    I've come here a couple times now, and I believe it's worth it. There's often a wait around popular times, and it can take awhile since they have to cook the clay pots to order. I usually get the salty fish and eggplant pot here since I can't find salty fish rice dishes too often. They provide soy sauce at the tables so you can season dishes to your preference. For appetizers, my favorite is the pig ears which are not too spicy (I am weak, so you can trust me). The dumplings are okay but nothing to write home about. Service is as you'd expect. They are very good at keeping your water cup filled though!

    I came here for lunch and got their Salted Fish, Chicken and Eggplant Claypot Rice. It was pretty busy. You order via a QR code. The food here takes some time to make, not too long, but there is a wait since they make the claypot rice dish fresh. Anywho, I was surprised to see that by ordering the claypot rice a complementary bowl of soup came too. The soup was nice - some seaweed, egg ribbons and pork. The claypot rice itself without their seasoning sauce is a bit bland but that's why you season it to your liking. The eggplant was cooked well, with pieces of salted fish and chicken. The rice was fine, I liked the crispiness of the bottom. There wasn't anything too special about this claypot rice, I just think it's okay coming from someone who is cantonese. However, happy to see that there is a claypot place in San Jose.

    I came here because I was hungry and saw the words the drew me in. "Clay pot" I entered and was immediately seated despite it being crowded. Ordering was made easy with the QR code being there for the electronic menu. I tried a unique sugarcane juice that had a lot of medicinal herbs which gave it a unique taste. I was really surprised that soup was part of the meal. Many places would skip soup to save money. The clay pot rice was the main event. It did come in a clay pot and was still sizzling as it came to my table. The chicken was so tender and the mushrooms were very juicy. The rice towards the end had become crispy. The portions were huge. The only unfortunate thing was the lack of a sauce. I'm very used to clay pot rice restaurants having a sauce that could seep towards the bottom with the crispy rice. I had to use soy sauce. The service was wonderful, and I'd definitely come back because there were other items I was eyeing. I didn't even have appetizers!

    BZZ Clay Pot is one of the few places in San Jose that offers clay pot dishes. The shop itself is located in a busy asian plaza. Parking is widely available but you may need to park a little further. All dishes come out burning hot! They provide container bowls to prevent people from burning themselves. Staff will refill water and clean up quickly. Ordering is all done via QR code on mobile phones. Claypot rice with beef and egg has juicy beef pieces with a egg on top. Claypot rice with mushroom and chicken has large pieces of tender chicken with shiitake mushroom. Both come with vegetable greens. The rice does stick to the bowl if you leave it in too long since its hot! I also ordered from Fantuan for takeout and it comes in a clay pot! If you return 8 clay pots, they'll give you a meal free. Will definitely be back. BZZ Clay Pot definitely hits the spot if you have a craving for a hot rice dish.

    Came back again for another amazing meal! Clay pot is always freshly made. It does take 20 min to cook, so be ready. Highly recommend getting their lemon tea while waiting lol it's pretty good. I was able to adjust sweetness by talking to a staff. But another staff told me they cannot do so in my other visit. Staff are very nice and helpful. Again, you can ask them to make adjustment. It's a small restaurant in the ranch 99 plaza. Prefect place for a casual meal.

    If you are here for the salty fish, skip it cos it's not the type that you get in Hong Kong, it's completely different. I usually get the dim sum here, siu mai and chicken feet are overcooked and mushy but the taste is ok. The pan fried chive dumpling is also ok.

    Traditional Guangdong clay pot place -- delicious fast food choice. Convenient location inside Cupertino village. Clean and neat table and bench seatings. Like those posters around the walls, really tempting photos. The food served right after ordering. The food is very kids friendly, good texture rice, well seasoned toppings and house made special sauce. Kids like it so much and they feed themselves:). Extra points to the waitress on filling water fast and waited and returned the credit card that I lost in her restaurant. Recommended for clay pot and soup lovers.

    I ordered the Mushroom and Chicken Clay Pot, and this has been one of the better clay pot places that I have visited. The rice has a nice crispy bottom, good flavor, and it was not too oily. The ingredients were well cooked as well. The service was fast with ordering through a QR code. The ambiance is very chill with good food.

    Really solid place for lunch. We ordered fried shrimp, sautéed lettuce, and 3 clay pot rice -- chicken & mushrooms, Chinese sausage snd bacon, and pork spare ribs . The chicken and mushroom was especially delicious where the chicken was tender and flavorful. The Chinese bacon was sliced nice and thin. The pork spare ribs was also very tender . They have a "secret clay pot sauce" that is delicious with the rice, The egg yolk fried shrimp was crispy but lacked flavor. Overall a great value.

