    Mala Tang restaurant at Cupertino. It's not the type that you choose the ingredients and put it on scale for pricing. They have the menu with ingredients picked for you, I like it this way. I had the lazy guy dry pot, it has all the ingredients I wanted. We also ordered the mala tang spicy soup with udon, sliced beef and lamb, quail egg, pork belly and many others. It's all good.

    Delicious and love how you can customize! The price is reasonable and the serving size is filling. The interior was clean and the service was quick.

    The best dry pot in Bay. I will die on this hill! Favorite toppings: sliced beef, fish filet, potato (basically fries), wide noodles, eggplant. Their eggplant string bean stir fry (not listed on the menu) is also to die for. So sad to see them go.

    Hi Pot is one of my favorite place where you can customize your sizzling pot with various ingredients. I ordered lamb, beef and fatty beef slices in large size #10 DIY pot, with appetizers of popcorn chicken and fried intestine. The service is fast and food taste great. There are plenty of seating in the restaurant. There are reasonable number of parking spots in the strip mall.

    Lazy Guy Spice Pot with lotus root and beef tendon meatballs. Rice on the side

    First time trying dry pot, which is essentially hot pot ingredients stir fried and served in a fragrant blend of bloomed spices. I'm not a fan of mala hot pot because of the prevalence of Szechuan peppercorns, so this was a welcome variation. The flavor is definitely pronounced, and there's a good amount of oil in there so I'd recommend rice on the side to help absorb the grease. It is a bit pricy for even a small if you decide to add a few things per the add on menu (I added beef tendon meatballs, fish tofu, and lotus root) and rice isn't free at dinner time. However, the portion they serve you even with the small is really big, and I think 2 people could easily split one. Unfortunately, they forgot to add the fish tofu in mine. I'd definitely come back though! It's a unique dish that I feel they execute well.

    #1 House Special Spice Pot with eggplant, quail eggs, and enoki mushroom

    Fast service and massive portions. This is a size large which it says feeds 2-3 people but could easily feed 4 if you add on a couple more ingredients. We got the #1 House Special Dry Pot with eggplant, quail eggs, and enoki mushrooms. It's on the oilier side but that's expected for dry pot so just keep that in mind. We took half of it home for leftovers and after overnight and adding in more veggies, it's a lot less oily.

    3.5/5 Stars! First time having dry pot and I'll admit I prefer regular hotpot over it. It suck's that they don't put that much food in the base and most stuff are additional add-ons that cost extra. It's a tactic for you to pay more because if you don't include add-ons there's not much to eat. Flavor wise it was pretty good. Very spicy and flavorful and goes amazing with rice. There's a lot of food that with two of us we could barely finish it. It's a good option for large groups or those that don't mind sharing.

    Lazy Guy Spice Pot

    I've been looking for a solid reasonably priced dry malaxiangguo place in the bay. There were a few parties inside on a late weekend evening, so the ambience was calm and people were still eating together. Service was reasonably fast. We ordered the Lazy Guy Spice Pot for two which came out sizzling hot and sizable enough with room to share with leftovers. For those who haven't tried before, dry hot pot (malaxiangguo) is a stir-fried fragrant mix of meats, vegetables, tofu, and spices. Everything in the dry mix was seasoned perfectly and went well with the side of rice. Hi Pot is now my new go-to Chinese spot in Cupertino. Prices were reasonable too around $20-25 per person. Will have to check them out again for lunch when they serve complimentary rice and tea!

    Food (4.65/5): The dry spice pot is so yummy! If you come during lunch, there's a special that includes plum tea and rice with your order. The plum tea is a bit sweet, but hey it's free. And the rice complements the flavorful spice pot well. The food is about $20, but it's so much food and well worth the price. Service (4.3/5): The staff take your order and bring food to you. They seem nice and refill your water if you ask. Ambiance (4.35/5): There is a good amount of indoor seating and Chinese decor on the walls. The restaurant and bathroom were clean. There's a fish tank in the front

    Custom dry pot
    Vanessa T.

