Absolutely loved this spot. The mala broth was super spicy and the tom yum was so unique, I never had Thai flavors at a hot pot place. The unlimited menu is huge and everything I had on it was great, the brisket, veggies, side dishes like fried chicken. Oh and don't skip tha beef fat rice. I left very full and satisfied.
I really enjoyed eating dinner here! I thought that the cost of the all you can eat option was super fair. The quality of the meat was really good, and I also loved the many different types of mushrooms I could boil! Plus, the egg was delightful. I liked soft boiling the egg and then dipping meat in the yolk. The shrimp tempura was also fantastic. I don't think it was tempura, per se, but it was some of the best fried shrimp I've had in recent memory; I don't actually care about the improper nomenclature. Service was good and I liked the murals on the walls! Next time I come here, I hope the soft serve ice cream machine is working again.
Excellent restaurant. Good service, good food. It's been a year since I discovered hot pot and I'm always happy to find a new place that I can go to. It seems to be one of my favorite types of restaurants now. We recently discovered Azure Hot Pot. It was packed full of people, they asked us if we had a reservation, which we did not, but they found a spot for us. So take that into consideration if you want to try it, you might want to call and book a table. I had never ordered all you can eat style before this. I thought it was a decent price to pay for all you can eat. And I'm definitely looking forward to going back. The food was delicious.
Good experience nothing fancy but their births are delicious. Tom young soup is a mild spicy but so flavorful. Great variety of meats and must try the mushroom variety. Less than $45/persom They have beer and sake too.
Loved the atmosphere. Artwork on the wall was fun. Was seated quickly. All you can eat hot pot? Yes please! Been a hot minute since we did hot pot, so it hit the spot. Will be back!
All you can eat hot pot with various prices for kids, adults, seniors which is cool and a nice aspect. Meat was really good but very very thin. But because it was ayce it wasn't a huge issue. Ayce also comes with a scoop of ice cream for dessert which was a good touch! They also make it easy to order more food by scanning a QR code at the table instead of waiting for the servers to come
Excited to find this Thai/ Japanese hot pot on Shattuck so we decided to give it a try. Clean, college vibes for interior, they were not busy so we got seated right the way. It's AYCE with a few selections.for broth. We decided to try the Tom Yum and Miso. Both broths and the 3 dipping sauces were flavorful. For the AYCE we feel the portion they brought out were very small. The ingredients were fresh enough but perhaps the portion were served on tiny plates that made it feel a bit budgetted. They checked in often enough to see if we would need anything else but for the price and how little everything was we didn't find the value in it. Also the side dishes were not good very school cafeteria like, the smallest dingy bowl.of fried rice, dry pot sticker, I can barely finished one tiny tempura shrimp...so I get the little bite side serving, since you can't finish them anyway...lol Btw a small cup of hot tea with a tea bag is $3. You could ask for more hot water but perhaps a pot with the same one tea bag is better...I have mix feeling about it, since there aren't too many Thai and Japanese hot pot in one location we may come back to eat but still feel that it is not worth the price. The convenience and.comfort.of a buffet, self service even for the veggies should be a bit better. So service 4 star Food more like 3.5 Ambience 3.5 Overall 3.5 got an extra half star for the broths ( I could taste MSG but not over powering but that's what brings the umami flavors a quick and cheap fix to a soup base)
Very welcoming interior, & friendly wait staff. The sukiyaki and mala broths were tasty. The cuttlefish was a unique menu item I haven't had before. We ended up having 4 kurabata pork, because they were just that good. The pitcher of singha was also a pleasant surprise.
Food was pretty average. We wished there was a sauce bar, they have three pre made that they serve you. They were also out of many appetizers that they said were included in the price. Ice cream was good!
Delicious hot pot spot! Definitely needs more love! Unlimited meats, sides and soft serve for a great price. Me and the wifey enjoyed our meat with some sukiyaki and miso soup bases and our favorite meats were the lamb and beef belly. The beef fat fried rice is a MUST try. Def will be back! Curtis our server was awesome!
Japanese sukiyaki broth (7/10) I like their Thai dipping sauces (7.5/10) Definitely try their dipping sauce !
Great little neighborhood Thai style hot pot. Expect chill vibes, attentive servers, and quality ingredients. Naturally, don't compare this place to places that do a la carte but within the AYCE family? Pretty damn good. Oh! And unlimited soft serve ice cream!
===TL;DR=== - AYCE MEAT only (from my experience) - Tom yum and Mala spicy soup - Street parking ===TMI=== The moment you walk in, you're immediately greeted with their primary color space. Couldn't tell if they're not popping off yet or it's cause we came on a Sunday evening. The server was very sweet and nice. Good meat quality, on the thinner side. Broth used were also tasty. The server was very attentive whenever our meat was running low. Didn't notice there was a time limit so that's always a plus for those with bigger appetites. Don't let the thin slices fool you cause before you know it, your belly gets filled to the brim! The highlight was their sauces! Personally the Thai one was my favorite so don't be shy to ask for a refill when you're running low! Although they were AYCE, we're not sure why we got charged for extra udons.. -shrug-. The menu state "All Hotpot We serve with Vegatables and Noodle" but they also have an add on vegetable menu so I'm assuming you don't get free refills... and ONLY the meats were AYCE. Right when you thought your battle is coming to an end, they remind you that there are still soft serves to end the meal! Yes, soft serves, not ice cream. Thai tea and vanilla. They don't have an elaborate menu but have all the shabu staples. Give them a go if you're a shabu fan!

