The portions are also incredibly generous. I was honestly full about a third of the way through my meal, and there was still so much food left. It tasted so good that I kept eating anyway and probably made it through 60-65% of it before I finally had to admit defeat. The broth was rich, flavorful, spicy, and deeply satisfying. Everything tasted so well balanced, and I genuinely did not want to stop eating. I also really want to shout out Amy, Christine, and Andy. They were all incredibly kind and welcoming and made an already wonderful meal even better. The service was warm, attentive, and just made us feel really taken care of. If you're deciding between here and Boiling Point, I would genuinely come here. I love Boiling Point, so that is not faint praise. This was just on another level for me. Absolutely coming back. 9.5/10.

I thought they added a bit too much anise spice but other than that, it's delicious. They have all the major meats available like rib eye, flank steak, pork belly, beef belly, lamb, and more. They have lots of appetizers to choose from in which our favorite is their crispy fried chicken. This side dish is so good and pairs great with regular rice with broth. They have a sauce bar for condiments and a fruit bar for sweet treats. The employees are quick on their feet and do frequently check-in with tables for refills and more. I'm a huge fan of Revopot and will definitely come back again for more!

The concept of an AYCE conveyer belt hot-pot spot is really fun and unique, and I definitely…read moreenjoyed my experience. Dinner & weekends are ~$36, with weekday lunches being cheaper; I find that this is about the same as or cheaper than what I would pay at an à la carte-style spot. Parking was really easy, as it's in a massive plaza with plenty of parking. I thought the interior alright; it was pleasant but not notably nice. The service was quite good--our orders came out quickly, our empty bowls were cleared fast, and we never had trouble getting their attention. They have a decent selection of hot pot broths, with individual pots for each customer. Their sauce bar is pretty standard, and they have a little dessert bar also. I found the desserts a little lacking (though they had mango sago, which was fun), but there is a decent amount of fresh fruit (mostly melons). They have a menu with fried appetizers & main proteins--the selection is on the smaller side, but I think it is sufficient. The fun part is the conveyer belt! They have all the sides you would normally expect--spinach, cabbage, several types of mushrooms, noodles, rice cakes, seafood, and the like. Everything on the belt is refilled really quickly, so I never felt like I was waiting too long for any item. Ultimately, I will say that I feel this spot is great if you have a big appetite and don't mind a somewhat smaller range of options. I do think that they cover most ingredients that you might expect from a hot pot place, so I didn't really notice the restrictions much (I'm also pescetarian, to be fair--the meats definitely seem fewer in range).

Q-Pot, San Jose - A revisit was in order, especially for a friend's birthday lunch. We came with a…read moreparty of 7, which is just about perfect since Q-Pot can combine two BBQ tables so everyone can still eat together. I'm a couple weeks late but here's the breakdown: Food (4+ stars) + The weekday lunch deal is $25 per person for both hot pot and BBQ. Really appreciate establishments that provide great value and good food! + Garlic shrimp was excellent--flavorful, and grilling it ourselves made it even more fun. Pro tip - no more than 4 minutes on a hot grill! (4.5 stars) + Those thinly sliced hot pot meats, when grilled, are super good and they go really well with your custom sauces. I actually like this better than the bbq meats. (4 stars) + Their sauce bar is always one of my favorite as they actually have actual shacha and not a vat of oil. Pro tip for sauce: Lots of garlic, lots of shacha, chili oil, green onions, cilantro, tiny bit of ginger and a teaspoon of sugar. (4 stars) ~ Kalbi and bulgogi were decent--nothing top-tier, but good for the price. (3.5 stars) ~ Banchan are fillers at an AYCE but I appreciate the effort. Nothing really stands out here. Service/Ambiance (3.5 stars) + Trendy look even though it's been here for years. It's never a long wait even when there's people in front. ~ Service is standard; you order via kiosk. With our big party and lots of dishes, a couple items were missed--seems common if you order a ton! But overall, it's consistent and efficient. If you're expecting premium Wagyu, you'll be disappointed. If you're looking for a fun lunch with friends where everyone leaves full for $25, Q-Pot is still one of the better values in San Jose.