    Who knew you could amp use the taste of king bean sprouts. Ordered the vegetarian with lamb added as extra, beef, and a custom made one. The large is shareable with 2 with leftovers. Probably the regular size is good for two without leftovers. Moderate spicy is almost not spicy at all. Could definitely go higher without worrying. Comes with sweetened tea and rice during lunch, but no refills on it. Service was fast for most of the groups orders except the vegetarian one. After the group was halfway finished we asked for our other order, it came out right after that. So it doesn't hurt to ask after a few minutes instead of waiting until near the end like we did. Good little lunch spot. Ample seating and some bustling in a modern setting.

    Diy pot with beef, fish and taiwanese sausage
    Olivia C.

    If there is something I crave weekly, it's hi pot! This is the place that I will take my friends if they're coming from socal because i've never been to any other dry pot place that makes it like they do here. If you're looking for the numbing spice, this is not the place, but I am so thankful they don't make their pots mala spicy. I always opt for the large diy pot to share with my boyfriend and choose beef, fish and taiwanese sausage for the three selections and add instant noodles so it can help soak up the oil. The large is more than enough for dinner and we typically save half for the next days lunch and add our own veggies and ramen. It's almost as delicious as eating in! Pro tip: if you're ordering to go for a group of friends, boil some ramen and add it into the tray so it helps soak up the oil. It's so much better than just having rice on the side!

    Came back again to give it another shot and was more disappointed than before. The stinky fried tofu had no actual tofu in the middle. It just tasted like fried batter. From the presentation, the tofu did not smell, but as you start chewing it, the smell started to kick in. I got a dry pot with medium spicy level and it was not spicy at all. It's suppose to be a dry pot, but the bottom of the pot had at least 1 inch layer of oil/ water.

    D. I. Y. Spice Pot (lamb shoulder, beef tendon, Napa cabbage)
    Danica R.

    First time trying this place out. Starting with location: average size inside. Parking can be a bit difficult since it's not a huge parking lot. Service was not too bad. We waited a while to get our order taken, and to get our check, as well. Couldn't even find them to get refills on water. It was hard to flag down our server, and it wasn't overly busy at the time we went, so that knocked down one star. Food was delicious, however. I opted for the diy pot and added beef tendon, lamb, and Napa cabbage in it. I decided to go for medium spicy, but I think I could have gone a little spicier. But flavor profile was amazing! Portion size was just enough. I would come back again, maybe try out the hot pot to see how that tastes. Overall, I would recommend trying out the food here! Rating: 8.5/10

    Are they open during COVID19? YES THEY ARE :) diff hours though. Call and ask

    Is their vegetarian dry pot vegan? I've been craving this.

    You can customize it to be vegan. From what I taste, the sauce that they use doesn't have meat or eggs or dairy in it. But I would call and make sure though.

    What's in their secret sauce that they put in every pot?

    Is it all You can eat?

    No, but the portions are pretty big, so you won't leave hungry.

We called this place less than an hour before they were closing and they had! They were willing to let us order in advance and food was ready in 10 mins by time we got there. Their peking duck was juicy and they use thin pancakes to eat with. My first time eating with the pancakes because I usually eat with buns and this version was super yummy! Didn't feel as heavy compared to when eating with buns. The service was great, our server was very sweet! Restaurant wasn't too busy considering it was almost time to close but gave small restaurant and family style feel.

I went to Shanghai Family Restaurant with a family who had been dining here regularly. They were kind enough to bring me when they heard my family is from Shanghai. The restaurant is large, cutely decorated, spaciously laid out. We had excellent customer service. They sat us right away, made dish recommendations, brought our dishes quickly, checked on us more than once, had the perfect amount of small talk, and packed our leftovers at the table. The restaurant is a "family" place that is not fancy or upscale. You can bring kids, be loud, be casual. It's clean, but not TOO clean, if you know what I mean. I didn't knock off a star for that because it isn't classified under that type of venue. Shanghai Family Restaurant is ALL ABOUT THE FOOD! The best measurement of a good restaurant: when you are already planning your next visit before you're even done eating! I did this when I was eating their "lions head" meatball dish over rice. Yummy in my tummy! That is my favorite Shanghainese dish. I am strategizing my next visit!

