Really solid place for lunch. We ordered fried shrimp, sautéed lettuce, and 3 clay pot rice -- chicken & mushrooms, Chinese sausage snd bacon, and pork spare ribs . The chicken and mushroom was especially delicious where the chicken was tender and flavorful. The Chinese bacon was sliced nice and thin. The pork spare ribs was also very tender . They have a "secret clay pot sauce" that is delicious with the rice, The egg yolk fried shrimp was crispy but lacked flavor. Overall a great value. read more

Came here for lunch on a weekday and it was pretty quiet here! Staff are very friendly and won't rush you to order. Ordering can be done with staff or using QR code service on the table. Lots of booth seating available! They provided a complimentary egg drop and seaweed soup which felt light and cozy before digging into the clay pot dishes. FOOD: - Chicken clay pot: Loved how tender the chicken was, but wish there was more meat considering the rice ratio. If you don't mind the rice, there is soy sauce on the side. Just an FYI the rice on the bottom hardens a bit, but not to the point where it get crunchy. Probably just a different take on this dish, though, since different regions in China have their own preferences. :) PARKING: The plaza gets busy during lunch hour, so I'd dine-in right before then. read more

BZZ Clay Pot Excellent delicately prepared clay pot rice bowls with perfectly prepared rice and meats/veggies. Each item is cooked on demand so you need to be patient and wait about 15-18 minutes for your claypot to cook after you submit your order (in person or via QR code/smartphone.) What's Here: Step inside and you'll find a brightly lit modern Mainland China vibe with LED logos and big food signage on the walls. It's as if this entire restaurant was imported direct from Guangzhou! Courteous unobtrusive service. My choice: Chicken & Mushroom Clay Pot - with this dish, I opted for a few chunks of salted fish ($3 extra) to really bring the flavors through.. The chicken was so very moist and tender and the rice was perfectly cooked from top to the best part - the crunchy crusty toasty rice at the bottom of the pot. To be absolutely perfect, i'd love for the rice to be even 5-8% more brown, but it was a nice light brown crust already. The veggies were fresh, on point and not overcooked. The soy sauce marinade that you add on yourself is neutral enough not to overly salt your rice. Verdict ? 4.9/5 - arguably head and shoulders better than a famous clay pot place we tried in HK a few weeks back. I didn't expect that.. Pro tip: If you don't see the exact combo of meats/veggies on the menu for your claypot, just select one style, and a submenu will come up which will allow you to add on other meats/veggies/toppings as you wish.. or just ask the waitstaff for something more specific. Battery dead on your phone? No problem! They have paper menus with pictures too.. Verdict: Good stuff here! I'll definitely be back! read more

Traditional Guangdong clay pot place -- delicious fast food choice. Convenient location inside Cupertino village. Clean and neat table and bench seatings. Like those posters around the walls, really tempting photos. The food served right after ordering. The food is very kids friendly, good texture rice, well seasoned toppings and house made special sauce. Kids like it so much and they feed themselves:). Extra points to the waitress on filling water fast and waited and returned the credit card that I lost in her restaurant. Recommended for clay pot and soup lovers. read more

BZZ serves Chinese prepared clay pot rice and the quality is decent. The restaurant is very small and cozy, their decor is in a standard Chinese quick diner style that is very common in Chinese these days and I am not a fan of. Food are ordered using smart phone to scan a QR code, the selections are all very similar. This place is good for a quick lunch while don't expect any dishes that are particularly delicious. read more

Came in on Saturday night and there was a bit of a wait. It's located in the very busy Cupertino Village, so makes sense that Saturday night would be a popular time to visit. The restaurant was bright, clean, and modern. We ordered the classic signature lap mei rice clay pot, the salted fish and eggplant rice clay pot, and a side of Chinese broccoli in oyster sauce. The clay pots were both delicious, comforting, and nostalgic. Once you add the soy sauce and some chili oil on top, it's truly chef's kiss. I actually ended up liking the eggplant pot more since I think the eggplant was probably fried, so the rice really soaked up the oil in the pot and made things super flavorful and glossy. The Chinese broccoli was standard and a way to get our veggies in for the meal. Overall satisfied with the meal and would definitely recommend! read more

