Hot Pot Restaurants near Oakland, CA

“Had not been in about a decade. Traditional Korean food done right, with good service. It was packed on a Saturday night. Seafood pancake, tasty fresh banchan, beer, short rib rice stonepot, spicy seafood. Not horribly expensive. The spot for craving Korean.“

“This is in a busy part of Oakland so traffic and parking is a little hard, but there's always someone leaving so if you don't mind walking a bit, there are parking around. It's a nice walk with a lot to see. It was pretty empty on a Wednesday night so we were seated right away. There are 3 different QR codes to scan to look at the menu: lunch special, All you can eat, or a la cart. We opted for the a la cart menu this time around. Corncheese: I really enjoyed it. It's cheese. It's corn, you can't go wrong. I love the hint of sweetness you get. It was a small dish. Between 3 of us, we all had about 2 spoonfuls before it was done. Gyoza/potstickers/pan fried dumplings: these were ok. We've had better in other places, they were not as crispy as we had hoped. Texture was more steamed than pan fried. Garlic Bossam: I'm not sure what I was expecting from this dish but to me it was pretty good. It feeds 2-3 people. My friend didn't like it as much as a regular bossam. The garlic was a minced sauce that sat on top but it was sweet and not at all garlicky. We had to ask for cloves of garlic on the side that we thought it came with along with lettuce leaves to eat it with. Budae Stew: we all agreed on getting this and it's also a big dish that serves 2-3. Between the 3 of us, we still had leftovers to take home. It was a delicious soup with ramen noodles, spam, hotdogs and a bunch of tofu, different sorts of mushrooms, onions, and a slice of cheese on top. One of the better Budae's that I've had, it was a really comforting dish on a cold night. I recommend coming here if you like Korean food. They have a lot of options from all their menus and the dishes are good portion sizes. There are plenty to do around the area after or before dinner but be prepared to look for parking on side streets. It gets pretty busy.“

“I celebrated my birthday at Tastee Steam Kitchen with my family, and it was an absolute delight! The all-you-can-eat hotpot experience was top-notch, and to top it off, I got to enjoy it for free on my special day. The service was prompt, and the staff were incredibly accommodating. Located in Oakland Chinatown, this spot is a must-visit for anyone craving a delicious hotpot feast. Will be coming back soon!“

“I've been ordering at Marunouchi for the last few months and have been incredibly pleased. The fish cuts are premium and the bang for your buck is great. I ordered the tuna sashimi and it seemed to be the Toro cut (the bacon of the fish) which usually costs 3x the normal tuna price.For a quick snack I love the Ikura and side of rice. Can't beat caviar. I highly recommend it!“

“The oldest hotpot restaurant in San Francisco. Good food, supper broth, always great place for big groups.“

“On this cold atmospheric rainy day, I'm glad I scored a parking spot right outside otherwise I might given up on trying this place. I'm glad the parking gods were with me today. It gave me the chance to try their Thai beef boat noodle soup. Omg it was perfect. The broth was a flavorful deep sweet soy sauce based broth with earthy spice undertones. The thinly sliced beef was tender. The noodles were al dente with a nice chew. Perfection in a bite. They had cute condiments but I didn't need to use anything. It was super tasty as it is. Anytime I'm in Alameda I'll definitely stop by for some great Thai food. A cute sweet Thai family runs this place.“

“We initially tried to come here on a Friday at 7 PM but there seemed to be a long wait so we decided to check it out on a Wednesday and we only had to wait about 10-15 minutes for a table. This location was originally a Taco Bell, but I love the atmosphere there, friendly, good service and comforting food! It's a cozy place perfect for a cold wintry day to have your own little boiling hot pot of tasty broth and hubby and I thoroughly enjoyed our meals! Hubby ordered the Lau Pork Bone Marrow and I had the Lau Oxtail. I ordered the Oxtail without the tripe, just more oxtail! The hot pot came out boiling with oxtail and beef balls. All I had to do was cook the egg noodles, taro, tofu, cabbage, veggies into the soup as there was plenty of delicious oxtail and meat balls in the delicious broth! Great for a bone chilling night! Next time I'd love to try the shaken beef!“

“Good mix of old school and new school. And really good hot pot broth!!!“

“I'm almost reluctant to give this place a good review because it's a best kept secret. It gets busy but not overwhelmingly busy. And rightly so. It's a great restaurant with great food and great value. I guess try it yourself if you like hot pot, but please, for selfish reasons, don't make it explode on social media“

“The Hongkong style B.B.Q is so delicious“
