The 10 Best Hot Pot Restaurants In SF

"Looking for hot pot for your birthday? Look no further than Fiery Hot Pot and Grill. Spin the giant birthday wheel at this Inner Sunset restaurant for a chance at a free drink, dessert, or wagyu beef on top of the $38 AYCE menu that comes with limitless proteins, noodles, and veggies. Then boil (or grill for an extra $5) your meaty bounty in broths like coconut curry and roasted tomato. Individual pots mean vegetarians and vegans can head in their own direction. For those who hate making decisions, get one of the set menus (it left our table so full we could barely set our arms down) with the fiery beef broth." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, ricky rodriguez

Fiery Hot Pot And Grill Review - Sunset - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Fiery Hot Pot and Grill is a decidedly fun restaurant. Groups of friends come together at this Asian fusion spot in the Inner Sunset to celebrate anniversaries and birthdays—spin the birthday wheel for a chance at a free drink, dessert, or wagyu beef. On weekend nights, you can feel the joy in the air from everyone who's ready to grill thinly sliced meats or boil them in their broth of choice (there are unexpected flavors like coconut curry and roasted tomato). We also like that this place is chose-your-own-adventure—there's a multitude of options, and you won’t be disappointed whether you go AYCE or set menu. Both give you more than enough meats, noodles (or rice), and tapas. And individual pots mean vegetarians and vegans can head in their own direction. We prefer the set menu with the fiery spice beef broth (get it anywhere from non-spicy to fiery). The málà seasoning numbs you through the pain no matter which spice level you choose." - Ricky Rodriguez

The experience here was awful from start to finish. As soon as we walked in, the place reeked like wet dog. We ordered sodas, and they all tasted like sink water with sugar. When we asked for canned drinks, we were told they didn’t have any. We got three hot pots and KBBQ—one of the broths was disgusting. I asked if I could switch it for a different flavor and was told I’d be charged again unless they “fixed” it (still not sure how you fix a broth that tastes that bad). I declined. To make it worse, the owners stood around staring at us and clearly talking about us—it was uncomfortable and unprofessional. The only decent thing was the dessert, but that’s not enough to save the experience. The place needs serious cleaning, better service, and way more respect for customers. Definitely do not recommend. 🤮

Excellent hot pot and grill! Highly recommend the teryaki beef and short ribs! The cumin beef is too strong in flavor Great friendly service and staff

I've been here twice. Overall pretty good ambience. The service during my first visit was better than the second visit. However, during the first visit, they gave one dessert for our table. Are we supposed to share a scoop of ice cream among us? On the second visit, each person on our table got the chance to choose a dessert. And also, they didn't bring out some of the items I ordered, so I had to ask them for it. I like the food options available, so it's still good overall and I would come back next time.

The vibe and food here is so good! I was surprised it wasn’t busier!! Hot Pot and Kbbq combo is cheaper than most places offering just one thing. I went with some friends and we for sure got our money’s worth and more 😩 There are so many options for both the grill and hot pot it’s hard not to just get everything! The waitress was super helpful at picking broths and explaining what we were getting it was so nice I wish I would have gotten her name! The cutlery also makes it feel like such an elevated experience and they also have a SAUCE BAR which i loved and not many places have. We also even got a scoop of ice cream which was super good but hard to eat after all the food 🤣If i could give it more than 5 stars I definitely would and I will be returning 😸🩷

We tried this place on a Saturday during lunch time. Quite some people in there but wasn’t too crowded. The ceilings were high so it probably made the space feel more spacious👍🏻. We got the AYCE hot pot & grill ($43 per person, but we got a $5 off per person discount, not sure why but of course we wouldn’t say no to that🤪). The servings were pretty big, and the food came really fast right after we ordered. The tables were not huge but they took away the empty plates and stuff on your table pretty fast so you don’t have to pile lots of things up. However, the taste of the food was a bit more on the saltier side. I got the fiery spice beef with the fiery level for my hot pot’s broth and the salt level was way higher than the spice level. The marinated meats were also pretty salty for someone that’s not used to a super high salt level😫. If you love big servings of meat and high salt levels you’ll definitely appreciate this place much more than I did😅. The dessert they gave us that day was peanut butter chocolate ice cream. I love ice cream but unfortunately I’m not a big fan of the peanut butter chocolate flavor.

