THIS PLACE IS COMPLETE GARBAGE. Waited on the yelp waitlist for 1.5 hours and realized they didn't even bother using it, stuck 6th in line for the entire 90 minutes and eventually realized they're too stupid to work the software. THEN WHY OFFER YELP WAITLIST?! Saw a few other customers react the same way, pissed off when they realized they don't give a s about the wait list. This place nickel and dimes you for EVERYTHING. 99 CENT FOR SAUCE PER PERSON?! Check. $15 for soup base? Check. $9 for watermelon juice? Check. NO APOLOGY FOR MAKING YOU WAIT FOR 90 FOR NO REASON? CHECK. Have waiters talk s about you in mandarin while you eat and think you don't understand? CHECK. this place needs to clo...

Go with Liuyishou HotPot instead.Ordered through RICEPO, delivered with missing item, tiny soup base, frozen shrimp paste and pig brain (first time ever seen frozen shrimp paste and pig brain in my 30 years of hotpot eating experience). No dipping sauce.价格相似,但与刘一手存在较大差距没有蘸料。火锅底料无汤,量少(全份),超过一人食用不够。备餐少菜(通过RICEPO订餐,菜品款已退)。猪脑虾滑是冻死的硬块。Update: Went to Haidilao hotpot in the next day, cheaper but better (21% discount ordering through wechat). Haidilao's soup base was 2 times the price but had more than 8 times beef butter and 4 times soup base, which I had to split into 2 meals. Pig brain was fresh, so does shrimp paste. If you...

This restaurant offers high-quality meats and seafood with an all-you-can-eat hot pot option for $34 per person. However, be cautious when ordering meats, as the portions are quite large. Our top picks were the Kobe beef and lamb, while we weren't particularly fond of the pork belly, though we made an effort to try it to avoid being wasteful. We ordered two servings of Achoy and dipped it into a delicious blend of peanut and sesame sauce, which we highly recommend. We appreciated that the Achoy was served whole, with the stalks neatly cut for us. Who knew the stalks would be so intricate and flavorful? The Achoy stalks resemble celery but have a moist texture similar to cucumbers. Overall, A...

Do not order takeout from them or you will be ripped off. A small box of potato like shown in the photo will cost you $4, bean curd skin $5, lotus root $7 (DoorDash price, so minus $1 if you wish). I've never seen any takeout portion smaller than this. I suggest seapot or liuyishou if you crave hot pot and are in peninsula. Meat is reasonably priced but tastes meh. Book a table now

Such an authentic Szechuan hotpot spot! Just one thing if you plan to go there abd try, consider call them one day in advance to order the bear butter. It's not just cute, but soup flavor for that is very yummy too! Of course you gotta be able to handle spicy.

Easily my favorite hot pot place in Millbrae. They excel at the two essentials of hot pot: quality meat and soup base. Their spicy soup base steals the show, overflowing with chilis and peppercorns. Their mushroom and bone soups are also good.

Love it, this is one of my favourite hotpot places in the whole SF Bay Area!! Soup is so good. Better than 刘一手 in my opinion. My other personal favorite is 锦里缘 at South Bay.

The hot pot and BBQ ingredients were excellent. The spicy beef BBQ was particularly delicious. Everything was fresh, and the staff were very friendly. Book a table now
