    Dipping sauce

    Still unchanged with excellent service and location. It is still a nice place for AYCE hot pot.

    Jonarose V.

    Not trying to sound weird, but I hate and love the fact I came here 2 weeks in a row. It's just convenient for me. Additionally, received the best service this time around. Almost feels like I'm home away from home when I want comfort food. If anyone does plan to come here, I'd say consider giving it a try for sure. Please be sure to ask for Nhi, Andy or Luat. They are currently the best of the best here.

    This has been on my bucket list for awhile since I first saw it in IG. Glad I finally got around to trying it! Ambiance: clean and modern feeling. There were both booth and counter-style seating. We were lucky to score a booth. It seemed like there was only a limited amount of them. Comfort experience may be different if I was sat next to a stranger or with limited room to place my food. Service: servers were attentive in clearing out empty plates. Took a little bit at times to get the attention of the waiter with the tablet to order more meat, but it wasn't long enough to get grumpy over. Food: The food available at the conveyor belt had a large variety. It ranged from staple ramen noodles to clams to the more exotic pork blood and tripe (I think there was also liver?). You are able to also order hot food via the server. The raw meat your order via the server tasted high quality, but portions were small and you're only able to order 4 per round. Dessert and side dishes also available via self-serve. The condiment bar was also a plus. Would recommend this place. Definitely a contender for my usual staple Seapot. Tom yum soup was a definite hit

    Move over Seapot! Revopot is here. I came with a friend on a weekday dinner around 7 PM because the restaurant sent a coupon to my home. It seems relatively new and has the concept of conveyor belt hotpot. we were seated immediately, but it gets extremely crowded on weekends. The service was incredible and the facilities were clean. I especially liked the self-serve bar where they had cucumber salad, kimchi jello cake, fruits, sauces, and even chicken feet! I've tried the Szechuan spicy broth and the Chinese herbal broth. I love spice, but the Szechuan broth did not hurt my stomach too much; I think it's manageable for people who prefer medium spice! The herbal broth smells like a Chinese medicine store; I enjoyed it as a good non-spicy option, but I know it's not some people's cup of tea. The selection of meats was good and they refilled quickly. You can also order appetizers for AYCE. The conveyor belt was clean, replenished often, and the servers were accessible to our needs. Their lunch deal is a steal at three plates of meat per person and unlimited conveyor belt usage for $23 per person. If you're not that hungry, go for this. All in all, I'm glad to have Revopot as a place to stay in this plaza. I'd recommend it!

    I've been coming to Revo about 3-4 times recently, and I'm honestly so happy I found this place. My first visit was great even though I didn't know what to expect. The second time was New Year's Eve, and they were really short staffed, but the employees were still incredibly kind. Hats off to David -- he's hardworking, humble, and always takes great care of us. Since then, I've been back a few more times. Recently I met Nghi, and she set us up so kindly. I enjoy chatting with the staff and even with the customers sitting next to us around the revolving hot pot area. It gives the place a friendly, community feel. I try to eat as clean as possible, so I stick to sliced shabu meats, lots of veggies, and non‑processed items from the revolving area and this place makes that easy. The soup bases have plenty of flavor, and there are lots of options. My favorites are tom yum, herbal, and mushroom. There are two sauce stations if you like to customize, plus a station with Asian desserts and appetizers. You can also order hot appetizers but I typically won't since it's all fried foods. I usually finish with 1-3 pieces of Asian jello, but they also have assorted fruits if you want something even lighter. Highly recommend this spot. Great people, great food, and something for everyone.

