Took vegetarian and pescatarian family there. They loved it, the fish fillets and tofu were amazing. The enoki mushrooms and bamboo shoots too. read more

Managed to get in as a group of 5 after an hour wait in the Yelp wait-list, this place is popular! Service was great, you get a tablet to order before you're seated and the food came quick so we could eat right after getting a table. I love how high quality the ingredients are here, especially the meat, the wagyu is my favorite here. The self service sauce bar is really complete too and they even have an ice cream machine :) This place is lively and a really nice spot for big groups for lunch or dinner, if you're looking for a more upscale spot without being too stuffy! read more

Very good hotpot. Easy ordering with a tablet and large menu. Great broth and ingredients. Everyone at my table was impressed with the beef tongue. The sauce bar is pretty nice. It wasn't too expensive for a party of 6 despite ordering plenty. read more

Feng Hotpot - Four broth pot with beef tongue at the bottom! Would recommend! - Hot Pot Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

I came back here again and arrived 10 minutes before opening to line up. Right after I lined up, lots of people began to join and started to line up. Overall, I spent 2 hours here for hot pot, it explains why the wait can be long if you are not able to get in the first round right when they open. The food here is expensive but quite tasty. I tried their jumbo cup lemon wintermelon tea, it is very refreshing for the hot pot. This time, I also ordered the four flavored broth. This included medium spicy beef tallow, tomato, mushroom broth, sweet & sour. The medium spicy beef tallow and the mushroom broth were the best, tomato was fine, strong tomato flavor, sweet & sour did not have much flavor. I do wish we could customize the four broths. Overall, the ingredients for hot pot here is good quality and you can find items for hot pot you don't generally find elsewhere. read more

My friend had been wanting to try their hot pot for a while and it was a great experience. The wait does get very long on the weekend so we stopped by at around 12 pm to put our name down for our party of 2 and it took about an hour for us to get seated. They have a device that they hand you where you can order the different items and it was all a la carte. We opted for a split soup where half was a spicier and the other a golden chicken broth. The chicken broth really surprised us, it was so rich in depth of flavor and so comforting. We opted for around 5 - 6 items for the 2 of us and it was a decent amount of food. The beef we ordered was a good portion for 10 dollars, so soft and high quality as well. Some other items we ordered include the enoki mushroom, braised tofu, crown daisy, pork feet and mashed shrimp. The braised tofu stood out to me from the airy chewy texture and it soaked up the broth very well. Alongside the sauce station, they also had a soft serve machine for dessert. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience from the rich broth to the high quality and interesting variety of options. read more

We ordered kidney, shrimp paste, ice vegetable, beef, and the chef's special tofu. All dishes were fresh and beautifully presented. The soup base was especially impressive, with an authentic, robust spice flavor reminiscent of what I tasted in Chongqing, China. read more

I had this place on my bookmarks for a long time mostly because I was intrigued by the almost perfect rating. What I learnt over the years of visiting numerous restaurants with almost perfect rating was that these places normally tend to incentivize people to write reviews in exchange for something. I try to go through the menu before hand to ensure I have some options as I eat only certain seafoods and chicken. But, I didn't find any menu details on Yelp. I still decided to take a chance and visit. Thankfully they have a Yelp waitlist. I got onto the waitlist and was 54th in line with a wait time of 1.5-2 hours. I was at the restaurant when I was 5th in line and was told my wait time would be 30 mins more!!! Talk about popularity! Restaurant has an amazing vibe, felt like stepping into some restaurant in China. I was excited but felt like a fish out of water. And felt even more out of place after I saw the entire menu bar with instructions in Chinese. There was a placard on each table, it was completely in Chinese but I could make it was about getting a free drink in exchange for reviews. We got mini iPads to place an order and thankfully there was an English translation for each item. I ordered every item I could eat which wasn't many. For others benefit, I took a lot of pictures of their menu to post on Yelp. We got mushroom and chicken broth. The mushroom broth was richly flavored and was umami rich. The chicken broth felt flat. We were forced to visit the menu bar to load up on condiments to flavor the broth. We got noodles, tofu, mushrooms, bay corn to cook in the broth. For sides we got fried rice and fried chicken. The quantities of the sides were tiny. The chicken dish had a soft bone specified next to it. I assumed some of the pieces would have bones but to my dismay the entire dish was only soft bone with barely much meat. Totally my fault for the wrong assumption I guess. The fried rice was decent but nothing extraordinary. I wanted to drink the soup but couldn't find any spoons around. I asked the waiter for help and he got some plastic spoons for the hot soup. I asked him for some steel spoons and was told they only have plastic. This was disappointing as I couldn't imagine using plastic for piping hot soup. Overall we had a disappointing experience due to lack of options for someone with our food restrictions. We have been to numerous other hot pot places all over the bayarea and absolutely love Haidilao as well. This place felt exclusive only to a certain set of clientele be it with the menu options or the lack of instructions in English. read more