The service was really good for there only being 1 guys on staff and 1 in the kitchen. The ambiance was nice and clean but they didnt have ventilation at all for any of the tables so my sweater got humid after being there for an hour. As we left, the windows were also super foggy so thats really why I gave it 4 stars. For the broth we got TomYum and Miso. The TomYum was super spicy we had to add water to dilute it, I usually like spicy stuff but I was holding in a cough trying to drink the broth. Also the TomYum soup uses that pepper that makes your mouth numb, so if you dont like that then dont order it. Everything else like the meat and veggies was as expected. read more

Had a lot of expectation for this place. As the only japanese AYCE hotpot in town, it doesn't really have much competition. The meat here is of descent quality, the Tom Yum soup is great, though the Sukiyaki soup lacks some flavor for the beef that is supposed to be accompanied by only egg. The service quality though... One of the waitresses has been really passive aggressive to food order, especially beef. She makes comments about you shouldn't order this much, despite all I have was six plates. It is nice that they have the online ordering system, so that they should just bring what u order. Yet in reality, in my second order, they served me everything EXCEPT beef. Seriously, this is a AYCE spot. At one point when I have only sat for 40 minutes, she already gives me the bill and asking me if I was all done, while my order was still half filled. Even after I ask them for the missing beef in my order, they cut the number and serves me 2 plates for the 6 I ordered. It was infuriating when this place is advertised as AYCE and the option I paid should cover it all. If you cant afford the beef, make them limited or label it in your menu. The service side experience is just awful, its painful to stand that this place has no competitions in this part of bay. read more

Pink hot pot near UC Berkeley, tasted very good! It's an all you can eat restaurant and honestly the quality of their meat is good. The dipping sauces are also special and I like the spicy one the most. The people are super nice as well. Their interior design looks like a study room but it's neat and clean. read more

kind of empty on a sunday night, but we came around 8:30 so i assumed the dinner rush was over. good amount of seating and even tables for large groups! only one server working on the floor. she seemed new so i gave her the benefit of the doubt bc as a server myself i understand lolol AYCE is $38/pp. the tom yum soup has real tom yum flavor and they really got it down! the miso was good but eventually it gets pretty salty, next time id prob only get the tom yum. meat quality is pretty good (not bad/not spectacular) - we got the chuckeye, brisket, and beef belly. they have good options of veggies, i was really happy to see shemeji and woodear mushrooms on the menu since not many places offer that! the dipping sauces are different from other places, im not sure what they exactly were but the red one w the sesame seeds was my favorite - they all have a kick to them! hopefully in the future they can install their cooktops within the table and get better ventilation in there and expand a little on their menu. otherwise had a really great meal and experience! read more

This is our second time at Azure Hotpot and it's officially our favorite hotpot spot in the East Bay! The broth is so flavorful and comforting, and the sauces are seriously the bomb. The quality of the meat is top notch--you can really taste the difference. On top of that, the service is amazing. Our waiter was super nice and very attentive, which just made the whole experience even better. The ambiance here is also really nice--it's not chaotic at all, so you can actually relax and enjoy your food without feeling rushed. Honestly, everything about this place hits the spot. We'll definitely keep coming back! read more

Do they offer a la carte hot pot pricing as well, or only AYCE?
AYCE only I believe
Is there a minimum person allowed? I can only go on my own so not sure if I can come for it.
