    Food

    Decent but I found a hair in my hotpot which was unfortunate. This was my first time trying this place with my sister. We came on a Saturday around 8pm and it wasn't fully packed. We waited less than 10 minutes for a table. You can order on your phone by scanning the QR code at the table. You choose a set for however many people at your table and then choose the broth. Keep in mind some broths cost more than others especially if you're getting any of the spicy beef or Szechuan broths. I got the spicy beef oil broth and my sister got the tom yum broth. Then you order your meats, veggies, etc.. It says it's only two people table for each category of food but it was inconsistent. They would bring out more than 2 but then forgot to completely bring out an item. They also have a sauce bar and a side bar to get appetizers, more meat, veggies and noodles. They had chicken feet which I was really excited about but it tasted too soy saucey for my liking. However, they got bomb ass cucumber salad at the side bar! The sauce bar was decent and had majority of the things you need to make a good sauce. The food items we ordered to put inside out hot pot to cook were good. My spicy beef oil broth was pretty spicy for a medium level and they also bring out extra spicy oil for you. It's in the shape of Rick from Rick and Morty. Y'all when I saw the piece of hair in my hot pot I was devastated. I knew it wasn't my hair because my hair was much longer and my sisters hair is purple. That definitely ruined the experience for me and a reason why I'm giving a lower rating. I understand mistakes can happen but if it involves food there needs to be more caution and care. The staff there were nice and there was one person who constantly walked around and asked if we wanted more broth. There's quite a lot of seating inside and the lighting in there feels bright. My sister and I noticed how cold it was in there so I think they be blasting the AC. Overall, it was okay and a standard hot pot restaurant. I don't think I would come here again unless I was in the area and absolutely was craving it. Hopefully no more hair strands in anyone's hot pot.

    Authentic tallow soup. Beef and lamb were super fresh, thinly sliced. Total comfort food. Definitely coming back!

    As a Sichuan hot pot lover, I found the spicy beef oil broth here incredibly authentic. The moment you walk in, you're hit with that rich, mellow aroma of spicy beef oil, and it tastes every bit as good as it smells! I went with medium spicy, which was just right for me. The vegetables and meats were all very fresh, and the condiment bar had everything you could ask for. I'd happily give it a 4.6 out of 5. Highly recommended to anyone who loves hot pot!

    I went to Zhangfei for dinner one night and it was nothing special to me. I'll stick with Hai Di Lao that's nearby instead. Or go give Xifu Hot Pot a try next. My partner and I were excited to try the place but unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. The main issue was the non-existent service. It was our first time and they didn't do much explaining. Worse, there were items we constantly ordered but they never brought out. When we finally asked them about it, we were told they're sold out. Why didn't they let us know the first time we ordered it? It's poor customer service to not inform the table about sold out items. Additionally, they also don't check up on you like they don't ask how is everything or did we need anything. Checking in with the table is literally basic courtesy. The experience wasn't entirely bad. I really enjoyed their tom yum broth and the ambience and setting of the place is quite nice and cozy.

    Food: 5/5 Service: attentive Ambiance: loud and casual This is one of the best all you can eat hotpot spots in the Bay Area, the price includes an unlimited sauce bar. The meat quality was surprisingly impressive for AYCE, thinly sliced and very tender. They have a ton of broth options, and each one was packed with flavor. And this is the first hotpot spot I seen that has frog legs!! They taste similar to chicken but more juicy. it's a small add on, but totally worth it! Same with the squid legs, which were so fresh!!! Def coming back to try more stuff here!!

    FYI the $35 AYCE does NOT include soups and a majority of the menu, for example, if you want quail eggs that's an EXTRA charge.
    DH P.

    "AYCE" is incredibly misleading. FYI the $35 AYCE does NOT even include soups or majority of the menu, for example, if you even want quail eggs that's an EXTRA charge. If you want to spend $35 before tax and tip for just some meat and boiling water, be my guest. How utterly disappointing. I wish I did not come here on my birthday. Salad bar was gross and old/stale, and they didn't even bother refilling with even an hour before closing. Sauce bar was okay. Service was great though.

