I cannot eat spicy due to acid reflux and heart burn so I never really cared to try this place. But what I appreciate they have is a non-spicy level. The flavors are great and if you get the large, protein is a plenty! I came here prior and gotten my own pot that's small and I do think they get more protein than 2 smalls. The only hard part of getting a large is that you have to share with someone and agree on the items. Luckily this time my husband who loves super super super spicy food was fine with sharing a non spicy dish. He let me have full reign on the proteins but he was able to pick one item. It came with two bowls of rice and two teas since we came for lunch. We had enough left overs for dinner too. Can't wait to come back! But might have to get a small again next time. read more

What a sad day. Hi Pot will be closing on 6/30/25, with their last day of service on 6/29. If you haven't been, make time before then for the best dry pot in the Bay. Also, try their garlic green beans and eggplant! The best dish from their original menu that they'll still make if you ask. The rich garlic sauce and umami flavor are unmatched. I can't order this dish elsewhere without being disappointed. I miss Hi Pot already. read more

So sad to hear this place will be closing after this week. If you want to go, this will probably be your last chance. Their last day will be this Sunday. :( The food here is the right amount of spicy. They have different levels of spicy and this hits the spot. There's so many different types of options you could add to your dry pot. There's only been a few places that can really hit the spot and this is one of them. Overall they probably don't have as much staff anymore but the servers there can do multiple things at the same time and are able to see if you need something. We went at lunch but while they were taking orders and serving food, they could see we were ready to go and gave us our check quickly during the lunch rush. The place looked clean and there was plenty of seating. Parking can be hard during rush hours too but there's additional parking in the back of the complex. read more

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. read more

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.

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. read more

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. read more

So sad to see this closed. This was the best dry pot in the bay area hands down. Very affordable too. There is nothing like it at all. All other places follow the generic template of mala peppercorn taste profile for their dry pot. This one has much complex flavor with smoky taste. Hopefully the come back soon in another location read more

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. read more

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! read more

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 read more

Hi Pot remains my go-to spot for mala dry pot. The flavor is consistently bold, spicy, and addictive. They've added malatang to the menu in response to the trend, offering a streamlined ordering process with a form where you check off your preferred ingredients. There's a solid variety to choose from, and the portions are generous with good-quality cuts. What really sets Hi Pot apart is their flash-fry technique, which adds an extra layer of flavor to the ingredients. Everything comes out well-coated in their signature mala sauce--aromatic, numbing, and packed with heat. The lunch special is a great value, including rice and green tea. Service is quick and efficient. The ambience has gotten a slight refresh--it now feels more like a minimalist workspace with white lighting and Jay Chou songs constantly playing in the background. One small note: there's a fish tank near the front door, and the water filter can get pretty loud, so I usually avoid sitting too close to it. My friend usually goes for the malatang and recommends it as well, so whether you're in the mood for soup or stir-fry, Hi Pot delivers on both fronts. Definitely worth checking out if you're craving that Sichuan kick. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

We ordered take-out from here. Their menu is quite extensive, including some "pre-set" options along with build-your-own spiced dry pots. We were overwhelmed by the options, so opted for one of their pre-set options: Lazy Guy. It gives a nice mix of different meats, including chicken, beef, and fish + veggies. It doesn't come with carbs, so you have to order that separately -- annoying that they charge extra for rice, so I opted to add instant noodles to the dish. It was almost the perfect amount for two people. I think that we probably should have gotten two carb add-ons. The spice level isn't that bad. We were worried and got mild, and while very flavorful, it wasn't spicy. You never know what the spice levels are with sichuan food, so I'm glad that we were cautious this time, but might get medium next time. ! I loved the mix of different items. It's like a treasure hunt trying to figure out what you want to eat! There is plenty of meat in the dish and the flavors are amazing! We also got a side of scallion pancakes and these are some of the best scallion pancakes I've had in a while. Hefty, crispy on the outside, and scallion-forward! read more

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 read more

Hi Pot - D. I. Y. Spice Pot (lamb shoulder, beef tendon, Napa cabbage) - Szechuan Near Me - Cupertino, California