Second visit and even my American stomach kid approved. The wait in weekend is getting long, so try to avoid the rush hours. They have a paper and pen sign up system but their tables are mostly for 2-4 seaters, which makes accommodating large parties difficult. I see a lot of people doing take out and it may be worth trying that next time. The only benefit of eating in the store is they have these drink and clay pot sets, but this time when we came they were all sold out. Sad. We tried the signature sausage and cured meat clay pot rice. As always, the soul of a clay pot rice is the added soy sauce. I think their soy sauce is ok, not wow, but does the job. The sausages are flavorful and they are generous in portions. The special spare ribs are premarinated and flavorful. Each clay pot comes with 3 pieces of veggie, if it's not enough, you can add a side for 3 bucks which is good value. The restaurant is doing a promotion that if you prepay a minimum of $300, they give you an extra $50 on the account. You can use it in 3 restaurants and anything can be applied to it including tax and tips. You just need to place the order directly with the restaurants including Ming's and Local Cafe, DoorDash/Uber Eat etc apps are excluded. Service is fine, you can freely ask them questions and they are quite attentive to customers. read more

I ordered takeout and I thought it was so whimsical that they give a whole clay pot even for take out! The food itself is good, but nothing extremely debut worthy--just some homey Chinese food! I ordered the special #1 clay pot with the chinese sausage and pork slices, and it was good! Will come again to try the other dishes when I'm back in this plaza! read more

Clay pot rice dishes are a childhood favorite of mine, and I'm so glad to have discovered this place! Their dishes are pretty spot on, and the special umami dark soy sauce is readily available at each table to drizzle over your dish. We ordered the special spare rib and also the salted fish and eggplant (comes with chicken), as well as an order of choy sum veggies. Everything came out as we expected, piping hot, and it was so satisfying to hear that sizzle as I poured the special soy sauce over my clay pot dish! Flavors were solid, and enhanced by the yummy soy sauce. The choy sum veggies were also tender crisp, perfectly done! Service was ok, the servers weren't rude, but they weren't warm and fuzzy either. But par for the course. The restaurant is small but bright and tightly packed, and obviously very popular, especially around the lunch hours. I'd recommend giving this place a try! read more

This review is quite overdue, from March around the time they had their grand opening. This is located in the 99 ranch plaza, there is a lot of parking but finding it can still be pretty difficult at meal times and after work. We opted to walk over from home, allowed us to make some room for dinner! There was a huge wait for a table. We had our hearts on trying BZZ so waited maybe 45 minutes? They speak Cantonese here! Already a good sign for authenticity! You order by QR code, the service was pretty nice. Our food didn't take too long to come out. My rice was perfectly crispy, there's soy sauce at the table. There is limited seating inside. I got the cordyceps flower and chicken claypot and my partner had the lap mei claypot. Both were a little bland, but the soy sauce really helped enhance the flavor. I would come back, I also only ate half and had to take the other half as leftovers. My partner finished his food. The interior is very brightly lit and the outside has models on display of most of their menu. A nice touch! read more

This place is perfect for winter. The wait is long tho because it does take like 15-20 min for them to make a pot. The food quality does justify the wait. It's a bit pricy from my opinion but I still go there because it's hard to make clay pot at home. I love the beef with egg one! It's a medium size shop. But again the food doesn't come out that quick so the wait can be long. Great place for lunch with family and friends. read more

After a long day, we were looking for something not too heavy for dinner and this clay pot rice hit the spot. We tried the signature lap mei, secret pork ribs, mushroom and chicken, and salted fish and egg plant. They were all very good but my faves were the secret pork ribs and salted fish and egg plant. Both were very comforting and feels like home. Of note, the salted fish and egg plant does not come with Choi sum. Portions are definitely reasonable for one person. read more