    3-Broth Pot (Extra Cost)

    AYCE hot pot is prettyyyyy good here! I loved the Pork Bone Broth! Rich in flavor and not too salty. Tomato broth was interestingly on the savory side! They have a large variety on the menu, but oddly you can only order a couple items at a time. FYI - $34.99 per person for dinner! 龍利魚片 Sole Fish Fillet and 肥牛 Beef Belly were my favorite protein options! Very tasty and everything came out pretty quickly after ordered via phone. (They provide wi-fi too). Sauce bar was fully stocked and the sides included cucumber salad, chicken feet, oranges, sesame balls, and more! Very fresh veggies here :D

    Supreme Lamb and beef belly
    Tina J.

    came here on a weekday during lunch around 12:30pm, and there was no wait. It is a fairly small restaurant so that explained why there's a wait during peak hours. When it comes to hot pot, my main focus is the broth. I'd say the broth is ok to me. Tomato was a bite too sour for me and pork bone broth is just bland. Noted that broths are extra, not included in the ayce price. Meats are high quality here. They have the best lamb I have had in the bay. beef belly was good too but if you are not a fan of fatty meat, it's a pass. Veggies are fresh Sauce bar and snack bar are decent. I liked and enjoyed their fried food as well that had a clean taste to it. (fried buns are extra) Overall, it's a nice hot pot place that i'd recommend to my family and friends. Will go back to try their dinner items.

    We came for dinner as we were wanting to try out some hot pot with family back in December. In short, fun experience to cook food and stuff yourself silly with the different meats and veggies. Just be careful about spice levels because although recommended is medium, it was painful. L O C A T I O N Zhangfei Hot Pot is located in Pacific Commons in the area on the side shops in the same plaza as Target. It's located on Pacific Commons Blvd. Parking can be found on the street or just park in the larger lot behind. I N S I D E There are a bunch of tables with vents which is nice, but you're still going to smell like food regardless. There's a station in the back for some veggies and other smaller items and the front has the sauces. M E N U I believe everything was online in terms of items you can order. So you just make sure you order at the right table. We were looking at the options for broth and there was a recommendation for medium spicy on the menu. What you don't know is that medium spicy is pretty painful. I like spice, but this was unbearable. We ended up scooping a bunch of the spiciness away as it wasn't enjoyable and asked if we could get more plain broth. But I think it was a bit too late when we asked because we definitely should've just asked to change immediately. We were a bit too proud to give up on the spiciness. All the other items were fine. Being able to cook and fish for the food out of the broth is a fun experience if you have maybe 4 people. More than that it's kind of hard with just one split broth container. S E R V I C E Things came out pretty fast and we got what we needed and easily paid. Everything else was pretty hands off and you basically grab utensils and sauces yourself. O V E R A L L I don't think hot pot is great past 4 people to be honest. Or make sure the people who know how to cook are in front of the bowls as it's really hard to do all the cooking and distributing with 7. Make sure you know what you're getting when you get medium spicy soup. Otherwise I would stick to their traditional broth that's not spicy. Trust me your bathroom and internal organs will be better off. I haven't done this kind of hot pot before so it was good to experience and now I know better for next time. I'm sure I'll update this review when/if we ever got back again. But for now it was just ok.

    The AYCE deal was great with lots of varieties & reasonable price. Service was friendly & reasonably quick. Con: the sauce station & the snack bar are smaller compared to other hot pots, there are no bibs provided

    Pork bone broth and mild spicy broth
    Deb W.

    We went mid week first thing as they opened. The place is clean. It's small and a little odd Feng shui with the sauce bar near the front door and the dessert bar right in front of the bar to pay. The bathroom has mouthwash in it which was interesting. Ordering was done all through the phone. The service was slow considering there were only 6 tables. There was only 1 server in the front and no idea if anyone is in the back. As for the food the broths were good and flavorful. The meat selection is limited but still good. I liked the lobster balls. The selection for dessert was limited. Considering it's the same price comparison to other nearby ACYE hotpot places that have a larger selection of meats and desserts, I don't think I will come back unless a friend wants to.

