Hot Pot Restaurants in San Francisco, CA

“We were in the neighborhood and stumbled upon DNM Hot Pot. Inside the restaurant was very spacious and the service was quite fast. Never had Mongolian hotpot before so was very stoked to try. Opted for half special spicy lamb and half mushroom and that was the perfect combo! Would definitely come back for more!“

“Reserved one of the big karaoke rooms for a birthday and we were seated in the upstairs room. Drinks and sauce bar were available downstairs. Decent hotpot with all of the staples, ayce menu also came with a selection of appetizers/hot food which were also good. Since we were a larger group I liked that they gave huge portions of meat and veggies whenever we placed an order. Since we were in one of the rooms upstairs we did feel a little disconnected from the rest of the restaurant, which is good when you want to sing out, but it was sometimes hard to get our orders in. I do wish they checked on a us a few more times or had one of the bells they have at kbbq so we could signal when we were ready to order.“

“Amazing Cantonese cuisine! Highly recommend it!“

“Food is worth the price but there is still room to improve the quality a bit. Service is great and since i order all you can eat, they were very friendly and asked me several times whether I needed more, both on veges and meat. So I would go there again.“

“Truly the most delicious meat I've ever tasted! I highly recommend it. Especially the lemon chicken, onion pancake, spicy beef stew, and lamb shank. The lamb shank was cooked to perfection, the meat was incredibly tender. The same goes for the lemon chicken, which falls apart the moment you touch it. I will DEFINITELY COMING BACK, I LOVED IT!“

“Ambience 5/5 - A super chic and modern restaurant. There is residential parking around the area so it's not too difficult to find a place to park. The actual restaurant is pretty sizable and looks really nice and modern! - there are tables and also booths to sit in. The only thing to note is that the floor tiling can be slippery if it's wet/rainy outside. Service 5/5 - you can sign up for the waitlist by walking in and signing in on a tablets. I believe you can also be put on the waitlist through Yelp. Overall, the servers are pretty young, but it's very responsive and helpful! Nelson was fantastic and took the time to explain the different soup bases and sauces! They were also really proactive with offering soup, base refills, and water refills! Food 5/5 - high-quality meats, yummy options of spicy/non-spicy soup bases, but the star of the show... was the SAUCES Omgosh. Amazing. Made everything soo soooooi good! We loved the crunchy spicy (had pumpkin seeds and peanuts in chilli oil), and the green sauce stuff! Mushroom sauce came in a close second. We also tried the Spicy butter (spicy, and beef fat... tasted AMAZING with the ramen omg), Tom Yum (was alright, but pretty tangy, not surprisingly), and the Sichuan spicy. Perhaps will try the miso next time :) Overall a really, really great experience (approx cost $35 per person) We will be back again !“

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

“We go to Boiling Hot Pot atleast 1x/month. It’s our go to spot for almost every occasion whether happy or sad. ? We went here for my wife’s graduation and for when I had a bad day and needed a venting session.We almost always get mango soju. My mother-in-law and I always drink unfiltered Sake when we all got together. It’s like a family tradition now.We usually pick out 4 favorite soup bases (Tom Yum, Red Pepper, Green Pepper, and Tomato). We LOVE their sauce station! It’s so customizable but my favorite is their first recommendation. My wife loves their green sauce and their mushroom sauce with spicy chili garlic.We always order a bunch of vegetables and wagyu beef. We always leave super stuffed and so satisfied. Unfortunately the only downside is the time limit of 90 mins which leaves you feeling rushed. I will say that the restaurant really only enforces the time limit when there is a large wait. Otherwise they are very nice and flexible.Would definitely recommend for any occasion. We’re probably going to go back soon.“

“Excellent hot pot. The customer service was very friendly and quick to remove our empty plates.The meat qualities were exceptional. We also loved being able to order food with our phone, but just the essentials, there is a nice Buffett to go up and grab vegetables, giblets, snails, tripe, noodles, sauce bar, even a nice $3 juice bar.Really enjoyed their special house sauce. They sauce bar had some super good choices.The soup broths were so delicious. Really clean bathroom.Just an overall top notch hot pot place!“

“Meat quality is superb. Their cilantro garlic ponzu dipping sauce is very unique and delicious. This is on my list of restaurant tours when coming to San Francisco every couple of years for my food tour. They have shortened the meat menu from a few years ago but still really good beef and pork.I would visit way more often had the city not fallen into disrepair under years of mismanagement.“