Great selection of food, but they need help presenting the menu. There are literally five different menu, separately laminated and not clearly marked has to which section you are looking at. The food is self-cooked with either a personal hot pot or Korean style BBQ burner grill for meats. The servers were attentive but the only place to knock them down for the menu situation was under atmosphere. I didn’t want to knock down the servers because of a confusing menu from the management/owners. A simple binder or bound menu would fix this situation right up.

We will never return to this place again. I’ll never forget the attitude and expression of the waitress who was working on Saturday, June 7th. She refused to provide me with a chair and seemed annoyed that my child was walking around. The prices are high, and the customer service was extremely poor. To whoever manages this establishment: please consider providing proper training to the waitress who was working that day — she was the only one on duty. The other staff members were polite and professional.

Fiery Hot Pot is an AYCE hot pot and/or BBQ spot with great prices, ingredients, and service. For $34/person, we got AYCE hot pot in individual pots (!!!), and there's currently a $6 soju cocktail deal that's unbeatable in the city. The ingredients were so fresh and delicious, from the fries (...lol) to the marbled beef. Our party of nine came in starving and left beyond stuffed. Also -- one of our party has dietary restrictions, and the staff brought out a detailed menu outlining which foods were okay to eat. There wasn't one thing I disliked on the menu. The wagyu meatballs were a highlight that I hadn't seen at other restaurants, and the cocktails were so impressive. We came in an hour before closing and the staff generously let us stay an hour after closing, even offering us dessert as part of the AYCE menu. Tip: You can spin a wheel for a free gift on your birthday week! We will absolutely be back (much earlier in the day next time), and this restaurant is 100% going on my list of SF bookmarks.

The coconut curry broth was a hit, especially with spice levels that are adjustable (warning--mild can still pack a punch). The pork broths are flavorful, and the ingredients are fresh. I always appreciate the individual pots and DIY sauce bar. I'm not too familiar with hot pot and AYCE places in and around the bay, so this is a good one to add to the list. Ordering is easy via QR code--just make sure one person orders for the group. We went with the AYCE deal--still a good value even though we miss the old set menu with more variety. Wagyu and cumin lamb are highlights. Again, spice levels can be intense, so choose wisely! Service is generally friendly, though can slow down when it's busy. If you're a big group, call ahead--upstairs seating is limited.

We had a nice run here. I've written a couple reviews about this place before, but just thought I should update because they've made a major change to their menu. This place used to be our go-to place for hot pot because they had a great set menu - you get to choose your broth, two meats, a handful of veggies/meatballs/etc, and rice or noodles. We recently went back, and now they've changed it so that you still get to choose your broth, you still get to choose two meats, but then you no longer get to choose anything else. So what came was a few pieces of vegetables, and a bunch of fish/shrimp balls we didn't really eat (no subs). You also don't get noodles anymore. The quality of food was still fine, but with this change I don't think we'll be dining here anymore .

Came here for the restaurant week hotpot combo on a Thursday night and it was amazing! I got the Fire Spice numbing broth and although I couldn't taste any of the numbing, it was quite delicious. The amount and variety of veggies was perfect, and the Wagyu beef was delicious! The staff was also super friendly and kind. :)

Friday night and no wait. AYCE hot pot and KBBQ at a great price. Plenty of meat and veg options, as well as seafood and side items. You order initial and refills from your phone. Service was quick and friendly. Love that they have a sauce bar. And I was pleasantly surprised to end the meal with ice cream. Great atmosphere.

Love this place! We usually go to the other location, but this location happened to be closer to us that day. Parking was easy, but then again we went late in the evening. We made reservations online and they seated us fairly quickly when we got there. I love that we all get our own pot. Their sauce station seemed a bit sparse compared to the other location. The waiter was very helpful. Placed our order right away. We did run into a few issues when we placed our own order through the phone. We ordered: - Rich Pork broth - so good. Very rich tasting - Coconut Curry broth - very flavorful, but the pork is just a tad better. We love their premium meats. We ordered several orders. They even had a deal for us that night that gave us a discount on the price or add the grill option for the same price as just the AYCE hot pot. We were not that hungry so we opted just for the discount, but if we were hungrier it was a good deal to get both. Aside from some ordering issues from the phone, the experience was great overall. We all left with our bellies full and a smile on our face. We will definitely be back.