    New hotpot + bar restaurant next to ITea and Ross. Talk about flow state. Important notes: * There is automatic gratuity added for parties of 5 or more. * It is all you can eat (AYCE) for 1.5 hours. * There is a 10% surcharge applied for excessive leftovers. * Revopot special is $22.95 but only from Monday-Friday from 11am-3pm. (1 hour limit and has to be less than a party of 8) Came here with the fam with reservations for 1pm on a Sunday. However, we still had to wait about 20-30 minutes for seats to be available where the revolving bar is. Otherwise the booth seats were available. I love how there is an option where everyone can sit next to each other facing the revolving bar to grab their own things, but then you can't really talk to everyone because you would have to be across from each other. They also have a few booths if you want to sit with your family or friends facing eachother but then whoever is closest to the revolving bar has to grab all the hot pot items. I like the layout of their restaurant. When you first walk in there is a small lobby/ waiting area to check in and the bar is on the right with nice lots of seats. The lighting in there is quite yellow and they play up to date music. I love that they have a lot of options of side foods such as their table of stir fry noodles, fried chicken and some other fried item (fish possibly?). There is a another table with fruits and sides such as cucumber salad, chicken feet, kimchi, etc.. The sides were pretty good. The sauce bar is standard. You got your chili oil, ponzu, soy sauce, etc with cilantro, onions, and more. However, it seemed like they kind of dilute the sauces like their garlic, and chili oil a bit. I got the spicy mala soup and it was a standard spicy numbing hot soup. You also have the option to choose hot foods from the menu and I got crab Rangoons. Those were so below average so I do not recommend. As for meats we got premium pork belly, rib eye, brisket and lamb. They were all good and some came out frozen. The quality of the meats itself were just average compared to other hot pot places I've tried. They also put the meats on top of the glass screen on the revolving bar which I think is cool. It was fun for the whole family to all sit in front of the revolving bar. I was lucky enough to sit where all the foods were dispensed from so I was snatching up the enoki mushrooms. I wish they had bamboo shoots here and the wider glass noodles like at Seapot. The quail eggs were really good. They had a good amount of selections to choose from. The service was standard but the only thing that my family didn't like was that it took a while for someone to come back to order more meats. It honestly was random there would be a long wait time and then one server would come and then 5 minutes later another server would come to take another order. However, all the servers were polite and they would periodically come to help clear out empty trays because they stacked up a lot. Overall I recommend trying this place out once. It's a decent hotpot revolving bar restaurant. I think it has great potential if they work on the waiting times.

    Very interesting design. Everyone is essentially in bar seating style if tables are full. They place the meat platter above you on the glass which is interesting. The fried chicken was surprisingly so good LOL. So are their other appetizers. I really like the tomyum soup base as well. The service was also super good and attentive. We came in the evening and they were able to accommodate even though kitchen was gonna close soon. Definitely would come back some time!

    Revvving up the Revopot review!! This place was a hit with my friends! It left us feeling full with a heartiness in our stomachs! :3 So when you enter with a small group (3- 4 people) expect to be seated near a conveyor belt of an assortment of veggies, seafoods, noodles, etc to put in your pot! The meats are handled by the waiters- not too many meats to choose from but it definitely keeps it simple for people eating to not think about and just enjoy your hot pot! The meat is definitely thin.. and why would it be thick? You're heating it up in some good soup! Meats: brisket, lamb, pork belly, etc. What gives Revopot the appeal for me is that you can just add in your own veggies and works as you please, as the conveyor belt will keep "dishing" out more. (Get it?) Just be mindful as well with how close you are sitting with others- cus it does feel like you're sitting within elbow side of them, but focus on your food and your party, and it's all good! Also! They've got a food and sauce bar on the side of the restaurant. Eat up at the food bar and sauce it up! They've got tripe, chow fun noodles, cucumbers, and chicken feet- (at least when I went). I would definitely come here again for easy, no thinking, hot pot grubbing!

    The seasoning of the hotpot is very cater to Vietnamese taste especially the tom yum hot pot. Tomyum hotpot is the best soup that I have ever eaten.

    Out of many restaurants I've been to over my lifetime, Revopot ranks the top in terms of service and price/quality ratio. The staff is super attentive, friendly, and will make sure your requests are fulfilled. The pricing on the AYCE hot pot is IMO in the right spot. The red meat selection isn't anywhere extensive compared to Halidao, but you're also not paying for each individual serving. I really love their conveyor belt system where a lot of seafood / veggies / etc are constantly coming past you so you can just quickly add to your hot pot without calling for service. The sauce bar is really well-done; the sauces available that you can customize are really competitive with Halidao, and they also have a mini-buffet for things like chow mein, Thai-style flat noodles, egg rolls, and desserts too. I really love this place. It's one of the few places my wife has fond memories for and want to return to because the service is so good and the food / price is just *chef's kiss*. I do wish they had a Schezwan-spicy level broth. Would love some numbing peppers in my hot pot. The spicy mala broth is great but not it. If you want a significantly cheaper alternative to Halidao, Revopot is the place to go!

