How did I not know about this place sooner?! Everything was so delicious! This restaurant serves a really fun, modern take on Chinese cuisine. We didn't come for hot pot, so we ordered a few dishes to share along with some rice. Three dishes between the two of us, and everything was fantastic! The service was just as lovely as the food. The waitresses were super friendly, the menu was great, and even the other diners were warm and welcoming. In fact, the neighbors at the next table were celebrating a birthday and even shared some cake with us! I absolutely love this place. It's young, cool, lively, and fun, with delicious food and such a welcoming vibe. Definitely a spot I'm excited to come back to! read more

I made a reservation for 7:15pm but when I arrived, I was told there's a lot of people waiting and that I need to wait- ended up getting seated close to 8pm. I understand it's a popular restaurant but why allow for reservations if it doesn't matter anyway? The broth was good but I was severely judged for removing some of the beef tallow from the spicy side - worth it bc if I didn't I'd probably be in pain the next day. Overall, I still enjoyed hot pot broth, but what stood out is that the sauce bar was not only free, but it also had tofu dessert, ice cream, and brown sugar jelly! Some ingredients were better than others- the toro and beef tongue were really good, but I probably wouldn't order the black tofu and tender beef again. The vegetable basket came with green leaf lettuce which I found strange to be in hot pot. It also had so much pumpkin, but they took it away from our table before we could eat all of it. While I love hot pot and can eat it everyday of my life, I'm torn on whether I'd be returning to this place. Possibly if I'm in the Chinatown/north beach area but wouldn't go out of my way to come back. read more

We came as a group of five and ordered a split hot pot with Spicy Beef Tallow Broth and Mushroom Soup. We also ordered a bunch of beef, pork, lamb, and other hot pot ingredients to share. Everything tasted good, and the ingredients were fresh. The spicy broth was especially flavorful with a nice level of heat, while the mushroom broth was a great balance. The only downside was that, for the price, I felt the meat portions were a bit small. read more

Cool spot with very characteristic styling. I love the soft light wooden tones, tables are spacious for all the food and you can order through the tablet. They have 1, 2, 3 and even 4 broth pots! So you can try a wide variety of broths in a single visit. Food was good, ingredients are fresh. I didn't have the courage to try the Chongqing spicy broth, but now I feel I might have missed on it, especially with the 4 broth option! Definitely a nice spot. read more

Nan Hot Pot delivers a premium hot pot experience with high-quality ingredients and beautiful presentation. The wagyu beef was incredibly tender, and the three-way broth offered a great balance of spicy Sichuan, green pepper broth and tomato soup! The menu features a wide variety of meats, seafood, vegetables, and handmade items, all served fresh. Service was attentive, the restaurant was clean and modern, and the overall dining experience felt upscale. It's on the pricier side, but well worth it for the quality and presentation. I'd definitely come back. read more

The restaurant is so authentic. Feels right like getting hotpot in China. Super spacious and quick with all the orders. I also found all the ingredients very fresh I highly recommend getting the A5 toro. It's not expensive and super yummy. They also have self serve desserts and sauces that are delectable. Only way to make it better is to have an all you can eat option so we can try a bit of everything read more

This is à la carte where you choose different broth options , you can go up to 3 broths! I can't handle spicy , so I chose a non-spicy option I love the variety of hotpot options where you can order directly from the tablet! There's a sauce bar to make your own sauce and they have small appetizer options (which is spicy btw) There's a soft serve machine to balance your taste buds after eating hotpot~ read more

Nan hot pot is an elite hot pot experience. They have a great selection of authentic cuts of meat to choose from that you can't find elsewhere in SF. Their broth is also unbelievable. We got the spicy one and tomato one - both were incredibly pungent and delicious. The best part about the meal is the free ice cream after! A great idea for a cool down after a steamy and hot meal. read more

Came across Nan Hot Pot while walking around Chinatown today and decided to give it a try. So glad we did! We got the spicy beef tallow broth and fish maw chicken broth, and both were AMAZING. The beef was super fresh, the broths were flavorful, and everything tasted really high quality. The restaurant is clean and has a great atmosphere. And don't skip the Mango Pomelo Snowflake Ice -- SO good! Such a great find in Chinatown. Definitely coming back and highly recommend! 10/10! read more