You Dim Sum, You Lose Sum Chinese chain with, what I believe, is their only US location right here in city that Apple built, Cupertino, CA. They specialize in Cantonese cuisine, with the primary focus on claypot cooked rice dishes. They also feature a myriad of soups and stew, as well as some small dim sum (e.g., buns, dumplings, etc.) plates. The Good: *Friendly service *Something about the décor and branding was very on-point for this product. *QR code ordering thru a website (scan the code at the table). You don't pay thru the website, tho. They will bring you out a check and machine tableside. *The crispy rice at the bottom of the claypot is everything. It really adds a nice texture and flavor to the dish. *Chicken feet were on point and had a nice flavored sauce on them and were perfectly tender. *Salted Egg Yolk Chicken Wings in Clay Pot was maybe the most interesting thing I've eaten all year. The wings were cooked perfectly and seasoned well, but the exterior was coated in some kind of powdered egg concoction that was, well, let's just say a new experience for both of us. Glad we tried it once but not sure we're in a rush to try it again. *Very affordable by today's standards The Meh: *Located in the Cupertino Village shopping center, the parking here can be a bit tough to find during busier hours. *The chicken in the Cordyceps Flower Chicken Rice Clay Pot was overly-tenderized and had an odd texture. The rest of the disc was terrific, tho. *Siu Mai dumplings were just OK. The flavor was overly shrimpy, and the shrimp itself wasn't cut up as finely as we're used to. The Ugly: *No alcohol *As per usual, we're always the only non-Asians in this restaurant on a Sunday lunch time. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Conclusion: Authentic, delicious and frugally-priced Cantonese cuisine in a casual environment. read more

You had me at claypot! Recommended by a friend, he told me, "You'll love this place." Sure enough, I did! You order using the QR code. I ordered the Black pepper clay pot $19.95 was delicious with crispy rice at the bottom if you don't stir everything. Two pieces of half split bok Choy rounded out the fiber in the dish. There was a lot of fat which is why a star was taken off. My friend had the lap cheong rice and says that is his go to dish. The place is small and the wait time can be long during meal times. Just because it has 2 ZZ's, don't sleep on this place. read more

BZZ Claypot 煲仔正 recently opened up in Cupertino Village and serves authentic Guangdong-flavored, single-serving claypot rice. While their menu has a variety of claypot rice flavors, the classic and most popular one comes with a bowl of crispy rice that is topped with Chinese sausage, cured pork belly, and bok Choy. Regardless of what claypot rice you choose, make sure to add a bit of soy sauce for an extra kick of savoriness and mix everything together before taking a bite. Overall, this place is great for comfort food and really hits the spot. Prices are a tad on the higher side especially for the side dishes, but tolerable. Even though BZZ Claypot just opened, it already has a decent line so make sure to come during off hours (or a smaller party) to avoid waiting! ORDER: |-| Signature Lap Mei rice clay pot ($17.95) |-| Egg and beef rice clay pot ($16.95) |-| Pork and crab roe steamed dumplings ($8) |-| Fried chicken wings ($7) |-| Cauliflower in pot ($12) read more

Recently ordered food delivery from here only because the reviews said that they literally deliver the food to you in the clay pots for you to keep. The price per clay pot is $22 on DoorDash, which I think is fair since you get the clay pot delivered to your house. My family got the beef and egg, mushroom and chicken, and signature lap mei clay pots. Each clay pot comes with roughly 2 cups of rice. The chicken was a smooth silky texture which paired well with the mushrooms. I think it's a great option for food delivery because the food stays warm in the clay pots. We also ordered the choy sum but it was a bit overcooked for my taste. Overall solid option for Chinese clay pot rice in the area, particularly if you're getting it through a food delivery service. read more

Great attentive service, clean and neat dining room. Everything was very efficient. Staff were courteous and polite. We tried two claypot rice dishes. One spare ribs and one beef and egg. Both were solid. The house soy sauce was a great addition. Flavor on point but pot a little small. The eggplant claypot was fire with bits of salted fish. Will come again. read more