I was so impressed with this place! The vibe was lively and nicely decorated. It didn't feel like I was at a regular hot spot restaurant in the Bay Area. Before our table was ready they had us order our soup and food on the iPad which I loved - very efficient. When we got sat at our table we got our soup pretty much got right away. We got the chicken soup and one of the spicy soups which was super flavorful. What I thought was interesting and stood out to me was the tenderized raw meats. It was so good after cooking it in the soup. We also got one of the bucket of fruit tea and it was perfect after having a little spice from our meal. I would love to come back and try more of their menu. read more

I believe the crazy waiting times have gotten better, came here promptly a minute after they opened on Friday (5pm) and the line had maybe 7 small parties and we all got sat. Then the line grew insanely after that. If caught up in that gap- highly recommend using the yelp/google waitlist. Definitely had the super good Chinese service (that one gets when in Asia), waiter efficiently explained how the ordering iPad thing worked, showed us the super expansive condiment station which also had fruits and little refreshing dessert things. I struggled with the water jug and immediately got helped. I like spicy food and thought the second spiciest level was actually not that crazy, pretty mild compared to when everything was just burning when in Chongqing eating a normal level spicy hotpot (hope that helps you gauge). It might be because I also had a split non spicy stock base which probably helped. The ingredients were crazy fresh, which is good cause they offer the more unique/more difficult to prepare/clean stuff. I wouldn't get the purple/yellow noodles- they don't taste different and are just meh. Broad transparent potato noodles are awesome/must have. Don't forget their soft serve! It comes out really fast so watch out. read more

FORGET HAIDILAO AND BRING YOUR GANG TO FENG!! I cannot recommend this place enough, my all time favorite Chinese hot pot in the bay no cap. The moment you walk into this restaurant, you are truly transported to China and it just smells so good in here. They have authentic side dishes as well if you are feeling adventurous, man everything is just so delicious. I always get the 4 pot so I can get the best of both worlds. I love dipping my meat in the beef tallow for the spice (make sure to get mild because even mild is super spicy) and my vegetables in the other soups for a lighter taste. They have a self serve sauce station and some other goodies on top, I've noticed from the many visits I've made that the food offered at this station changes and it's not always the same every time you come. Also my little hack is to get the chili powder and add it to my rice, it makes it tastes so much better The tables are huge and great for bringing a crew here because you can order lots of meat and side orders and it all just fits, perfect for family style. I love to sip my soup and they don't give out spoons, so either ask or get the plastic ones by the ice cream machine. Also you can get a bucket of tea for a good price, and let me tell you this bucket is freaking huge, it's sometimes hard for me to finish it in one sitting. TIP: put your name on the waitlist via yelp, because they get super busy and even close the waitlist even with an hour or 2 left till closing. And obviously come hungry read more

Great authentic local hot pot spot. Fresh ingredients and lively environment. We had to wait a while even though we were on the waitlist. If you prefer a less spicy broth, I recommend ordering the mushroom broth and adding chili in to it until you reach your desired heat. read more

Came by Feng Hotpot recently and had a really fun experience. Not sure if it is part of the hiring criteria, but every server was handsome. Jokes aside, the service was excellent. The team was attentive, quick, and present without being overbearing. You can tell they care about the guest experience. The setup is thoughtful. They provide baskets for your bags and clothing, which makes a big difference with hotpot. It is a small detail, but it shows intention. Food was solid overall. Good variety, fresh ingredients, and a lively atmosphere that makes it a great spot for groups. One piece of feedback on the corporate side. I have been trying to reach out about a potential collaboration, but the franchise team lead has not been responsive to calls or messages. That was disappointing, especially since the in store team operates at such a high level. Overall, I would come back. Great service, fun environment, and a place that takes care of its guests. read more

