No wonder the reviews are so good. Interior and service definitely reminded me of China, and everything tasted great. Definitely coming back! Pretty affordable: huge meat platter, cabbage, 3 color noodles, dipping sauce totaled to $35 per person, which was a satisfying amt for me Got pork bone broth and got constant constant refills. napkins are in a drawer in the table and free ice cream is offered. One thing that bothered me was that we weren't provided anything to cook the noodles in, had to ask for tongs, and only one ladle was there. you're expected to just use your own chopsticks to touch the meat and put in the soup..no no. read more

Chengdu Memory Hotpot - half fatty half lean beef, pork bone broth soup - Hot Pot Near Me - Fremont, California

First of all, Chengdu Memory Hotpot definitely knows how to take care of customers while they wait. They have little things like hair ties, nail polish, candy, etc. available in the waiting area, even more noticeable than Haidilao from my experience. The restaurant is a good size, and their sauce bar has a variety of condiments, toppings, and small appetizers. We came pretty late so some items were running low, but as soon as I mentioned it to the staff, they quickly refilled everything. You pick your broth first and then order proteins, carbs, veggies, and everything else through the iPad. Their famous meat wheel is definitely impressive, but honestly ALL the portions here are huge. We ordered one baby corn and I swear they brought out an entire can worth of baby corn lol. Everything we ordered tasted fresh and the presentation was on point. They also have some interesting items that I haven't seen at other hot pot places, which makes me want to come back and explore the menu more. Taste-wise, everything was good, but nothing particularly memorable for me yet. I feel like I need to try a few different soup bases before making my final judgment. Service was attentive throughout the meal, especially with regularly checking and refilling our broth. Sadly, we forgot to order their pink shaved ice. So I already have an excuse for a redemption visit. read more

Not sure why this place has such high rating, this is pretty bad compared to other hotpot places around. The soup base lacks flavor. Spicy has no depth. Server advised to order medium because it would be very spicy, but medium was not spicy or numbing at all. The tripe broth, again, lacks depth and flavor. The items are not very fresh and has poor quality. The sauce bar items also lack flavor. Only snowfungus dessert was good. Parking is limited since it shares the lot with Pings bistro. Street parking across the streets are available read more

I typically only like AYCE hot pot because I don't feel like I get a good value with à la carte. This was not the case for Chengdu. They have giant meat rings that were perfect for a group of four. They also have a sauce bar available for $2 but it is definitely worth the money. I also love that they have covers for all the sauces to ensure cleanliness. Not only is the food delicious but the service is top tier. The serves are well attentive and quickly bus the dishes. They offer complementary items in the waiting area for a more enjoyable before and after experience. read more

Left with good memories~ Dropped by for dinner Sunday ~6pm. Reservation is only for parties of 6 or more, but calling ahead, they were able to save a table for 5. The place wasn't too busy, until we began ordering. What we got: - 2 soup base (Chengdu classic spicy and pork bone broth) ~ you can customize the spice and oil level for the chengdu classic spicy soup base. We got light fat, which comes with a small block of tallow, that we took out prior to the broth boiling as the broth itself was plenty oily. - Lamb and Beef Meat Ring ~ Aesthetically pleasing and was a decent amount for 5 people. Paired with other items on/off the menu (ie: veggie platter, beef tripe, and beef tongue), we were well satisfied. - Beef tongue ~ THIS. Texturally was perfect. An item we ordered seconds for - Lemon Black tea ~ This was an all-you-can-drink item. Service was top-notch in consistently asking us if we needed a refill! We never had to ask for refills! The sauce bar was ~$3 per person, which included a variety of dry and wet seasonings, and side dishes. The highlight was the seasoned pork hock, which was kept well stocked on rotation! Although located in an awkward part, where the line would run long and into the middle of the restaurant, it was convenient for all. All in all, we had a great experience here! The meal also came with chocolate or vanilla ice cream! Highly recommend and would return!! Bonus: The waiting area had hair ties and other items that make the hot pot experience less cumbersome! read more

