Beautiful decorationsGood foodSlow service. The staff served us that day were not very pleasant. If they were more attentive we would tip them more. Maybe they had a bad day.
The food is waesome. We experienced new setting with beef on beautiful display.Drinks are not so good.Service is slow even thêre are not many customers at that time.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair can move around easily.
This is not Vegas, but the presentation felt like it! Xian Steam Pot & Yakiniku took over the old Gen building in Milpitas. You have two dining options - Steam Pot or Yakiniku. Although the Steam Pot looked really interesting, we opted for the good ol' Japanese BBQ. This is not your everyday kind of JBBQ, but more of a place to come to for big celebrations.Fuji 富士 - $199 (serves 2-3 people)• Australian Wagyu BMS9 Short Loin• US Wagyu Gold Line Kalbi• US Wagyu Beef Tongue• US Wagyu Sirloin Steak• Kalbi Short Rib w/ Bone• Kurobuta Tontoro• Australian Lobster Tail• Garlic Shrimp• Veggie Plate (seasonal)• Clay Pot Wagyu Rice (MY FAV!! Soooo good, definitely the winner)

Nice ambiance, good food and presentation. We ordered the $299 BBQ selection and they have the side dishes of rice inside the clay pot, soup and salad. There are different choices steam or BBQ selections and the price is good for the quality of the steak. Love the ventilation system here because my clothes won't get smell with food afterwards. Another note, they have service charge here apx 18% which can add up. Overall, we enjoyed it here.

First time trying steam pot and it was amazing! We opted to order only seafood and veggies after reading the reviews. 5 dishes for 2 people was plenty and we took a lot home. My favorite was the steamed oysters, garlic sea clam with vermicelli, razor clams, and surprisingly the napa cabbage. I would not recommend the steamed octopus as its pricey for something you can get at the market. I loved the concept of steaming your food, and loved watching everything cook. We also opted for the scallop mushroom porridge base and it was so flavorful at the end of the meal. The sauce bar was also a good idea as I ended up liking the sauce that I made more than the sauce that was provided. It was a really interesting concept and fun idea. Definitely a bit more of a splurge than an everyday dinner but would highly recommend trying! Service was extremely attentive and quick. The servers would come within 30 seconds when our food was ready to help us with the food and put on a new plate to cook. Food (seafood only): 5/5 Service: 5/5 Vibes: 5/5

We decided to give this place a try after seeing it on Instagram. We went around 4pm and got seated right away. The place is esthetic and the service was good! The meat was also delicious! The kanmuri was perfect for two people, but if you have a bigger appetite I recommend getting more.

Absolutely phenomena. The ambiance was AMAZING, I loved looking at the live animals in the tank. The food was delicious and I would have to say the steam pot is my favorite feature of the restaurant

The ambiance is nice. We chose to have the steam pot instead of the grilling. The food was bland. Thus, the array of sauces. We ordered steamed okra shrimp, grounded pork on lotus. I really liked the steamed scallop with vermicell, we also had ribs with pumpkin porridge base, which was good with a dash of soy sauce. The service was good. So we might just go back to try the grill part next time.

a cool concept and the only steam pot restaurant in the south bay as of 2024! the waitress was very prompt in checking on our table, bringing out our food, and refilling water. the live seafood is on the pricy side but very good; everything else is very reasonably priced.
Xian Steam Pot & Yakiniku offers an extraordinary Japanese BBQ experience that truly impressed me. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was inviting, with a cozy yet modern decor that set the stage for a memorable dining experience. The selection of meats and seafood for grilling was extensive and of top-notch quality, ensuring each bite was succulent and full of flavor. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, guiding us through the menu and providing excellent service throughout the meal. Whether you're a seasoned BBQ enthusiast or new to Japanese cuisine, Xian Steam Pot & Yakiniku is a must-visit destination for an unforgettable dining experience. Highly recommended!Dietary restrictions: I am allergic to garlic and they had everything prepared for me without garlic.
The service was excellent, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the food presentation was exciting. We came here to celebrate our anniversary.

Fresh food, good service, and fun ambient. It’s worth giving this place a try! Our party decided to go for the steam table since we never tried it before and it did not disappoint. There’s a specific steam menu and the server will set the food in the steamer for you. Everything was so fresh!