I ordered the beef with onion and the lamb with onion dumplings and on a whim the beef huoshao. First of the soup dumplings are so super delicious! Little pillows of tasty meat in a soft wrapper that explode with flavor as soon as you bite into them! The Beef Huoshao was absolutely wonderfully delicious! It can 9th be described as a Chinese hamburger. A patty of seasoned beef covered by a rich flaky crust! I could eat a thousand of these, well maybe not a thousand but definitely a lot of them! You gotta try the Beef Huoshao and the dumplings here. So delicious!, The ambiance of the restaurant is very casual. Love this place and will be back soon!

    Tastes like comfort. This is what you're going to get when you dine at Fuji Huoshao & Dumpling…read more The Beef Huoshao was phenomenal. The beef patty was juicy. The skin was crispy and chewy. 100% should order this. The Lamb Noodle Soup had a deep lamb flavor that probably took the restaurant years to perfect. I wanted to drink up every last drop of the soup. One downside was that I felt super dehydrated after the meal and I think it was because the soup had a lot of salt. We also ordered the Three Deluxe Dumplings. The inside of the dumpling was juicy while the skin had a nice chewy texture. I don't normally enjoy the thicker skin dumplings but these were good despite being thicker skin. We also ordered the Pig Ears as an appetizer. They were okay. The seasoning was not over-powering, but the actual pig ears were not that crunchy. Would probably skip this dish next time.

The tables and restaurant were clean and nicely spaced apart. You're able to have a conversation at a normal volume without feeling like people are sitting on top of each other. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and would come back again. Ordering is done via your phone and QR code which I think is great. You're able to order at your own pace and see exactly what you've ordered. I believe each person at the table can also "contribute" to the same group order which is nice. We tried a variety of dishes including the XLB, pan fried pork buns, green onion pancake, chicken potstickers, pork wonton (chili sauce on the side), and beef pancake rolls. Everything was brought out quickly and tasted nice and fresh. There is one service experience where they went above and beyond. I accidentally dropped one of the beef pancake rolls on the floor. This was completely my fault. I felt terrible and profusely apologized for the mess that I made. As we were enjoying our other dishes, they were so kind and brought us another order of beef rolls which allowed each of us to try it. That was very kind of them, especially after the mess I made.

Surprisingly, the normal Dan Dan noodles ("special sesame dry noodle") were quite bad. The beef and tendon noodle soup is not bad, decent for when I was sick. There is a "beef and tendon noodle soup" as well as a "beef only noodle soup" on the menu - you might think the beef only one would be better value and have more meat, I ordered both to see the difference - even though the meat only one does have more meat, the meat is more tough and very hard to chew. So the beef with tendons soup has way better texture and more tender meat pieces

After placing our order, the food came out relatively quick. We ordered 2 beef noodle soups, the works, and 2 beef rolls. Starting off with the beef rolls, these came out cold. I heard that this is what this place was known for. The meat in our rolls wasn't even lukewarm and the pancakes came out super soggy almost like they didn't even try. Please tell me how the pancake look brown and crispy on the outside and still comes out cold and not crispy at all. My nephew even said they weren't crispy and he's 3. The lady told us that the sauce on the inside was salty and that's why they don't give extra and man was she right. 1/5* The beef noodles soup itself flavor wise was good and portion wise it was good for $21, but my noodles had no chew to them at all. I was attempting to pick them up with chopsticks and they would just break into pieces. They do give a decent amount of beef though in this. 2.5/5* for the flavor but don't expect much from the noodles. Same thing went for the works, it was a peanut buttery sauce that the lady claimed wasn't spicy, but my parents noticed that it had a kick to it even though they asked for it not to be spicy. The egg is a nice touch but not too sure if it's worth the price. Noodle consistency was the same as the beef noodle soup. 2.5/5*
