Hotpot Champ is a restaurant that offers a unique hotpot dining experience. Known for its viral Ferris wheel, the restaurant is located on the edge of Chinatown and provides over 60 items for a memorable hotpot. The flavorful broths are perfect for a rainy day, creating a great atmosphere for dining.
The service at Hotpot Champ is generally excellent, with friendly staff who provide good service. However, first-time hotpot goers may benefit from some guidance on how to order and cook, as some customers have found themselves figuring it out on their own. There have been mentions of the restaurant being understaffed at times, leading to longer waiting times for food and for refilling the sauce bar.
The food is delicious, with must-try items like meat wheels and meat boats, filled with lots of tasty meat. The sauce making bar is a cool feature, offering snacks like cucumber salad, peanuts, shrimp chips, edamame, and chicken feet for customers to enjoy. While some reviews note that the menu may have fewer options compared to other hotpot places, the overall experience at Hotpot Champ remains positive. Many customers believe it is a great place for hotpot lovers, making it a standout choice in San Francisco's Chinatown.
