    I came to the restaraunt that replaced one of my favorite bobas in cupertino. This area is very competitive and already has other claypot restaraunts so I hold any new place to a very high standard. Since it took over a boba store, I expected it to not have a lot of space, but it was decently spacious. There are lots of tables but the tables are a bit small. We could barely fit our claypots on the tables. You order with QR and service takes a while due to claypot nature of the restaraunt. we ordered 3 things: lava tofu, beef pickle claypot, and intestines claypot. Literally all 3 items were amazing. - celtuce is very soft and melts in your mouth. - meat is tender, and broth is very flavorful - tofu flavor was amazing. Not sure I could pinpoint it. Maybe some kind of egg? The portions were gigantic. We had to take it home, but it ended up lasting 3 meals. by far this was the best claypot we've had in the area. Hands down coming back again.

    Spicy Jelly Noodles
    Eunice T.

    Wow, the food here hit the spot. I was pleasantly surprised, but I might be biased because the dishes here are just what I normally prefer. It's hard to not give this place a 5 stars when all the dishes you try have your favorite ingredients done right. The intestine with celtuce = perfectly seasoned. Intestines were soft. Celtuce helps balance out the greasiness. It had the perfect hint of slight spice. My fiance really wanted to try the spicy jelly noodle, so we did. The sauce was pretty good - very vinegary, but surprisingly my fiance was okay with that (he usually doesn't like vinegar taste). The cold noodle in sesame sauce was pretty good. They premix it for you so you don't need to worry too much about spreading the sauce around. The sesame paste was a bit subtle, I personally would prefer more sesame paste, but I just scooped more of the sauce from the bottom of the dish and that helped satisfied some of that craving. Private parking lot, but it was surprisingly full considering that it's a new restaurant. (Or I'm just used to the empty Mr Sun parking lot)

    Spicy fish
    Serena L.

    Friendly dedicated staff!! Food looked super yummy however I was a little bit disappointed. One of my soup lacked flavor and in fact they admit that the chef forgot to add salt and they did offer to make a fresh new one which I declined. Still I would go back to try again just because I could tell everyone super nice and wanting to do the right thing.

    "Let's go to that place with the spicy fish and intestines..." "Shang Cafe?" "Yea, but I can't eat spicy tonight." *Face palm* Dining with peeps who can't eat spicy or think black pepper is "spicy"? XPP Claypot got 'em! Opening last month, XPP Claypot has been a hit with the local Cupertino community. It seems we were the only non-Mandarin speaking customers so you know this place is legit. Expect a wait during peak hours. We signed in at the kiosk and the wait was about 20 minutes on a Saturday evening around 6 pm. You'll receive a text when your table is ready. M E N U Sichuan-style claypot dishes with an extensive selection of non-spicy dishes. For some dishes, you can customize the salt level. Place your order via QR code. F O O D * Crispy Pork & Hand-Beaten Meatball Soup 酥肉手工丸子双拼 ($17.99): https://tinyurl.com/2tfwbe78 What makes this soup special is the texture contrast of the crispy pork and soft, bouncy meatballs. BUT, the crispy pork was mixed into the soup, rendering them unpleasantly soggy. Loved the meatballs tho...it had strong ginger essence. * Braised Pork Intestine w/ green peas 豌豆肥肠 ($19.99): https://tinyurl.com/bdyecxru Rich, meltingly soft and gelatinous pork intestines in a savory gravy. More aesthetics than anything but the peas were brownish green from overcooking. * Taro & Pork Bone Claypot 原味香芋排骨煲 ($21.99): https://tinyurl.com/238vavj3 Comforting homestyle dish with tender pork ribs with fluffy soft, nutty taro. The latter breaking down slightly creating a delicious, creamy broth. * Whole Tomato Braised Beef Brisket 一颗番茄牛腩 ($21.99): https://tinyurl.com/4n9ut547 Another homestyle dish, popular among many regions in China, this was my first time having it claypot form. While the beef brisket (rough flank) was tender, it tasted like it was braised separately and dumped into the tangy tomato broth. It was lacking a rich, slow-cooked flavor. * Crab Roe Tofu Pudding 金沙蟹黄豆花 ($17.99): https://tinyurl.com/4ka82tmk The final dish was THE standout that I wished I reserved more stomach space for. Soft, silky tofu cubes swimming in an incredibly savory, umami-rich crab roe and crab fat sauce. UGH, it was soooo good over steamed rice. GET THIS! S E R V I C E Friendly and prompt. Despite being packed, we received our entire order in about 20 minutes. A M B I A N C E Formerly Mr. Sun Tea, the remodeled space is sophisticated yet casual with 18-20 tables and warm earth tones. Hope they consider turning it down a notch or two as the lighting felt like you're spread eagle at your gyno's. Chinese rap playlist. When the weather is warmer, it will be nice to see tables placed in the front patio for outdoor dining. Overall, we enjoyed the comforting, homestyle claypot dishes and thought the value was there (plenty of leftovers). I had order envy with the burn your booty hole dishes on other tables - I'll be back for you, spicy duck claypot!