The meat quality wasn't amazing, but you get what you pay for and overall it's a great value. Really liked the setup too. They have all the little essentials for hotpot like floss, mouthwash, toothbrushes, fabric spray, and mints. Tomato and pork bone soup was a great combo. The tomato was super flavorful while the pork bone was more subtle and cozy. Goose intestines were unique and really good too. The snow fungus dessert and ice cream were such a good way to wrap up the meal. read more

I was really excited to try this place since it's fairly new and I LOVE hot pot! The menu was very impressive with a huge selection of meats, seafood, and other hot pot ingredients. I mainly came for the meat ring, and I think it was worth ordering. It's definitely enough to share between two people. The restaurant itself is clean with traditional Chinese decor. The ventilation was superb. I left without smelling like hot pot, which is always a plus. Even with every table cooking, the dining room never felt smoky or stuffy. Service and timing could use some work. Our soup base had been boiling for over 10 minutes before any of our ingredients arrived. I could tell the staff was busy, but it's hard not to get impatient watching the broth boil with nothing to cook. The sauce bar was disappointing. About half of the sauce ingredients were empty, and all of the snacks and side dishes were gone. I saw multiple tables, including ours, checking back several times hoping they would be restocked, but no luck. As for the food, it was just okay. The soup base wasn't as flavorful as I had hoped and some of the meat was a bit tough. I've been to other hot pot spots where the broth is so good that you barely need dipping sauce but that wasn't the case here. Overall, it wasn't a bad meal but I don't think it lived up to the hype. There are plenty of hot pot restaurants in the Bay Area that offer similar quality with better service and a smoother dining experience. I'll probably wait until things settle down before giving it another try. read more

Chengdu Memory is a newish place that opened up here in Fremont. Our friends all tried it with mixed reviews so i we (being lovers of hot pot) decided to give it a try, see if it fits our pallet. The parking situation still gets pretty full here during rush hour so come prepared. Seems most of the parking is split half and half, half for Chengdu Memory, half for Ping's Bistro. One party of 2 was before us 2, and the waiter asked if they wanted to share a table. They said no. For some reason, he didnt ask us if we wanted to share. He just led us to the same table and said we are sharing. I declined and pondered why the other group was asked while we were told... weird.. We were promised certain tables but it ended up getting mixed. I think they should just keep to letting patrons know how long the wait is, dont promise tables that go to others later. We got the spicy beef oil, tomato, and a pork bone stew. The soups individually didn't really wow me. In the midst of Happy Lamb, LiuYiShou, and HaidiLau, Chengdu memory's flavor seems a little lacking. What I ended up doing, was mixing a bowl of all 3 flavors and got a really delicious mix. I think separated, Spicy is just really spicy, Pork Bone is bland but creamy, Tomato was sour but more like vinegar. A bit disappointing, but maybe will try again, especially since we did not get a chance to try one of their specialties the Fish Maw Meats are thin and delicious. They also had a small but well stocked sauce bar. Some places have sides like chicken feet, the day we went was pork feet. Turned out really good when cooked in the soup for a bit. Over all the food was ok. Service was ok. Place is small and might ask you to share a table. Will try again soon, maybe next time will be better read more

I've been hearing so much about this place in Seattle especially from kelseyloves pho on tiktok that i wanted to try it my next visit to Seattle, but im so glad they had opened one here in the Bay Area. First walking in, we were warmly greeted by the staff and they asked if we have ever dined with them before. He showed us the amenities before seating, in which i took a hair tie to prepare for my feast. When we got seated, the server explained to us the menu and how to order and gave us a brief run down about the sauce bar which costs a little extra per person. The server also saw me take off my coat and placed it on the chair next to me, and he hurriedly came out with a coat cover and he said its so it won't smell for afterwards which i appreciate the gesture and tentativeness of the staff. We got the tum yum soup base and the pork soup. The tom yum was so flavorful and tart to my liking and the pork soup was on the more mild and clean broth. The beef and pork belly meats cut had good flavoring to them. Overall very excellent service and food! read more

