If you're looking for legit Chongqing hotpot in SF, M Pot is the spot. The meats and veggies are fresh, and their egg fried rice is the best I've had. Super friendly service from the owner too. Highly recommend!

It's been a minute since I have been back here because I live in the other side of the city, but coming in again honestly reminded me why I should make more trips out to the Richmond district of SF. They did a full remodel and changed up the concept, and now they are a full hot pot restaurant which I actually love even more! The place looks really clean inside with a bunch of tables that can fit up to parties of eight. They use these super fast induction burners that get the broth boiling quick and the staff stay on top of the refills so that the broth never runs dry. They had many options for soup broths from clean broths such as the fish maw and chicken or something more deep tasting like their spicy beef tallow option. Ordering was super simple, they give you a sheet and you just check off whatever you want. We focused a lot into their veggies and proteins. We ordered the nicer cuts like kobe beef and Angus prime ribeye from the Chef's Specials section. They even have those rare and super hard to find organ meats I love too, like beef tripe, goose intestines, and even duck blood, and of course we ordered them too! My brothers and I ended up ordering a bit of everything on the menu because we were all excited and not paying attention to each other. It turned into a fun eating expedition for the four of us with the common goal that nothing is to be uneaten! All the food came out fresh and presented nicely. I really enjoyed the Kobe beef ribeye too. It came out on this huge wooden board that looked like a big chopping block stacked with thin slices, and it looked crazy good when they set it down right next to me. Hot pots in groups is always a good time for me and this place definitely made the whole meal easy and enjoyable. Going to be back soon for the proteins.

Just checked out this hotpot place and the flavor was absolutely amazing! You can find a variety of ingredients for hotpot which is classic in China but rare finds here in the US. Honestly I haven't seen anywhere else serving bamboo mushrooms for hotpot, and gladly I find it here, and it tastes great. The base was so flavorful and the owner told us they cooked the base in house. We also really enjoyed our dessert, 冰粉and糍粑. Both business owners came from Chongqing and they brought their passion into serving customers with good food and service, they helped us clear the foam on the surface as well, which was very nostalgic to me. Excellent service with clean and cozy environment!

Great service by Irene and great experience. Must order A5 beef and wagyu beef. The desert was…read morevery sweeeet.

don't even know where to start. This place completely blew me away…read more First, the service. Irene made this entire experience unforgettable. She was so warm, friendly, and genuinely helpful. It honestly felt like we were ordering with a friend who just happens to know the entire menu inside and out. She gave amazing recommendations and even told us she makes the hot sauce from scratch (which... you can taste the difference). That level of care really set the tone for the whole night. Now the food... not a single miss. Seriously, not one thing we didn't like. We went with the Ultra menu ($108), which includes lobster, and it was 100% worth it. For broths, we chose the Tom Yum and Tonkotsu. Both were rich, flavorful, and perfect in completely different ways. The meat selection was incredible, especially the wagyu options, they literally melt in your mouth. You can tell the quality is top tier. The flame-torched wagyu nigiri was absolutely out of this world--perfectly balanced and paired with a wasabi powder that elevated every bite. We also had the hamachi cloud, which was so fresh, flavorful, and had the perfect crunch--such a standout dish. And the spicy clams? Easily one of our favorites. Super fresh, super tasty, and packed with flavor. Beyond the food, the entire staff made us feel genuinely welcomed, which made the experience even better. The location is perfect. It's right in the center of Japantown. Inside they have a bar where you can sit and talk with the servers face-to-face. And it's a great spot to people watch while you eat. I truly cannot recommend this place enough. Between the incredible quality, the variety, and the next-level service. This is a spot I'll be coming back to again and again (and yes, I'll absolutely be asking for Irene).

Elevator is on the other corner of the center, so you do have to go a little around to get there if you need an elevator. Not too bad though. Small restaurant. Most of their tables are great for a group of 4 but I'm guessing they could just push together tables if your group is a little larger. Service was good. All our dishes were great. The sushi wraps were good but they can be a bit messy. 2 sushi wraps, 1 ramen, 1 sushi roll, seaweed salad, 2 sodas, came out to about $90. We'll be back to try more.

We were seated pretty quickly on a Sunday evening, and there were a couple of other parties there. They had a sign advertising a special where you can order two items from a list and it comes with soup, salad, and rice, but we ended up just splitting two house special rolls - the Salmon Mango roll and Rock N Roll roll (tuna, avocado, spicy mayo). Both were delicious. I particularly liked the Salmon Mango roll - it was a perfect mix of sweet and savory. The rolls came with 8 pieces each and each piece was a good size, so it was plenty for two of us. I also got a Sapporo beer (bottle) to sip on. Overall, good experience - quick, efficient service and satisfying meal.

YakiniQ really said "leave hungry? never heard of her."…read more Pulled up with my homie Jun because this man treated me to lobster last time and you already know... Asians keep receipts but in a wholesome way We don't split love, we rotate blessings. For $49.99/person, this AYCE Korean BBQ was straight violating my self-control. The short ribs?? HELLA BUSSIN. Like actually criminal. Every bite had me ascending like a TikTok food review in 4K. Meat so juicy I almost stood up and thanked the cow personally. The grill smoke got us smelling like seasoned warriors walking outta there but honestly worth it. Staff kept the meats coming faster than my auntie asking why I'm still single. And let me put y'all onto some elite Chinese vocabulary real quick: "好吃到舔手指" (hǎo chī dào tiǎn shǒu zhǐ) = "so good you lick your fingers." That's EXACTLY the vibe. Finger-licking good fr fr. YakiniQ got me fighting for my life, unbuttoning my pants in the parking lot, and already planning my return. 10/10. No crumbs left. Their "Red Hot" peanut sauce is the carry here - no doubt. Highly recommend with my utmost respectful regards!

Came here last night to celebrate a friend's birthday. Had poor experiences at the Livermore…read morelocation in the past, so wasnt really expecting much from this spot either. Granted we were a bit late for our reservation, we ended up having to wait another 30-40 mins. The place (2nd floor) is small & awkward. We were all cramped waiting on the stairway and the actual seating area is also fairly small for a busy KBBQ place/big parties. The 8 of us squeezed into a booth with 2 chairs on the side. You can also feel whenever the table next to us got up and stomped/yelled/moved in their chairs-- which was really often. The basic AYCE menu is fairly limited-- esp for the side options. The marinated meats were pretty good as was the tteokbokki. Side & meat portions were alright, but the kicker is having to flag down staff to make sure they put in the order & bring it out. We asked for japchae about 5 times before it actually reached our table towards the end of our meal. The server/manager also told us that he had accidentally brought out 2 bottles of soju for us and that he'd COMP 1 bottle. We didnt notice that he had actually charged us for 2 and comped/subtracted a "third" one. So none were really comped at all. I just realized after we paid and that felt really sketchy. Idk if it's worth coming back here.
