    No wait on a Saturday at 7:30pm! They give you an iPad to order from so there's not much staff interaction. Al la carte ordering here. We decided to get the split soup base with their house spicy and fish maw broth. Both were flavorful and I liked that I wasn't extremely thirsty after the meal !! Menu is pretty extensive with a lot of different combinations to choose. Between 2 people, we got the beef and lamb platter (very aesthetic but would have liked to try more variety meats), beef tongue, and mixed veggies. Meats were thin and pretty good quality. They also have a self serve appetizer and sauce bar. Tripe and cucumbers were cold and refreshing but also spicy which I enjoyed. I didn't realize their standard of spicy is higher than normal, especially with the peppercorns in the broth but still good. Overall, clean modern place but just a little on the pricey side

    Unlimited sides and sauce station

    À la carte hotpot place. There are some hotpot combos for 2 or 4 people. We walked in Tuesday around 7pm. We were seated right away. It wasn't that busy. They have an unlimited side dish and sauce station. We liked the Spicy Mala Pork skin, pickled spicy radish, pickled cucumbers, and honeydew, orange. We ordered 2 broths: the classic spiciest broth and pork bone broth. Both were good. We also order mushroom, tongho, fried rolled tofu skin, wagyu beef, lamb, and beef. Too much spicy items though. Service was pretty fast. You will smell like hotpot when you leave. Don't see any vents above the tables.

    Came here for lunch and was very satisfied with my meal. The staff were very friendly and got seated immediately. We did two broths - the new chicken broth and the spicy numbing broth both of which were delicious. I preferred the spicy broth, we had an assortment of beef, lamb and chicken. We also had some veggies: lettuce, mushrooms and others. I especially enjoyed the beef and lamb, the skewers are solid too. We also ordered some quail eggs and fried rice. I really enjoyed taking the protein out of the broth, dipping it in the friend rice and eating it with toppings! The ambiance is fairly modern, it's a decent sized restaurant and parking is accessible through the lot just around the corner.

    I was so excited to try this hot pot restaurant through the Yelp Elite event! They had lots of food options including appetizer skewers, Chinese donut with shrimp paste, fried rice, a wide variety of veggies, and of course the meats. We were able to try two soup bases, but one of them was too spicy for me to enjoy. Our table had a great time enjoying delicious food while meeting new people. It was also nice hearing the owner and co-owners talk about the Self Help for the Elderly mission as well.

    We went there on Valentine's Day. There was a line, like pretty much everywhere that day, but the wait wasn't too bad. We ordered mild spicy and mushroom hot pot, very light and delicious beer in a whole jar just for $10. I also tried a coconut drink, which was tasty and definitely worth it. The place itself looked fine. Nothing particularly special or memorable in terms of atmosphere. Overall, I'd say it's a solid spot for hot pot: not the best, but definitely not bad. If you're looking for variety, it's worth trying.

    Pulled up to Liuyishou in San Mateo with a couple buddies after a long day and this spot just nailed it. Best boneless chicken hotpot ever!!! No exaggeration. The broth was crazy aromatic and super comforting, and the chicken stayed tender the whole time we were hanging out and chatting around the bubbling pot. We kept saying "ok last piece" then reaching in again lol. Also tried their beef & lamb platter and it was fire - thin slices, nice texture, cooks in seconds and soaks up all that broth flavor. Staff was easygoing but on it, adjusting the burner and refilling broth without us even asking. Chill place to linger, share bites, and just vibe over legit hotpot :)

    We were seated right away and had to order through a tablet. Al la carte hotpot - a little overpriced but best to come with large groups to share. They charged us extra for the sauce station and fruits/side dishes. Overall - it was good but wouldn't be my first option in downtown San Mateo for hotpot

    Mysterious meat. Foamy and pink jelly like substance.
    Klo H.

    Stumbled upon this hot pot place to have a quick fix of easy hot pot. I was pretty happy with the side dish (chill oil tripe) offered with the sauce bar ($3.5) until my main course was served. It's a fixed set with 9 different ingredients (Tofu sheet strips, kelp knots, vegetable, spicy chicken gizzards, quail eggs, mystery spicy beef, beef omasum, numbing beef tongue, and pink jelly beef) plus a selection of beef or lamb. The vegetable was ok. But there were some really suspicious items served. It appeared that they served low quality meat and in order to tenderize the meat, they add baking soda and water into the meat then pour a large amount of oil to create a sealing layer. You can see from the photos the translucent pink jelly appearance and foamy substance. The thin-cut beef was really lean (I over heard other tables were complaining), which I don't mind. Service was great so I didn't give it a 1star.