    Conveyor style hot pot place with 3 long conveyor belts. The first row seats parties of 4 while the 2 others are single seats around the conveyor belts. Decent quality meats and good soup base. Tasty cocktails as well from their bar area. 2 condiments stations filled with lots of sauces and spices. A desert bar with fruits and cookies. Pretty spacious store but will be sitting next to other parties on the conveyor belt. Wagyu was soft but inconsistent meat and fat ratio. Brisket and ribeye were solid for the price. Conveyor belts brought out different mushrooms, fish balls, seafoods, and other typical hot pot ingredients. Not much greens here though only saw 2 types. The fried food was crispy. Fried fresh but a bit oily and not much flavor. Would come back for the lunch deal they have for $20. Plenty of parking in this plaza. Service was decent and meat came out fairly quick.

    went here around 6:00 pm on a monday with my girlfriend, was not busy at all, probably just a couple parties there besides us. there is lots of parking and there is a waitlist if needed. the place is big and has bar like seating and also booth seating. there is a revolving belt with a bunch of hotpot items which is delicious but the only thing is that it is shared between sections so you might not be able to grab what you want if everybody wants the same thing. you have to get 4 meats per round, which is also a downside if you want one certain meat to try or so, but to make it worth it i do understand. they have a dessert bar and of course the condiments bar which is free to grab. for hot pot base: tom yum: super good, kind of spicy but really good. herbal: the aromatics were so good, kind of cinammony but pretty good. brisket, rib eye, beef belly: really good cuts of meat, kind of fatty but honestly not bad. overall this place is pretty worth it for the price especially if you go for lunch.

    Came here on a rainy Monday for dinner. It was still early so it was not crowded yet. There are a lot of tables, even for big groups, which is nice. Our group of 6 got seated when almost everyone arrived. It was still happy hour (M-F 5-7pm), which we got some discounted drinks. We ordered the broth, meats, and selected apps through the waiter. The rest of the sides/veggies are on a conveyor belt that you can grab. I got the tum yum broth and enjoyed it. It has a slight kick of heat, so if you cannot handle your spice, beware. Meats good, as well as the options on the conveyor belt. Overall, I enjoyed it. Nice ayce hotpot close to home. Would def come back. Service was good, they came and took away empty places quickly. Parking is easy, big lot.

PARKING: decent parking, it's around other places so it is in a lot but if it is a busy time it would be pretty hard to try and get a space. PLACE: fairly big, but not too big, would have to combine a few chairs and tables to accommodate to bigger parties, the sauces and everything are already on the table, so are the dishes as well. FOOD: We got the ultra, Tom Yum Tonkotsu & Shiro Miso Soymilk - Tom Yum tasted really good and it paired well with the meat, the Shiro Miso just tasted more like miso soup than actual soy milk mixed in. American Wagyu & Black Angus Beef Toro - I feel like the American Wagyu was a little too fatty for my liking, or it could be the other way around lol, I kind of don't remember which one was which but one had amazing marbling that melted in your mouth. We also got lychee beer, which was super good, didn't even taste like beer. We had like 3 glasses which is funny because we aren't drinkers but it was so delicious. I recommend any of their fruity beers. Edamame - don't really recommend, comes cold and some pieces were not really good.

Even though they aren't too far from me I hadn't heard of them before. It's an unassuming spot tucked into a shopping center next to a bagel and water shop, but it gets crowded, and for good reason. This was only my second time ever having hot pot, the first time was not AYCE and was an individual pot, so it was fun to try the shared AYCE way. We picked two broths, the Shrimp and signature, and then went down the menu selecting proteins and other add-ons. We went with the Ultra over the supreme so we could get some of the nicer cuts of meats. They have happy hour pricing of a few dollars off earlier in the evening, which was going on when we were in. Non-meat dd-on favorites included the Napa cabbage, kabocha squash, ramen, bok choy, and shitake mushrooms. We got the Enoki mushrooms the first round, but switched to shitake for round two and they were the favorite. My boyfriend's favorite meat was the wagyu, and I was partial to the pork and angus beef, but everything was good.

