San Francisco has always been the melting pot of America. You will always find food from around the world along with people from all around the world. One of the most diverse Universities in the USA which is San Francisco State University is a melting pot and an universe of its own. There is a place in the cuts less than a block away which serves lots of pot and in a melting pot. It's the place to go when it's cold or hot and it's called Mumu Hot Pot. On the first week of September stroll before the Fall I landed at Mumu Hot Pot near Holloway avenue on Varela avenue. Inside is spacious with lots of hot pot tables. I decided to go with Tom Yum broth which wasn't as salty or sour like some in SF. I then choose to go with the Japanese A5 Wagyu Short Ribs which was tender and shrimp which was okay and the Ooh Don ( Udon) noodles which thicker than Angel hair pasta noodles. I also had much room in the hot pot for some mushroom. I washed all down with a Green Grape Four Season Iced Tea which was not too sour like some on my social media feed all four seasons. Hats off to Mumu .A good place for hot pot in the melting pot of San Francisco. This is the food "spot" in SF that "got"the the Wagyu meat you dip in a "hot" broth boiling steaming" pot" Go to a place where it charge per "head"to get some hot pot for wagyu meat from Japan which comes from cows which are well "bred" and also well "fed" and it's located in the cuts of "Park Merced"
TLDR: This is excellent quality hotpot in a spacious, comfortable setting. Parking was easy, hours are extensive, service was good, and we found all the ingredients to be quite fresh. The classic set for 2 was the perfect amount of food. Not our favorite hotpot in the Bay, mostly because the two broths we tried were not as good as those we've had elsewhere, but we'd still come back if we were in the area. ------ FOOD: STRUCTURE - You can order sets or a la carte. Depending on how hungry and/or picky you are, the sets felt like a good option to get a variety of things. They have sets for two and sets for individuals. 1. SOUP - SICHUAN SPICY (4.5/5) Indeed quite spicy. We had to spoon out most of the chili oil and peppers, but this was definitely the more flavorful option of the two soups. More genuinely spicy than mala spicy, but maybe mala is easier to spoon out than chili oil. 2. SOUP - MISO (3/5) The waiter said the most-ordered soups were Miso, Sichuan Spicy, and Tom Yum, so maybe my expectations for miso were too high. This has a slight miso flavor, but is overall pretty bland and lacks the saltiness and umami-ness of normal miso soup. 3. MEAT - WAGYU BEEF CHUCK EYE (5/5) Exceptional. Really fatty and the meat slices are really big, which makes for a more satisfying bite. Would get two of these next time. 4. MEAT - BEEF SHORT RIB (4.5/5) Another great option. Definitely leaner than the chuck eye, and a plate comes with many smaller strips of meat vs. the chuck eye. This is eaiser to share for a big group. 5. MEAT - KUROBUTA PORK COLLAR (1/5) We usually love kurobuta but we didn't even want to eat this after our first bite. It smells extremely strongly of (soured) pork and has a weird and strong taste too that I've never experienced with pork. It's like the strength of an extremely gamey lamb, but for pork. Not sure if this was just a bad serving? 6. SIDE - PORK TENDON (4/5) Came with four knuckle-sized tendons which, after cooking, became very soft (not chewy), kind of like the taste and texture of a century egg. We likely this more than we thought we would! 7. SIDE - TILAPIA (4/5) Standard fish filet. Again, only four-ish slices so not that much. May or may not get again. 8. SIDE - FRIED BEANCURD ROLL (3/5) Wouldn't get again. Not freshly fried like at some other hotpot spots. Not crispy, kind of just doughy even though it looks like it was fried at one point. Doesn't hold soup well and just dissolves into a wet pile after being in soup. 9. CARB - RAMEN (5/5) These didn't feel pre-frozen. They almost felt like they were freshly made, though I assume that's not the case. Really liked them, had a very satisfying texture, almost like the sturdiness of soba / buckwheat noodles. 10. CARB - UDON (3/5) Typical udon portion, but it was so frozen that it was icy on the bottom. I think this impacted how well the noodle cooked. Not my favorite. 11. VEGETABLES - ASSORTED (4.5/5) We didn't get to choose these but received a nice assortment of napa cabbage, spinach, enoki mushrooms, portabella mushrooms, fried tofu, silken tofu, broccoli, and tofu skins. All were high quality and tasty. SAUCE BAR SITUATION There's an unlimited sauce bar that is well maintained with all the typical spicy sauces, umami sauces, green garnishes (cilantro, green onion), and dark sauces. There are no sides (chicken feet, egg slices, peanuts, etc) or dessert-type things. ------ ENVIRONMENT / AMBIANCE: * This is a very clean, well-maintained space in a residential neighborhood. The interior is quite large with ~3 different large spaces inside for groups of all sizes. There's a lot of space between tables so you don't feel too crammed. * It was easy to find parking, but we came during an off-peak time so maybe that helped. There's no dedicated parking lot so you have to find street parking, which there seemed to be a lot of ------ SERVICE: * You order using a QR code at your table, which was very easy * They came by to refill our water at the beginning and end, but I could see how they might be even slower to do so during busier times of day * Otherwise, our server was pretty nice and standard. No complaints here
Food 9/10 good options! Free sauce bar Service 9/10 quick service Ambiance 8/10 noisy but not too busy ~ music too loud.
I would say it was good. May be I m just not a raw food mumu hot pot kinda person. Went here after 4 5 years after first trying hot pot. Ordering vegetation combo , corn and winter lemonade with Tom yum soup. My partner really liked the soup. I loved the sauces. My daughter enjoyed the seasame peanut sauce.
Decent hot pot spot with individual soup pots and a loaded sauce bar. We had the meal for 2, which is $75 and found the value to be worth it for the amount of food and for a once in a while dinner. We both left very full!! We had the yuzu shio and creamy tomato soup which were both good, but I think the yuzu shio won because it went so well with the house ramen noodles we got with our set as well. The Prime Angus Black Short Ribs were the best cut we tried, it was fatty and beefy in flavor. I would skip the Toro Wagyu because it is almost too fatty! I liked how the set came with a lot of vegetables and tofu as well! Service was great and our waiter let us try some of the soup bases before we ordered which was very kind. The space is also very clean and open. We got parking right across the street because it was early!