EH, i dont know. I've visited this restaurant twice in the past month, hoping to like it, but unfortunately, it hasn't quite hit the mark for me. During my first visit, I came with a group of four on Christmas Eve around 7:45PM. Unsurprisingly, the place was almost full, asian restaurants are always the go to on holidays! They were clearly understaffed, with just two employees running around serving and cleaning tables. It took about 20 minutes for them to clean four tables for the waitlist. Considering it was a holiday, I understand staffing challenges, so I wasn't too bothered by the wait. We opted for the set menu. I chose the tom yum soup base, but it was overly salty and didn't pair well with noodles or rice like I usually prefer. On the other hand, my group enjoyed their pork soup base. The wagyu house cut was a highlight, though. The sauce bar was decent. You can create a good sauce but I wish they offered more variety- I want to be able to use ingredients i don't typically have at home! One small annoyance: the sugar in the container was clumped together, making it impossible to pour. Little things like that could be easily fixed during downtime. During my second visit, I came with a larger group of seven around 7PM. Once again, they seemed understaffed. It appeared they hadn't anticipated opening the upstairs section for larger parties, so we had to wait 20 minutes for them to set up. In my opinion, they should always have the space ready at opening, just in case. On the bright side, the guy who seems to be the owner/manager stepped in to help, which was much appreciated. We went with the AYCE this time. I tried the coconut curry soup base, which I'd recommend BUT stick to mild or no spice. I went with medium spice, and all I could taste was spicy oil, which I had to scoop out. Some others in my party chose the roast beef soup base, but it was too overpowering to enjoy for more than a few bites. They even had to scoop out half the soup base to dilute it with water to make it tolerable. The restaurant filled up quickly after we were seated, but the food came out in a timely manner thanks to their food elevator system. Overall, there are some redeeming qualities here, like the wagyu house cut, pork soup base and the coconut curry soup base, but the inconsistent flavors and lack of preparation/staffing really impacted my experience. While I don't completely rule out coming back, I'd hope to see improvements before giving it another try.

It was just one of those days when hotpot sounded like a good choice for dinner. Arrived on Friday night at around 7pm, and there were plenty of tables open. Pros (didnt really have any cons) - The staff were friendly and attentive. Quick to answer questions and checked on us often. Everything - from the veggies to the meats - all tasted fresh. Items arrived quickly. Lots of choices and we were stuffed. Fave meats for me were the cumin lamb and wagyu. Loved the watercress and oyster mushrooms. There were a few sweets on the menu, but they also gave us mango sorbet at the end of our meal. It's a 90 minute time limit, and they came over to tell us when our time was almost up. However, it was more than enough time for us.

All cuts of meat had good flavor and had a good rat ratio of fat. The thick cuts of meat tasted good and our server was very attentive with taking empty trays away. for the price, the quality of food was really good and I will be coming back.

There was a special promotion for ayce hot pot for $34. We all did it and the food was great. I got the beef soup with medium spice, but it was still pretty spicy so beware! The soup was solid though. We loved the options of food we could order and definitely ordered a lot. The first round took awhile to get to the table but after that the food started flooding in. I think they were just too busy in the beginning. The quality was pretty good and especially for that promo price. The service was good despite it being busy, which i felt the biggest downfall was the wait. Would come back again!

Came here for restaurant week and got the ayce hot pot! Super yummy menu items and good quality meat. The sauce bar is also good but could use more options. The staff was so friendly and they also gave us ice cream.

Restaurant week is here! Although, we opted for the AYCE hot pot because it was only $4 more with the promotion ($34 AYCE vs $30 special with lobster tail). Being new parents, we had dinner pretty early, around 5:30pm and it was already busy. We were able to get the last table! The service is friendly and the food was all very fresh. We ordered the fiery spicy beef broth (medium spice) and the rich pork broth (medium spice) and they were delicious. The medium spice level has a good kick of flavor for the meats and not so spicy that the veggie segment of the meal was unbearable to eat.. rather pleasant actually. Ordering AYCE is through a QR code and they advise to use only one phone so the ordering system doesn't get confused. The raw meat and vegetables came out very quickly. The hot foods took a bit longer and are decent. Nothing from the hot food section is a must try but the season fries were definitely a nice change of pace from all the meat. The restaurant was clean and they have an upstairs for what looks like larger groups. Overall this was a really pleasant experience and the food was awesome. We will need to come back for the KBBQ! Yummy certified!

