    I've come here a couple times now, and I believe it's worth it. There's often a wait around popular times, and it can take awhile since they have to cook the clay pots to order. I usually get the salty fish and eggplant pot here since I can't find salty fish rice dishes too often. They provide soy sauce at the tables so you can season dishes to your preference. For appetizers, my favorite is the pig ears which are not too spicy (I am weak, so you can trust me). The dumplings are okay but nothing to write home about. Service is as you'd expect. They are very good at keeping your water cup filled though!

    I ordered the Mushroom and Chicken Clay Pot, and this has been one of the better clay pot places that I have visited. The rice has a nice crispy bottom, good flavor, and it was not too oily. The ingredients were well cooked as well. The service was fast with ordering through a QR code. The ambiance is very chill with good food.

    I came here for lunch and got their Salted Fish, Chicken and Eggplant Claypot Rice. It was pretty busy. You order via a QR code. The food here takes some time to make, not too long, but there is a wait since they make the claypot rice dish fresh. Anywho, I was surprised to see that by ordering the claypot rice a complementary bowl of soup came too. The soup was nice - some seaweed, egg ribbons and pork. The claypot rice itself without their seasoning sauce is a bit bland but that's why you season it to your liking. The eggplant was cooked well, with pieces of salted fish and chicken. The rice was fine, I liked the crispiness of the bottom. There wasn't anything too special about this claypot rice, I just think it's okay coming from someone who is cantonese. However, happy to see that there is a claypot place in San Jose.

    I came here because I was hungry and saw the words the drew me in. "Clay pot" I entered and was immediately seated despite it being crowded. Ordering was made easy with the QR code being there for the electronic menu. I tried a unique sugarcane juice that had a lot of medicinal herbs which gave it a unique taste. I was really surprised that soup was part of the meal. Many places would skip soup to save money. The clay pot rice was the main event. It did come in a clay pot and was still sizzling as it came to my table. The chicken was so tender and the mushrooms were very juicy. The rice towards the end had become crispy. The portions were huge. The only unfortunate thing was the lack of a sauce. I'm very used to clay pot rice restaurants having a sauce that could seep towards the bottom with the crispy rice. I had to use soy sauce. The service was wonderful, and I'd definitely come back because there were other items I was eyeing. I didn't even have appetizers!

    casual spot specializing in clay pot rice. i got chicken and mushroom but added chinese sausage as well. i wish that the rice got a little crispier - it started to brown a bit but didn't get to golden brown

    If you are here for the salty fish, skip it cos it's not the type that you get in Hong Kong, it's completely different. I usually get the dim sum here, siu mai and chicken feet are overcooked and mushy but the taste is ok. The pan fried chive dumpling is also ok.

    BZZ Clay Pot is one of the few places in San Jose that offers clay pot dishes. The shop itself is located in a busy asian plaza. Parking is widely available but you may need to park a little further. All dishes come out burning hot! They provide container bowls to prevent people from burning themselves. Staff will refill water and clean up quickly. Ordering is all done via QR code on mobile phones. Claypot rice with beef and egg has juicy beef pieces with a egg on top. Claypot rice with mushroom and chicken has large pieces of tender chicken with shiitake mushroom. Both come with vegetable greens. The rice does stick to the bowl if you leave it in too long since its hot! I also ordered from Fantuan for takeout and it comes in a clay pot! If you return 8 clay pots, they'll give you a meal free. Will definitely be back. BZZ Clay Pot definitely hits the spot if you have a craving for a hot rice dish.

    Came back again for another amazing meal! Clay pot is always freshly made. It does take 20 min to cook, so be ready. Highly recommend getting their lemon tea while waiting lol it's pretty good. I was able to adjust sweetness by talking to a staff. But another staff told me they cannot do so in my other visit. Staff are very nice and helpful. Again, you can ask them to make adjustment. It's a small restaurant in the ranch 99 plaza. Prefect place for a casual meal.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

The wings are a must-order here. They're always perfectly fried and crispy on the outside while still staying juicy and tender inside. The Tidu Sliced Beef Pot reminded me of a dry hot pot. It had a great mala flavor with a subtle numbing sensation, and the peanuts added a nice crunch and texture to the dish. The Tianjin Eggplant was simple but delicious, with flavorful pork that paired really well with the soft eggplant. Overall, the food here is comforting and satisfying. It's a place I'll definitely keep coming back to.

Had a great experience prior to this with a friend so I wanted to bring my mom to try. My experience from the service however was a little uncomfortable. When I went with my mom there was no customers. The server seated us at the bench closest to the wall (the table was pushed into the bench against the wall so we had to move it.) Apparently a lot of the legs on some of the tables and benches are wobbly so they put things under to balance it. The servers told us to move it back under the table since we pushed the table out to sit into the bench. My mom is older and she has a hard time walking, she asked to switch to another table where the benches and tables were already spaced out properly because it is hard for her to bend down and move the things under the table legs. The server gave my mom an attitude and asked why two people couldn't fit into our current table.

What I'm trying to say is, the price is relatively high for the portion. Definitely not the worst service, but just average. However, they still charged 18% mandatory tip for the lunch. I would love to tip more, 18% or even more than 18% if the service is good and of course tip 10-15% if the service is bad, but they just take that from your credit card leave you no options and I do not like that.

Note that I said Taiwanese Chinese not Taiwanese because they were the type of food that when Chinese soldiers would cook/eat when they first retreated to Taiwan so they don't have the same ingredients they had. The new location is now next to Starbucks instead of the other end of the plaza. The place is clean but slightly smaller. They also changed their menu slightly and they are definitely competing with Duan Chun Zhen across the street. They both offer beef noodle soup so I'll mostly commenting on the difference. Liang definitely gives you more beef (meat, tendon, tripe) but it's also about 50% more expensive. They also added Chinese sauerkraut which makes the soup base very different. I personally prefer the 13 spices used in Duan. The noodles are also different. The texture of Duan is more consistent but Liang feels more handmade. Overall I'd prefer Duan over Liang but Liang has more choices such as beef pancake. In other words if you just want noodles Duan is a better choice but if you want more types of food this is an ok choice. There are also more choices for tea here. Service is alright and it's weird that you cannot order directly using the QR code which only offers the menu. The location is clean and bright which