Chengdu Memory Hotpot - Cover for jacket - Hot Pot Near Me - Fremont, California

Chengdu Memory Hotpot is so generous with their portions, and staff is helpful. We really enjoyed our time here and will be back. The meat ring is enough for 4 people, we were a party of 3 and struggled to finish, but we also got a ton of fish tofu. I also like that their menu is diverse so it's great for adventurous eaters. The sauce bar feels a little inconvenient because if they're busy the line can block a good portion of the restaurant. The sauce bar itself is kind of in a little corner compared to Din Tai Fung where there are multiple and is large enough to accommodate 2-3 people at a time. read more

Chengdu Memory Hotpot - Pork belly / Beef brisket ring - Hot Pot Near Me - Fremont, California

I first tried Chengdu memory in Seattle, and now that it's in the bay, decided to come back! I won't lie, the bay has a ton of delicious Chinese hot places, so the competition is quite high! So let's get into the deets For meat, we did half beef belly and half lean meat. I usually like leaner meat but for some reason, I like the beef belly here more than the lean one. The leaner cut was tougher than the belly, and you can tell the quality is just okay on the meats. Sauce bar: this is one of the better sauce bars compared to other Chinese hot pot, I love the side dishes like the pickled chicken feet and they offered a number of hot items like fried chicken! They also have a small dessert bar which was nice as well. Sides: we got enoki mushroom and greens and some noodles. This was def more than enough food and we weren't able to finish all the meat, but thankfully we were able to take the rest togo. Overall, it's not bad. Meat quality is okay, but the side dishes at the sauce bar are good. I like how they provide quality aprons so you don't splash all over yourself. Again, my Chinese hot pot standards are high, so this was just okay. read more

We stopped by for the late-night happy hour, which offers unlimited 50% off select meats Monday through Thursday after 9 p.m. Just look for the Happy Hour tab on the tablet ordering system. The beef was our favorite--it stayed juicy and flavorful throughout the meal. The pork belly was tasty but dried out pretty quickly, so next time we'll probably try the chicken instead. We also really enjoyed the unlimited sauce and dessert bar, which was a fun bonus. Overall, it's a great deal if you're craving late-night Korean BBQ! read more

Chengdu Memory Hotpot - Hot Pot Near Me - Fremont, California

- we came around 5:30pm and luckily found parking and were able to be seated very quickly, they even opened the door for us! Service was great right off bat - ordering is easy with a tablet, they suggest to order the soup base first so it has time to boil - both soups were fragrant and packed enough flavor to make each ingredient yummy (prices are pretty reasonable here as well!) - I loved the assortment for the snack bar, there were oranges, peanuts, cucumber, seaweed, pork trotters, chicken feet, and dessert soups - later on it gets super busy so the staff tend to be preoccupied, we had to remind multiple times for things we asked for but it's understandable with how much they need to juggle. Overall, we'll be back! read more

Chengdu Memory Hotpot is truly a hidden gem in Fremont! With so many hot pot places becoming increasingly expensive, it was refreshing to find a restaurant that offers great quality at such reasonable prices!! And it opens late which is also a great place for late night eats What really stood out was the exceptional service. I accidentally ordered a broth that was much spicier than I could handle, and the staff went above and beyond by manually removing the peppers to make it more enjoyable. Their attention to detail and willingness to help made a huge difference!! Another pleasant surprise was the unlimited free refills on both the milk tea and lemon iced tea -- a rare perk these days. Great food, fair prices, and outstanding service. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending it to friends! read more

Chengdu was comparable to Haidilao... in my eyes they are about the same price and quality wise. The few differences for me is that chengdu had more limited broth options and the order had WAY more meat! Decor was nice and clean and the ring of meat makes for great photos. Service was fast and attentive. We did have to wait for an hour (since the hype is real rn), but we really wanted to try a new hot pot place! I would come back - but wait for the trend to die down! read more