This's my 4th time eating at MuMu hot pot! Foods are good but not very good or excellent cause there're nothing special about the meats nor the vegetables! What brought me here cause the location, the parking, it's because the high ceiling, clean, new restaurants! Service is ok
We were craving hotpot, so I finally checked out Mumu Hot Pot, and I really enjoyed it! The space was really clean and open, with individual pots for each person! This spot is only à la carte. We order The Classic which serve for two people and comes: 2 x Soup base: Creamy Tomato (Sweet & Sour) and Mushroom 3 x Meat: Premium Black Angus Beef Short Ribs Boneless, Australia M9 Wagyu Chuckeye, and American Wagyu Beef Toro (40% Fat) 3 x Side: Shrimp Paste, Fish Ball with Roe, and Fried Beancurd Rolls 2 x Noodle or Rice: House Ramen and Udon 1 x Veggie Platter (Large) There's a sauce bar in the middle of the restaurant that was clean and organized. I have a nut allergy, and I appreciated that the server went to the back to check all the ingredients and confirm items that are nut free, then brought me sauces from the back just to be safe. The combo was more than enough to fill me and my partner! We left perfectly full! Between the two soup bases, we liked the creamy tomato soup base more than the mushroom. Everything was great, and tables were big enough to hold all of our food! One note: Parking can be tricky since it is right next to SFSU. Overall, had a good experience and great meal!
Found this gem through Yelp and was very impressed with the options! You can scan their QR code on the table to order. My husband and I got the combo that comes with 3 meats, 3 sides, 2 noodles and 1 veggie platter for $75. Plenty of food for 2 people! You could probably share it with 3 people if you came with a group. It's also nice that you have separate soup pots and it's lowered into the table so your table doesn't feel so crowded. We tried the tom yum and yuzu shio. Both broths were delicious! We ordered 2 of the short ribs and tried the lamb. I'd probably just stick with the beefs since the cuts were more with the beef! The establishment is very clean and the waiters are very attentive to check on you if you need more soup or water.
One of the best hot pot restaurants I've been to! The quality of the meat is great, and I actually prefer their à la carte pricing since you can order exactly what you want. It's not AYCE, but the portions are generous, and each order comes with a good variety and amount of veggies. I also loved their sauce bar. It was very clean, organized, and easy to use. Having the sauces dispensed from spigots is honestly genius. Another thing I appreciated was how deep the individual hot pot stoves are, instead of just being a flat surface. It helps minimize broth splatter and makes cooking at the table feel much more comfortable. FOOD: 9/10 SERVICE: 9/10 AMBIANCE: 9/10 Parking is hit or miss, as it is tucked in between both SFSU and Parkmerced apartments.
Visited on 6/13/26, Oh my god.... so yummy!! I heard there was usually a wait at Mumu's (no reservations unfortunately) but we walked in and got seated quickly. There's a self serve sauce bar where you can make your own combination -- I recommend trying the satay at this location; it added a nice, salty meaty flavor to the sauce combo I had. You can order through a QR code, and from there you're able to select the meats, toppings, and broth you want. It isn't AYCE, but I think the pricing and the quality of the ingredients make it all so worth it. Everyone gets their own individual pot and cooker. So for my broth, I chose the Tom Yum -- I personally don't really like the tartiness and tomato flavor of the broth but I enjoy its spice. I do wish they had a spicy miso option .. But everything else makes up for this imo!! We got the wagyu beef options, the toro was definitely a favorite -- they were all great quality and fresh. Wasn't too fatty, and had beautiful marbling on each slice that was perfectly thin for shabu. For sides, I chose quail egg, fried beancurd sticks, and fishball with roe. It offers you a source of carbs -- which I will always choose udon... *_* hehe Food did take a bit to come out but that was because we were a party of six, so I didn't mind the wait too much. But when it did come, I love how they give you more toppings in your order -- like the addition of veggies like napa cabbage, spinach, bok choy, and broccoli then mushrooms like enoki and shiitake! For the toppings we ordered, they always give such a generous amount which I can appreciate because the platter we ordered is for two people after all. Still, it can be a lot and filling. Inside, tables do get filled pretty quickly but everything is clean and slick-- it feels quite cozy and warm and makes for a great atmosphere and experience to have hot pot with your loved ones. I definitely would come back here again for solo dining or with friends/family! Do not skip out here .. ^_^
First, I just want to say the interior design is so up my alley, rustic brown and beige. I came on a Monday night with one of my best friends and we were seated right away (we did have a Yelp res though). We ordered the Classic Combo for two, which came with, 2 soup bases, 3 meats, 3 sides, 2 noodles/rice, and 1 large veggie platter. & honestly, it was WAY too much food for the two of us, so it was definitely worth the price of $75! The broth was so flavorful and the wagyu quality was amazing. I also love how the pot is in the table so we don't have to reach so high to eat. The servers were super attentive and constantly came by to refill our water and soup bases without us even asking. They also have a self-serve sauce bar where you can customize your own dipping sauce, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend this place!!
Love this Mumu location. The interior is clean as always, and the service is great. Hardest part might be getting a table depending on the time of day, but the food comes out very quickly after you order. The classic combo for two can't be beat. My personal favorite is the house ramen here, the noodles are so chewy and bouncy when cooked properly! Their sauce bar offers such a wide variety of options, I always opt for a mixture of ponzu/minced garlic/green onion/sesame paste for something with a savory layered taste to it. This place is perfect to get your hot pot fix in if you're not looking for something too heavy. Everything is fresh, and I've never had any issues with ingredient quality.
First time trying hot pot, really good and tasty! Services was good, and quick. Ambiance was calm and welcoming.