So spicy! I got the mild but it felt like medium+ (and I regularly eat spicy food). Even at this level of spicy, my stomach was feeling it the next day (the true measure for me on how spicy something is). Solid place, would definitely want to come back when I'm craving spicy hotpot. Wait was pretty long (1 hour and a half) on a weekend so get on the waitlist ASAP. Items are ordered à la carte on a tablet and sauce bar is a separate charge (I didn't get this but looked like there was soft serve available which might have helped with the spice!). read more

This place gets super busy so I would suggest getting on the waitlist at 4pm. We got on the waitlist around ~530pm and didn't get seated until 7pm. The waitlist is insane for a reason - this is one of the best hotpot places in the bay. First of all, I liked that you get to choose 4 soup bases instead of 2 like most places make you choose. Very flavorful soups, meat quality is good, the fried rice we ordered was good, and tastes authentic. Service is also excellent despite it being super busy - waiters delivered our items pretty fast and were attentive to our needs. Since there's a long wait, there's also a little arcade game in the front for you to occupy yourself with while you wait which was fun! read more

Excellent food and service. The ingredients are very fresh! We tried duck feet, duck intestine, shrimp paste, pork meatball, and beef slices. All were delicious but the shrimp paste was exceptionally fresh. It was very tender and bouncy! They have a huge selection of organ meats too if you're into that. We tried the pork bone broth and the spicy broth - both were very flavorful. I would rank this above Haidilao in terms of flavor.. I barely used my sauce because that's how much I enjoyed the soup! They also have great service but I noticed we had to wait quite a bit for the meats to come out. By the time the meat came out we ate most of everything else. But other than that I would highly recommend for all hot pot lovers :-). Come early to get seated without wait! read more

Feng Hotpot - Hot Pot Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Had a chance to try Feng Hotpot after waiting for over an hour but the experience was well worth the wait and I wanted to check out this popular spot. For the broth we got a couple different types but my favorite was the tomato broth and the spicy one. Although the spicy one was spiccyyyyy for me. The ambiance here is nice, as a typical hotpot place has. For food we ended up tried the braised beef which was yummy tender and flavorful. We also ended up getting shrimp balls (which were delicious), beef (i think the popular one) which was DELICIOUS, lamb (pretty yummy), bokchoy and other veggies. Everything was delicious but the beef was definitely one of the best I have had. They also had a nice sauce bar which made the meal yummy and fun. Overall really good experience and good service here! read more

I was truly impressed by my experience here. The ordering is very easy (lots of pictures and you tap/choose on an iPad). You do have to pay extra (around $3) to have access to the sauce bar, but they have a good variety of things there -- including a very delicious seaweed salad and bing fen! We ordered: kabocha, quail eggs, beef, lamb, beef tripe, fish, enoki mushrooms, udon, and seaweed knots and it was a good amount for 3 people. I also got the jumbo lemon drink and it was very refreshing (and definitely jumbo! Regular paper cup next to it for scale). The ingredients were all very fresh and the textures wonderful after cooking. The broths were good as well too! We got spicy beef and pork broth. We did have to wait awhile for a table as this place is very busy! Service is decent once you are seated, and they clear out empty dishes pretty quickly. The inside reminds me of decor in China with randomly lofted tables at both ends and banners along the top. Overall: a good experience! I left with a very full belly read more

I love their spicy soup base. I think it's the most authentic spicy soup base in the bay area! The food is fresh and on point. But the snack section is not as good as other hotpot spots, anyway they make it up with a ice cream machine so it's fair lol Overall i recommend this hotpot and i would definitely come back again! read more

Celebrated my friend's bday at this new hotpot place in town. It got rave reviews and I had it bookmarked since it opened. I jumped on waitlist right at 5pm and it said to check in by 5:21. We got there and they told us that Yelp didn't update the waitlist and we were told to come back at 6:10...so we waited around. Our party of 8 didn't get seated till 7pm! Wowowowow... Anyway we ordered the split pot with mild spice and tomato broth. Mild spicy had so much ! We scooped out a big bowls worth of chili. Szechuan chili are no joke. Don't get the mild if you can't handle heat . I didn't like the tomato broth. It was sweet and tasted like ketchup. We ordered a bunch of items which were all ok. Meats were alright. The cold bar with sauce was ok. I liked the cucumbers. Soft serve ice cream was a hit. Wouldn't mind coming back to try the other broths. Wouldn't wait more than 20 mins though. read more