    Good food, nice variety of dishes. Food came a bit slow but everything had good flavor. Keep it up xppers

    Taro & Pork Rib Clay Pot
    Helen W.

    New claypot place in Cupertino. Huge potions and delicious food. We ordered 3 dishes for 2 people and had half of the food to take home. Everything comes in a clay pot which was super nice. Crab roe tofu pudding 5/5: so good, has a strong crab and roe taste, addicting! Taro and pork rib clay pot 3.5/5: the taro and soup were a really nice flavourful combination. Wish the meat quality was a bit better. The table next to us had a lot more taro; i think we would have liked that better (ours was mostly crumbled pieces). Spicy black duck clay pot 5/5: quite spicy as expected from a sichuan place, but delicious. So much flavor and duck was perfectly cooked. This was partner's favorite. Only annoyance is that they charge for rice.

    Huge fat attached
    Hao L.

    Environment is clean, clay pots do keep the temperature well. Service feel a bit slow. Portion is huge, flavor is better than homeeat, but has room to improve, for instance, the pork intestines I can only taste spicy but no spices. Huge chunk of fat still attached to the beef, which can be resolved by slow cooking or just chop it off.

    Saw a new Chinese restaurant opened up and decided to try it out. Flavors were pretty good. They have QR code scan for menu and order.

    Stewed pork belly
    Andy L.

    Food was hot, delicious, spicy and authentic. Definitely some food that needs some rice. We got the pork belly, spicy beef clay pot and a pickled beef. All were great!

    Iris Y.

    Very authentic Sichuan clay pot food! Great variety with both spicy and non-spicy options, so there's something for everyone. We ended up ordering a lot because they all looked so good! Our favorites were the pickled mustard fish stew, spicy black duck clay pot, and crab roe tofu pudding, super rich, bold flavors. Everything tasted comforting and legit. Definitely coming back again!

The combination of meat, veggies and the exterior crispy pancake created such an outstanding tasting effect. The lamb dish had one of the most tender meats I've tasted. The brown sugar sticky rice cake was soft inside and hard outside; with just the right amount of sweetness. Service was ok. They should've been kinder and more grateful.

There was no line for us to be seated. I was able to flag down a server to seat us since they seem to be extremely busy cleaning tables and servicing others. The hotpots are full of ingredients and the broth has always been tasty. Unfortunately, the meats seem to be overcooked. Prices have been going up over the years where only the monthly special is enticing for the value. Servers were friendly and checked in on us, but it took 25 minutes for our food to show up at our table after we ordered. The only consistent experience I've had are the oranges at the end of the meal. They are always amazingly sweet, juicy, and comes off the peel easily. I don't usually enjoy oranges, but I love the ones HomeEat offers! Will be back if in the area, but hope kitchen service will be quicker in the future.

