    My single combo before cooking- some sort wagyu, tendon, tilapia, various veggies
    Rita W.

    It's been ages since I've had hot pot, and tbh, I haven't been a fan of it because a lot of items have been bland to me. A couple workout buddies + kids and I went here for dinner on a Friday night, put our name down on the wait list, and waited for around 20 mins. During the wait time, we went nearby to the bakery and got some stuff there. Absolutely love the single pots here so you can enjoy your own flavor soup/broth to drink and to cook the items you choose. We were seated and everything looked so clean. Ordering was done via QR code and the items accumulate on the order page where if multiple people scan the table QR code, whatever each person adds gets added so don't check out until everything in that around is definitely in. The soups and items came by sooooo quickly. I was impressed! They have a make your own sauce combo and we did that between ordering and getting our stuff. I got a singles combo with tom yum soup base. It was a good amount of food. I chose one of the Wagyu, and the side items I chose were tendon, fish, and if I also chose something else, I forgot. It came with a lot of veggies such as greens and mushroom. Guess I mixed and "created" my sauces right cause they went well with the stuff. Cooking the meat was so quick, so pretty much not much wait time to enjoy some food. Others chose some different cuts of beef, some lamb (?), quail eggs, and more. A bit pricey, but the stuff was super fresh and things were really quick so it was worth it to me.

    sides: Sliced Tilapia Fillet and shrimp

    I am so against a la carte hot pot, but I get the Mumu hype for real!! The quality is there and the taste is so good. My party came in midday, and there was no wait on a Saturday. If I remember correctly, we had a reservation and arrived early as well. They sat us down once we were all there since there was no wait. My partner and I opted for the classic set which had 2 soup bases, 3 meats, 3 sides, 2 rice/noodle, and a veggie platter. I opted for the Yuzu Shio, while my partner got the Sukiyaki. I loved my broth! Again the meats, despite being from their most basic set meats was so good. You can definitely tell the difference in quality. I was scared this wasn't gonna be enough, but it was plenty! We were so full by the end. Again, I totally get the Mumu hot pot hype. I will be back LOL

    We really like mumu hotpot. Their meat is definitely better than those AYCE. We are not a huge eater so we prefer better quality. This place is quite busy, sometimes wait time could be 45 mins to an hour on weekends. No reservations. We put down our name and walk around the plaza while waiting for our seats. Service is always good. The 2 people combo menu comes with 3 trays of meat, veggies and choice of rice and noodles. Sauce is available for your choice. There are plenty of soup base for you to choose from with spicy and non spicy option. I always like tom yum soup. Yum!

    Their wagyu beef is tender. Makes the hot pot experience great. Love their mushroom sauce that you can get from the sauce bar. Service is great. Servers are always friendly and they are quick to serve you.

    Great experience! Tomyum base with sauces enriches the tastes and enhances the flavors. Vegetarian single combo was a great hit! 30 mins wait time Saturday evening!

    Hot pot! Meal for 2

    First time hot potter! The hype is real! Check in when I arrived. 20 minute wait and it was worth it! Staff showed us how to make the sauce and explained the process. Be careful it is HOT!!! Hence the hot pot. Burned my mouth. I might have to come back next week! Very good and flavorful! Packed but quick service.

    Came here for the first time on a Sunday for lunch and there was a 5 min wait which is not bad. If there is a wait, you can add yourself to the Yelp Waitlist on the iPad, then they'll call your name once they're ready. The menu is on a QR code and one person will put it on their phone and order everyone's order from there. I got the tom yum soup, with the New Zealand lamb shoulder meat, and udon noodles. The veggies come on the side already and I also picked shrimp as the other option. Once we ordered it, the food came out within a minute - it was so fast! There is a sauce/condiment bar where you can create your own side dipping sauce. The tom yum soup was really good but I couldn't tell if it was a bit salty but besides that it was really good. The meat was good as well. Service was good - they came to our table a couple of times to refill water. If you don't finish your food, you can get a container and boxes to pack up your food ToGo. There is a large parking lot outside and there are two restroom stalls here for the women's restroom. I would definitely come back here again.

    I haven't been to Mumu in a long time. I used to go pretty often when I lived in the South Bay, especially when the first location opened in Sunnyvale. I eventually stopped going because the prices kept going up. It used to be much more affordable, and now it's definitely on the higher end. There are a lot of other AYCE hot pot places you can go to for much less, and while the meat quality might not be the same, the price difference is huge. Recently, I went vegetarian, and it's actually hard to find a good value AYCE hot pot spot without ordering meat. I noticed that Mumu offers a single vegetarian combo for $27, which isn't bad at all, so we decided to give it another try. I do wish they offered some kind of meat substitute like seitan or gluten, but that's honestly hard to find at hot pot places in general. I ordered the vegetarian tom yum broth, and the vegetable tray was huge. I still had vegetables left over after eating. Ordering is done through a QR code, which was a little confusing at first. It asks you to pick two vegetable items, so I assumed that was all I was getting. It doesn't clearly explain that you also receive a full vegetable tray in addition to the extra veggies you choose. One thing I really appreciated was that adding a raw egg is only $1, which is much more reasonable compared to other places that charge $2 to $3 per egg. The sauce bar is still awesome, the quality of the food is as good as I remembered, and the service was great and attentive. Overall, I was very satisfied and will definitely come back. I'm still kind of shocked at how filling and satisfying vegetarian hot pot can be. I just wish they had a meat substitute option.

