    I've been hearing so much about this place in Seattle especially from kelseyloves pho on tiktok that i wanted to try it my next visit to Seattle, but im so glad they had opened one here in the Bay Area. First walking in, we were warmly greeted by the staff and they asked if we have ever dined with them before. He showed us the amenities before seating, in which i took a hair tie to prepare for my feast. When we got seated, the server explained to us the menu and how to order and gave us a brief run down about the sauce bar which costs a little extra per person. The server also saw me take off my coat and placed it on the chair next to me, and he hurriedly came out with a coat cover and he said its so it won't smell for afterwards which i appreciate the gesture and tentativeness of the staff. We got the tum yum soup base and the pork soup. The tom yum was so flavorful and tart to my liking and the pork soup was on the more mild and clean broth. The beef and pork belly meats cut had good flavoring to them. Overall very excellent service and food!

    Chengdu Memory Hotpot is so generous with their portions, and staff is helpful. We really enjoyed our time here and will be back. The meat ring is enough for 4 people, we were a party of 3 and struggled to finish, but we also got a ton of fish tofu. I also like that their menu is diverse so it's great for adventurous eaters. The sauce bar feels a little inconvenient because if they're busy the line can block a good portion of the restaurant. The sauce bar itself is kind of in a little corner compared to Din Tai Fung where there are multiple and is large enough to accommodate 2-3 people at a time.

    I first tried Chengdu memory in Seattle, and now that it's in the bay, decided to come back! I won't lie, the bay has a ton of delicious Chinese hot places, so the competition is quite high! So let's get into the deets For meat, we did half beef belly and half lean meat. I usually like leaner meat but for some reason, I like the beef belly here more than the lean one. The leaner cut was tougher than the belly, and you can tell the quality is just okay on the meats. Sauce bar: this is one of the better sauce bars compared to other Chinese hot pot, I love the side dishes like the pickled chicken feet and they offered a number of hot items like fried chicken! They also have a small dessert bar which was nice as well. Sides: we got enoki mushroom and greens and some noodles. This was def more than enough food and we weren't able to finish all the meat, but thankfully we were able to take the rest togo. Overall, it's not bad. Meat quality is okay, but the side dishes at the sauce bar are good. I like how they provide quality aprons so you don't splash all over yourself. Again, my Chinese hot pot standards are high, so this was just okay.

    Chengdu Memory, so good so fun and can't wait to go back. Late lunch and the family decided on hotpot. Seated immediately at the largest table they got and man what a pretty restaurant. Beautifully decorated and lots of complementary items, I grabbed a hair tie, hairs up and ready to feast. We ordered so many dishes and thanks to their side tables, we slowly devoured everything. We got their famous fish maw chicken soup, it was a hit and everyone loved it. Us big backs ordered 2 meat circles without knowing, oops. Their salad bar got chicken feet cold dish and spiced pig Trotter, so freaking delicious. Looking forward to the next time we visit

    We stopped by for the late-night happy hour, which offers unlimited 50% off select meats Monday through Thursday after 9 p.m. Just look for the Happy Hour tab on the tablet ordering system. The beef was our favorite--it stayed juicy and flavorful throughout the meal. The pork belly was tasty but dried out pretty quickly, so next time we'll probably try the chicken instead. We also really enjoyed the unlimited sauce and dessert bar, which was a fun bonus. Overall, it's a great deal if you're craving late-night Korean BBQ!

    - we came around 5:30pm and luckily found parking and were able to be seated very quickly, they even opened the door for us! Service was great right off bat - ordering is easy with a tablet, they suggest to order the soup base first so it has time to boil - both soups were fragrant and packed enough flavor to make each ingredient yummy (prices are pretty reasonable here as well!) - I loved the assortment for the snack bar, there were oranges, peanuts, cucumber, seaweed, pork trotters, chicken feet, and dessert soups - later on it gets super busy so the staff tend to be preoccupied, we had to remind multiple times for things we asked for but it's understandable with how much they need to juggle. Overall, we'll be back!

    Chengdu Memory Hotpot is truly a hidden gem in Fremont! With so many hot pot places becoming increasingly expensive, it was refreshing to find a restaurant that offers great quality at such reasonable prices!! And it opens late which is also a great place for late night eats What really stood out was the exceptional service. I accidentally ordered a broth that was much spicier than I could handle, and the staff went above and beyond by manually removing the peppers to make it more enjoyable. Their attention to detail and willingness to help made a huge difference!! Another pleasant surprise was the unlimited free refills on both the milk tea and lemon iced tea -- a rare perk these days. Great food, fair prices, and outstanding service. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending it to friends!

