“I didn’t expect the hot pot place in Pacifica was good but wow~~~
We were looking for some hot food after an hour watching whales by the beach.
We found this place on Google maps and gave it a try.
$40 per person for AYCE hot pot and grill which is great price in Bay Area.
We ordered about 40 items most were good and fresh.
The lady waitress was very friendly giving us suggestions. We definitely will come back!“

The food here was terrific also, Southern Comfort food & yes the biscuits were great! Each night there is a different band but go see Zinggflower on Monday nights if you can. They will not disappoint. The musicians are so talented!“

“The food was absolutely delicious! I'm vegetarian, but my wife isn't. The waiter brought us a divided pot and even got me the vegetarian version of the spicy broth. The food they brought was very fresh, and I have zero complaints. They even had a little robot waiter.“

“The food is really delicious and the waiters are very friendly“

“Convenient and close to us“

“Read all!

The food is so good! I tried almost everytype of beef and all are delicious. Chicken also taste good. My fav is fatty beef.
Tender, fresh, soft, and worth with the price of $26/ person for AYCE. Be aware that they still charge Tax(8.63%) and service charge fee(15%).
Another price rate for dinner time.

They have fresh foods, and good ice cream(vanilla and matcha my fav)

I am satisfied with the food but i am not satisfied with the service. The Chinese boy seemed very inpatient and not good to communicate. When I ask something, he just want me to rush and order. We didn’t communicate well and not frequently but the 15% unavoidable service fee is quite a lot for the provided service.“

“food place for family and hang out“

“Actually discovered this place by mistake as we drove to Pacifica from Serramonte for some pho but the nearby Vietnamese restaurant was closed for the holidays and saw this place was nearby. We could'nt be more happier as this place is a gem. Like wow. So many options and everything is delicious. The two hour limit is more than enough. Turns out we came a bit early because we were seated immediately. By mid dinner the place was packed. What surprised me the most is the drink selection. Serve yourself to some Hawaiian drinks. All you can drink! Those cans alone go for nearly $5 each at some grocery stores! I will definitely be back here in the future! Gotta try out the karaoke next time too!“

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

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

“We were a party of six, and all six of us found the food to be excellent. We ordered a 6-dish special meal that included a steamed fish fillet. I don't think it was a fresh fish, but it was large and plenty good. We were able to pick garlic noodles, which is one of my favorites, as one of our 6 dishes.“

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

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

“Food is made fast but you might wait for a table during the rush hour. They don't offer many options for sauces but still is good. Although there are many people inside, it doesn't take too long to find an open table. I like how they utilized the screen to show when your food is ready so you don't need to hear workers screaming the order number. Tried seschzwan spicy hot pot and it was really good 😋“

“This is the BEST Shabu restaurant I’ve ever been to. I traveled all the way from the East Coast to go here. The meat quality = unmatched. The ponzu dipping sauce = fire. This place is basically a mouth orgasm. Go here. You won’t regret it!“

“Just found out Serramonte Center has Yang Guo Fu in the food court 😂 Perfect spot for a hot bowl of malatang on a foggy Daly City lunch break. $14.99/lb with fresh veggies, meats, and three soup bases (beef bone, tomato, spicy dry). Loved the beef & lamb rolls, mushrooms, lotus root, and konjac for a lighter option. Their red oil wontons ($5.99) are freshly made and so tasty—can’t wait to try the dim sum they’re adding soon!“

“We came here for weekend lunch ayce shabu shabu, and it was fantastic!! Both the wagyu and Japanese pork are of great quality, and the special presentation for the meat just gave this meal an elevated touch. We also really enjoyed the small appetizer plates all of which were refreshing and well done. HH drink pricing was an excellent deal. Katie was very friendly and extremely thoughtful - this is our new go-to place!“