Very satiating meal for relatively good prices! Came here at around 1pm on a Saturday - we put our names down on the list and waited around 10 minutes for a table. The wait looked pretty atrocious at first, but people are in and out of the store pretty quickly. There's a QR code to scan to order. We got the signature lap mei rice clay pot, the cordyceps flower chicken rice clay pot, the hometown fragrant handmade lemon tea, and the traditional double skin milk pudding. The food honestly took longer than I expected to come out (15+ minutes) especially considering the simplicity of the dishes, but I do understand it was very packed and hectic at the time. The clay pots are a pretty decent size. At first, it'll look like the amount of rice is too much for the toppings, but it evens out pretty well as you're eating. The sausage in the lap mei and the chicken in the chicken clay pot were both super tender and fresh. Even without the signature sauce poured in, both dishes were fragrant and flavorful. The rice gets the perfect amount of crispy at the bottom, which I feel like is hard to perfect. The lemon tea is pretty average, but get the double skin milk pudding if you come! So silky and a really good way to cool off. Is clay pot a dish you could make at home? Probably. The ingredients are simple, but the ease of coming to a restaurant like BZZ is super convenient. If I was craving something super simple and filling, I'd come here - worth a try. read more

Freshly cooked claypot rice is ok but please don't eat any of the claypot entrees , you can get sick. We went there last night , ordered 2 claypot rice and one claypot cauliflower. The cauliflower came first and it was room temperature. It came in a serving dish where you can put a small fuel underneath to keep it warm. Nothing and that dish was lukewarm. I ate 2 and lost interest. My husband ate the rest and he got diarrhea in the middle of the night. My suspicion is the cauliflower is pre cooked and left at warm temperature where it caused food poisoning. read more

Claypot rice 煲仔飯 is a popular Canton street food. Similar dishes -- cooking rice with some ingredients to enhance the flavors -- exist elsewhere China, even the world, some have evolved to gourmet level. This Cantonese one had held on to the grass-root level. Soak the rice of selected variety, cook it in a chosen sized claypot, dump out excessive water halfway, add the ingredients the customer order, continue cooking closed-lid, add aromatic and veggie near the end, served when done. That's pretty much it. But every steps has been refined. The attraction is the interaction between the rice and the ingredients. The best part is the slightly burnt rice stuck at the claypot wall. Yummy! This place made very good version. At the end of the day, this is comfort food and not fine dining. It is difficult to elevate comfort foods to 4-star, although I was quite happy and satisfied. I imagine I will come back, just like I regularly craze for pizza, fried chicken, burrito, and fish-n-chips. read more

Been awhile since I've rated 5 stars. I was on the 4.5 fence but then asked myself, would I be sad if this place went away... yea. So up, up, up we go. (Yes my kids have been singing too much Golden). We had 3 clay pot rice: eel, black pepper chicken and the classic lap mei. We also got two soups and the milk pudding dessert. The soups were solid. Kids really drank most of it but I got a bit and they were pretty on point. The stars of the show were of course the clay pot rice. My favorite was actually the chicken (surprisingly to myself). The black pepper was not overly done and the meat was really tender. The eel might've been my favorite. Unfortunately my kids ate it all. So it was their favorite obviously. The lap mei was solid. Classic choice. But a bit boring in a way. Was also pretty salty compared to the others. I mean they're suppose to be salty so not docking points but more like the others were even better. Of course the main attraction is the rice itself. They had a really nice "crust", the crispy bits you get by scrapping the sides of the pot. It was also nice the had the soy sauce dispenser at the table so you can season to your own liking. I was joking with the wifey this place must be pretty new since the clay pots weren't all charred and burned on the outside (which is pretty typical at these restaurants). Really happy there's this awesome clay pot place nearby now. Looking forward to being back and trying some other flavors (maybe the kids will let me have some eel next time). read more

first time here. place is ok with good ambiance. staffs are attentive. for foods: 1. spicy pork ear: not spicy enough for me and a bit salty for my tastebuds 2. signature lap mei rice clay pot: the pork is a bit salty and pork sausage is just ok. just my two cents: if you can give a bit flavor for the rice, may be can help the taste in overalls 3. cauliflower in pot: mediocre and a bit overcooked in my opinion 4. steam pork dumplings: no flavors for me either for the soup inside nor the pork filling itself overall, i will say a bit pricey. i think just three stars at this time... read more

The meat is very tender. Rice would require self-seasoning (there's soy sauce and salt on the table). I added salted egg, so no additional salt was needed. There's spicy oil, but their spicy is not spicy at all. Warning: long wait. We waited about 40 min before we got seated and another 15min ish for the claypot to be ready. There's also no physical menu. They have the fake food display, but there's no name associated with each dish so it's like a matching game. I've overheard so many people complaining about the lack of menu and not so friendly service. One guy even canceled the wait because he wasn't able to see the menu first. There might've been miscommunication there though, because when we went in and asked for menu, they told us there were none but we could scan QR code. There's definitely room for improvement. The easiest way would be to add a big menu at the front if they don't want to print out physical ones. Also, they should add warning about how long the wait could be + add English subtitles to their posters. read more