    Came here for lunch on a weekday and it was pretty quiet here! Staff are very friendly and won't rush you to order. Ordering can be done with staff or using QR code service on the table. Lots of booth seating available! They provided a complimentary egg drop and seaweed soup which felt light and cozy before digging into the clay pot dishes. FOOD: - Chicken clay pot: Loved how tender the chicken was, but wish there was more meat considering the rice ratio. If you don't mind the rice, there is soy sauce on the side. Just an FYI the rice on the bottom hardens a bit, but not to the point where it get crunchy. Probably just a different take on this dish, though, since different regions in China have their own preferences. :) PARKING: The plaza gets busy during lunch hour, so I'd dine-in right before then.

    BZZ Clay Pot Excellent delicately prepared clay pot rice bowls with perfectly prepared rice and meats/veggies. Each item is cooked on demand so you need to be patient and wait about 15-18 minutes for your claypot to cook after you submit your order (in person or via QR code/smartphone.) What's Here: Step inside and you'll find a brightly lit modern Mainland China vibe with LED logos and big food signage on the walls. It's as if this entire restaurant was imported direct from Guangzhou! Courteous unobtrusive service. My choice: Chicken & Mushroom Clay Pot - with this dish, I opted for a few chunks of salted fish ($3 extra) to really bring the flavors through.. The chicken was so very moist and tender and the rice was perfectly cooked from top to the best part - the crunchy crusty toasty rice at the bottom of the pot. To be absolutely perfect, i'd love for the rice to be even 5-8% more brown, but it was a nice light brown crust already. The veggies were fresh, on point and not overcooked. The soy sauce marinade that you add on yourself is neutral enough not to overly salt your rice. Verdict ? 4.9/5 - arguably head and shoulders better than a famous clay pot place we tried in HK a few weeks back. I didn't expect that.. Pro tip: If you don't see the exact combo of meats/veggies on the menu for your claypot, just select one style, and a submenu will come up which will allow you to add on other meats/veggies/toppings as you wish.. or just ask the waitstaff for something more specific. Battery dead on your phone? No problem! They have paper menus with pictures too.. Verdict: Good stuff here! I'll definitely be back!

    Came in on Saturday night and there was a bit of a wait. It's located in the very busy Cupertino Village, so makes sense that Saturday night would be a popular time to visit. The restaurant was bright, clean, and modern. We ordered the classic signature lap mei rice clay pot, the salted fish and eggplant rice clay pot, and a side of Chinese broccoli in oyster sauce. The clay pots were both delicious, comforting, and nostalgic. Once you add the soy sauce and some chili oil on top, it's truly chef's kiss. I actually ended up liking the eggplant pot more since I think the eggplant was probably fried, so the rice really soaked up the oil in the pot and made things super flavorful and glossy. The Chinese broccoli was standard and a way to get our veggies in for the meal. Overall satisfied with the meal and would definitely recommend!

    Second visit and even my American stomach kid approved. The wait in weekend is getting long, so try to avoid the rush hours. They have a paper and pen sign up system but their tables are mostly for 2-4 seaters, which makes accommodating large parties difficult. I see a lot of people doing take out and it may be worth trying that next time. The only benefit of eating in the store is they have these drink and clay pot sets, but this time when we came they were all sold out. Sad. We tried the signature sausage and cured meat clay pot rice. As always, the soul of a clay pot rice is the added soy sauce. I think their soy sauce is ok, not wow, but does the job. The sausages are flavorful and they are generous in portions. The special spare ribs are premarinated and flavorful. Each clay pot comes with 3 pieces of veggie, if it's not enough, you can add a side for 3 bucks which is good value. The restaurant is doing a promotion that if you prepay a minimum of $300, they give you an extra $50 on the account. You can use it in 3 restaurants and anything can be applied to it including tax and tips. You just need to place the order directly with the restaurants including Ming's and Local Cafe, DoorDash/Uber Eat etc apps are excluded. Service is fine, you can freely ask them questions and they are quite attentive to customers.

Had a great experience prior to this with a friend so I wanted to bring my mom to try. My experience from the service however was a little uncomfortable. When I went with my mom there was no customers. The server seated us at the bench closest to the wall (the table was pushed into the bench against the wall so we had to move it.) Apparently a lot of the legs on some of the tables and benches are wobbly so they put things under to balance it. The servers told us to move it back under the table since we pushed the table out to sit into the bench. My mom is older and she has a hard time walking, she asked to switch to another table where the benches and tables were already spaced out properly because it is hard for her to bend down and move the things under the table legs. The server gave my mom an attitude and asked why two people couldn't fit into our current table.

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!