I love their chicken and rice and their beef and rice, but my absolute favorite is the beef brisket with rice. I always get it extra spicy and add the bamboo. It is so good every time. The broccoli with garlic is also amazing and has become a must-order for me. The food is consistently flavorful, comforting, and satisfying. I often get takeout, and the food stays hot even an hour later when I get home. The staff is nice, the place is clean, and the vibe is casual. I come here so often because the food is reliable and always hits the spot. Highly recommend.

We had a party of three and had our pick of tables - there were maybe 2-4 other parties in the restaurant around 7 pm. We had just gone on a longish bike ride - and were definitely excited for food. There is a QR code on the table that you have to scan to order- unfortunately the app to order requests a lot of information and also requires your phone number and verification. The staff were incredibly slow given how empty the restaurant was. One member in our party had trouble ordering on the app. We also had a very long wait when we asked for to go boxes for our leftovers and when we asked to pay the check. In fact, my friend ended up eating the rest of his food because it took so long to get a box for leftovers. I ordered the boneless yellow braised chicken rice mild- the chicken came with skin on and jalapeños and a side bowl of rice. The food was simple and tasty. Overall, I would only go back if I were in the area and had a lot of time to wait/ wasn't in a hurry. The food was tasty and hearty and came out relatively quickly. The service was slow and we saw multiple staff members waiting around when we were trying to pay our check so we could leave and bike home before it got too dark. We tried requesting wait staff through the app, since they didn't come over when we waved- but that was also not successful. And after waiting for 10+ minutes we were able to get the check to pay. The food was good and I wouldn't be opposed to getting food or eating here again. I just wouldn't come here if I were short on time or in a rush. We were able to pay for Our items separately, since we each placed our order online- so that was nice and kept things simple within our group.

It is a bit of a dumpy place right next to a gas station, across from an empty strip mall shop area! We weren't even sure the restaurant was open when we got here. We were asked to pick any table - mostly booths. There's a QR code to scan and place your order. After peruse quite an array of items we picked the ma po tofu and the beef with onions. Service was minimal- we weren't even sure presented with 2 cups and a carafe of water to start. Our order arrived and we got a complimentary seaweed miso soup. Soup was quite good with real seaweed - not the dehydrated stuff in some Japanese restaurants. Surprisingly the food was delicious! The ma po tofu was very authentic. There's schezwan peppers or Mala in it but it was not overpowering that it numbs your tastebuds! The tofu was soft and silky. The beef had good flavor and balanced the meal out. Beef was tender. Overall we enjoyed our meal. Will definitely come back to try other dishes on the menu If you're not familiar with traditional Chinese entrees the menu can be quite daunting and a turn off. They definitely utilize all animal parts!

    I'm super surprised how good this restaurant is. In general I think Bay Area Chinese food sucks…read morecompared to SoCal and I often drive down to SoCal just because I miss more authentic Chinese food there. However I can honestly say this restaurant is just as good as the best Hunan/Sichuan food from the San Gabriel area. This used to be a different Sichuan dry pot restaurant that was so so and I really haven't gone back since the new one opened up. The name is also really misleading because many Taiwanese restaurant use Grandma as the name. As a foodie this restaurant is legit. It's in a small plaza shared with another Taiwanese restaurant so parking can be difficult but there are plenty of street parking right next to the restaurant. The interior is clean and well organized. The service is prompt and good enough. They ask for reviews but didn't promise some freebie for a semi fake 5 star review which is great. I never leave a good review just for a freebie because my integrity is way more expensive than freebies. The food is phenomenal and authentic in every way. The frogs are tender and the spices are not overwhelming and brings out the flavor of the frog meat just right. The cured pork (pig face meat) is very rare in the states. It's also cured properly to give the authentic hunan flavor. They also mix it with raddish slices which is also rare in most Chinese restaurants here in the states. Even the conch with bamboo shots surprised me in how thin the slices of the conches are. It's also flavored without being too spicy nor too salty. Everything is on point. I do wish they used better white rice but that alone is not enough for me to take off any stars. This is just a wonderful restaurant that's on par with my favorite hunan restaurant in San Gabriel and I'm so glad I found it because I'm sure going to go back every week now.