The group was 22 people. There is no reservation so one of us had to come at 4PM to be on the list for 6PM. The line is so long and people are patiently waiting for good food. The price on this special day is $35/person. Yes, it's a $900 meal. There are quite a few dishes for everyone to enjoy, the nice thing is every dish is actually tasty, not bland at all. I started with some sashimi, salmon, tuna and yellow tail. The rolls are soggy and not crunchy due to being out so long or the seaweed wraps not too crunchy. The chicken wings are my favorite, very hot and tasty. The oysters in sauce are great too. I'm sure there are something good for everyone regardless how picky they are. The hot and sour soup I like. The fruit and dessert bar has plenty of things to choose from. The ice cream station is crowded with kids and adults too. There's a cook to order station like in many Mongolian buffet, you choose your noodles, meats, seafood, veggies and they will stir fry for you which is excellent. There are clams, shrimps, snow crab legs which are gone very quickly but refilled fast too. Anyhow, for a few people the $35 is good if you all like these food, but for 20-22 people, $900 can order many excellent dishes in a good Chinese restaurant. We may not be back here for another fee years although the food is great the service is very attentive and fast.

Lots of tables available, place is clean. Won't dine here anymore. I like world gourmet because of the oysters and king crab legs on a regular weekday lunch for $19.99. Lesson learned, at least I tried them. Also, their chicken wings were kinda tasted old, not fresh. They have chicken feet but it had no taste and It was hard. They have a nice sushi section.

    LENT 2026: GOOD FRIDAY LUNCH…read more The first time I ate at Toro Sushi Stone Grill & Bar was the last Saturday of February for my mom's birthday. We had a private room for the party. Out of food that was served I really enjoyed eating the sashimi, which was presented on a platter. I also liked grilled salmon. During Lent I wanted to come back to Toro for lunch. I thought about getting sashimi or grilled salmon when I came back. A couple days before coming to Toro for Good Friday lunch I looked at the menu online. Why pay for the dishes I ate before? One of the dishes that intrigued me was the baked unagi fried rice. However the baked salmon fried rice sounded enticing. Also one of the appetizers sounded interesting was the sashimi pizza. My plan was to order an appetizer and an entree for Good Friday lunch. On Friday when I got a table I looked at the menu. The lunch special listed unagi don. Then I started thinking to myself. Why do I have to eat only fish on Fridays during Lent? Vegetables are permitted during Lent Fridays. I looked at the salad menu and one item intrigued me was the avocado salad. Instead of getting a sashimi pizza for an appetizer I choose avocado salad. Knowing a salad would not be filling I ordered the crispy salmon skin roll. For entree I ordered the unagi don. I'll start with the crispy salmon. A lot of people don't like to eat crispy skin of a fish. I love it. The crispy salmon skin roll is a filling roll due to the sauce, which adds flavor to the rice. Instead of a roll I would like to see crispy skin salmon as an appetizer as it would be similar to a chicharron. Regarding the avocado salad I liked how avocado wasn't skimpy in portion. There's one thing I don't like in salad and that is water. I understand cleaning the lettuce to get rid of the dirt, but the lettuce better be dry instead of water dripping at the bottom on the bowl. I came here for the unagi don. I felt I made a right decision of ordering the unagi don instead of the baked unagi fried rice. With the steamed rice I could taste the eel whereas the fried rice would've overpowered the eel. The unagi don was a filling dish and I believe if I ordered a baked unagi fried rice I would have felt bloated. On this last Friday during Lent I enjoyed my lunch at Toro Sushi Stone Grill and Bar. I liked the sashimi that was served for my mom's birthday party than what I ordered during Good Friday. I can see myself coming here again. Maybe next time I try the stone grill items.

For the AYCE sushi restaurant, it was good but not exactly mind-blowing. The fish and seafood variety didn't taste like the freshest quality, and after a while, a lot of the rolls started tasting the same. For around $45 AYCE, I personally think there are better options out there. Some of the skewers came out burnt. Takoyaki was 1/5, you can skip on taht. But that being said, the service was really good. The lady serving us was super friendly and attentive, and overall the staff was kind and welcoming. However, there was only one other table besides ours at the time, so I'm not sure how service would be during peak hours. Now the cafe side, I loved it. The vibe made me feel like I wasn't even in Hayward. The sandos were really good, and the matcha looked amazing. I'd definitely come back for the cafe experience alone. My biggest concern though is the elevator situation. It wasn't working during our visit, and I heard it hasn't been working for quite a while. It honestly made me wonder how elderly or mobility-impaired guests are supposed to dine there. That definitely seems like something that needs attention.