First time coming here after seeing all the tik tok videos and reviews on yelp/Google Maps. [[ Service ]] The service staff were super nice. They gave us the full tour of the restaurant (sauce bar, hair ties, bathroom) and then gave us a large overview of the menu and how to order. Very impressed. Thank you Hui and Yuan for the great service. [[ Restaurant ]] Very upscale feeling and gives the vibe of Haidilao if you've been there. It's a nice place for any occasion. [[ Food ]] We came during the lunch happy hour so 4 of the meats were half off. We also ordered their dessert to try out since they look so pretty. Some standouts: 1.) good portion sizes for the price 2.) very fresh tasting 3.) beautiful presentation I'll definitely be back :) read more

This place is very pretty. I give it to you one decoration. The check in area have areas to be seated and having a waitlist on Yelp is a plus. The food options are great. We ordered a handful of items for 4. And have plenty to go. Their drinks are unlimited for milk tea and lemon tea. The downside was probably the sauce bar. It doesn't have much of ponzu or other kind. The layout for it was a little hard to reach. Other than that. I'm happy to come back, probably will bring my parents! read more

Chengdu Memory Hotpot - Fatty beef and lean beef with herbal and sour fruit broth - Hot Pot Near Me - Fremont, California

Who doesn't love free goodies with a side of quality hot pot? Although I haven't been to another well known hot pot chain with a lot of amenities, Chengdu Memory takes the top spot on my list. Hair ties, aprons, mints, lens cleaner, toothbrushes, mouthwash, dog treats, and nail polish, they have it all to complement your meal experience! I came for the rings of meat and cute shaved ice dessert, and stayed for their yummy side dishes/sauce bar ($3/person but well worth it) and other typical hot pot ingredients (seafood, vegetables, noodles). Service was quick and friendly throughout the entire experience as they explained their iPad ordering system, and my group didn't even have a wait time on a Monday night! They also have some meat discounts depending on the time/day of the week, and overall I really enjoyed the presentation of everything. read more

No matter how much I age, I fear that I'll never be able to let go of hot pot because it's a part of me. Traditional Chinese Sichuan-style hot pot is my favorite, and Chengdu did not fall short. The restaurant seemed pretty small, but we got seated right away. To give you a better idea, I would say that Chengdu's dining experience is similar to our beloved Haidilao, but without the $$$ price tag. Chengdu is like Haidilao's little sister -- but better -- and they even give you aprons. The staff was very friendly and helpful since it was our first time dining there. We ordered the half-and-half broth with bone broth and spicy Sichuan-style broth. The meats were good quality, and we even got a free plate of meat by accident, but they let us keep it. I felt super bad because we came in right at last call from the kitchen, so we had to make our decisions quickly. I love the sauce bar, which allows you to customize your dipping sauce exactly the way you like it. My go-to combination is sesame sauce with a little bit of ponzu, lots of green onions, cilantro, and garlic. After stuffing our stomachs, it was time for dessert. We ordered the mango bingsoo, which looked and sounded good. HOWEVER, this was the only thing I wouldn't recommend ordering. The flavor tasted too artificial, and it ended up tasting like watered-down mango syrup with no fresh mangoes. The only thing I really enjoyed from the bingsoo was the popsicle it came with. The popsicle was rich and creamy with a subtle mango flavor. I took one for the team on this one, but despite the disappointing dessert, everything else was great. read more

Chengdu Memory has been on my list for a while and it did not disappoint. The interior is clean, modern, and feels a slight step above your typical hot pot spot. We went with a two-broth split of the Tom Yum and Herbal Pork, both of which were fantastic; the herbal pork in particular was deeply flavorful with all the bones and meat it was cooked with. Fair heads up that "mild spicy" still has a real kick, and the broth does run a bit oily even if you request less. The à la carte setup gives you a lot of flexibility across a huge menu, though it can add up quickly (including a $3 sauce bar charge per person). That said, service was attentive throughout, portions were generous (I especially dig the meet ring option) enough that we left with leftovers, and the little extras like aprons, complimentary snacks, and free drink refills really elevate the overall experience. read more