The glaze is crazy for this "authentic" hotpot restaurant from Chengdu. Yes it's a restaurant from China, yes they have shops in Chengdu, no it does not make it authentic. This place is giving bonuses to people to write reviews online, so be wary of others! I ordered the hot with 4 different soup bases: tomato, spicy, bone, and sweet and sour. The tomato pot isn't as flavorful as haidilao's or even other competitors. The bone broth is really good, and has a good amount of saltiness so you can actually taste the flavors. The sweet and sour was alright as well. The biggest offender is the spicy pot, however.I heard the peppers they use are Mexican chilis and not Chinese ones (different taste). There are no sichuan peppercorns in the broth, so it does not taste "香", or aromatic and fresh, as authentic spicy broths. Instead, you are met with just pure spice, even at mild spicy. I would recommend ordering extra mild, as my wife who likes spicy food said it was pretty spicy. You can also tell the broth's color is pretty dark compared to the authentic, redder spicy broths. The beef brisket was pretty fatty, and I got sick of it pretty fast. The other meats and veggies I ordered meet the standard expectations of hot pot, but the price is definitely elevated. For the self serve sauce buffet and snacks, the price of the food does not reflect a better selection compared to other hot pot places. When they go to add more broth, they use WATER. Not the respective broths, eventually making every broth taste watered down. Real hotpot places use respective broths to refill so the taste is constant and fresh.The waitlist gets super long, so I advise joining the Yelp waitlist ASAP, or at least 30mins in advance on a weekend. When I went on a Friday, the waitlist was closed by 6:30 with up to 2 hour wait times, even though the restaurant closed much later. You're purely eating for the environment of being in back in China, and maybe the eyes can deceive the tongue - this place is not an authentic Sichuan hotpot place. How do I know? You can't even order a spicy soup base by itself - it has to be paired with another soup base. read more

Totally get the hype. The soup was flavourful, service was good, the prices were reasonable. The entire look of the restaurant makes you feel like you having hotpot at a night market in China. They also seem to hire waiters/waitresses who look cool or anime like The four soup broth selection is cheaper than the 2 soup pot selection I believe the icecream is free. Sauce bar has usual offerings with sauces, fruit, pickles and aiyu jelly Pros They have many interesting hotpot meat preparation like tender beef, that's marinating in a different flavor like tomato or Sichuan pepper. The beef tallow soup was pretty spicy and good but they seem to have a shortage. Cons The tables feel too large so often I had to stand and eat so I could get things from the hotpot read more

Delicious food and great service! :D I had a great hot pot experience here. The broth was rich, flavorful, and had the perfect level of spice. All of the ingredients tasted very fresh, especially the meat and vegetables. The service was also excellent--the staff were friendly, attentive, and always ready to help if we needed anything. The restaurant was clean and had a nice atmosphere, which made the whole experience even better. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves hot pot, and I'm looking forward to coming back again soon. read more

One of my go-to's whenever hot pot cravings hit. Plenty of parking. They do get crowded during the evening and you can only waitlist in person. I like that there's a mortal Kombat arcade game machine in the waiting area, if you get bored. The interior has a similar old traditional Chinese feeling with wooden tables and benches and wall art. There is a sauce and snack bar, which I find convenient and worth the price (additional ~$3 per person). The service is prompt and friendly. They give a generous amount of meat for each order. My favorite is the beef tongue. Ordering from the tablet is convenient and there's a large variety of things to order from different meats, vegetables, seafood, and many other toppings. My go-to broth is the four flavor broth (spicy beef tallow + tomato + mushroom soup + sour soup). Also, their fried rice is delicious. I will definitely be back soon! read more

So authentic so good! Brought my mom here and we both loved it. The dishes were very well prepared and high quality. They had a lot of authentic Chengdu style items to choose from, some of my favorites being the marinated quail eggs, tender beef, and beef tongue. Also loved the four-broth pot option so you get to try the best of all worlds. My favorite was the spicy beef oil one at medium spice was perfect! Sauce/snack bar is extensive and had everything I wanted and more. Place itself was really uniquely designed. Lots of Chinese signs. Service was really good too!