    Chengdu was comparable to Haidilao... in my eyes they are about the same price and quality wise. The few differences for me is that chengdu had more limited broth options and the order had WAY more meat! Decor was nice and clean and the ring of meat makes for great photos. Service was fast and attentive. We did have to wait for an hour (since the hype is real rn), but we really wanted to try a new hot pot place! I would come back - but wait for the trend to die down!

    This place is very pretty. I give it to you one decoration. The check in area have areas to be seated and having a waitlist on Yelp is a plus. The food options are great. We ordered a handful of items for 4. And have plenty to go. Their drinks are unlimited for milk tea and lemon tea. The downside was probably the sauce bar. It doesn't have much of ponzu or other kind. The layout for it was a little hard to reach. Other than that. I'm happy to come back, probably will bring my parents!

    First time coming here after seeing all the tik tok videos and reviews on yelp/Google Maps. [[ Service ]] The service staff were super nice. They gave us the full tour of the restaurant (sauce bar, hair ties, bathroom) and then gave us a large overview of the menu and how to order. Very impressed. Thank you Hui and Yuan for the great service. [[ Restaurant ]] Very upscale feeling and gives the vibe of Haidilao if you've been there. It's a nice place for any occasion. [[ Food ]] We came during the lunch happy hour so 4 of the meats were half off. We also ordered their dessert to try out since they look so pretty. Some standouts: 1.) good portion sizes for the price 2.) very fresh tasting 3.) beautiful presentation I'll definitely be back :)

    Who doesn't love free goodies with a side of quality hot pot? Although I haven't been to another well known hot pot chain with a lot of amenities, Chengdu Memory takes the top spot on my list. Hair ties, aprons, mints, lens cleaner, toothbrushes, mouthwash, dog treats, and nail polish, they have it all to complement your meal experience! I came for the rings of meat and cute shaved ice dessert, and stayed for their yummy side dishes/sauce bar ($3/person but well worth it) and other typical hot pot ingredients (seafood, vegetables, noodles). Service was quick and friendly throughout the entire experience as they explained their iPad ordering system, and my group didn't even have a wait time on a Monday night! They also have some meat discounts depending on the time/day of the week, and overall I really enjoyed the presentation of everything.

    Came here for a friend's birthday dinner on a Sunday. Checked in through yelp, and waited about 1 hr. They have a decent size parking lot, but not many shops, so we waited in the car since the waiting area was full. The wait time was pretty accurate. We kept checking our place on the app. It is a really nicely designed restaurant. I love the ambiance! Easily ordered on the tablet and everything came out really fast.

    delish plates of meat

    No matter how much I age, I fear that I'll never be able to let go of hot pot because it's a part of me. Traditional Chinese Sichuan-style hot pot is my favorite, and Chengdu did not fall short. The restaurant seemed pretty small, but we got seated right away. To give you a better idea, I would say that Chengdu's dining experience is similar to our beloved Haidilao, but without the $$$ price tag. Chengdu is like Haidilao's little sister -- but better -- and they even give you aprons. The staff was very friendly and helpful since it was our first time dining there. We ordered the half-and-half broth with bone broth and spicy Sichuan-style broth. The meats were good quality, and we even got a free plate of meat by accident, but they let us keep it. I felt super bad because we came in right at last call from the kitchen, so we had to make our decisions quickly. I love the sauce bar, which allows you to customize your dipping sauce exactly the way you like it. My go-to combination is sesame sauce with a little bit of ponzu, lots of green onions, cilantro, and garlic. After stuffing our stomachs, it was time for dessert. We ordered the mango bingsoo, which looked and sounded good. HOWEVER, this was the only thing I wouldn't recommend ordering. The flavor tasted too artificial, and it ended up tasting like watered-down mango syrup with no fresh mangoes. The only thing I really enjoyed from the bingsoo was the popsicle it came with. The popsicle was rich and creamy with a subtle mango flavor. I took one for the team on this one, but despite the disappointing dessert, everything else was great.

While we were eating, I suddenly felt some type of liquid splash into my food. I looked around to see where it could have come from, only to realize that the vents above us were leaking directly into my bowl. I immediately reported it to the person who appeared to be the manager, but all she said was, "Sorry." Not wanting to ruin our night, I moved seats and we moved everything on the table so the liquid wouldn't fall into the rest of our food. There was no real concern, explanation, or attempt to make the situation right. Since it was Father's Day and I had my toddler with me, I chose not to push the issue any further at the time. However, the experience was extremely disappointing and concerning, especially considering that an unknown liquid from the ceiling vent had dripped directly into my food.