We made a reservation for a birthday dinner for 6 on a weekday afternoon and were excited to try for the ring of meat. The staff was attentive and friendly. Our server was eager to answer any questions. We ordered on the tablet provided and ended up getting some sides, beef/pork combo, wagyu, lamb, and chicken skewers. Our broth was the pork and tomato split. The slices of meat were rather thin and I perosonally didn't care for the skewers. The american wagyu was tender. There is a side bar which is $2.99 per person for unlimited refills. We only had 2 people at our table use this so we removed the other 4 from the charge at the end. They gave us complimentary ice cream of either vanilla or chocolate at the end. The waiting area has complimentary hair ties, lens cloth, and other miscellaneous items, which made it feel like a hotel lobby in a good way. There was also a little nail station to paint your nails as you wait. The staff seemed very welcoming and the set up was nice but the food fell flat for me. It doesn't seem as worth it as an AYCE hot pot. read more

Pros: Comfortable seating with good spacing between tables. Complimentary pig's feet and dessert were a nice touch. The shrimp paste was flavorful, and the fish was especially delicious.

Cons: The squid ink balls were a bit too hard, and the bamboo slices were overly fibrous.

By the time she finished cleaning up, our ice cream was already half melted. read more

Overall an enjoyable experience, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here. Comparable to the Seattle location, but the broth was saltier here. The meat ring was as beautiful as ever, but the quality of meat was okay. The meat was also cut a lot thinner, so the meat fell apart when picked up. Vegetables were fresh! I recommend the Cumin Lamb skewers too. Really delicious! The restaurant is really small, so I wouldn't recommend bring large parties here. However, it looks fun for birthdays! Desserts are miss here... I would not get those... read more

Went to Chengdu Memory for hot pot on a weeknight and overall had a really good experience! The restaurant itself is super cute inside; it has a modern meets traditional vibe with a more upscale feel than your average hot pot spot. Everything felt clean, and well put together. The food was good and the meat quality was solid. We ordered everything à la carte, which gives you flexibility, but it can definitely add up fast . One thing that caught me off guard was that they even charge $2.98 for the sauce bar which felt a little excessive considering most hot pot places includes it. That said, the staff was really attentive throughout the meal and service was smooth the whole. It was still a fun experience and I'd come back again for the atmosphere and quality. read more

Beautifully decorated and lots of complementary items, I grabbed a hair tie, hairs up and ready to feast. We ordered so many dishes and thanks to their side tables, we slowly devoured everything. We got their famous fish maw chicken soup, it was a hit and everyone loved it. Us big backs ordered 2 meat circles without knowing, oops.

I was super excited to try Chengdu Memory after hearing all about its glory from a food influencer in Seattle. Unfortunately, it was a let-down. After we got seated at our table, there was zero communication from anyone about how to order. There was a locked ipad on the cart that we had to rummage through to find the ordering platform. Also, not sure if it was correct, but the golden fish and chicken soup base was listed as $88 to get as a singular broth and over $50 as a secondary.. kind of absurd for just a soup base. Thus, we opted for the sichuan beef tallow + pork bone broth. The sichuan broth was good; no complaints. I wouldn't recommend getting the pork bone broth though as it tasted unusually porky -- like overboard. I noticed the same with the pork belly slices as well. I love taro so we decided to try the braised taro dish and did not like it. It just tasted like straight up mush with nonexistent taro flavor; we didn't finish it nor wanted to take it home. The meat platter ring does come with a good amount of meat at a fair value, but ultimately the quality does reflect the cost. Overall, I'd rather go elsewhere to get Sichuan hotpot. Perhaps it's better in Seattle? read more