BZZ Clay Pot - Mushroom and chicken (salted egg add on) - Chinese Near Me - Cupertino, California

I am so glad there's another claypot place open in the South Bay. Although I'm only giving it 3 stars, I can definitely see myself coming back here. Rice was cooked well and had a little bit of crispy from the claypot, but the beef rice was more on the soft side (probably because of the moisture from the beef and egg). With that being said, I loved how runny the egg was. I wish there were more fragrant flavors from the toppings as well. You order your food on your phone, which is convenient. Unfortunately, our order kept getting mixed up, but they were full packed during this time. Still, I thought the online ordering system would prevent mixups. Restaurant is really clean and bright. Plenty of seating, but I could definitely see a line forming at peak dinner hours and because this place opened fairly recently. TLDR: get their signature claypot rice and the salted egg yolk wings :) yummers read more

Surprised by how abundant the meat toppings were, black pepper ribs clay pot was very enjoyable. Meat was fall apart tender, very good with the piping hot rice.

BZZ Clay Pot - Black pepper ribs - boneless! A lot of meat - Chinese Near Me - Cupertino, California

We were excited to try this place, but the food was so underwhelming. The pork ribs were tender and had a nice flavor. The signature lap mei was fine, but was on the dry and hard side. Both claypots tasted mild even after adding the soy sauce provided at the tables. The rice was also really dry. Not worth it for $17-18 each. The salted egg yolk wings actually stood out for us - crispy and flavorful! Claypots are made to order and take about 15 minutes to come out. Definitely come before 5:30 pm to get seated with the first wave, or you'll have to wait. The restaurant is small and they seem to have issues with parties larger than 2. A party of 6 was first in line and they kept letting parties of 2 in when tables opened up. read more

Came at lunchtime on a Saturday with my partner. It was ultra mega packed so be prepared for 40 minutes wait minimum. The store also isn't that big, which exacerbates the issue. Their service is slow. There are no menus and they are quite snappy if asked about the menu. Their takeout menu is in the front. Store is not very big and looks similar to other restaurants liKe Wei's fish. The ambiance of the store cannot fit many people and is quite small. But their claypots seem to all be made fresh. The rice is nice and crunchy. But more importantly, their meat was very tender and I thought it was amazing. You season the pot yourself. They give you the sauces. All in all solid but long wait, service being slow, prevent this place from getting a higher rating from me. Would still recommend if you can wait! read more

I got pretty excited just waiting in line and chatting with some of the workers here who all spoke Cantonese -- that was my first good sign! Happy to report that this was a nice claypot rice experience! They've been opened for about a month and the wait was about half an hour on Sunday evening for dinner. Write your name and phone number down on a piece of paper at the front of the restaurant and they'll call your name when you're up. The wait wasn't too bad and food came out in a reasonable amount of time. There's soy sauce on the side to pour into your claypot to customize to your liking. In general, the claypot was great! The bottom layer of rice was definitely crispy, which is important in a claypot rice. Overall didn't seem like much food for $17, but for being able to have a decent claypot rice, it's a nice experience. It was a comfortable amount of food, left the restaurant not too full and not hungry. Signature lap mei fan rice claypot - lap mei was good. Equally fat and lean pieces of pork which is great, and the sausage was decent. Special pork ribs rice claypot - I didn't think the pork ribs were anything special in terms of flavor, but it was overall tender and good. Would come back again when I crave some claypot rice and try some of their other rice dishes and their HK style milk tea! read more

Haven't seen the claypot since childhood when I grew up in San Francisco. Very nostalgic. Small little restaurant- paper waitlist. I do feel like they are still in their soft opening. The decor is nice. I wonder if they are the same owners as local cafe. One unisex restroom. QR code to order. I didn't feel like we waited 15 mins for our claypots as other reviewers. Toppings plentiful but rice is not flavored. Soy sauce and etc on the side. Our kiddo loved the soy sauce rice and we loved all the toppings. We return once in a while. read more