I don't have any pictures because I always forget to take pictures when the food comes out because I'm so hungry and it's so good but I came here on my birthday this year and the restaurant was supposed to close around 8:30 or nine and they do not complain at all when I realized my party was still there at almost 10 o'clock at night. The staff is very nice and I won the lobster tail on my birthday which automatically made that my new favorite hot pot place. I would appreciate a favor sign pointing to the station because I didn't see it the first two times I went through until I was getting ready to leave and I saw a guy his daughter go to the sauce station other than that. perfection.

Hot pot is all year round when you're in SF! This place is modern-looking and clean inside. We stopped by on a Friday night with a few friends for AYCE. We didn't see many people in the restaurant, but we were told to give them a few minutes to get our table ready. At the entrance, there is a birthday wheel, even though my birthday was in 3 days (Monday), I wasn't technically allowed to spin for a random free item. I even showed them my ID, but they told me to come back tomorrow! Oh well. I guess it wasn't my lucky day. We all decided to have hot pot and grill for $38.99 (summer special). We proceeded by scanning the QR Code to place our order. I like that we get our own soup, though it doesn't give variety. My friends had spicier broths, while I had the non-spicy, rich roast beef broth, since I was getting over a cough/cold. The DIY sauce bar is nice where you can mix whatever concoction you'd like for dipping. Their menu has a lot of good quality meat and veggies to choose from! I couldn't keep track of all that we ordered, but the wagyu, ribeye, and pork belly were our favorites. We also enjoyed munching on taro chips. I love beef tendon, but I felt they needed to be cut down into smaller pieces, so it would be easier to eat and cook. Otherwise, everything went well with what we ordered. At the very end, the waitresses surprised me with a slice of cheesecake and a candle! That was a nice touch! We also got cookies & cream ice cream with our AYCE meal. TOTALLY STUFFED! We'll definitely consider Fiery hot pot and grill, whenever we have that craving again!

Restaurant is modern and trendy! Love the ambiance and the cutlery here. Food was great, hot pot broth was tasty and the meats were quality cuts. Veggies were green and fresh. We visited on Christmas Day so the restaurant was packed however we were able to get in early. Service was a bit slow at times but they were busy to the point the staff was running around! The condiment, sauces and garnish station was empty or nearly empty most of the time. If you love premium cuts for hot pot or k-BBQ this is the spot.

We went on Monday night with a party of 13. We were very fortunate that they could seat upstairs in their bigger seating areas. Their biggest table does only seat 10, so we did have to split between two tables. Their ordering system is through QR code, and was pretty easy to use. They had many different options of sides and slices of meat. My husband and I do like spice and we got medium spice levels in our soup, and we felt that there was already at a good spice level. You can make your own sauces and they offer a dessert after your meal.

Our absolute favorite hotpot in SF! The food is always fresh and the team is very attentive. Restaurant is also very clean and the sauce bar is always full. We love the coconut curry broth and appreciate that the spice level can be customized. We come at least once a month and it's a visit that's always looked forward to. Anytime we bring our friends, they love it as well! Wait time is usually low but call ahead if you have a large group. Their tables are best suited for 4-5 people max.

We came on a Friday night for dinner and were seated up stairs. They wouldn't give us individual pots for hotpot and half of our party had to share the big pot on a gas stove while all the other tables around us had individual pots. We asked to switch tables, they wouldn't let us as well. Service was also very slows, maybe because we were on the 2nd floor and they only came up or checked in when they delivered the food. It took over 20 mins to get our bill. Food wise, they have a variety of options but they weren't the best cuts of meat. For the hotpot broth, we got the pork broth but it had a burnt flavor (before we even started cooking anything). Their sauce bar was a lot smaller than other hot pot locations that I've been to.

I have mixed feelings about Fiery Hot Pot. The first time I went here (on a weekend), I was impressed by their menu. Their meats were tender and good, and their vegetables were fresh. In addition, their service was fast and attentive. I was really impressed at how the waiter tried to help me make my broth less spicy. Despite being busy, their ambiance was still nice and relatively quiet. Being impressed by Fiery Hot Pot, I came back on a weekday with a few friends. This time, however, I had a very different experience. The meats and vegetables did not look or taste fresh. In fact, my friends and I all had stomach issues later that night. I think it was from the pork. Moreover, a few of the vegetables were yellow and looked old. I was also very disappointed with the broth, as it tasted sour and less flavorful compared to last time. In addition, the service was very inattentive, and there were a few times when I would have to get up to ask for refills on water or napkins. My friends and I were all disappointed at this experience. While I had two very different experiences, the one thing that remained the same was their Taro Chips. I thoroughly enjoy eating their Taro Chips and would love to buy some. Their Taro Chips are light and flavorful! If you are coming on a weekend, be sure to get there early because they get crowded fast! I checked in and then walked around the area.