Chengdu Memory Hotpot - Hot Pot Near Me - Fremont, California

When I showed this newly opened location to my friend in Seattle, he recommended I should go try it out! They first opened in Seattle before opening their second location in Fremont, and he said it was one of his favorite hot spot locations. So a couple of us local to the Bay came here one Sunday to try it out. They open at 12 pm, but I dropped my boyfriend off at the restaurant about 10-15 mins before opening while I picked up my friend nearby, as we worried about the lunch rush. When we came back just before 12 pm, there was already a sizeable crowd inside with no clear line formation. Fortunately, an employee did ask "Who arrived first?" and proceeded to seat people in a first come, first serve fashion. Ordering was done off the iPad on the table. We got a variety of meats, veggies, and noodles to share. The combo meat ring platters were reasonably priced & plenty of meat available to share! We're weak with spice, so we got the pork bone broth to share, which was really flavorful! Everything came out relatively quickly, and there was plenty of space to store extra plates, between the cart next to your table and the 2-tier stand on the table. The only key negative was the sauce bar. When everyone arrives & seats at roughly the same time, everyone will subsequently flock to the sauce bar at about the same time. As we were seated by the sauces, we easily saw the line creep up, eventually extending all the way to one of the walls of the shop. The sauce bar layout didn't allow multiple people to get sauce simultaneously, and people were standing in line for up to 10 mins just to get some sauce! We were offput by the line and thought it would die down in maybe 30 mins - this line perhaps stayed this long for almost hour since opening! Eeesh. The line did die down eventually, but at that point, we were pretty much done eating. Otherwise, the quality of the meats and veggies were very good. Definitely worth the money and the quality seemed as good as Haidilao, but at a fraction of the price! read more

Trendy new hotpot spot in Fremont!! Be prepared for a wait, but it's SO worth it. You can order items off the menu for a set portion of each--portion sizes are fairly generous. They even have a lean beef and lamb selection, which is perfect if you're looking to save a few calories. The presentation of some items is really impressive, like the meatball tower, raw fish, and skewers. I would also recommend the sweet potato glass noodles, fish tofu, and napa. Great selection of complimentary side dishes, like pork trotters and cucumber salad, as well as snack freebies in the waiting area. This is the most impressive hot pot restaurant I've been to!! Amazing experience here and will definitely be back. read more

Very authentic and spicy hot pot!!! We got the spiciest level of their signature tallow broth and it was full of flavor. Each ingredient was coated in a rich mala beef oil. I'd recommend the meat ring with half beef half lamb. I think it was around $25 but it was good enough for me and my parents. Of course we ordered some other side ingredients to fill us up. Overall, the broths here definitely stand out. The wait was ridiculous on a Saturday night. We waited about 90 minutes... Got there at 7:30 and started eating around 9PM. I DO NOT think it's worth that wait at all. If you like spicy & mala, this spot is a great authentic choice. The sauce bar was great and loaded up w side dishes as well. Great service; place was also huge!! So many knickknacks like hair ties, clothing spray, mouthwash, etc in the restaurant, which makes it reminiscent of Haidilao. read more

Chengdu Memory Hotpot - Broth - Hot Pot Near Me - Fremont, California

AMAZING SERVICE. We came here spontaneously on a Sunday night after randomly deciding that we wanted to get hotpot. We went to one place, but after learning they only allow 1-1.5 hour of dining, we decided to leave and come here. The freebies by the front desk while waiting to be seated was great! While we waited for about 15 minutes, there were a few snacks, and free hairties and dental flosses. Once we were seated, we decided to split our pot into two soups: pork bone broth, and tomato. Both were solid soups. For meat, we went for the keto beef and lamb. The giant ring of meat was enough for two people, especially with all the extras we got from the sauce/appetizer/dessert station. They charge extra for the sauce, appetizer, and dessert station, which didn't have a whole lot of selections, but it was worth the extra charge. I got to also enjoy chicken feet, pig trotters, and for dessert, the mung bean soup, eight treasure soup (with purple rice and red bean!), and snow fungus soup were fantastic offerings! They only opened a few weeks ago. We were so impressed with how courteous the staff was to us, the presentation of the food, and the beautiful and clean ambience with Chinese decor. read more
