3 Kingdoms Hot Pot

The best hot pot I've ever had in the Bay Area. The soup base is very authentic and rich. The meat is very fresh and tender. The dining environment is very comfortable. The small ingredients are rich, and the watermelon sesame balls can fill you up. This time I also got two free cups of milk tea, which is so delicious! I will come again.

We’ve been here since they opened and have been coming back regularly. The hot pot is authentic and traditional. The spicy soup broth can be very spicy and dumbing if you’re not used to Chinese hot pot. The fish maw soup broth we had was very delicious and good to drink. The meat (beef, lamb, seafood) is all very fresh, the restaurant is clean, and the staff are all very friendly. Will keep recommending our friends to come here. If you come on Friday or Saturday dinner time, there might be a wait. Always a good Ife to call and reserve, or do online wait list.

Today was my first visit here for hot pot, highly recommended by a friend, and it truly lived up to the hype. The taste is authentically that of a Chongqing hot pot, with richly flavored beef tallow and a medium spice level that packs a punch. The tomato broth was also exquisitely fresh. We ordered the American Wagyu, which had great marbling and tasted fantastic. I especially want to highlight the tripe platter, which includes a variety of tripe for a satisfying feast, as well as the cured sausage, which was delicious in the spicy broth. Overall, it was a very satisfying dinner experience.

I had an amazing experience at this hotpot restaurant! The variety of fresh ingredients they offer, from succulent meats to a wide array of vegetables, is truly impressive. The staff's attentive and friendly service stood out as they helped us navigate the menu and promptly attended to our requests. The ambiance was inviting and the dining area was clean and comfortable, enhancing the overall enjoyment of the meal. The real star, though, was the well-balanced broth and flavorful dipping sauces that accompanied the hotpot. Each bite was a burst of deliciousness and satisfaction. Without a doubt, this hotpot restaurant has become my top choice, and I enthusiastically recommend it to all fellow hotpot enthusiasts!

New Small Plate Options: Affordable and Convenient for All! Content: I recently visited 3 Kingdoms Hot Pot with three friends—four grown men in total—and we were all impressed by their newly introduced “small plate” options. It’s a thoughtful and budget-friendly addition that worked perfectly for us! With this new menu, the average per-person spending is now between $30 -$50 making it an excellent choice for casual gatherings, whether you’re dining solo or in a group. The small plates are especially ideal for lighter eaters or those looking to try more dishes without breaking the bank. Even with four of us, we were able to order a variety of dishes to share, and the portions were just right—plenty to enjoy without any waste. This change not only adds flexibility to the dining experience but also makes it more accessible for everyone to enjoy delicious meals at great value. If you’re looking for a spot that offers both quality and affordability, I highly recommend checking out their small plates. Whether you’re dining alone or with friends, you’ll love this convenient and satisfying option!

The cool thing is you can order teaspoon drinks from your table. But it usually takes a long time to deliver. Overall it is a good place for hotpot, fresh meat, good quality vegetables.

This hotpot is pretty good! We have lunch special for 2 people and it’s less than $60 in total, but we have a lot as the pic below, 2 meets, 3 veggies, 1 entree, 1 plum pitcher and 1 free passion fruit pitcher. Also, the food is really fresh, and we just choose mild mild spicy which is just right. Previously, it’s very spicy even if we choose the least spicy level. Happy to eat here for lunch ;)

This restaurant shares a space with Teaspoon. The hot pot spicy broth was good along with the variety of things you can order. Overall, the hot pot experience is good but on the pricier side with a good number of items sold out by dinner time. Recommend calling in advance to make a reservation.

Amazing hot pot place! My family and I visited on New Year's Day for lunch and it we really enjoyed the food :) The restaurant itself is pretty small, but is decorated to mimic a traditional Chinese street which is pretty cool. Service was fast too, although there wasn't that many people when we were there. For soup base, we got two different types--mala house special butter (little mild) and chicken soup. I personally enjoyed the mala house special butter. It does err on the spicier side of the scale, so keep that in mind when ordering! The beef, lamb, vegetables, tofu and more were all really fresh and yummy. There is a pretty wide selection of food, from seafood to red meat to tofu, vegetables and noodles. The one downside is that it is pretty expensive, but you can choose portion sizes so I would recommend getting small plates if you want to try more stuff! Overall, I really enjoyed my time here so I would recommend if you're in the area!

