Hot Pot Restaurants near South San Francisco, CA

“The best Shabu in San Jose and located in the perfect part of San Jose in Japantown, we love coming here to eat Shabu, it is so delicious. I highly recommend it *****five stars the owner Richard treat’s us great with so much hospitality, we just feel so welcomed and will continue to frequent his establishment.“

“Delicious, authentic Sichuan flavors, and boy what a great selection of hot condimebts. And to top it off excellent service, as if we were eating at our aunt's place. Served with love and care, an unassuming place, and a really wonderful experience.

We didn't get the hot pot and ordered stir fry noodles, but of course we'll be back again for the hotpot. This is now added to our list of regular places.

What a find - the reviews don't lie. Great place, excellent service and amazing food! Thank you auntie and DNM. See you next time!“

“This place was fuller than I expected, but we didn't have to wait too long, which was great. I liked that they do individual hot pots, so if you don't like what others like, you're separated and can do your own thing. That said, I'm not a fan of starting from pre-built options, since many of the items on the veggie plate are not my thing, and I feel bad throwing away food... Would recommend, but come prepared“

“Second time here and it was just as good as the first! Came in on a Monday night for dinner and they were packed, but no line which was great.

Went with their pork broth and I gotta say it had great flavor and their beef ribeye was tender! You can taste the quality in their meats. The grill and side dishes are always a plus.

The restaurant is on the smaller side but awesome atmosphere, attentive service and good people there! Will be back!“

“1st visit. Great menu, just beed a chef that knows how to cook southern food. It was horrible. I tried two items, the first was shrimp appetizer. It was just overly spicy, no flavor, just hot. Returned it and ordered catfish suggest. They were soggy, I ate on those b/c I was hungry. The bartender still charged me 1/2 price for the horrible shrimp I returned. Bartender could not make an old-fashioned cocktail, but said he could. Nice guy, but stick to beer or wine, something that has 2 items only. I was there for the music. I'll be back, I'll eat dinner b4 I come next time. Loved the place, very old school blues vibe. Meet new people there, but if they are missing the mark on the food. I'm in the food industry, and I see huge potential if they had a chef that specialized in Southern foods. Biscuits were bland. I was told the Latina chef just follows a menu. That is not cool..“

“New experience for me! Everything was very good!“

“Very clean and stylish interior. Excellent and fresh choices, very tasty. The best hot pot I’ve been to in San Francisco!“

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

“Absolutely authentic & very fresh food! Customer service is top notch! Their IPA is on point!“

“太棒了，肉品沒吃多少，倒是吃了好幾磅的櫻桃🍒“

“Hot pot is pretty good, this place specializes in lamb but has beef, pork, chicken and seafood options (limited), high quality ingredients and the broth is delicious. Lots of Chinese/cantonese people who eat here. Icecream tastes very cheap, but overall, a great hot pot place“

“Super satisfied, excellent soup with unlimited of meat & everything ! Will recommend to my friends & family ! Staff so nice & approachable ! Thank you Jin Pot, all of us are full & contented !“

“food place for family and hang out“

“Our family has been coming to eat for almost 2 years. Food is always good. Everytime we came our baby grandson, who is almost 21 months old, didn't have to pay until today. The waitress insisted that we have to pay $7.50 for our 21 months old baby as long as he eats. She said anyone 5 and under will have to pay $7.50 unless he or she doesn't eat any of their stuff. We really don't know how they can justify charging $7.50 for a 21 months old baby. In fact we were there less than a month ago and the waiter didn't charge our 21 months old baby. It's not the money we care about it's the principal. So bare in mind don't let your baby eat any of their stuff or else you'll be charged $7.50.“

“Convenient and close to us“

“Food is really yummy and our guy server was so friendly. Best hot pot so far.😋😋“

“Vegetarian options: Though the menu is mainly directed towards omnivores, vegetarians do have a selection of offerings. There is no clear vegetarian option when it comes to the main component of the dish, the broth.

Parking: The nearby Smart and Final has a paid parking lot.

Wheelchair accessibility: The central tables have separate chairs which can be moved, and the table itself is at an adequate level for most standard wheelchairs, provided the arm rests can move. Baring that, there should be little problem adapting.“

“Good Place for any occasion.Fair price for your pocket 😍🤩“

“Fun time with great food service and atmosphere. Loved doing something different with immersive cooking experience. Give it a go.“

“The best hot pot ever this is my second time with my family and we love it. The only problem is the parking it take us 30 minutes looking for parking.“

“Decent selection of meat, seafood and veggies. I prefer the traditional 'communal' hotpot where you are offered better quality meat. This place is good for a quick fix for me just to get a taste of hotpot. There is only a few condiments unlike the typical place where you have over a dozen to fix your own dipping sauce.
$15.99/lb can get pricing if you are a big eater.“

“The Hongkong style B.B.Q is so delicious“

“Came by on a busy weekday with a hungry appetite. Gave this place a try since other places were packed. Was seated quickly and scrolled through their menu. The service was alright since they only had one server for a busy night. The dishes we chose were good but nothing special but filled the hunger.