We made reservations for a party of 8 to celebrate a special occasion. When we got there, we were separated into two tables. We asked to sit together since we were celebrating a special occasion and had made RESERVATIONS, but they said someone else made reservations BEFORE us and reservations were first come first serve! How about you don't accept reservations for large parties if you are going to split up the group?!? Even though we were two separate tables, ordered separately, and were served separately, they still added the mandatory service charge for large parties. Since the tables are shared booth-seats, the party behind us had rowdy kids who were jumping and kicking their seats. We got the set menu which used to be good. Before, it came with a choice of sides, but now it comes with a random assortment of fish/meats balls; the worse is the hot dog. A lot of the sauces and condiments at the sauce bar were empty and the floor around it was sticky.

TL;dr: 4 stars. Lots of good stuff already happening, but there's always room for improvement! Nice and quick service. Efficient ordering system. A wide variety of options for both hot pot and kbbq at a reasonable price. Meat quality was good, but not the best. Some items sold out as the night went on, which was a bummer. I came here on a Friday evening around 6:15pm and there was already a short waitlist. Thankfully, we got seated pretty quickly as we were only a party of 2, while everyone else had larger parties. Tip: Add yourself to the waitlist via Yelp! Space: Clean, modern, with high ceilings, so it didn't feel stuffy. There was even more seating upstairs. On the day we went, there were several meal options, and all were under $40/pp: - ($30 Promo) SF Restaurant Week set meal for hot pot or kbbq - Set meal for hot pot or kbbq - ($34 Anniversary Promo) AYCE hot pot or kbbq - ($38 Anniversary Promo, but normally $43) AYCE hot pot and kbbq The waitress took our drink and meal option orders, then directed us to a bar code to order the rest of the food. We kept going back and forth, but ultimately decided to go all in and get the AYCE hot pot and kbbq. One of the best perks of doing AYCE vs hot pot/kbbq at home is being able to try a variety of options without having to buy a lot of each food! And so we did just that. I appreciated that the servings were all smaller, so you can order more of things you like and not waste things you don't like. The waitress set us up with a kbbq grill in the middle and 1 individual hot pot each (2 hot pots total). Sauce Bar: Came free with the meal! (I hate when places charge for sauce.) It was nothing crazy but still had all the essential sauces you need for hot pot. I was pretty happy with it. Food: The overall meat quality was good, not great. They had so many options for both hot pot and kbbq. Sometimes it became confusing to know which meat was for which cooking method. - For kbbq, I preferred the marinated options over the non-marinated. I liked the kalbi and was surprised to see it on the AYCE menu as not all kbbq places serve them. The spicy pork had a weird texture and after taste, so that was my least favorite. - For hot pot, we got 1 numbing beef broth and 1 Tom yum, both medium spicy. It started off really spicy, but the spice leveled out as the meal went on and I added more food to the pot. Both broths were flavorful and yummy. Though I'm not sure Tom yum and Chinese dipping sauces complement each other. They had a nice variety of options for veggies and meat. All the hot pot meat tasted closely the same to me when cooked in the broth. By the end of our meal, the app menu indicated that all of the dessert options (fried donuts w/ condensed milk and crème brûlée) were sold out. I was a bit disappointed, but our server came by and asked if we wanted cookies and cream ice cream. This was not on the menu, but it was still pretty good. I'm just generally not into cookies and cream, so I wished they also had a 1-2 other options! Drinks: They serve beer, wine and sake. I got a lychee sake cocktail ($12). It was on the sweeter side but still balanced and tasty. Parking: Mostly metered street parking. There were spaces available and parking was free by then. (Payment required until ~6pm maybe??) Service: The restaurant was quite busy, but our waitresses were all still nice and helpful. The food always came out pretty quickly. They were also constantly clearing our empty plates or offering to change our grill, which I appreciated. A random note/recommendation: Waffles fries were well-seasoned and crispy. While these were good, I'd suggest making the portions smaller for AYCE. Don't get me wrong - I loveeee fries! It's just that they take up a lot of space in your stomach, especially during an AYCE meal. The portion would have been great for sharing among 3-4 people. We only had 2 people and didn't finish the whole plate, so it felt wasteful. Overall, I'd come back again. The level of commitment (AYCE or set) will depend on my mood. But they have a wide variety of foods and reasonably priced options for both hungry folks as well as lighter eaters. It's always soup weather in SF, and Fiery Hot Pot has something for almost everyone.