Food: ok Service: decent Ambiance: good decor, but feels run down for a Sunday lunch hour

I had a wonderful dining experience at 3 Kingdoms Hot Pot What impressed me the most was their small-portion dishes, which are perfect for people like me who don't have a big appetite. It allowed us to try a variety of dishes without worrying about waste--so thoughtful! Additionally, the average spending per person is between $20 and $30, which is very reasonable and makes it a great choice for casual gatherings or a light meal. The staff are really friendly. If it's your first time then they will help you choose the best options. The restaurant has a cozy and inviting ambiance, perfect for casual meals or celebrations Most importantly, the quality of the food was exceptional. Every dish was fresh and delicious, with great attention to detail in both ingredients and flavor. Overall, this is a restaurant I'd definitely return to and highly recommend to anyone who appreciates quality dining!

Came here on a Tuesday at 5pm with a group of 4 and didn't have to wait at all. Overall a pretty solid hot pot place with good broth and meat and had a good meal. However, rating it 4 stars because I feel like they don't have that many options compared to other hot pot places I've been to. There was only udon for noodles, and not many variety for balls. The price was also on the pricier side, so I feel like for the variety and amount of food you get isn't as worth. The sauce bar also didn't have as much small dishes as I thought they would (only chicken feet) and the fruit was canned and stale. Icecream was really good though! Cool to try if you've never been, but I think I would probably try another place next time

The spice is insane. Definitely my go-to for spicy Chinese hot pot. The restaurant is tucked away in downtown Mountain View where the streets are always alive and beautifully lit. I was surprised to find out there were two floors - first floor is also shared with Teaspoon and second floor has karaoke rooms! I've been many times and service is usually quick, but on some days (busy or slow) I've been forgotten before. They have a variety of soup bases to choose from and I usually go for half original beef spicy oil base (medium spice) and half sauerkraut fish/mustard green base. The menu included many options for hot pot toppings and they all came out fresh. The meat tastes and looks high quality. They have a sauce/snack bar (~ $3-$4 per person) which is convenient. I also found it convenient to order Teaspoon from the QR code as well and it came straight to my table. I will be back soon for sure.

I've heard about this hot pot restaurant for a long time, and this is my first time trying it. I ordered the Yuan Yang hot pot. The fish maw chicken soup base costs an extra $16 and has a light flavor. The beef oil Chongqing broth was ordered with a mild spice level, which felt just right for someone who can't handle spicy food . The ingredients were all very fresh. They currently have a New Year promotion offering free shaved ice (four flavors of ice cream), which pairs perfectly with the spicy hot pot. Overall, the prices here are on the higher side.

Never fails. The hotpot base is cheaper than a lot of other places (Liuyishou, Haidilao etc) but the ingredients are on the pricier side. Amenities include: sesame balls, shrimp chips, strawberry and chocolate ice cream to top off an extensive sauce bar! The staff are always super sweet and very accommodating! If coming here be sure to double check the offers for that week-- last week I got two free beers with a valid ID. There's also an upstairs karaoke room that I haven't utilized yet but hotpot plus karaoke sounds like quite the combo.

Called on a Friday night and they happened to have a table for 5 available! Overall a very authentic experience - the hot pot flavors and ingredients are exactly what you would get in China (not Americanized at all). They also had a free sauce station which included side dishes! Like chicken feet. This also means the broth is quite spicy, as in "mild" is quite spicy already. We had a great time, and everything was delicious (except the tripe was not very fresh), and we finished the meal with free soft serve ice cream!

Very exciting place to have tandem dinner and karaoke with your friends, whether it be for a celebration or just to hang out. The hotpot was very authentic, and the meats were of great quality. We got the mixed broth, and the spicy broth was very spicy (but great!) They have a very extensive menu, and all of the food was of pretty high quality and very fresh! To book a karaoke room hotpot experience, you can make a reservation while indicating as such, and you may need to pay a deposit to reserve the karaoke rooms. However, the staff was very helpful and the whole process was very seamless and smooth! There's a minimum spend for use of the karaoke room, but with a large enough group, it definitely is a steal considering that you have both hotpot and karaoke at the same time. You can also order Boba from the Teaspoon downstairs directly through their menu, and they'll send it over as well! Perfect pairing for the spicy broth. A great place to visit!