Vegetarian options: Non-meat options available

Parking: Parking throughout the area

Wheelchair accessibility: Stand opened door for easy wheelchair access“

“Love the scenic views and the little pond at center Dining Table while enjoying ur Food.“

“Jo's awesome. We had a great experience. Highly recommended for birthdays or just being together 👯‍♀️💯👍“

“This is a nice addition to Clemente Street for spicy hot pot of various varieties. Malatang the numbing Chinese flavor was our draw in to the store, but they have many other versions of soups such as laksa and tom yum. The beef broth was a little weak, but the numbing flavor was quite strong. You pick all of your ingredients and we enjoyed all except we found we didn't like the yam noodles. The staff was really nice and helpful and the interior was modern yet with a little bit of classic Chinese art. Really looking forward to trying this place again and trying the other flavors and ingredients. We are omnivores but we would like to come back and try it with totally vegan soup and ingredients option.“

“Food was great but I can’t get over being seated at a table for four when we had a party of six! Table was very crowded with hot pots appetizer dishes! Finally Emily was nice enough to move us to a decent table but then we had to wait for all our food to be transferred to our new table. A big inconvenience for our surprise birthday guest. Besides that the spicy miso and regular miso broth were very delicious and fun to cook for my first experience at hot pot. Atmosphere was great and was very packed but does get quite hot inside after a while. They did have an all you can eat which is great for large groups.“

“Usually these kind of shops are usually very not organized and not sanitized well. When checked the place the food stalls were nice and clean and there were no cross contamination.
Can be bit pricey than you expect because the food is weighed but other than that I am very pleased with the organization and sanitization. The taste of the food is good and very filling, if you want to a hot meal I totally recommend this place.“

“The food was great, I liked it very much, I will go again next time“

“Good mix of old school and new school. And really good hot pot broth!!!“

“Very nice and cozy place to dine with. Yummy hotpot! Deserve more thumbs up to the the customers!“

“Stopped by for lunch on a Saturday. The food was overall very flavorful, and spicy! We got the cauliflower dry pot, Fuqi Feipian, Dan dan noodles, and a lamb skewer.

One thing we appreciated was that the dry pots were smaller than most other restaurants we have been too (also cheaper) so you're able to order more dishes in one sitting, instead of the dry pot being enough for two people. The Dan dan noodles were technically not on the menu, but the owner/employee let us order it still.

Overall, highly recommend, a great restaurant with reasonable prices.“

“Love the Special Combo chow main ❤️👍🏼“

“Always delicious and best sushi in Livermore for sure“

“Love this place! Service is excellent, and the food is truly spicy!“

“Great place for dim sum lunch. It's right on the Bay south of SFO, so you can watch planes landing (they seem to take off in the other direction.
They have many exotic dishes, but many popular ones, too. The service is OK, but most of the staff don't speak English. LOTS of parking!“

“Excellent cuisine and service“

“Absolutely authentic & very fresh food! Customer service is top notch! Their IPA is on point!“

“Very classic sichuan food. I recommend this restaurant.“

“Great Service. Friendly People, Good Food. Been coming here for awhile!!“

“Indulge in the ultimate hot pot experience at @nabe.sf ! 🍲

Their Nabemono Sets come with premium items, assorted fresh vegetables, and a bowl of rice. All topped off with a complimentary Zosui Rice Soup for your party (this was soooo good!) 🍚✨
Want to elevate your meal? Upgrade to the luxurious Japanese Miyazaki A5 Beef 🥩 and an additional cost and savor the richness! 🐄 🔥

We also want to shoutout all the servers because they were so nice and attentive.“

“The American wagyu cut of meat was great and the fact that it's included in the ayce was a great deal. $48 pretip for 1 person, I paid 60 because the guy waiting the bar and on the deli slicer was so nice. Goma and ponzu dipping sauces were great too.“

“Our daughter is obsessed with soup dumplings which we found at Fusion Dumpling. The traditional pork were great, but try the black truffle and wagyu soup dumplings. You won't be disappointed!“

“Quality food everyone should give them a try ���“

“Service is wonderful. Price is reasonable in respect of area, quality and current economy. Food tastes is not consistent. in our last visit we found Mongolian beef was salty and lamb was not that great like other days. However we appreciate there excellent service.“

“What a fabulous time! Very well done!! Fresh seafood, meats, congee, dessert!!“

“Came here with a group of 9 and we got seated at two different tables. Each table had one giant pot to split.

Good:
- You can choose 2 soups that you want - I loved the tomato soup base since it was nice and savory but not too salty
- I liked how much variety there was in the AYCE options - the Ferris wheel of course is the most famous thing here
- The appetizers were pretty great - there were glass noodles and tons of sauces
- The mango coconut dessert was delicious!
- Nice and private back area for groups

Bad:
- Overall more expensive, about $45pp after taxes

Overall a really fun group activity!“

“The food here is delicious. I like to eat this dandan noodles the most, the noodles have a little bit of QQ. The xiaolongbao here are delicious.

It's also very beautiful here, with many cat paintings.

I will definitely come again next time.“

“Amazing Tai Shan restaurant!!! Recommendations:
1. Taishan beef bone soup (we also were told coconut chicken soup is their specialty) - this wasn’t salty, perfectly herbed, so yummmmmmyv
2. ⁠yellow eel clay pot rice - fresh water eels!
3. ⁠pork noodle roll - house made!
4. ⁠purple potatoes sesame balls - rare find usually it’s red bean

They said all dim sum is made in site and they use free range chicken - don’t get preserved pork cake

There as only 1 waitresss who was also the host and cashier. She was amazing and kind - management should hire at least 1 more person

And of course this place has less stars cuz it doesn’t cater to westerners but their is the obligatory kung pao plate but just ignore that. All the surrounding restaurants have tourists whereas this one is filled with Taishan people.“