Came here two weeks in a row, my friend has diarrhea last week. And this week is my turn after my visit on Saturday. I messaged them last week and got ignored. The experience has been going down hill- the seats are back to back with stranger. Me and my friend got hit couple times.... Because of the lack of space between tables. The sauce bar is a joke, most of the sauce ran out and the snacks as well. But still got charged $4 per person. We waited more than an hour for the table, and we got rushed to pay while we are half way done. I reminded the waiter we still have a cake and he was rude about it. Only gave us the cake no plate and fork. The meat quality is good but I'm in doubt with the hygiene of the restaurant. I got a bad diarrhea over the weekend after my visit on Saturday. I sent them a message and they didn't responds. The management should take serious action regarding this. read more

Feng Hotpot - Hot Pot Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

I had a very nice lunch at Feng. The service was overall good, although as usual the waiter didn't believe I liked spicy food - guess I proved him wrong ordering the spiciest base AND making spicy dipping sauces. Anyway, the so-called "spiciest" tallow broth is tasty, but I would call it 5/10 spicy. If you're looking for pain this isn't it. All the food items were fresh, although I didn't try any liver which is kind of the litmus test for me. If the liver is good, then all the food will usually be good, because liver that's even slightly old is gag-inducing. The interior is also nice, they have some old arcade games and I guess they are going for some kind of aesthetic with that. Chairs could be a bit more comfy, I'm not sure why but all hot pot places seem to have unpadded chairs, many times without backs. This place isn't all that convenient for me but it's a good option if you're in the area. read more

Feng Hotpot - Entrance - Hot Pot Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Long wait. My first attempt - didn't make it, since the wait was 2 hours long and I had a curfew. My 2nd attempt, I entered the yelp waitlist around 5:30pm so got seated around 7. The only complaint I have about this is the part where they skipped over me for 2 tables even though I was first in line (I had to wait extra 15 minutes, maybe longer if I didn't voice my concern to the waiter). Yes, I checked in when I got the notification, and went to wait in the front when I was first in line. It would make sense if the tables were different sizes, but they are all big tables, so it left me a slightly bitter feeling when they chose to let the two bigger groups of ppl to sit down instead of me (party of 2). As for the food - the waiter explained that their broth is on the spicier side, so their medium would equal to a spicy elsewhere. We opted for spicy, and thought it was very manageable. Good option if you're a spicy lover. The ingredients came very quickly, all were good quality. My favorite was the braised intestines though. Overall, I would say this looks like a good option for big groups. They have square tables, so you can still pretty cozy and not have to shout too far. read more

Very unique hotpot spot that took the place of bowl 1 noodle, surprisingly. Very interesting items you can order like fish stomach, eel, pig's brain. Broth is interesting too. My clothes smelled like hotpot for a few days after. The sauce bar is $3 extra per person, but it's worth it. There's also vegetables and ice cream. Only caveats is that it's pricey and it gets super busy. read more

I can't keep track of all the things this space has been. Before covid it was quite a good hotpot place with items from a region I can't recall but were delicious and unique. The pandemic nixed that. Then it was something else which was blade runner like but still delicious. That died suddenly and was something I didn't even get to try! Cause I left town came back and now it's Feng Hotpot. Strangely I don't know who Feng is but they have a tea place not too far away in the next city over. Having a friend who's fluent in Mandarin, Cantonese and Shanghainese is quite useful for spots like this because the translation is lacking. Big Soft Beef?!? Uh ok. Sometimes even the Chinese pictogram is no use either but it's better with a translator than not. We ended up settling for the staffs recs and got pork, beef, lamb with garlic, peppers, sichuan peppercorn and something else I dont remember. 4 proteins and 4 broths: mushroom, tomato, original and spicy beef tallow? Everything was delicious. Cause they hail from chengdu they had a warning that the level of spice would be high so we got medium but found actually it wasn't that spicy to us. But the guy next to us may have been having sone problems. Next time we go all the way. Staff are super friendly and the recs were solid. They're open for dinner but I think lunch will come and it's still a soft opening. I miss two of the previous 4 iterations of this space but this latest one is a hit read more