Excellent hot spot option. High quality meats, with flavorful base broths. imo slightly cheaper than Haidilao, without all the crazy waits. Since my family doesn't like spicy, we got two non-spicy broths that were both quite good - the mushroom broth and the pork broth. Both were solid. I liked that the pork broth even came with pork stomach. I love the sauce bar, where you can also get sesame balls (actually quite good), shrimp chips, green bean soup (not good basically all water no green bean), chicken feet, and fruit. We got a bunch different meat and vegetables. Don't miss out on their crazy special deals for $4 a plate of beef. We also got the mixed special tripes (who knew there were so many!), which tbh was too much tripe for us, but it was fun trying all of them (I think my favorite was the golden one). Unfortunately, I can't remember exactly what beef / lamb we got, but honestly all of them were good. Besides meat and veggies, we also got an order of ciba (chinese mochi) that was quite good.

This place is a great option for hotpot. Came on a Sunday night and the staff were so helpful and quick to bring out our food. They have a large variety of soup bases and hotpot ingredients and everything came out so beautifully plated! Would highly recommend their spicy hot pot base as it had a great balance of spice and flavor. The chicken and pork base was also great and it wasn't overly salty and you could really taste the chicken and pork in the broth. Will definetly be coming back again!

Shady business practice, unwilling to respond to clear up any miscommunication. I spent over $200 at this business while visiting our family in NorCal. I clearly remember circling the certain percentage for gratuity/tip and copying the total amount on my copy of the receipt. Upon my credit card reconciliation, I was charged more than what I circled. While the dollar amount isn't big, it is the principle of the matter. I have attempted to wait for a written response to no avail. Please be aware of this business and it's POS service.

Amazing food. This place hit the spot when we were craving Mala. The cocktails were on the sweeter side, but the meat quality made up for it. I highly recommend getting the combo sets if you want to try a little bit of everything. Go with a group to try more meat cuts.

As a hotpot enthusiast, this is my favorite hot pot place in the Bay Area! The meat is super high quality, the broths are flavorful, and they have a great sauce bar. I also love the traditional theme/decor! In total, I think I've been here three or four times. I went yesterday with some co-workers, who really enjoyed the meal and were impressed with the quality of the lamb and beef! We were able to make a reservation for 6 people about an hour before we went, and we were all seated quickly. Because of traffic, many of us arrived almost 30 minutes late, but they kept the table for us and allowed us to check in without everyone present. This might be because it wasn't rush hour (a Tuesday night), but great nonetheless! The service was also great throughout, with the waiter proactively cleaning up empty dishes and asking if we wanted to place more orders.

I can agree that this is one of the best hot pot places in Bay Area but I would caution about the level of spice. I think it is great for those who have a high spice because it is was still spicy with mild spicy. The level of spice they put is so flavorful and aromatic but just too spicy for me. But, I do have a low spice tolerance so maybe that's why. But my friends who came here before also agreed that it is spicy and they have a higher spice tolerance than me. I got the Jiogounger house special butter hot pot and chose mild. But perhaps next time I might choose half and half. Their meat was very good. Got their wagyu beef but I specifically liked their lamb shoulder ! It was delicious ! Very flavorful with the spices from the broth. There is a sauce station where you can make your own sauce so you have a lot to choose from. I also liked presentation of the dish and the little butter in shape of a bear or a duck or fish. Pretty cute concept. Service was amazing. The lady who took care of us was very nice and welcoming. She always had a smile even while wearing a mask. Given it was my first time, she explained everything well and gave recommendations on what pairs well with what. I also love how she told me the napkins are in the drawer which is convenient because i hate having to ask the servers for more napkins. Overall I would recommend people to try here! Just prepare for the spiciness!

Great place for Kids, Family or Company Hotpot and KTV The selection of food is incredible and all the vegetables are farm to table. You can taste the difference. Decor is great and restaurant is very clean and comfortable. What most people may not know is that there are eleven rooms of various size that are equipped with KTV. So instead of going to a KTV place and paying for mediocre munchie food, you can come to 3 Kingdoms Hot Pot and have excellent healthy hot pot and KTV at the same time in one of the private rooms. Great attentive service. We came here for a Birthday party and it was a great experience.