Was searching on yelp for a nice place to eat on a Saturday in Cupertino since I was going to be in the area. I love hotpot, dry pot, and anything similar so this restaurant had perked my interested. I got the lazy guy spice pot and my boyfriend had gotten the spicy pork combination pot. First of all, the amount of meat given in the pot is actually pretty generous. I couldn't even finish my pot and neither could he. We took ours to go! Second, it was slightly lacking flavor. It didn't have that flavor that packed a punch, or that WOW factor. It was very plain and simple. The service is good. The waitress is nice, and the food took a little longer than expected but still less than 30 minutes. However, it isn't busy at all. The ambiance is good. It is pretty hot in here and it seems there is no AC, or at least the AC isn't working that great because this summer heat is no joke! There isn't much decor in this restaurant and there are plenty of seatings. read more

I got the lazy guy spicy pot, braised pork rice, and crispy pork intestine. - Lazy Guy Spicy Pot (small, mild): The mild reallllly is mild. Hot cheetos are spicier, which is not a problem since I did not feel like burning myself that day. I liked how the spices/flavors (tasted kind of like curry) really coated the food. There was a good amount of meats and veggies. - Braised Pork Rice: It was good to go with the pot. Only issue is that it was a bit too oily, there was a pool of oil on the bottom. - Crispy Pork Intestine: It wasn't bad, but it was a little stronger than I expected compared to the other times I have had it at other places. - Hot and Sour Cucumbers: Packed full of flavor. Parking: Small, busy lot. You can try to find parking all around the building. Sometimes you will need to park in the neighborhood. The place had a good amount of tables. It got pretty busy by the end of our meal as most of the restaurant was filled. Note: Cash or venmo only if it's under $30. I didn't know so I was confused when I tried to pay with my card the 2nd time and was told that it wasn't accepted. read more

My husband and I have been to this restaurant twice so far. Every time we're in the area, my husband would ask to go here because the food is just that amazing. Service is good. They sit you down pretty quickly and take your order sheet whenever you're ready (you mark what you want on a piece of paper). They don't excessively check up on you, which we prefer. The fried pork intestine is crispy on the outside and pairs well with the sauce they provide. It melts in your mouth instead of being chewy like most other places. We got the large custom dry pot with beef, lamb, pork belly, king oyster mushroom, and quail eggs with medium spice. During lunch time it comes with 2 rice bowls and 2 teas. We only order the large because we want leftovers to take back home with us to Sacramento. The leftovers is enough to feed us for another meal. The meal can get a little oily but it goes really well with rice. Everything tastes amazing. Please bring a location to the Sacramento/Elk Grove area! read more

Came here for dry pot lunch. Ask for less oil and less salt, as the dish is pretty greasy and salty. The flavors are good, but they all taste the same since they use the same seasonings regardless of what toppings you pick. I can't comment on the other items on the menu, but they're most popular for their dry pot. Lunch includes a free bowl of rice; dinner rice is $2 extra. read more

I used to come a little bit more often in person, but since I've become a parent, sometimes I can't easily get out of the house. Hi Pot is an amazing option if you have to do takeout or delivery. The food stays really well on its journey to my home and into my stomach. I always get the DIY Spice Pot as it's delicious no matter what I decide to put in there. The only thing is I wonder if I'm getting less in the takeout container than in the store. This is my go-to for dry pot! (Granted I've never actually tried their hot pot because I like their dry pot so much I never thought of trying anything else) During my last visit to Hi Pot, we went pretty early around 5:30pm and we couldn't find the waitress. She came out like 10 minutes later and seated us, but it was sort of strange to just leave the whole restaurant empty when it was open for business. Anyways, 6:30pm or so, tables started filling up and they became harder to flag for other reasons than absence. In general, it definitely resembles a mom and pop shop with simple decor, tables and chairs. The fish tank no longer has fish in it -- RIP fishies. read more

This place definitely helped scratch that greasy spicy pot itch! Great choice for a quick spicy dry pot, though my brother probably suffered a bit as their "mild" was a bit much for the poor spicy amateur. Wonderfully flavorful and extremely fast / casual meal, though decor is in line with being a slightly modernized hole-in-the-wall. Note: Free rice and tea actually applies on weekends too, so we got the freebies on a Saturday (unlike other lunch offers for once). Tea was a chilled sweetened jasmine tea that was surprisingly fragrant and a lovely compliment to the meal. Service staff member was quite considerate and kept our waters full (even letting us know he was opening the door and to tell him if it got too cold). Food came out pretty fast, which makes sense since they're probably blitzing through the saute having specialized in a few dishes. All in all I was quite happy with my dry pot. They also have regular hot pot offerings and ordering is really picking between those options and what goes into it, so it makes more sense to comment generally on how they do things rather than dish-by-dish. They do have pre-selected offerings that are slightly cheaper than choose-your-own. I went with a "Happy Farm" (chicken wing, beef, pork belly) and my brother went DIY (sausage, beef, lamb shoulder). Personally given the ratios you could probably do 2 meats/1 veg or just adding on a veggie to balance it out better, but quality was generally pretty good and it was a lovely meal. The potato was a quite crispy surprise (must have been pre-fried) that added a nice crunch to the base of bean sprouts, celery, and bean curd. Their chicken wing was also crispy fried, augmenting the existing crunchiness. Meats were generally flavorful punches and well seasoned across the board. read more