Food: delicious; for restaurant week super small portion for the three meats. Service: slow for table service. Restaurant week for one at lunch. Ambience: modern and clean I won't be returning. Maybe I'll give the taraval location a try?

First time at this place and we actually really like it! We had to wait a bit to be seated even though the restaurant was very empty. Once seated, we realized the price of AYCE and grill was $43 and did not include drinks (when we called twice, someone over the phone said this price includes everything and the drinks so this was a bit disappointing). Each person gets their own pot with a soup of your choice. I got tom yum soup medium spicy and it's really good! This is the first time I tried tom yum broth and it's really close to authentic tom yum soup (I am Thai). I was going to go with spicy level but decided to just do medium spicy and I am glad for that because their spice level is no joke! You order everything with the phone app through the QR code and you can order 10 items at a time. You can order more after every item arrives at your table. They have a lot of selections and they bring everything out fast which is great. They also gave us one lobster tail each and it was super yummy. The only thing I don't like is their small bowl for us to eat with is pretty small and hard to eat in it. This place is great overall. Although it's not a must stop place for hot pot for me in SF but I recommend everyone to try this place out!

3.25 stars The broth wasn't a satisfying flavor. It didn't have that rich pork flavor. The food was alright. The vegetables were relatively fresh and the meat was tender. The staff were nice, but slow on their feet. Not sure what the logic was behind cleaning multiple tables before seating a table of two. The interior was cozy with a fake fiery flame and fun Christmas decoratives for the holidays. The overall price was alright comparing to other places.

We will never return to this place again. I'll never forget the attitude and expression of the waitress who was working on Saturday, June 7th. She refused to provide me with a chair and seemed annoyed that my child was walking around. The prices are high, and the customer service was extremely poor. To whoever manages this establishment: please consider providing proper training to the waitress who was working that day -- she was the only one waitress on duty and others are waiters. The other waiters were polite. Don't get me wrong we still tip 20% for other waiters although we don't want to tip her service.

Came here on a Sunday evening to celebrate a birthday. Made a reservation for five people at 7pm. We arrive a minute or two early and was seated after only a couple of minutes. No long delay. We were celebrating one party member's birthday. He had to show his ID to prove that it was his birthday that day and then he got to spin the gift wheel. He won the reusable bag. He thought "oh no, another cheap bag that I won't use!" They told him that he would receive his prize at the end of dinner. We were seated upstairs which was decorated appropriately with lights and balloons that spelled out "Happy Birthday". This was the first time for some of us. The server well explained to ordering process, location of the self service sauce bar and quickly took our order. We scanned the QR code to place each next serving of food selections. Food was delivered to us very quickly and she always kept our water pitchers full of water. At the appropriate time she asked if we wanted any other main dish selections, and if we were ready for ice cream. The food was very good and of good quality (of course we cooked everything ourselves). Everything (except the lamb) was tender. I think the lamb may not have been cut correctly so it was a bit tough. Other than that, we were quite pleased with the food, selection, and service. I do recommend and will be back. Sorry, did not pictures of the raw meats.

Came on a Saturday morning for lunch and was seated immediately. We opted for the ayce hotpot and bbq but you could get a set menu as well. The hotpot's are individual pots, which is great. We order the dishes via phone and are limited by 10 dishes per order. The dishes offered are quite unique compared to most hotpot places. They also have a sauce and fruit bar!

Probably the best bbq in the bay area!! Their meat is just top notch. I really like having soups whenever I'm having k-BBQ, unfortunately I'm not a fan of their soups but that's maybe because I'm used to having sundubu-jjigae.. But my friends like it. Either way I still keep recommending this place. I also love their matcha and ice cream dessert!!