It all depends on which one you order. The signature one was great but the meat cake one was not good. They use machine to mince the pork so the texture was really bad. There are other flavor and items but couldn't try them all. There are crispy in the bottom which is vital, the special soy sauce for clay pot rice is different, a little sweetness in it. Their soy sauce is only ok. I've many better sauce. All in all, a legit clay pot rice. Will come try other flavors. read more

I was really looking forward to this restaurant, but unfortunately from the start, it was not the best experience. We had a party of 6, and waited for over an hour. The worker kept seating groups of 2 who were on the waitlist after us, and he didn't acknowledge our group for 40 minutes. We then approached him to let him know that we're willing to sit separately, and he just nodded. After another 20 minutes, we were finally seated separately. I ordered the signature lap mei rice clay pot ($17.95) which came with Chinese sausage, pork belly, bok choy, and rice. It started off with not enough flavor, so I add soy sauce until it was flavorful enough for me. Overall, this was good, and I liked the crispy rice layer at the bottom. However, it was a small portion for the price. I tried a bit of the secret pork ribs clay pot ($17.95). I didn't enjoy the meat to bone ratio, and preferred my dish. There was also minimal service given throughout the dinner. I don't see myself choosing to come back to this restaurant. read more

Good clay pot rice! I tried the signature lap mei which is the standard clay pot rice and I'm glad BZZ did it right! Rice was crispy, lots of Chinese sausage and cured pork belly, and some veggies.

2.5/5. One and done for me - it's worth trying once. But for a restaurant that specializes only in Clay pot, you'd think they'd be extraordinarily good at it. The rice did not crisp up the way I like. It was not a crunchy satisfying uniform layer of rice... Instead it just made my mouth hurt from chewing haha. Although, the portions of meat are generous. I got the signature and it was loaded with sausage and (dry) pork. It also had two halves of bok choy. read more

I was so excited to try this spot after hearing about it on social media. My party of 3 came on a weekday around 7:45ish and there was a small wait as the restaurant was busy. By the time we were seated, the table was still dirty but a server quickly came over to wipe the table off for us. You order on the QR code, which gives you a lot of time to scroll through their menu and choose what you like. We took a while to order since we weren't able to find a menu on Yelp ahead of time. They had lettuce in oyster sauce which I found very interesting, but we opted for the choi sum in oyster sauce. Preserved Vegetable and Pork Patty Clay Pot Rice ($16.95) - Served with chunks of salted fish. I originally heard of this spot due to this particular dish. The patty was good but more spongey than meaty in texture. At the end of the meal, the rice did get crunchy and crispy from being cooked through the residual heat of the claypot. Egg and Beef Clay Pot Rice ($16.95) - The portion of beef was so large. The beef is super tender and the egg was perfectly cooked and runny. I added the soy sauce and chili oil they had on the table to this. This dish didn't get crispy after being cooked from the residual heat, but I have to factor in the fact there's humidity from the egg and the soy sauce + chili oil I added into this dish. Choi Sum in Oyster Sauce ($10.00) - Super basic but staple and solid dish. I'm just going to subtract a star for cleanliness and another because I had to fight off an entire ecosystem of bugs while eating here LOL. There was a spider that crawled across my table, fruit flies, and a mosquito that boldly landed on my hand while eating. read more

Was craving traditional claypot rice and found this gem. It's traditional Guangdong style comfort food. Ordered the chicken and mushroom and added "lap mei" (Chinese sausage and prosciutto) for extra flavor. Chicken was so tender, well marinated. Rice was excellent with crunchy rice on the bottom and that's what you look for in a dish like this. Ordered the oyster sauce and lettuce, also very nicely prepared...a classic. We ordered 2 soups, American ginseng chicken and watercress. In the flavor, you can tell that it's been simmering for a few hours. Also added the 4 piece wings which were cooked to perfection, crispy and juicy. We ended the meal with a cold tofu and milk pudding/jelly that was creamy and refreshing after a savory meal. Will definitely come back. My mom enjoyed it very much too. It's a brightly lit restaurant and you can order on your phone so it speeds things up. read more
