presentation of every dish. Our whole group felt very welcomed and well taken care of.

Fresh ingredients, generous portions, beautiful presentation, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere for gathering with family and friends. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended!“

“Four Seasons Tea House Hot Pot offers one of the more unique hot pot experiences I've EVER had. Rather than relying solely on rich, heavy broths, the restaurant's tea-infused approach creates flavors that are aromatic, balanced, and surprisingly refreshing throughout the meal.

We ordered an oolong tea base, with an assortment of ingredients such as tripe, mushrooms, and other assorted vegetables. The quality of the ingredients stood out immediately. The meats were fresh, well-presented, and paired beautifully with the broth selections. What I appreciated most was the attention to detail—from the presentation of the tea leaves to the thoughtful preparation of each ingredient. The experience felt elevated without becoming overly formal.

The atmosphere strikes a nice balance between modern and cozy, making it a great place for both small gatherings and special occasions. Service was attentive and knowledgeable, with staff happy to explain the different broth options and offer recommendations.

Four Seasons Tea House Hot Pot manages to distinguish itself from other hotpot chains through atmosphere creativity and execution, and has been one of my favorite dining experiences to date.“

“AYCE for $20 is the best deal I got. But you must be at least 2 parties. Only opening time to 4p.m.
Variety of vegetables, meats, side dishes and dessert. Quality of meats are good. The pork, lamb, meatballs are my fav.
I tried the Spicy bone broth and house bone broth, both are good. Spicy is not too spicy for me.
Sauce is extra charge but only $2. Soda is refillable. Overall, 10/10 AYCE with the price,but I don’t like the way they do the AYCE for only at least 2 party.“

“Amazing hot pot experience! The food was fresh and delicious, and there were so many ingredients to choose from. The broth was flavorful, and everything tasted great when cooked together. I also loved the atmosphere—it was lively, clean, and perfect for a fun meal with friends or family. The staff were friendly and attentive as well. Definitely a place I’d come back to again! 🍲🥢❤“

“They moved down the block and is called Home Eat.

still the same employees, ask for the weekly deals.

The dishes were a little different, so we thought they had changed owners.

ONLY get dishes from the weekly specials else it is too expensive. The pork bone soup is good, more spices than the old location. Get ready to use your hands. Beef roll has actually good beef, sometimes other places is just unseasoned fat.

Would come back, but because of prices, generally 3.5 stars.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Beyond average but missing some to push it to GOAT territory. The dining experience is very Chinese, from the way you order to how they structure the menu to how the dishes are served I feel like I'm back in PRC. Which could be good or bad depending on person. I ordered the signature spicy noodle combo. I agree with other reviewers that the noodles are the weakest link they are way too soft and wimpy. The soup base is good with the distinct spicy profile but the ingredients in there doesn't really get the taste integrated, they all just fell flat. Prices are on the slightly expensive side but portions are big, two people of average appetite could easily share a combo, and they have a condiments aisle you can add cilantro peanuts or whatever unlimited. Kinda weird for the noodles tho since they are already heavily seasoned, it's more of a hotpot thing. But I added some fried peanuts into my noodles nonetheless. Service was OK and vibe is family / locals.“

“Whoa, hot pot all you can eat, AND kbbq all you can eat. That already got me excited. The salad bar has like 10 different sauces, pickled radish, fruit, and that sealed the deal for me. I love this Seapot place! The lunch deal is like $26, dinner is $36 ish i think.“

“Amazing HotPot highly recommended 👍“

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

“Great food and experience!“

“Superhot Hot Pot & Korean BBQ offers a fun and interactive dining experience that combines the best of hot pot and Korean barbecue under one roof. The all-you-can-eat format provides a wide variety of meats, seafood, vegetables, noodles, and side dishes, allowing guests to customize every part of their meal. Ingredients appeared fresh, and the selection was extensive enough to satisfy different tastes and preferences. The Kalbi short ribs, premium steak, beef brisket, and spicy lamb were especially enjoyable, while the hot pot broths added plenty of flavor. For those with a sweet tooth, the fried bun with condensed milk was a nice way to finish the meal.
The atmosphere is lively and energetic, making it a good choice for gatherings with friends, family dinners, or celebrations. Staff members were attentive and responsive when replacing grills, refilling items, and answering questions. Despite being busy, service remained organized and efficient throughout the visit. The restaurant's spacious layout helped create a comfortable dining environment, even during peak hours.
One of the biggest strengths of Superhot is the variety offered for a reasonable price. The ability to switch between grilling meats and enjoying hot pot creates a more versatile experience than many traditional restaurants. Whether guests prefer seafood, beef, noodles, or soups, there is something for nearly everyone. The combination of quality ingredients, generous selection, and welcoming atmosphere makes this a place worth revisiting.“