I was a bit hesitant about this place because a lot of the Google and Yelp reviews look like they're from fake/burner accounts, but I can confirm that Nan is a good option for hot pot in an area with very few options. We were a party of 3 and came at 5pm on a Thurday There was no one in the restaurant when we arrived, but around 1-1.5 hours later the place was pretty packed and boisterous. We ordered the two flavor hot pot with tomato and hot and sour soup, along with a modest selection of meats, noodles, veggies, and fish balls. I was worried that it wouldn't be enough food, but I ended up leaving super stuffed. For +$3, you can use the sauce bar and also munch on appetizers there like seaweed knots and what looked like preserved veggies, plus desserts like tofu pudding, soft serve, and fruit. I don't normally like tomato soup for hot pot as it can be too ketchup-y and sweet, but this tomato broth was actually quite savory and tasty, probably the best tomato broth I've had. The meats and everything else were pretty standard, and portions were not big but not tiny either. We ended up spending about $35pp after tax and tip, which felt reasonable. The restaurant itself looks very nice and clean, and the workers are very prompt with refilling the broth when it gets low. Overall this is a really welcome addition to the area and I hope it encourages other hot pot restaurants to open in the area! read more

What is super fun find nearby our hotel in San Francisco! From the photos on, it really wasn't expecting much but this place had a really cool vibe. We made a reservation before we left using Yelp's waitlist and that was a lifesaver. They had a table ready as soon as we walked in, but it was right near our window and there were some stuff going on outside, but we just weren't too keen on so the staff happily allowed us to give the table to someone waiting and wait for the next available. We opted for the three flavor hot pot so we could try three bases. Our favor ended up being the hot one of course, but then the second was the tomato soup base which was kind of surprising. The menu has a lot of different offerings, but many of them are extremely authentic and traditional, which could be difficult for the uninitiated hot pot goer. I would say this is definitely in advanced hot pot restaurant while we did enjoy ourselves we found the selection is a bit limited for our more Americanized palette. Typically I'm quite adventurous, but we're talking some deep cuts of offal that while I've seen before, are simply not my style. That said they do also have an entire list of house marinated meats, most of which are very spicy. And they also offer richer cuts like Wagyu too. The style of service is kinda cool. The rock preparations come from the kitchen and they put them on a multitiered cart at this side of your table. This way you can bring them onto the table as you're ready for them and add them to the hot pot in the order you'd like to enjoy. Unfortunately, the house specialty chili beef that we ordered ended up on a second tier of the shelf and we did not even see it come to the table so we did not get to enjoy that. We didn't even realize it was there until we all got up and paid the bill and the server said oh what about this? Fortunately they were quick to remove it from the bill realizing what it happened and apologize for the situation entirely, which we thought was very nice. I really enjoyed the sauce bar, which had a few different recipes shown for based on regional preferences for these dipping sauces. They also offered a few different cold salads and palette cleansers that could go with your meal too. At the end of the meal, there's also a frozen yogurt machine. That's by design because by the end of eating hot pot you were sweating from ear to ear and you will need something like that to cool off your mouth and everything inside if you've done things right. I would happily revisit this restaurant again with pro tip bring lots of people. read more

After making it back to the city, I was really craving hot pot. I was stuck between my favorite, Tasty Pot, and Nan Hot Pot. I decided to try something new and it was closer to my hotel. The first time I tried to visit the restaurant they were beyond packed and although the waitlist claimed 2-12 minute wait time, I knew it was going to be longer. I left but returned the next day for lunch and joined the waitlist again. My first notice: the restaurant completely ignored the waitlist. My party and another single diner were waiting to be seated--I was listed as next to be seated. Another woman and her children were sat before both of us. The restaurant itself isn't super small nor huge in size and seating. After about 15 minutes, both my party and the single patron were sat. I arrived at the table and it wasn't necessarily cleaned after the previous diners. The meat was good but the portions were smaller than other places I've frequented in the city. After finishing the meal, I realized less than an hour later that it did not agree with me and my partners stomach. This was the only thing we had eaten. We were both unwell well into the night and into the next day. Next time I'll stick to my favorite or head to Clement for Shabu Club. This was not worth it. read more

Nan Hot Pot SF - Szechuan Near Me - San Francisco, California

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

Very good food! Fresh, authentic. Good service, nice staff, same as in mainland China. The sliced meat was thin and tender, and the vegetables were very fresh. The broth was rich and flavorful without being too salty. Lots of choices at the sauce bar, so you can mix your own dipping sauce. Portions are generous and the price is fair for the quality. It feels like real hot pot from home. Great spot for friends or family. Will definitely come back! 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

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

Excited to have another authentic Chinese hot pot option in this part of town! The broths and selection of items were excellent, the newly renovated interior was clean and modern, and the sauce bar was great, too. Everything is à la carte (no AYCE option) and the total for two, including tax and tip was around $120 so more expensive than the Hotpot Champ AYCE option down the street. The meat portions were tiny and quite expensive, and the lamb was not the highest quality - otherwise I would have given it 5 stars. The short rib was fantastic though. 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

This review is strictly about the management--or perhaps the lack of it. Apparently, a "reservation" here is more of a fun suggestion than an actual reservation. I made a reservation, showed up on time, and then waited 30 + minutes for a table. So what exactly is the point of taking reservations if you can't actually keep the reservations? Completely disorganized and poorly managed. Based on this experience, I absolutely cannot recommend this place. 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