Portion got smaller to price ratio. They created smaller portion orders but it's much less to what was considered a full order. There's less choices to choose from. They don't refill condiments regularly but still charge per person for sauce/snacks. I left the place dissatisfied but I used to like this place before they started cheaping out and it was fairly dead on a Friday night. I would rather go Happiness hot pot and I can no longer recommend pple to come here now. The broth is still decent, just lack of ingredients and portion, kills the vibe versus other same price range hotpot.

One of our Yelp friends had suggested 3 Kingdoms Hot Pot after continuously seeing them featured on IG Reels and TikToks - mainly for their "steaming" presentation achieved by dry ice. While I was skeptical at first, 3 Kingdoms actually offers a fresh meat selection along with some unique items, including some of the most varied intestine/tripe/offal choices I have seen at a restaurant. 3 Kingdoms is a food photographers dream as well. Bright, overhead lights are everywhere and make the meats look even juicier for social media. Several items to note: 3 Kingdoms is NOT AYCE, but they do have an extensive sauce bar with apps that are free, and finally their broth is SPICY. Do not get the house special spicy broth unless you are sure you can handle it! This is a great spot to come with friends and will definitely be back!

I saw someone jogging in the 110 degree heat before and I was reminded that I should POT-bably start training for when I go to hell too :p. Meanwhile, I'll train at 3 Kingdoms, cuz HELL is where your booty hole will feel like it's at after eating here. .:: FOOD ::. NOT AYCE, a- la -carte by the dish. Perfect for one of those, 'Lets not stuff ourself silly to get our money's worth' type of nights. Marvelous Soup $18.95: you get to pick 3 soups. We chose Pork & Chicken ; Golden Pickled Mustard; and Premium Beef Oil Spicy (we got mild). I didnt touch anything spicy but my friends said the mild was a gooooood heat so beware. The pork and chicken theres a WHOLE bone in there like I'm talking huge. The. Premium Beef Oil came with the cutest cow butter to drop in. The golden pickled mustard was meh and I'm so glad it was in the tiniest portion of the pot. Snack and dipping bar $15/person: had a good variety of sauces, whatever you want should be there. The snacks had shrimp chips that I absolutely love from the chinese restaurants, sesame balls with red bean, edamame, fruits that look like they were there for a long time because some looked brown. American Kobe Beef $21.95: good marbling , comes with a good portion, maybe i'm so jaded from all the bay area places but I thought I was only gonna get 6 pieces. I liked this the best. Angus Selected Beef $20.95: Very fancy presentation. A good cut too but visibly and taste wise a lower cut than American Kobe. Beef Toro $12.95: One of our table's favorite cut, especially those who also like fatty meat. Fish ball w/ Roe $8.95: never fails to satisfy the table. The roe gives a good surprise in the middle. Fish Tofu $4.95: a huge portion, even if we selected the small size. I'm not complaining. Mixed Special Tripe $16.95: I dont eat tripe, but my table enjoyed this dish. Mushroom Combo Platter $14.95: I also dont eat mushroom, but my table liked the variety. Veggie Combo Platter $13.95: Comes with corn, spinach, watercress, lotus root, lettuce, cabbage Fish Roe Lucky Bag $10.95: basically fish tofu with roe in the middle. Definitely became one of my favs. Beef Skewers $12.95: a mild spicy on the skewers. Tender pieces to dip into the hot pot to cook. DO NOT end the night without grabbing some soft serve at their machine downstairs near the host stand. .:: Ambiance / Service / Parking ::. You come here for ALLLLL the aesthetics and they pull out EVERY stop there is, from the animal butters to the liquid nitrogen on the hot pots, to presentation of all the dishes, to the decors that transport you to ChongQing. They even have karaoke rooms you can book. It's a two story place which is rare to see in bay area. It shares a spot with Teaspoon. Luckily, my party was seated in the more private rooms because we were making videos and taking hella pics, so it would have been embarrassing if we were outside. Our waiter was nice, took our orders and old us when things were on last call. He just took our soup order but everything else is QR code and you order on the website. Pay at end of meal. We made resy so our table of 5 got seated immediately on a Saturday night. Parking was a bit tough. I found street parking though about 2-3 blocks away. There were several parking garages but it was dark and I didnt know my way around mountain view to look for it.