Hi Rovin, thank you! We’re delighted you were seated and served…
I really like mumu hot pot so was super excited when they opened one in SF! I don't have to drive down to South Bay anymore. I usually get the yuzu shio broth for a light and refreshing broth. I have come to realize I tend to go for more beef than other proteins for hot pot and really like the short rib and the wagyu. It's nice because you get your own pot but can do a combo for two people to share the meat and vegetables. Had the shrimp paste add on and the fish add on, both of which were pretty good! The sauce bar is also pretty well stocked. I mainly keep my sauce pretty simple with garlic, green onion, cilantro, and ponzu but they have all the classic sauces including chili oil, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame sauce, sesame oil, ponzu, soy sauce, vinegar, sweet soy sauce, and even mushroom sauce. Also had no idea when I went the first time, but on my second visit, I realized that there is also a back seating area for this location! I did street parking near SF state but it looks like they're also having a parking lot around here... not sure about this part yet. Pretty attentive staff from both visits so far. read more

Loved Mumu hot pot!! I've been on the hunt for a great hot pot place for vegetarians and this definitely fit the bill!! I got the vegetarian combo for one and wow was it a lot of food! I got the tomato soup base and it was really flavorful! They had a good selection of sauces too which paired well with everything. My favorite item in the combo was the tofu skin! My favorite part of this place is all the soup bases are for individuals so I don't feel like I have to disturb my meat eating friends :) Highly recommend this place for vegetarians!! read more