When you first walk into Fiery, you notice that it is modern, well decorated (including Christmas decorations since it's the holidays!) with clean interiors and very high ceilings. There are two levels of seatings, spacious with plenty of tables. I noticed everyone gets their own individual pot which is nice. We signed into a Yelp wait list even though it wasn't particularly busy on an early Friday night and I saw some tables available. I soon realized why. It was because they are extremely short staff. I saw two servers running around servicing the whole restaurant. We got seated in about 15 mins and given two sets of menu: the set menu or the ACYE menu. We opted for the AYCE hot pot for $38 a person. You can also choose AYCE hot pot & grill for $43 a person. To order, you scan the QR code on the side of your table and can only choose up to 10 items at a time. The first round came out slowly but we got everything. Round 2, I noticed some items including veggies never came. Round 3, half our order did not even make it out. As they got busier and busier throughout the night, items were completely forgotten. Now the broth at Fiery is delicious and full of flavor! I went with mild but you can go all the way up to Fiery if you like it spicy! Mild had a nice kick to it as well. I opted for the Roasted Tomato flavor. The food quality was not bad overall. However the meat quality needs to be improved. Most of the beef had tendons attached. They looked frozen like they just sliced it in the back. The chicken, fish and pork belly was fine but the beef definitely needs higher quality. I think this was a great get together with friends on a cold winters day. It definitely warmed our souls! If they can improve upon the short staff, quality of meats and missing food orders, that would pull this place up to earn some stars!

I always gravitate towards this place when I don't want to eat AYCE hot pot. Their set menu lets you pick 2 meats, broth, carb and assorted veggies/add-ons for a solid price. Most places give you the standard napa cabbage, bokchoy, etc. so it's nice to get options such as watercress for a change! They also have a good diy sauce bar. I've never tried their grill menu but it seems like it's a popular choice at other tables. Ambience is super modern and clean with great service! Also, this location has individual pots vs their location on Taraval does not (which is why I always choose to come to Irving).

Went here for ayce hot pot. Service is great and they had a lot of meat / side options. Meat quality is okay. Went while they had a promo so it was a few dollars cheaper than usual! Great for big parties bc each person gets their own pot

My big brother wanted to come here to try and so we did . I'm glad we did . We got the all you can eat hotpot and grill and it came with 1 lobster tail per person. Totally worth the price of $43 per. I really enjoyed the shrimp paste , shrimp dumpling, beef tendon, pork belly for hotpot , the lamb for grill , the marinated grilled meats . Lots to select from They also had a cool birthday wheel where you can spin for a prize . It was my brothers birthday and so he won reusable bags lol . He said better than food cause we were too full to eat anymore The two girls who took care of us the whole time were awesome and even gave my brother a surprised birthday cheesecake and sang . Thank you so much for the good time !

The wait on a Monday night during sf restaurant week was absolutely atrocious. So understaffed which honestly means it's authentic haha. Meat quality was superb. Marinated ones like cumin and short rib were flavored uber well. Servers were responsive to our asks during our time period too. Stellar time

Love Fiery! Food was excellent especially the grilled food. Very flavorful and tender meats. Hot pots were great since they are individual. Restaurant is nice and modern. The owner, Pansy is super nice.

Did the hotpot and Korean bbq all you can eat. It was pretty good. However I noticed they sold out of things fast even though we got there when it just opened. Make sure you to make a reservation if you come with a large group. Service was a little slow since it was just one waitress there seem to be a lag with the qr code ordering as well.

The experience was so much fun. We came during restaurant week. We had both the grill and the hot pot. We were impressed that they had individual hot plates for the hot pot. The food was good for the price. The only thing we didn't like was the wait for the food to come. We waited for almost 45 minutes. They were so busy and it seemed like they need more servers. We will definitely return to give it another shot. Thank you, Ben, for taking care of us.

This place offers AYCE hot pot, AYCE KBBQ, and ala carte hot pot if you prefer a set. We ordered the ala carte hot pot which was actually the right amount of food since we were full but not overly stuffed. You can select your soup base and spice level, type of noodle, 2 proteins, and 5 sides which include vegetables and assorted seafood. I got the house cut and tender cut for the proteins and personally liked the tender cut more since it was less chewy than the house cut. The tomato base broth had a great flavor and hits the spot on a cold day. For my sides, I ordered one of them to be the fishball with roe but instead I got meatballs? It was fine but I thought it was weird that the staff did not mention to me that they had replaced my side, and another person in my party also had their fishballs replaced with meatballs. Would recommend making a reservation as it's a pretty popular place!

