My daughter, friend and I were in the mood for Hot Pot. We had heard good things about this place so decided to stop by on a Sunday afternoon. It was busy surprisingly. We were greeted and seated right away. The place looked clean and organized. It was a little cold though. We each ordered different broths which were all flavorful. They had a sauce bar and the hot pot items are ordered from an app. Each person in your party scans the QR menu and then add items. Everything was fresh. I loved the sauce bar. We didn't get to try the Korean BBQ but will the next time.

I LOVE IPOT. This is a hotpot+KBBQ spot in the sunset district that is a tried and true classic. All you can eat for 38$ (plus tax) plus dessert included. Their meat quality is good and so are their hot pot ingredients. We got pork bone broth and the curry based soup and we went ham. Not much needs to be said. They have everything you could ever need

Watched superbowl here. Pretty good hotpot + grill ayce place in sunset district. This one does the grill right, like their grill which seems to be ceramic or titanium that doesn't stick and burn easily. Marinate and thickness are about right. For hotpot variety is pretty good, standout is the large selection of soup varieties (but doesn't seem to have strong flavor, rather mild). Meat is fine though not much standout. Desert there is mochi ice cream. They biang biang hand pulled noodles are fun and good texture, though it is very hard to find very good biang biang noodles. Korean short ribs wasn't enough done, still had some rare bits. A lot of things to try though not top notch, but who is.

I don't understand how this place is ranked so highly. When we got started, I noticed that 2 of the 4 plates were dirty. The sauce bar looked very unclean, and some ingredients seemed to have gone bad. We ordered several items that we never received, even after politely reminding the servers. The food quality was mediocre--I ordered the steamed pork buns, and they came out cold in the middle. The broth was extremely diluted, so you're essentially cooking in plain water. That said, the servers were very kind, but the restaurant's system is clearly not working. Overall, I wouldn't recommend it.

We came here at night on Wednesday, and here's my experience: 1. Ambiance (4/5) The restaurant had a casual vibe and was quite busy when we arrived. It was clean and had plenty of seating. 2. Service (5/5) The service was excellent. We got a table for five quickly because we had already joined the waitlist on Yelp. All the staff were friendly and super attentive. Great service here! :) 3. Food (4/5) - Hot Pot (5/5):We ordered the Tom Yum and Miso hot pots. The broth was delicious and had an authentic, rich flavor. The meat was tender and fresh, and the vegetables were good too. I truly recommend the hot pot here! - BBQ (3/5): Personally, I didn't like the way the meat was seasoned. I prefer it unseasoned so you can taste the freshness of the meat. I also wish they had more variety in the meat options, lettuce, and vegetables. - Appetizer: It was okay, but our grilled ribs were super chewy :( - Drinks & Dessert (2/5): The drinks and desserts were way too sweet for us -- the boba tea, ice cream, and jelly.:( Overall: I definitely recommend the hot pot -- it was hella good! The servers were very nice and helpful. One downside was that the drinks and desserts were really sweet for us. Next time, I'd try a different broth!

We came here for my friends birthday. They charge you around 37 per person and it's all you can eat. Everything was good but the kitchen closed midway and they told us that the kitchen was closing and it stressed us out a bit which shifted the vibe. Other than that the staff are so nice and the food is yummy. The watermelon drink was so good and the boba was good

Didn't even get to eat here due to the wait time for people with reservations We had a 7:00 pm reservation on Saturday (booked through Resy). The app showed plenty of availability, so we expected things to run on time. When we arrived, it was difficult to even check in, there didn't seem to be a dedicated host, and the person handling check-ins was also waiting tables. When we finally got to check in, we were told there would be a 15-20 minute wait. After 10 minutes, we checked again and got the same answer. We also noticed that tables seated at 7:00 were still waiting for their server 20 minutes later with no food. By 7:35, we were told our table was "almost ready," but we had other plans at 9:00 and decided to leave. Can't comment on the food or the ambiance, but the service and organization really need work. It seems like they're overbooking reservations, which is frustrating for guests who plan ahead. I can totally understand a 10-15 min hold up but 30+ min is a bit much.

Where AYCE Meets WagyuIf you thought "all-you-can-eat" meant sacrificing quality, let me introduce you to the elevated hot pot experience we recently enjoyed in San Francisco. This spot isn't just about volume; it's about delivering genuinely premium ingredients in a limitless format.The true stars of the evening were the proteins. For an AYCE establishment, the selection was remarkably high-end. The Wagyu was an absolute standout--thinly sliced with beautiful marbling, it cooked in mere seconds and melted on the tongue like butter. This alone makes the price point worthwhile. Similarly, the Ribeye cuts were rich, tender, and robust, providing a deeply satisfying counterpoint to the delicate Wagyu. We managed to go through several plates of both, ensuring we fully maximized the premium offerings.Beyond the luxurious meats, the experience was completed by the abundance of fresh assorted vegetables. The selection was comprehensive, featuring everything from delicate enoki and king oyster mushrooms to crisp Napa cabbage, tofu, and vibrant greens. This variety allowed us to craft balanced bowls with great texture and flavor complexity in our chosen broth (we opted for the pork bone broth). The service was swift, constantly ensuring our tables were clear and our plates of premium meats kept coming without delay--a critical factor for a smooth AYCE operation. For anyone looking to indulge in high-quality meats, especially a Wagyu fix, without the pressure of a la carte pricing, this restaurant is a non-negotiable must-visit in San Francisco. It perfectly balances fantastic value with exceptional flavor.

Great experience at this place! Upon getting seated, we scanned the QR code to look at what's available (it's the same price for whether you eat both KBBQ and hotpot or only one type) to order everything and within minutes the food started coming out. Servers were great at handling our large orders of meat and sides, changing out our grill once it got too burnt, and also refilling our water cups. Sauce bar also had side dishes like fruit and kimchi / seaweed salad. We asked them to do something special for our friend whose birthday we were celebrating, so they played the Happy birthday song and also gave a discount on our bill! If you plan on coming with a large party, you can also sign up for their free membership with a phone number and get 5% cash back and reward points for future visits

Went on a Wednesday night for AYCE hot pot. Since it's getting late, there were only around 5 occupied tables. We ordered 2 rounds and each time the dishes came out promptly. We had the tomato soup base and the winter melon pork bone soup base and both were good. The wagyu beef was fresh and soft. There was also a great variety, from mushrooms, tofu, sweet potatoes and assorted vegetables to mussels, noodles, and pork, to choose from. They also had great already-cooked dishes and desserts. I especially like the fried buns and pumpkin parrake. I thought the price of under $38/person for the AYCE was decent and reasonable. The price covered all food except drinks. A shout out to the young waiter with brown curly hair. With a big smile, he was very friendly, attentive, and helpful.

Wonderful all you can eat, service and price are good, the only problem was that some joker poured tequila in their sauces.. San Francisco ... what can you do? Most of their clientele were older because we ate an early dinner (lots of stuff to do for the lunar new year).. Meats were good, but didn't care for the American Waygu.