This place is legit. Authentic hot pot with great quality meat -- including specialties like tripe and intestine. Definitely reminds me of hot pot in China. They also do split pot and there's a fruit and veg bar, which is fantastic. Honestly better than Hai Di Lao or other hot pot places in the Bay.

We came here on a Friday night at ~7 PM and the wait was around 30 minutes. However, there are a variety of other stores in the downtown area that you can check out nearby while waiting. The place has a very nice traditional Chinese vibe with its red decor and it makes you feel like you're in China! Once seated, our server explained how to order from the QR code as well as getting sauces/snacks/utensils. There are variety of broths, meats, and vegetables that you can choose from but the portion sizes here are also very big so make sure to not order too much like we did. We ordered the Jiugongge House Special Butter Broth as well a variety of meats, seafood, and vegetables. The broth came out in nice presentation and had a crafted giant butter that you drop into the broth. Even though we chose the lowest spice level, the broth was still pretty spicy. My friend has a high spice tolerance and he even agreed that it was very spicy. However, the meats, seafood, and vegetables were good and tasted very fresh! They also have free ice cream which definitely helped with our numbing taste buds. Overall, I really enjoyed the food quality and service but would order less food next time and get a different broth.

Had dinner here on a weekend. There was no wait around 5:30pm but around 6:30pm place started to get crowded. Place is traditionally decorated with red interior. There were a decent amount of tables and overall spacious. Sauce/snack bar had your standard typically stuff and includes sesame balls and ice cream! You order from a QR code and food comes out pretty fast. Meat quality was good and overall everything tasted authentic.

The best hotpot in Bay Area! Whether you like the spicy or non-spicy ones, there are plenty of options for you. Must try are the beef and fish in tomato soups

Great hot pot with many options for meats, seafood & veggies. Choose your broth - spicy (choose level of spiciness), pork & chicken broth, mushroom broth. All broths are very flavorful and with the money. Choose any snacks and sauces you like, and some sides from the refrigerated cart. Be sure to drink some of the yummy broth after you finish eating all your cooked food in the hot pot. They have an endless supply of napkins in a handy drawer at the tables. Love the softie ice cream machine for dessert that you help yourself to. I would eat here again and again.

I feel like it's hard for me to give an accurate review when I generally don't do spicy food and this hotpot is heavy on the HOT. The mild spicy broth is already insanely spicy so I would recommend starting out small. They can always add more spice but they can't get rid of the spice. The nonspicy broth was fine but was lacking in flavor in my opinion. The service is good and the options are nice. They also gave us free boba per person from Teaspoon which was nice. However, I don't think I'll be back because this place specializes in spicy broth but I'm just personally not into that.

Their signature soup base is infused in dozens of spices with house special beef butter. It's inspired by Chongqing's famous hotpot culture and flavors. They offer a variety of soup base to choose from, and I picked the pot design that can fit three different kinds of broth (house special spicy beef butter broth, pork bone broth, and mushroom-base broth). Very yummy soup base! I want to try their most popular "jiugongge" house special spicy hotpot next time! The ice jelly was very refreshing to eat after hotpot, but I was not a big fan of their rice cake. The texture was not very chewy and quite dry.

The worst hotpot place ever, they did not tell us if there's a time limit the first place, and we ordered about 600 US dollars of food for 8 of us. However, they started to threaten us and force us to finish eating in 2 hours because they say they wanted to end early today and pay their worker for less hours. The store says that they end in 11:00pm.

Food was delicious, the meat was super tender. We also did the karaoke for fun, but music selection wasn't the best. Recommend going just for the hotpot

Authentic Chinese hot pot! Awesome food and very tasty. Best in the Bay Area. I always come to this place for hot pot. Remember order mild because it's quite spicy.