Good selection of meat and noodles and veggies. The woman who sat us was very good at informing us about what to do. I ordered the spicy beef broth mild. The broth was really good, just very spicy still for me. Next time I'll get the rich beef broth and add sauce. It's also not too pricey for AYCE hot pot. It was $38 per person and you definitely get your money's worth! Their wagyu cuts were delicious. The udon was perfect. Love the quail eggs too. The ice cream they had that day was chocolate peanut butter and surprisingly, I really liked it. It was very creamy and had a good flavor. I wanna know where they got it from!

The roast beef broth is really good! They have plenty of good meat options, I especially like the different cuts of wagyu they offer. The staff are very friendly and the restaurant is super clean as well. The price is very reasonable. One of my favorite hot pot spots in SF.

Oh my word, if I lived in City I'd be broke because I'd be eating here everyday. Their food is fire! My family and I went here and did the AYCE hot pot and grill. Oh boy, we could have just done the hotpot but we didn't pass off on the grill for just an extra $5. It was so worth it. Wagyu anything was the hit of the night. Our servers were amazing and on point. We did not have to wait long for our order. Although the place was a bit small, I loved the vibe. The countertop fire pits were a perfect touch for their name. The place is fiery!

Great service. Slight wait even with reservation. The seating is comfortable but big group tables upstairs sits too tightly. Food is generous and easy to order via the app (scan code on table). The worker comes to just jot down each person's broth order. Good variety for veggies and bonchans. Meat is mainly beef with rib eye being the preferred among our group.

Fiery is great! They have regular promotions for their business that offer great deals on their AYCE menus. I typically prefer just hotpot so I opt out of the AYCE KBBQ which is a few dollars more. They have a solid sauce bar and great ingredients. The interior is very nice and the service is quick. I would come back again.

Service here is great! Went for a late lunch on a Wednesday so every other kbbq place was closed. We stumbled up this place and opted to just do the kbbq. Most of their meats were recommended for hot pot. The meat the was for the grill was a little too thick cut for me. Sometimes I just want thinly sliced brisket. This wasn't a big deal because we still ordered the thinly sliced meat but it did stick to the grill. They have limited side dishes but that's okay. They offer chocolate ice cream to end your meal but we went with condensed milk buns.

as soon as we got in we had to wait when there was no like for like 10 minutes just watching them clean a table. when we FINALLY sat down.. we noticed some mysterious occurrences: 1) My friend placed a bowl on the table. The bowl proceeded to move on its own as if it was trying to avoid its fate 2) Out of nowhere, my friend lifted their arm to realize that their sleeve was soaked to the brim with water. we didn't spill water. WE DIDNT EVEN DRINK ANY WATER YET. where this water came from..no one knows. i still wonder to this day. now. for the food.. have u ever been eating eggs and suddenly get icked out? well thats EXACTLY what happens here. we got the all u can eat hot pot. the meat was okay. but it tasted all the same and was sickening in the end. but let me tell u. the shrimp was unlike any shrimp i have ever seen before. and in the worst way possible. IT STARTED OOZING ITS GUTS OUT WHEN I APPLIED PRESSURE TO IT TO PEEL IT. CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT THAT DID TO MY APPETITE????? I WAS APPALLED. but no. I HAD TO KEEP EATING TO AVOID THE EXTRA FOOD CHARGE FEE. i ate and ate. tears began to swell up. my friend suffered through the pain of eating as well. she was so excited (and so was I) to try out their dumplings. BUT GUESS WHAT?! SOLD OUT. THE ONLY THING THAT COULDVE CHEERED US UP AT THAT POINT WAS SOLD OUT. we were at rock bottom. only the fries and taro chips and spring rolls were keeping us from going gorilla mode. but... the fire decorations they had was rlly nice! only reason we came here to be honest. OH THE ICE CREAM WAS THE BEST VANILLA ICE CREAM IVE EVER HAD sincerely, table 15

The spicy broth we ordered was really tasty. The sauce bar is great addition. Drinks were on point and service was super friendly! Love this place and the one on Taraval .

Very disappointing experience. We arrived during early lunch hours when the restaurant was nearly empty -- only one table had customers, and the rest were unoccupied. Despite this, the server was extremely rude and told us to wait outside in front of the restaurant with a bad attitude. There was no explanation or courtesy offered. The service was unwelcoming and unprofessional. Definitely not recommended, and we will not be coming back.