It wasn't as good as I remembered pre-covid times but it still hits your spicy dry pot cravings. I haven't tried many spicy dry pot restaurants however what I like about this place is they have individual pots. This way, you can enjoy the ingredients that you like and don't have to worry about what others don't like. I always get the D.I.Y Spice Pot in Medium Spice. My three go to Add-on items are Quail Eggs, Pig Ears, and Beef Tripe. FYI, all pots already come with Bean Sprout, Potato, Celery, and Bean Curd Skin. Regarding the spice, if you really want to feel the Mala, get at least a Medium. The Mild oddly does not have the taste. I was a bit disappointed by the Pig Ears. They were all soggy and did not have the crunchy texture, which is the best part. I probably had a couple pieces and could not manage to finish the rest. I also didn't like that the bottom of the pot was all full of the spicy liquid. I wish they could've kept the dish as dry as possible. I was also surprised to find how empty the place have become. It used to be packed with people and I am not sure if it was because of it being the evening, holiday season, or weather, but I noticed how much things have changed around here. Before, the staff would come by to take your order but I was surprised to find that you now order by checking off items on a piece of paper. This does make it convenient however, I noticed they might have made this change to help with staffing shortages. Service was kind of slow that night. I also think they added Mala Spicy Hot Pot option to the menu. I don't recall them having this option before. Parking is a bit of a pain as it's always packed and the driveway is dangerously super small. In addition, I think this place is much worth it during lunch as you get free rice and Ice Tea. You save about $2 bucks on rice. This might also be the ultimate reason why dinner time might be less popular. This place is definitely makes a great lunch spot! Give it a try! read more

I love a good dry pot so when I was trying to figure out what to eat for lunch in Cupertino, I immediately thought of Hi Pot. I was able to easily snag a spot in their small parking lot at noon. When I walked in, all I saw were Chinese-speaking customers. That's when I knew I was in for a treat! I love how customizable their dry pot is. If you get overwhelmed by all the options, you can choose one of their set combinations. We went the custom route. We definitely went a bit crazy with choosing the number of ingredients (~5) in our pot. When the pot came out, there was enough food to feed 6 of me. We chose the mild spice and it was pretty mild. I think on my next visit, I'll go up a spice level. When it came to the bill, I appreciate how they didn't charge me for the 3 most expensive ingredients and give me the 3 cheapest ones as part of the "build your own and choose 3 ingredient." Instead, they did the opposite! I love a restaurant that doesn't scam their customers. From the yummy food to not scamming customers, they have secured a returned customer. Can't wait to come again! read more

Hi Pot - Dry pot! - Szechuan Near Me - Cupertino, California

My friends and I visited Hi pot in Cupertino this weekend as we were craving some Sichuan food (as always ). Very few places offer dry pot as far as I know in the South Bay so we were quite excited to try it out. This was the second time that we were trying to eat at this place. The first time there was a long queue outside and the server just told us to go to some other place. When we entered our server told us even before we were seated that we had to order and finish our meal in 30 minutes as they were closing soon. We had reached 45 mins prior to closing time (9pm). We ordered a large pork dry pot, my friends got a veggie one and DIY one. Unfortunately we selected the super spicy one and could barely eat anything as we constantly chugged water. Our spice tolerance is pretty high but this was another level. Our friends enjoyed their meal and said they would be back despite the rush for us to get out. We won't be back given service and ambience. read more

Would totally give 0 star if there's an option. My bf and I ate this for dinner ( super oily ), around 2AM my bf started feeling nauseous thinking probably it's just too oily. Couple hours later he stared to barf NONSTOP plus insane diarrhea. There's no way that's just oil. We had to pull up to the ER to get treated, the doctor diagnosed him as EXTREME FOOD POISONING. I thought I was fine, I had stomach ache but later I felt better, but when I was waiting for my bf in the ER, I felt nauseous too. I started to barf nonstop and had multiple diarrheas. It has been an entire day now and our stomaches have no signs of stopping with the pain and reflux. Please come here if you want to spend thousands in the ER and feel terrible for the rest of your weekend ( at least ). read more

