Great spot. Fantastic ventilation and good flavors. I was surprised to find this hot pot place, a couple blocks away from SF Chinatown. Interior is a little cramped, especially with the movable tray-carts butting up against tables for additional surface area for servers to stash the raw hot pot ingredients. Luckily, my party of six had a reservation for the evening, which was a blessing as there was a fair around the entrance. Table dimensions are well thought out, with everyone being able to reach to where the hot pot is located. It is a hot pot place and it's expected that you do a fair amount of work for your meal, but the staff were very focused on trying to get food to the table and nothing more beyond that. We had to really try hard to flag down staff to get us seated for our reservation, and during the meal, to get them to refill the broth when it ran low. Thankfully, there's lots of self-serve features in the place. There's a saucing station with plenty of recommended combos (including their house special oil). Self-serve ice cream where all you have to do is place the cone in the holder and the machines handles all the dispensing for you. And the table has a big cup of chopsticks, a jug of water, and other necessities to wrangle your food to your plate. My table did a split on the bases, and got the spicy beef tallow and a mushroom soup base. The spicy base was great and it like all hot pots, became more flavorful as the evening went on. Great ventilation is a huge plus to the place, along with the aprons they give everyone, so your clothes don't end up a mess nor smell like they were part of the hot pot too. Meats were fresh and flavorful. There is a very limited selection of non-meat options (only a few veggies and other things like noodles) so be prepared for a lot of meat. I would recommend Nan for hot pot in SF if you're going with a larger group as the table sizes and portions felt very geared towards parties of 4+ and would be harder to do with fewer. The restaurant setup, small amenities they offer and food is great, but expect very minimal help from the staff when you dine. read more

I wouldn't return because when I was serving myself ice cream a staff pushed me to get through. I understand it was busy and they needed to go through but they should have said "excuse me" and I would have been happy to move. We asked around for a manager and no one attended us so we just left. For that reason I will not return and would warn others to re think their visit here. Food was pretty solid, we loved how spicy the broth was. Usually we order extra spicy but it's never spicy enough so we were happy that the broth was actually spicy. We arrived 6pm on a Sunday and got seated quickly but it did get busy after. Menu has a large array of choices and meats were pretty good quality but portion sizes were small for meat given the prices. read more

My friends and I wanted to try this place since it had pretty good ratings and nice interior. We came here for Wednesday dinner, and it was pretty busy. Luckily, we had a reservation so it didn't take long before we were able to be seated. You get to choose 3 soups and all the food items are à la carte. The potato noodles was one of our faves! So were the balls with pork filling! We order by scanning the QR code and submitting. It did take some time for them to bring the items when we send in the orders. The tea was also tasty! We didn't know what type of tea but it tasted like chrysanthemum. The self serve ice cream was also pretty cool, although, we couldn't distinguish the flavor. Something similar to soybean milk, perhaps? Overall, was a good experience! read more

The best part of this hot pot place is that they have excellent ventilation for their hot pots! Ahem. Anyway, the food was also excellent quality and the sauces were nice. My group was able to sit equitably from the pot, and I liked they provided an entire container of chopsticks because it meant we could get alternate chopsticks for raw foods. Also very limited cross contamination of the broths! Very impressed. read more

Food was great! Vegan broths were really tasty. Ordering was simple on the tablet and portion sizes were exactly what we had appetite for. Only thing is the wait time was estimated at 12 min- we ended up waiting almost 40 min for our table. Hope they're able to modify their wait time calculations to be more accurate soon. Aside from that, I'd absolutely go again. read more

Finally, an authentic modern hot pot in the city proper. Great vibes and decor. Super high quality meats and broth. It's an a la carte offering, not ayce, which may end a bit pricier but offers a much tastier experience. The beefs were tender and meaty, the fish was fresh and soft. They also have ice cream and bing fen included. Definitely will be back with a larger group to try more! read more

Well... I am a hot pot person, and I only do hotpot when I absolutely running out of choices what to eat.. I heard this place through social media, and I decide to try it out! I am obsessed with it! It is so so delicious yet addictive soup base, and the meat is fresh and selections is much more compared to other hotpot places. The service is okay. They check in time to time but as more people coming in, they would tend to forget to refill your soup. But once you ask them directly, they would refill right the way. read more

Overpriced, bad service, served everything hot out of plastic; even the soup spoons were plastic. Vegetables sold à la carte. You end up with way too much of one vegetable and not enough of what you want. Could not turn down the temperature of the broth. Soft serve ice cream was free but tasted terrible and has a weird yellow hue. I'm a big fan of hot pot and with so many excellent options in SF I'll never be back here. read more

Amazing hot pot experience! We had the American Kobe beef and lamb the meat was super fresh, tender, and full of flavor. The vegetables and seafood were fresh too, especially the bok choy, mushrooms, and prawns. My husband and I really enjoyed everything. Definitely worth visiting if you love hot pot (: read more

Food is awesome, the decoration is new and very authentic. Like the service and here!

I tried the newly opened hot pot restaurant today. I've always been a big fan of this brand in China. I'm so happy that they've opened a branch in San Francisco. The soup base was just right - not so thick that it overpowered the original flavors of the food. The spiciness and oiliness were also well balanced, not at all greasy. The beef was tender and very fresh. Especially the beef slices with Sichuan pepper were so delicious that I ordered three plates! I also tried boneless duck feet, eel shreds and duck liver. What really impressed me was that the bamboo fungus in the hot pot was so tasty. If I go near Chinatown again next time, I will definitely go there to eat again. read more

service was great, food was excellent, price was reasonable. Will be back next time in SF.

Excellent food, average service, great ambience. For some reason, we (family of 3) were being pushed to eat at the bar counter. We declined, and rightly so. I would have tried their hot pot, which I will do next time I visit. read more

Our family came to this place and expected a lot. The service was slow, and when we ordered the vegetable tray, it came was $14.98 for just 3 types of vegetables. The Kobe beef wasn't Kobe beef, and the lamb was basically just fat. Not worth it for the price. I wouldn't come here again. read more

Went there on Thursday for their Soft Opening with a few friends and had a great time! We had the fried rice made by the robot Chef and a bunch of fresh premium steak marinated with sichuan peppers! Chitlins, duck, eel, baby bamboo, dry Emperors veggie.etc. Everything tasted hella hearty and the broth was perfectly balanced. They had 4 waitress and 4 chefs so the service was on point right from the start! Our Server Ying constantly comes to Check on Yang! Made us feel like a VIP! The ambiance has a very modern and nostalgic vibe and the lights are very soothing to enhance our experience! I love their snack station with all the sauces we need to make our own! I was lucky to score a parking right across street Yeee! read more

They just did their remodel for the place. I don't know what it looked like before. However we went there today and usually I would probably give a 3-4 star review but decided to give them a 5 star since they are a small business just trying to make it. Well they charged 3.00 extra for using the sauce bar. I asked the waitress how much is it for the ice cream she said free. Which she should have said it's 3.00 extra per person. I can see Karen's coming after this restaurant for extra charges like that. I wouldn't have used the sauce bar if I knew it was an extra charges. They should have a sign say 3.00 extra per person. Now it put a bitter taste for me to decide if I should come back or not because the food actually was very good. So this review is warning everyone 3.00 per person for sauce bar. The sauce bar has oranges, strawberries, ice cream, and all the sauces for hot pot. It was good. Just more disappointed in management hiding fees. Why hide the fees? Just be up front and say sauce bar is extra 3.00 sign. So that's it. Food good. But not sure if it's worth all the extra charges since other places don't add that. Well that's just my review. read more