“Love the Special Combo chow main ❤️👍🏼“

“M Pot might be the best hot pot I've tried. Lilly was super welcoming and helpful in explaining some of the less common items on the menu. She won't steer you wrong! We asked for medium and she suggested we try mild first and she was right, it was our medium/hot. Quality and variety of ingredients really stood out from handmade noodles to authentic homemade Chinese desserts. The meat portions were big and the broths were really tasty. It's a la carte but we still ate like it was AYCE and the price reflected that. Next time we we'll order a little less and try some other Lilly recommendations. You won't regret coming here. Also they're open til 10pm on weekdays and 11pm on weekends, possibly later, just call.“

“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!“

“I had dinner with my family at Chef Xiong Kitchen yesterday and we ordered several dishes: green peppercorn stewed fish, stir-fried potatoes, pig feet and chicken skewers, cold spicy noodles, beef noodle soup, and stir-fried green beans. Everything was absolutely delicious, especially the cold spicy noodles, which were a standout.

The portion sizes were very generous and offered great value for the price. Each dish was packed with flavor and had its own unique flair. The service was impeccable; the staff were attentive and made sure we had everything we needed to fully enjoy our meal.

I’ll definitely be coming back, whether for dine-in or takeout! I will also be telling friends and family to try this place out!“

“All the food is fresh, and choosing what's in season makes it even tastier. For larger groups, the big round tables come with the added bonus of individual hot pots built right into the table. It's easier to order dishes when you have a bigger group here ( 3+ people)“

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

“Incredibly friendly, kind, attentive, and helpful servers. Special shout outs to Lara and Tuta! You guys were awesome!

The food was amazing. All the ingredients tasted fresh and high quality. The flavors were well balanced and complex. Generous portions at such a reasonable price.

Highly recommend the spicy braised beef noodle soup with the signature housemade noodles. The noodles were cooked to perfection with a nice bite and chewiness without being doughy, and were flavorful thanks for the rich broth. The soup has a kick which was entirely welcome and the spice paired well with the sourness, cutting through the heaviness of both the beef and the wheat noodles. Will definitely be back to enjoy more!

The green peppercorn fish noodle soup was light and clean without any fishiness ruining the dish. I would want more peppercorn flavor though for me to strongly recommend.“

“Always delicious and best sushi in Livermore for sure“

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

“Excellent cuisine and service“

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

“Came here on Saturday for late lunch and there was no wait. The hot pot dishes were delicious and the owner was very friendly. AYCE is a plus, which is $36.99 for weekends and holidays, $32.99 for weekdays dinners and even cheaper for weekday lunches.

We liked the original spicy soup base and the skewers.“

“We had an AMAZING time here on Christmas Eve. The food was delicious, super peaceful clean atmosphere and the staff was so kind and generous. We got the Miso (vegetarian) Nabe and the vegetarian kimchi Shabu Shabu (not listed on the menu). We also had the introduction sake flights. The menu came with a pre-selected array of veggies, mushrooms and tofu. We also added fried tofu and mochi. It was a good amount of food for two people (and we eat A LOT). Towards the end of your meal you can have one of your soups made into a porridge at the table (there is egg in this, but I think everything else so far was vegan!) We ended with the green tea ice cream. I am dreaming of my next San Fran trip when I can come back :,)
10/10 will go again!“

“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.“

“Friendly staff. A bit crowded in terms of spacing. There was a back room that opened up for overflow next door. The food came out quickly. The green onion pancake was good and not too greasy. The highlight for me was the cumin lamb stir fry. The hot and sour soup was not too salty but could use a bit more vinegar which was available at the table.“

“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.“

“Waterfront view, great service, awesome hot pot. What else can I ask for? Yeah. Love this place and will surely come back again!“

“I came here on good reviews and I was not disappointed. I got the hot and sour soup and the beef and chili oil. The wintermint bao buns hit my sweet tooth and my absolute favorite was the siu mai. Bursting with goodness and full of flavor! Will be back. A neighbor for the chicken and it looked phenomenal.“
