Came on Chinese New Year and had a ton of fun with my gf and kid. We ate for over 2 hours and even ate the wheel

The service is soooo bad and rude, this place should be closed as soon as possible. The only reason you want to visit this place is to experience how bad it can be by yourself:)

By far the worst hot pot experience I have ever had. The service was awful right to start after we shuffled to sit upstairs like we were workers going to a breakroom. Then the food made the service not even matter because the meal was so disgusting. We did 2 broths one on each side. The tokatsu and the chicken broth. Tough to say which was worse because neither had any flavor at all. As you cooked your meat in this boiling flavorless broth with the broken heating system that kept turning back on. After the waitress finally checked on us and I asked if we were going to get any seasoning to make it less terrible she showed me a stand in the corner with some spicing. The only vegetable options were mushrooms, and corn to add also. All in all the worst dinner my friend and I even had. I had to put white rice in the pot to pray for some flavor ITS THAT BAD

Hot Pot Champ in SF is an absolute win. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is welcoming, clean, and lively—perfect for both group dinners and cozy catch-ups. What initially attracted us was the Ferris wheel presentation with the beef and lamb is suuuupppperr cute! Not only is it fun and eye-catching, but the quality of the meat was outstanding. Fresh, tender, and perfect for hot pot.

The broth options are rich and flavorful, I mix the tom yum with my husband’s spicy soup and the ingredients across the board are top-notch. Service was attentive, friendly, and fast without ever feeling rushed. They’re happy to explain options and make recommendations, which makes the experience even better.

Portions are generous, prices are fair, and everything just hits. Easily one of the best hot pot spots in San Francisco. This place is now officially in our regular rotation.
