    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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!).

    Hotpot soups - you get to pick 4

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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

    AYCE hot pot for the win! Came to Taichi Pot Shabu Shabu after they were featured on Yelp's top 100…read moreplaces to eat in the Bay Area list. Even though they aren't too far from me I hadn't heard of them before. It's an unassuming spot tucked into a shopping center next to a bagel and water shop, but it gets crowded, and for good reason. This was only my second time ever having hot pot, the first time was not AYCE and was an individual pot, so it was fun to try the shared AYCE way. We picked two broths, the Shrimp and signature, and then went down the menu selecting proteins and other add-ons. We went with the Ultra over the supreme so we could get some of the nicer cuts of meats. They have happy hour pricing of a few dollars off earlier in the evening, which was going on when we were in. Non-meat dd-on favorites included the Napa cabbage, kabocha squash, ramen, bok choy, and shitake mushrooms. We got the Enoki mushrooms the first round, but switched to shitake for round two and they were the favorite. My boyfriend's favorite meat was the wagyu, and I was partial to the pork and angus beef, but everything was good.

Soups are flavorful, garlic actually comes through, meat is good quality that melts in your mouth, marbling looks good. I will say that the broth does end up becoming really salty near the end but you can ask the servers for more broth.

    If you're in Mountain View and can't decide between hot pot or KBBQ, this place is a lifesaver. The…read moresetup is actually pretty cool because you get your own individual hot pot so you don't have to share broth, but there's still a shared grill in the middle for the BBQ. The all-you-can-eat is the move here. The meat quality is solid--the wagyu beef and spicy pork belly usually hit the spot on the grill. On the hot pot side, the pork bone broth is a safe bet, and the spicy broth actually has a decent kick to it. Also, they have those little fried buns with condensed milk that are dangerously good. They give ice cream at the end with a cone which is sweet dessert. The vibe is super lively and loud, definitely not a quiet dinner spot. They even have those robots rolling around bringing out plates, which is kind of funny to watch. Service is quick; you just order everything on your phone and it shows up fast. Just remember the 90 minute limit. It's clean, modern, and you'll definitely leave feeling like you need a nap. Great spot to hit with a group if you're looking to get a lot of food without breaking the bank.

    I assumed they are newly opened but now im unsure since there are reviews way back from 2019. But…read morethis is as my first time coming here and im wondering if I would come back - Staff is super friendly and attentive - Broths are very bland. I understand that it might be intentional so it can be customizable from the big variety of sauces at the sauce bar. But I would say its very lacking. No salt, no depth. Almost like flavored water. - Portions are okay. It's AYCE so it makes sense that their portions are smaller. but it is much smaller than places ive been to. Please be mindful when you decide which meat to be on the grill as majority of them is to be for hotpot. so it will dissolve on the grill the moment you realize it. - Meat quality is fine for AYCE. However there are some thats a bit questioning. The spicy beef is just the thinniest slices that are marinaded in the chili oil. But after cooking the texture and even flavor is very very off. I highly recommend getting the Finger Cubes BBQ (i think), nice blend of fat and meat and def the most flavorful. - ORDERING SYSTEM is a nightmare. Since the portions are so small, you would have to order multiple rounds and there is a time block apparently so you dont over order. But the system is so slow and not intuitive at all. At first i thought they are just opened and would give it some time to improve. But now i dont see myself coming back at all.