Hot pot. Time of the cold season to enjoy the delicious hot pot. Love the spot, great vibes and lots of food selection. Here is my scoring card for this restaurant: 1) Location: ( 5 Point ) - Great location for customer to see and find. Great parking for street parking and back side with parking lot parking. 2) Decoration : (2 Point) - They still have the original decoration. Clean but not up to date. 3) Price: ( 4 point)- The price is competitive but still a little bit pricey compare to other same stars and type food they serve ( inflation. Yikes) 4) Quality and Taste : ( 3 point)- The quality is ok, food taste is good and portions are below average . 5) Type of cuisine standard : ( 4 point) - The style of Chinese hot pot they serve is pretty close to the way it was prepare in China. Not bad! Wish they have more choices on the sauce selection. Overall it's not bad and I thinks it's great to give it a try and let me know what you think. Go foodies Total max is 25 Score 18 Stars = 72% round up to 3 stars

My favorite hot pot place! The meat's quality is top notch, massive variety of soup and condiments. They even sell fish maw and beef stripe for those who crave for authentic Chinese hot pot. Awesome service and ambience as well!

My friends and I were walking through Downtown Mountain View this past Saturday night looking for a place to eat that could accommodate a group of 10 without a long wait. My friend noticed this place and saw they were offering hotpot & karaoke! Perfect since our plan was to try eating at Superhot (but the wait was 2 hours there lol). We were seated promptly in a private room upstairs with its own TV/karaoke system. You order through a QR code and although this place is not AYCE, the menu had lots of options. Our server explained to us that they specialize in authentic super spicy broth and they definitely weren't kidding! lol. We got a split pot (medium spicy and tomato). My friends kept saying it was the spiciest hotpot they've tried, but still really enjoyed it! Service was fast, quality of food was good, and I liked how the sauce bar was clean and had extra bowls/chopsticks stored in a cabinet for you to easily access. We wished the karaoke system was a bit more updated since they didn't have newer songs available and was difficult to navigate at times, but my friends figured it out just fine. Overall we're glad we decided to try this place randomly and would definitely recommend to try this place out the next time you're craving hotpot!

Fresh hotpot meat and seafood, genuine Chinese hotpot. Services are excellent too, and lottery at entrance to enjoy a free dish.

Great place for team gathering. Food is great, very authentic ! Happy new year ! !!! Must go place if u like Sichuan hotpot

Very authentic hotpot, love its decorations . Fresh and yummy food.. highly recommended

The ambience and plating are the highlights here. They have a extensive selection of meats, seafood and vegetables. Most importantly, they have a sauce bar, which is a must have for good hot pot places. They also have boba from Teaspoon inside. They are known for their buttery hot pot. The butter is in the shape of some animal. They have the online ordering system, so it's very convenient to order. I have been here twice and was not disappointed. I recommend the spicy broth, as the plain broth is a bit bland and questionable what it's made from. I suggest calling in to reserve a table ahead of time. They do get busy on weekends.

Good service but food is meh. Doesn't feel that fresh imo or maybe the soup is just not flavorful enough. I liked the salad bar but some of the food doesn't look that fresh there. They just keep adding more instead of changing the tray I feel like. Nothing special. Feel like it's self serve to some extend since I have to get my own chopstick and napkin. Feeling content today so 3 stars or maybe more like 2.5

Trying this hot pot place for lunch today. Ordered three separated marvelous soup base. Spicy, chicken and tomorrow three different flavors soup base, all tasted good. The beef toro was super good. All the food is very fresh. The sauce table doesn't have many appetizers like other hot pot restaurants but they have unlimited soft serving ice cream. Also the Tea Spoon shop in the restaurant. So people can ordered the milk/fruit tea while having the hot pot which is very convenience. The only downside today is many food we like have been sold out, Hopefully can be stocked up soon. Service is very friendly. We would like to visit again and bring as many the friends as we can...lol

We ordered the house special butter hotpot with less spice, but it was still too spicy for us. The soup was filled with loads of peppercorn and chili so it was hard to avoid and eat around. The meat quality and veggies were good overall! We will stick to an even milder soup or do half&half next time. At the end of the meal, our stomachs were feeling pretty uncomfortable with the spice level sadly! The fried buns with condensed milk was my fav part and a nice change to the very spicy meal we were having LOL If you typically eat mild spice, beware of this soup base!

