    Came on a Saturday night and it was such a great experience! We were seated right away. You can choose between 2-3 different style broths with no extra cost: our group chose the seafood, bone, and tomato paste broth. I liked the seafood and tomato paste broth. The bone one didn't have a strong flavor and tasted a bit bland. We got the beef, pork belly, tendon, and intestines for protein and the quality was pretty good. Also recommend the mushroom platter for vegetables. The sauce bar has some of the best sauces I've seen offered. The meat sauce was really good! There's also a grass jelly dessert (pretty darn good!) and oranges that are available at the sauce bar. Our group was so full and pleased with the experience. Would come back again if in the area.

    My coworkers and I reserved tables for 25+ people and had a hot pot extravaganza. Tables were prepped and ready to go when we arrived. Every item on the menu was ordered, and my favorites were the Spicy Beef soup base + tallow bear, beef, beef tendon, fish roe ball, lotus root and pumpkin. The ingredients were quality and fresh, and service was quick to ensure each table had what we needed. Excellent hot pot flavor with plenty of fresh meat and seafood options. Would highly recommend!

    The food here is amazing. The broth, the variety of meat and veggies, and the sauce station are really good. This place is definitely worth your money. The service is amazing. They will refill our table with water constantly and they will checkin and ask if we want to top off our broth if they think we are running out. The place is great for groups and the place is well lit with amazing decorations.

    Time to share my experience at Jiuding Flavor Restaurant! We got mild spicy, bone soup, and mushroom soup base, and the bear butter?? is so cute! But Idk why they put bean sprouts on both of non-spicy soup base. lol Compare to the other hotpot spots the price of the items here is so acceptable, and the portion and quality is above the standard in Bay Area too! I minus one star on the review because of the customer service, it was not even busy when we were there, but the servers didn't really attend to us. Hopefully they can improve their customer service.

    Very reasonably priced hot pot restaurant, you can order multiple soup bases and they will give you a split pot. They are not AYCE, so you order a la carte but everything was very affordable and will easily fill you up. The ramen and noodle dishes were extremely big, so no need to order one portion per person (unless you want to!). On the other hand, the meat dishes were fair in portion size, so scale that up if you want more meat in your meal. They have a sauce station with a few options so you can make your own sauce mix, and a grass jelly pot too for dessert. Staff came by multiple times very quickly to ask if we were ready to order, but were still patient with us as we figured out what to order. The English translations were not all that great, but we sort of figured it out via trial and error. Overall, the restaurant is a bit on the small side, so come early to avoid a wait and they do have some bigger tables in the back.

    My friend recommended this hot pot restaurant but it only took me a couple years until I tried it out. Workers were quite to greet us and we got seated right away. The restaurant was small but they had designated areas for large party. There were also plenty of parking spaces. They went through the menu and gave us some recommendations. We ordered three soup bases: spicy & oil, spicy & beef tallow, and three fresh. We also ordered several dishes of meats and veggies. We definitely ordered too much for just two people so we had left overs. They also had a sauce bar where you can make your own sauce. Overall, the experience and food was good, and price was reasonable for a hot pot restaurant. Most of the items were a la carte with some combo dishes. I would definitely come back and try their other soup bases.

    Dude- if you want a sauna and facial plus deliciousness all in one, go go go! Authentic Chinese options. I've never before had these Broth options, the tomato was not too strong but the mushroom was divine. We ordered bean sprouts, beef, lamb, wagyu, three kinds of noodles, mushrooms, shrimp and cabbage. The sauce bar provides everything from fresh cilantro, garlic, green onions, beef and mushroom sauce and I personally mix them all together. Complimentary dessert options are orange slices and jelly which is cold and refreshing. Will definitely be back. So many amazing options in this area.

    My brother and I came here spontaneously on a Thursday night and the restaurant was pretty filled but luckily we got seated right away. Make sure to go to the sauce bar while you're waiting for the food to come out; they even have free grass jelly. We settled on getting a split broth; we got spicy and beef tallow and tomato soup. We both preferred the tomato. We also got the lamb and beef combo, pork belly, vegetable platter, quail eggs, fish ball with roe, lotus roots, and udon. All the meats were good and the ingredients were tasty and fresh. My brother said this place was significantly cheaper and a good value compared to other non-ayce hot pot spots in the area. Definitely worth a try!

    Overall a great option for a-la-carte Chinese hot pot! Good quality and the interior is very home-like. The prices aren't crazy high too! They charge about $4 per person for soup. You can choose up to 3 broths with no extra charge. You can also add an adorable beef tallow bear into your broth! My group tried the Seafood Soup and the Spicy Beef Tallow Soup Base. Both were decent, but nothing too different from other hot pot spots. Flavorful and satisfying though. The staff also were really attentive and continuously refilled the broth for us when it would get low! PRO TIP : order lots of Extreme Beef :-) A downside of this location is the lack of ventilation. My hair and clothes strongly smelled like sichuan peppercorns for many hours after! Definitely plan to shower and do laundry after coming here...