The salted egg yolk fried chicken wings were awesome. They come out looking super red, but they are not spicy. Great flavor, super good, and very yummy. The cumin lamb was excellent too. It had a little spice, but not too bad, and the lamb was really soft. The mapo tofu with pork was good, but very spicy. The tofu itself was good. The Sichuan high wok was tasty, but it got spicier and spicier the more I ate it, so just be ready for that. Honey walnut shrimp came out very crispy and the sauce was light. The flavor was not too bad, but the shrimp flavor did not come through as much. The Yunnan rice noodle soup with pork and pickled cabbage was good, and the soup itself had nice flavor, but I wish it had more meat. Beef and scallion dumplings were average. Sauteed greens were solid and definitely necessary to balance out the meal. Service was relatively quick, which was nice since we ordered a good amount of food. Everything came out at a good pace, and the meal felt easy overall. Nothing too fancy on the service side, but it got the job done. The inside feels like a big cafeteria. It is fine, but not really a place you go for ambiance. It was also a little hot inside, which made the spicy dishes feel even spicier. Overall, Home Eat is a good spot for flavorful Chinese food, especially if you like spicy dishes and salted egg yolk fried chicken wings.

It was cool that our server was able to accommodate my mom as she wanted the cheesy milk broth since it isn't offered on the AYCE menu.

Honestly, more people should be coming here because losing a dependable shabu spot like this would be deeply embarrassing for Cupertino as a whole. We ordered the Kobe and ribeye, and the large platter comfortably fed four people. The meat quality was solid, the broths were flavorful, and the whole experience had that comforting old-school shabu vibe that's getting harder to find these days. It may not be the trendiest hot pot spot in the Bay, but for value, quality, and satisfaction, One Pot Shabu quietly delivers. Definitely adding this back into the regular rotation.

    This is my favorite NON-AYCE hot pot place in the bay area. Sure it's expensive-ish (around…read more$50-70/person out the door) but their meat is freshly cut, marbled and just hits the spot. My go-to order is SUMO Premium American American Kobe with Traditional Seaweed (Konbu) soup. The American Kobe is much more marbled and tender than the more expensive Angus Prime Ribeye. Sure, the ribeye is a 'better' cut but its actually not as good for Shabu since the thin slices negates the need for the ribeye to be a tender cut. The Angus Prime Ribeye is generally and usually not as marbled as the Premium American Kobe Beef at this place. Regular/Large/Sumo is 5/8/11 oz if you are wonder, I asked.

    This restaurant is situated in a tiny plaza with not much else and the parking lot is very small. I…read morealways need to mentally prepare myself before I come here because the parking situation can be really difficult during their busier hours but honestly the food is worth the stress. The interior isn't anything fancy and it's a typical hole in the wall Asian restaurant but that's how you know the food is gonna be good. I'd also have to admit their service was lackluster back then but they've improved a whole lot since then. I only order two things when I come here and it's always the #38 Thai seafood hotpot which is tom yum based and the #1 banh khot. Their Thai seafood hotpot always hits and has stayed consistent throughout the years. It's a classic tom yum soup base with a variety of different items like fish balls with roe (loveeee), lobster balls, shrimp, mussels, and so much more. They did switch up their hotpot veggies though and it's a platter of lettuce and cabbage now whereas before they used to have crown daisy (which was so much better) but that's okay. As for their banh khot, this is my favorite place to get it. It's always so fresh! Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and the flavor is always on point. Definitely a worthy spot to visit if you haven't had the chance to stop by yet.

If you have the money then do a rideshare. The only upside is the hot pot is really good. The meat/veggies are bountiful. You definitely can get full. Like I said about the space and parking, it's small. It's not handicapped friendly unless you sit in the front but that's a tight squeeze. Would I come back here again? If I'm not driving and in the area, I would.

    Came here with a friend for dinner on a Tuesday evening for dinner. I put my name down on the…read morewaitlist and was seated within a few minutes. I asked for recommendations from the server. I ended up ordering the Thai hot pot and my friend ordered the curry milk. We both got mild spice- which was plenty for me! I also ordered the green tea with grapefruit and my friend got the wintergreen tea- we both asked for less ice and I got less sweetness. We enjoyed our food- it came out quickly once we ordered. The restaurant was bustling - but tables were turning over quickly. There was a busy hum. We enjoyed our food and the staff were busy, but kind and helpful

    I guess Boiling Point was just one of those places that had it's time in history and was just…read moreneglected. The people that work at this Boiling Point, although not as bad as the other locations, just don't care. Don't care really to take your order, bring you water, or take your money. I remember when Boiling Point was such an awesome and unique experience. It still is, but it's become much pricier and the staff just aren't hospitable and don't give a sh*t. Boiling point is more of a fast casual place and don't expect any more than that. Food is fine. But they tone the spicy down much more than before. I remember before when they started, medium spicy had a kick. Now, medium spicy doesn't even tingle anymore. Lame.