If you like spicy food, you have to try this place. You scan a code and order everything (including payment) from your phone. The meats are really good. They have a sauce bar in the back so you can make your own sauce combination. This place is connected to Teaspoon so you can also order drinks from their menu.

Look at the meat. Awesome, right? Taste is even better. Come and have a try. They are really spicy. ( they have non spicy options as well) but they are for sure good at spicy soup and all kinds of meat and vegetables

Authentic Sichuan hoptot that's been around for a while. The ingredients are always fresh with some authentic items like Kobe and American Wagyu beef. The food are slightly on the pricey side so that means you don't have to wait in the line as long.

Authentic hot pot broth, fresh meat, and friendly server. Love the yellow peach in the self-service bar, recommend this place.

Greet food and service here！Best hotpot in Mountain View. They offer great service and foods. You can enjoy free milk tea and beer if you arrive before 7pm

This hotpot restaurant was so cute! I loved the decor and the table setup. They had drawers on both sides with napkins and what looked like aprons (so you don't splash broth on your clothes). I appreciate the fact that the bowls, chopsticks and spoons were in a sanitizing machine rather than just sitting out by the sauce bar. I also liked that you scan the QR code at the table and order all of the ingredients you want. If multiple people are ordering at the same time, you can actually see what they're ordering so you're not ordering duplicates. Once someone places the order, everyone can see the order go through. If you want to order more later, you can. We went for the 3 broth pot and got the mushroom, pork and chicken and medium level spicy broth. I was not expecting the medium to be that spicy but it was delicious. There was even a cute little cow made of butter. The server stuck it in the broth before I could get a picture. My coworker fished it out for me though. The pork and chicken broth had pork intestines in there and they were delicious and tender. We ended up ordering a plate of pork intestines. The service was great. They brought out the dishes fast and refilled our water bottle a few times. I think my favorite thing that came out was the wagyu beef and kidney, just because of the presentation. It came out on these dishes that had pretty flowers and dry ice fog/smoke. Taste-wise, the pork intestines and lamb were my favorites. We found a parking spot in a parking lot close by (sort of across from the restaurant (we turned on Blossom Ln). But there's also street parking as well. I definitely would come here again the next time I'm in the area

Serves authentic Chongqing Hotpot with a good variety of dishes and help-yourself-appetizers/dipping sauce bar. our go to place for hotpot and our favorites are Beef Tripe, Angus Beef, Buttery Hot Pot. You can apply for a membership card to get perks like free angus beef, drink, etc.

One of my favorite hot pot spots due to aesthetic (interior design gives off this you're in China having hot pot) and some of the options here. They say no reservations and you can get on waitlist on Google (not Yelp). Inside waiting area is kind of small since Teaspoon is right next to them. They're two stories and it'll cost you to bring your drinks with you (hence the option to order teaspoon drinks from their menu). It's scan QR code to order. I would always do the combination broth (spicy and another broth) and not the 9 squares one (I ordered just spicy broth once with a waiter since we had to ordered broth right away and it was my second time there and I didn't order the first time and she got me this). I find it very annoying especially if you have more people since each square is very small and it feels restricted to me. When you do the combination broth (just two broths), beware of how spicy you get the spicy because it's actually spicy. But if you get spicy and then step your spice down after (something doesn't feel right and feel like there's no flavor). Compared to Haidelao, I personally feel like this place has more options. Duck blood cubes is a must for me, they have the tender beef (like the ones in China), some spicy beef skewers. Overall, more diverse options. Their beef is a must get, fatty (pretty good and cheap). Sauce bar: $4.99 per person? I personally think that their sauce bar variety isn't as good. They still have the basic such as garlic, cilantro, green onions, and such. No chili pepper flakes here, have to order for $5. They do have fruit, fried dough, and shrimp chips as well as some others. Ask for the oil, it's good. Service can be a hit or miss depending on how busy it is. It's is a Chinese place, they aren't rude. You just have to ask for it. Napkin is in the little drawer on your table but they suck. It's not a all you can eat place. They have ice cream machines here as well. Rooms available (minimum $300-$400 though).

Favourite hotpot spot in the Bay Area. Foods are fresh and authentic, service is good.

I have a great exprience in this hotpot!Hope everyone can like the Chinese hot pot! Highly recommend!