    I really enjoyed this hotpot place!! I was first attracted because of the cute bear that I wanted to see for myself. I was even more intrigued as I noticed the great overall rating. Firstly, this place is an a la carte hotpot restaurant which I usually dont go to because they can tend to be pricey and add up when you order more inclusions. However, the price was very fair for 4 people coming out to about ~$125. I think it definitely lives up to the rating. The broths were really good and flavorful! I really enjoyed the Spicy Broth with the Tallow Bear. The presentation was really fun for each of the dishes as well. We also ordered the veggie platter and mushroom platter. Which BTW, the veggie platter comes with glass noodle and mushroom already :-) The servers were also really attentive to us, refilling our water and soup broth. They were really nice too! I love the authentic vibe of the place overall and more "family-esque" service :) Definitely would return to try more items from the menu.

    Wonderful spot for some hot pot! Service was attentive and after we ordered, everything came out in a couple of minutes. Went on a week night and got seated immediately. They had a nice sauce bar set up to create your own concoction. I loved that they had grass jelly and some fruit there to end your meal with! We shared the tomato and spicy/beef tallow broths. The tomato broth was delicious and flavorful! The beef tallow had a great slow building heat level to it. I personally found myself eating meats/veggies out of the tomato broth the majority of the time. They give you generous portions for the price of each item! Really enjoyed the quail eggs, fish roe fish balls, pork belly and I'm a sucker for some fresh tofu. Overall an excellent option for dinner in a location filled with dining options!

    Delicious tomato and spicy soup bases! Love the lamb!! So good. Love the rice cakes so chewy! Staff is friendly and attentive. The con in the setup is that for the 2 people seat area, there is no space to remove around. Also, better ventilation would be good too. Overall, good experience as yummy food! Recommend and will be coming again.

    An absolute hidden gem!!! I only have a few hot pot spots that I frequent in the Bay Area so I wanted to try a new restaurant. I stumbled upon Jiuding on yelp and it had such great reviews so I knew I had to check it out. My boyfriend and I came for dinner on Sunday and had an incredible time! We got the spicy and beef tallow hot pot and the three fresh hot pot for our bases. Both had excellent flavors but I was a huge fan of the three fresh base. Highly highly recommend! And all the ingredients were fresh and delicious. T meat was great quality and there was so much variety in general. Service has never really stood out to me at other hot pot spots but the service here was noticeably great. They made sure we always had enough napkins and checked in to refill our broth once in a while. Such a friendly and attentive staff! Compared to other non ayce hot pot restaurants around here, Jiuding was much more affordable and the quality was just as good if not better. I will definitely be back!

    Are they closed right now? I checked on google and it said temporarily closed.

    Is this all you can eat?

    Sorry. Last few time I went, it's still individual orders from the menu.

    Would you have any MSG free options for the soup base?

    No MSG .Thanks.

    Hi! Are any of your broth/soup bases vegetarian, or can be made vegetarian? Thanks!

    Absolutely - we have Vegetarian broth

    I’m new to hot potting. How many broths can we get for a party of 2. Do we get our own broth pot or do we have to share?

    Flip through some of the pics. The most you can have is 3 broths in one pot that has 3 sections. The hot pot is heated with induction heater so no actual flame exist but that limits to how many heater the table as each heater can accommodate one pot… 

    Is the special combo price available on weekday dinner?

    Sorry, unfortunately not. The special combo is only available at lunch time from Monday to Friday.

    Does the restaurant let the customers stay after the meals (lunch)to chat ? Is it very busy that you have to leave right after you finish eating?

    Well, we never request any customer leave right away when they finish the meal no matter we are busy or not. So feel free to chat if you like. But we are close at 2:30p.m. for lunch break and close at 10:00p.m. at night.

Besides hotpot items, we got the fried pork and fried rice which is worth trying! Build your own sauce bar or try some of the different sauces. Alongside there's snacks ( the jelly noodles were my fav) and desserts to try as well. Reservations did not work on Google nor Yelp but was not needed for a Tuesday night. Apron was provided and service was good but we also had a mandarin speaker who also approved the authenticity of the meal as well!

We didn't expect the Tom Yum broth to have such a strong coconut flavor. I didn't enjoy it. We mostly ate from the green rattan pepper broth, which was very spicy but pretty good! For sides, we got the lettuce, mentaiko fish balls, tofu skin, udon, enoki mushrooms, and Angus eye steak. I wouldn't get the lettuce again, since it gets too soggy in hot pot. I would opt for other vegetables instead. That said, one issue I had was that a fly flew into my sauce while we were eating. There were a couple of other flies flying around, likely because we were seated near the door. Since it was just my sauce, I was able to replace it, so I didn't mind too much but I'd avoid sitting near the door next time and hope they keep it closed. Overall, with so many hot pot places in the Bay Area, I'm not sure if this one will stand out especially with strong competition in Milpitas and San Jose. The quality is good, and the restaurant concept is cool. However its expensive compared to other places! I just hope they invest in better marketing, since we only discovered this place while heading to another restaurant in the same plaza. Their $17 lunch specials are pretty cheap so maybe I'd come back for a lunch special one day.
