I love this place! Went on a very busy superbowl weekend and got sat in less than an hour even with 20 people ahead of me on the waitlist. This place was well worth the wait. Fresh and plentiful assortment of vegetables, noodles, tofu, meats and seafood on the conveyor belt constantly running past your table for hotpot. They have an amazing sauce bar with additional side dishes, dumplings, bao, fruit and desserts; this was a perfect accompaniment to the meal! Around $35 for all you can eat hotpot which is excellent pricing and extraordinary quality. Staff are attentive and come to your table often to check on you. If you partake in alcohol their apple mango soju is a MUST. They also have selections of non-alcoholic beverages, including refreshing flavored lemonades and sparkling waters. Everything was so wonderful and delicious, will definitely be coming back! Perfect place for a date or to catch up with friends.

Pretty good all you can eat hot pot place. They have a fun conveyor belt system to get lots of small dishes. My kids love grabbing stuff off of it. The food over all is decent quality. Pricing is fine.

Lunch price is the best hotpot buffet in the Bay Area. Service is inconsistent

Love to go here for special days (ie. birthdays, etc.). Everyone finds something they like and you always walk away feeling satisfied. The staff has always been friendly and helpful too.

UPDATE: They took a long time to bring out the meat when I went this time and the staff were very grumpy. They still offer delicious side dishes and had dragonfruit, but really disliked the service.

Probably my favorite Seapot restaurant in the Bay. Slightly smaller than the Sunnyvale location, but they offer more variety in terms of side dishes with fruit, dim sum, and other prepared foods.

In terms of meats and soup options, there are so many good ones to choose from. The thai pot is quite unique, but I love the healthy herb. For an AYCE place, the price is very reasonable at $34 (for dinner and holidays)

The staff are very friendly, attentive, and the conveyor belt full of sides has lots of options with some delicious cakes.

A reasonable all-you-can-eat hotpot. The meat dishes all come together and it's impossible to know which is which. They all tastes similarly anyway. I probably won't come here again.

Five stars especially if you’re new to the “hot pot” experience. This place is legit, they have a carousel going around with food and it’s super clean.

Family and friends have been here a number of times and are always satisfied with the food selection. It does get quite crowded at times so always make a reservation. Parking is hit or more miss since it’s located in a very small strip mall

Decent hotpot place with convenient conveyor belt ingredients that provides a little more fun than usual; meat comes from server to the table when you order it. My house spicy broth was good. Nothing here is high end or world-beater, but it is a good place for a hotpot fix when you need one.

Shoutout for the service, though. It was above average for hotpot venues.

Awesome food and prices and service. The only issue is that the tables don’t have enough space to fit all the food sometimes so it gets overwhelming.