Came here for my brother's birthday party and I have to say I am extremely disappointed. This is my…read morefirst time having Korean barbecue in San Jose. The grills got burned astoundingly fast, and the servers are very young, tending to run away after one request and do not stay long to service their tables for long at all. The self serve ice cream is extremely freezer burnt. The meat quality is very chewy and very fatty, and the corn cheese is thrown onto the grill by the servers in a tinfoil ball. The overhead vents do not work, tons of smoke was blowing in our faces, and the servers weren't attentive to see it and change our grills. I used their hand sanitizer dispenser, and it made my hands sticky. My hands weren't sticky to begin with... If I had to describe the experience in one phrase it would be "Here, damn" I'm surprised how busy this location is compared to their service and food quality.

A waitress there had told me there would be a $7 charge to do that and I paid anyway, but a waiter from our most recent visit assured us there's no charge to mix broths and that there may have been a miscommunication. Glad I asked! We always order 2 sumos: Black Angus Prime Ribeye and the Premium American Kobe Beef but we decided we love the Kobe beef more and would stick to that moving forward as it is more marbled and tastes fattier. Don't forget to ask them for the spicy drops if you also love spicy! This continues to be our favorite place for shabu.

I'm not the biggest shabu shabu fan and One Pot isn't going to change that…read more My group ordered the angus ribeye and lamb entrees, the mushroom platter, and two of the rice beer pilsners. Food quality is good, all the veggies and meat were fresh. They sadly didn't have enoki mushrooms, but they had shiitake and some others so that was fine. The beers were very refreshing and light, sort of like if cheap American beer was made to actually taste good. Like imagine Budweiser without the hint of cigarette filters and moldy socks. Especially on a hot day this was very nice. Service was fast and the servers were very nice, coming by many times to check on us and promptly refilling. Although the restaurant was pretty empty at 5 pm on a Saturday, not too surprising as it was a while before the dinner rush I guess. So... why 3 stars? It all comes down to the flavorless broth and sauce that seems to be de rigueur for shabu shabu. We tried both the "original" soy/seaweed flavor, which just tastes like water, and garlic miso, which has a very mild flavor. And then we used the two dipping sauces which I are a creamy sesame and I guess a ponzu, which I added some green onion and garlic to. The combination of the very light broths and the very light sauces is... very light. I guess someone might say you "taste the ingredients" more compared to the vastly superior hot pot where you add some flavor via the cooking medium and have a wide variety of flavorful ingredients to make a customized sauce. I can somewhat understand the perspective of wanting to mostly taste the flavors of the raw ingredients... but I don't agree with it. To me shabu shabu is basically hot pot minus flavor, and hence kind of a waste. I will say, pricing is relatively good here. Our bill was under $150 for a ton of food with everyone feeling very full. The restaurant itself is very clean and they have a large and convenient parking lot. If only it was a hot pot restaurant it definitely had all the ingredients for a 5 star review.

The inside is pretty big. You can choose hotpot + kbbq for +$5, or just kbbq, we chose just kbbq. There's at least 15 tables inside, seats a very large amount of people. I can see their traffic kicks up probably at dinner time. For $20, their weekday lunch special is amazing!! You get unlimited beef belly, brisket, finger meat with pretty good marbling. Comes with sauce bar and decent selection of sides. With food costing $20 for a plate nowadays, I think $20 is a very great deal considering it was our only meal of the day.

The restaurant is located in the same plaza as 99 Ranch. There's plenty of parking but it can get packed. Make sure your stuff is safe if there is a vehicle. Once you enter, they have a waiting list to get seated. (tip: you can sign you through the Yelp mobile app). How long it takes depending on how busy, but usually never more than an hour. After being greeted by staff, they'll sit you at a table. To see the menu, scan their QR code. They offer a variety of hot pot dishes. They also offer boba but there's also a couple places in the plaza as well if you're not feeling their drink options. Last time I went, I decided to be adventurous and try lamb. With your order you can decides between rice or vermeselli noodles for your side. So glad I did, because it is delicious. But be careful, because the dish comes steaming hot. Once you're done with the meal, they offer these delicious refreshing sample of a seedling drink.