Located in a busy but tiny plaza, parking is a bit of a struggle. Luckily I live within walking distance so that's not a huge issue for me. Came here with my friends and we were seated pretty quickly. You just fill out the slip of paper with how you want to build your dry spice pot/hot pot. My friend really wanted to check this place out because she'd never had spice pot before and neither had I! I got the house special spice pot, my friends got the seafood combination spice pot, and happy farm spice pot. Everything was super good, with the mala flavor. I got medium but it wasn't really spicy. I'll probably go up to extra spicy next time. My only complaint is that my friend let me try one of the clams from his seafood combo spice pot and it was not fully cooked. The shell was still closed and the meat was maybe 50% cooked. I wound up spitting it out. Everything else was fully cooked, just the clams. Otherwise everything was really good and I had leftovers for the next day! Would return! read more

Hi Pot was my first dry pot experience and it's delicious! I've mostly ordered on Doordash, but I finally had the chance to eat in and definitely recommend it because there's a big price difference when you dine there. I always order the #10 and I love how you can customize your bowl! I usually focus on proteins since it already comes with bean sprouts, potatoes, and cabbages. The large is such a great deal and is good for sharing with others. My bf and I got the large and had enough leftovers for another meal. The crispy pork intestines are delicious too. read more

Hi Pot - Szechuan Near Me - Cupertino, California

The dry spice pots here are so good! I recommend getting it during lunch time because tea and rice are included. Be warned, although it is around 20 dollars for the minimum, it is a lot of food, and it can be a bit oily (the oil pools at the bottom). Nevertheless, that is the cost of ultra spice flavor! I've never been to a restaurant that is able to make celery and lotus root taste so powerfully fragrant, so it truly astonishes me how each bite of the pot ingredients can be full of flavor. Service can be a bit slow sometimes, but the servers are friendly and the system to order is fun. There are so many options to choose from to build a spice pot. Customizability is key here. Just be careful, as each ingredient added past 3 (if you choose the DIY pot) can start to pile up costs. read more

This is a staple for dry hot pot!!! So yummy! Everytime someone mentions this place I get mouth watery because the spices they use in the pot is just delicious. My favorite is the pork one because it has intestine, stomach, pork belly, and a little more. Pair this with rice and it is just amazing to eat. The service was attentive for when we needed to order and pay which is good. Ambiance is a little quiet since they don't have music playing. Parking may be a little tricky but they have extra spots in the back if needed. Highly recommend for someone who wants to eat dry hot pot. read more

This place was above my expectation. Went here on a Saturday and it was pretty empty so we got seated right away. Menu was pretty easy, you are able to pick 8 different choices of your own. Service was a bit slow, they don't really check on you but they are always there when you need them. We ordered mild spicy bone broth and original bone broth hot pot. Both were good. I really enjoyed their soup base, it wasn't as salty as all other places I've tried. The flavor hit right on the spot, and the portion is big enough if you order rice with it. One thing to keep in mind is their mild spicy is actually pretty spicy, if you are a person who can't take the spice I would suggest their original bone broth. It was just as good. read more

Hi Pot - Szechuan Near Me - Cupertino, California

Tasty and great meat selections. Next time I'll for sure get the spiciest option as it wasn't that spicy. It doesn't seem to contain as much mala spice as I was hoping. I've had dry pot in LA and that was really spicy and full of mala flavor, which seems to be lacking at this place. I really do love the idea of building your own bowl, but it would be great if there was a way to customize the flavor more instead of just spice level. Or if the default flavoring could just have some more depth to it. It didn't have quite the savory flavor that had me enjoying each and every bite. Would like to see this place improve, and would possibly come back one day. The ingredients were good, and I was happy with the portion sizes. Service seemed good as well, no complaints. They dropped off water and the food, and that's pretty much it and all I need anyways. Place was clean as well. read more

super yummy hot pot spot! they have both dry pot and the regular soup kind of hot pot. I tried the happy farm spice dry pot (small) with potato and vermicelli noodles as add ons - rice is an add on option also and is not included with the hot pots. I was sharing the pot with another person and was worried at first it wouldn't be enough since it's the small size, but it was actually a pretty big portion and we had enough to take home for leftovers. It also wasn't too spicy since it was mild. Only downside was the service since they did forget/ took a long time to bring out one of our person's order, but we were a party of five so it was understandable. would recommend and eat another dry pot again! read more