    We really enjoyed our lunch at Mumu. Dare I say, almost as good as homemade hot pot?! We got there shortly after they opened and there were already a few groups before us. The restaurant is a pretty good size and it filled up, even for a weekday lunch! People truly like this place! The server was cheerful, friendly, and explained everything to us. They checked in a few times, refilling our water glasses and broth (choice of hot water or chicken stock). We ordered the "Classic" 2 person set ($75). 3 meats (1 angus short rib & 2 chuck eye), 3 sides (spam, fish balls with roe, & tendon), 2 noodle or rice (1 house ramen & 1 udon), 1 veggie platter. All of the items were high quality and well cleaned. No growth media left on mushrooms, veggies were properly scrubbed, etc. Check out photos to see how nice and clean everything is! We don't usually like fried tofu or tofu skin, but those items were super fresh and delicious here. They had a good selection of stuff to go with the meats and you can always order more. We really like the chuck eye. It is tender without being super fatty. The tendon was extremely soft and one of our favorites too. We got an extra portion for $7. The House Ramen wasn't like the classic wavy Ramen, but more like a thin noodle. The udon was high quality, the set comes with half of a usual block. Kids really enjoyed these items and we had to order extras ($5 for a whole block of udon). I got an extra Napa cabbage ($6), which was well cleaned and a pretty generous portion. We got one extra soup base for $7. The mushroom soup was DH's favorite. It had a little bit of tanginess, which I'm not sure if I liked, but made it more complex. Little one got miso, which he loved. Me and the tiny one shared a Sukiyaki soup, which is sweet and savory, sorta like Teriyaki flavor. If you're not sure about spiciness level, get a plain soup and add the spice at the toppings station afterwards. The toppings station had many options. You try it out some sesame oil and chili crisp. Crushed garlic also looked really good. Here you can get extra small bowls and soup spoons. The restaurant is casual and kept at a colder temperature than usual, which makes sense given that you're eating hot (and possibly spicy) soup. There was a sports game playing on the TV. Overall, a really excellent experience at a reasonable price. We will be back!

    Mumu always taste good. There is a wait so sign up for the yelp waitlist. We got the combo and it fed both of us so well. The Wagyu is so delicious. I will def come Back and the sukiyaki broth taste so good.

    The broth and the meat quality were amazing! The sauce station was pretty solid as well. Great spot during cold, rainy weather! Make sure to add yourself to the reservation list in advance!

    This is the third Mumu Hot Pot location I've been to in the Bay Area and this one seems to be the smallest and older. The wait on a Friday night was a bit longer than expected than what was shown when we first joined the waitlist. Service here is fast though! We did get seated by the kitchen, so it was a bit hectic with staff constantly rushing behind us. We got the premium set and the meat quality was great. The vegetable platter that came with the set had a nice variety of fresh veggies. We ordered udon noodles but what we got was broken up pieces of frozen noodles that looked only to be half a serving. Other than that we still enjoyed our meal and were both stuffed. Personally I'd choose the Emeryville location over this one just because it's bigger and you're not sharing a table with other guests as much.

    For two

    Meat lovers is the way to go, plenty of food for two people. Tom yum soup base is my go to Don't forget to get your sauces at the condiments bar. Their juices are pretty good too! Parking: always easy unless youre going prime time

    Mumu Hot Pot Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Mumu Hot Pot

    Is this place vegetarian friendly? I don't eat red meat

    Wait time for dinner?

    30-45 mins on the weekend

    Is this all you can eat?

    No, it isn't!

    I like MuMu. Do you have a membership to apply for better benefit to customer and loyalty? Thanks

    I don't think they have a loyalty program, but you can check in on Yelp for a free Sake!

    Do you serve halal meet?

    I saw on the menu that the lamb is halal

    Will you guys be discontinuing the Green Pepper soup base? I saw that it's not on the new menu :( It's our favorite!

    The green pepper sauce is at the sauce bar. We order the mushroom soup base, then add the green pepper sauce.

    Any gluten free options? If so, what are they? Thank you!

    Hi Jeff, Most of our soup bases are gluten free such as Tom Yum, Tomato, Sichuan Spicy, Mushroom… 

    Is any meat here halal? It comes up when searching halal but the menu doesn't specify.

    Not to my knowledge. They likely buy in bulk so not likely halal unless they specifically purchased meat that followed halal practice.

    All you can?

    Nope. Never has been, but the quality here tends to be better than most AYCE's.

    Are they open? I've been trying to call them but no answer. We don't wanna drive if it's closed. Would be nice if they have a greeting saying they're open or closed or maybe answer their phone

    They have been open at least for the last four months that I've been there. If they are closed, there are lots of other great restaurants in the same complex.

    Is this open? Do they have single or family take out options?

    I went there last week...they do close after lunch and reopen for dinner.

    Is it all you can eat?

    No it is not. But the portion is fairly reasonable so I figured out no need to overpay for portions that I can't consume. Hope this helps.

    Are we able to make a reservation?

    Yes