Walked in hungry, walked out borderline defeated. The meat quality here is the main event--thin slices, heavy marbling, cooks in seconds and just melts. You can tell it's not the cheap stuff. Broth options hit too, especially the spicy one--actually has depth, not just heat. What I liked most: everything feels dialed in. Clean setup, fast service, no waiting around awkwardly while your pot boils. Staff keeps things moving without hovering. Sauces bar is dangerous. Easy to overdo it, but when you get it right, it upgrades everything. Only warning--pace yourself. It's one of those spots where you keep throwing in "just one more round" and suddenly you're done. Solid 5. Would come back and make the same mistake again. read more

Not AYCE but generous portions and fresh ingredients make Mumu a must hit Hotpot spot! Ive been to the Foster City location but it was my first time at this location. Easy to find free street parking around, location feels super clean, new, and updated. Easy to order through our phones, food came out quickly. For 3 people, we ordered a combo for 2 and a single, and split it all. There was plenty of food for everyone, and even a little leftover! We all got our own pots of soup as well. Sauce bar was fresh and lots of options. Definitely recommend for your Hotpot fix around the city! read more

Got the single's meat set with sukiyaki broth (yum), wagyu beef chuck eye roll (yum), tilapia (good but would probably try something else next time), rice cakes, and udon noodles. I love that they also have a dipping sauce bar so you can make your own ponzu or soy sauce concoctions to your liking. I wish they gave more meat but I do enjoy that they give you lots of veggies and sides. Service was okay but kind of slow and they didn't bring our broth until they brought out the meat (usually places bring the broth first so it can boil before your meat arrives). Ambiance was very noisy because of a few screaming/crying kids but overall clean and parking was plentiful. I think this location is new. read more

Convenient and fast service hot pot spot with everything you would need for a great hot pot experience! My friend and I went on a Friday afternoon and got The Classic combo ($75). The portions are plenty and definitely enough for two people to eat until they're full. We got these meats and sides: 1. Meats: lamb, wagyu, chuck eye -good portion of meat, thinly sliced, fresh -definitely should dip the meat in a sauce!! (You can make your own sauce at their sauce bar) 2. Sides: tofu skin, udon, cabbage, tofu, mushrooms, fish balls with roe, choy sum, broccoli and cauliflower -sides were fresh and clean, let them soak up the flavor of the broth 3. Soup bases: tom yum and creamy tomato -tom yum has a sour taste with a slight spiciness, good if you like sour soups -tomato base had a strong tomato flavor and was light, great if you prefer less spicy bases The inside of the restaurant feels clean and well-lit, and the seats were cushioned. It was also easy to ask for more broth and more water from the waiters. Ordering is also easy, as you order using a QR code (instead of a paper menu) and pay online. I think this restaurant can further improve by posting their menu clearly on a wall and decorating the walls with more art. I would also love for them to expand their sauce bar options to include fried garlic and dry peanuts. Overall, I was very satisfied with the food and would come here again if I was craving hot pot! read more

I love the Sunnyvale location and had no idea they also have one in SF near SFSU. The location is very spacious with plenty of tables. Parking can be a bit annoying though. The menu is a la carte or you can choose a combo (my recommendation). The two of us got a "Mumu Combo" and felt it was more than enough food. It comes with 4 meats and PLENTY of vegetables. I opted for the Sichuan Spicy broth, which definitely lives up to the name. My boyfriend got the sukiyaki broth, which was a bit too sweet and we would not get again. read more