    My friend and I came here last week for dinner . We had come really early on a Saturday so the place was pretty empty . Even by 7pm there were still a few tables open. Liuyishou is not ayce but the quality of the meat / presentation is very nice . I also liked how they have different types of broths that I haven't seen in other places . You have to order on the iPad but they don't have pictures of every item which makes it hard to order some items. We got a plain broth and a spicy broth . The spicy broth is very tasty and I liked it . I also really liked the sauce bar, it comes with many sides like seaweed salad and octopus salad . Total was $200 after tax and tip !

    All Beef Platter
    Christine D.

    Had an awesome lunch here on a Sunday. Not busy so had time to enjoy the big space. They have a sauce, snack and fruit bar but had to pay extra $3.50/person. Totally worth it. The orange and winter melon were sweet, the sesame ball was soft and fresh. Tried the tomato and house special pork bone - both were delicious. Ordered the all beef platter and vege platter. Only thing is, the meat slices are so thin. But everything tasted great.

    I'd recommend this place as a comfortable place for a group. There is plenty of seating and large tables to accommodate large parties. The meat quality is at level for what you pay for. The bone broth and spicy broth is really tasty! Although we found some plastic in the soup (on accident), the server replaced everything and handled the problem very professionally and thoughtfully. I've had better quality hot pot with more variety, so I would say this place isn't the best nor the worst. I wouldn't mind coming back if I am eating with a large group but be sure to get a table before 6/6:30 to avoid the waitlist.

    Pork bone soup base
    Kathy L.

    Came for lunch with my friend for all you can eat $19.99. It's not very busy on weekday lunch. Only about 3 other tables, in the middle of the restaurant has sauce table and some appetizers. Cucumbers, chicken feet's, peanuts etc Once we ask about the meal waitress mention this meal does not include soup and vegetables only meat. I'm not sure if it make sense as it is a hot pot restaurant. We ordered the pork bone soup and the rest are meats. Their meat are fatty but not bad, around 5 piece each plate. Shrimp are fresh which is a good thing as well. Just the promotion doesn't make sense and the staffs are not very friendly.

    Kelly T.

    My friend recommended this place after I told her we were craving hot pot. I'm a big fan of the overall quality of the food here. I have to highlight the sauce bar, because it had everything I wanted to make my sauce and then some. My favorite ingredient was the youtiao or chinese donut. So yummy and crispy even after dipping it into the broth. We came in on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't too busy in the restaurant. Service was very fast and it was a great place to have lunch. Like most hot pot restaurants, the ambiance was catered to groups. Looking forward to coming back again soon.

    Do they have ayce lunch now and how much?

    Not worth it. $20 for hotpot only, $24 for hotpot/skewers. Then you have to pay for the soup which is ~$10-15 and then sauce which is $3.50/per person but this is all not told to you beforehand. They were surprise charges

    What are current operating hours?

    Do they have All You Can Eat?

    Nope but one amazing thing about them is that they do have an all you can eat bar that includes small appetizers such as edamame and all kinds of sauces and condiments such as sesame oil garlic and green scallion. The bar usually has fruits such as…

There was ample free street parking one block to the South on South Delaware. We liked the restaurant because they are dog friendly. They have outdoor seating. The servers were great and brought water for our dog. The food was good. It was served quickly and was still hot. We ordered a kale salad ($17), the chicken souvlaki ($16) and a seafood paella ($39). We found the flavors to be good, but the chicken was incredibly dry. The paella was good. When we order paella, our favorite part is the crusty, flavorful part that is burned into the pan. Unfortunately, the paella at Bahche is served in a different pan than where it was cooked, so the crusty part is missing. The advantage for them to do it this way is that they can cook it in large batches and serve it quickly when ordered. Although we did kind of miss that component of the meal, we liked that they had both chicken and salmon in the paella, making it more substantial. They must have done a shift change when we were there. Some restaurants will introduce the new server, but we did not experience that during our visit. After we finished our meal, we had to wait awhile before our server appeared. It seemed unusual because the restaurant did not seem very busy at the time. It might have been because we were seated outside rather than in the dining room. Overall, we found Bahche to be a nice place for casual dining, especially if you have a dog.

I am not sure how to rate the food. The selection of seafood that you can pick was nice. Clams, mussels, shrimp and crawfish were the seafood picks you can do. Potatoes, sausage, corn were the free add on that you can do. I do not eat crawfish, which was also a seafood pick, so I can't review that. Everything was good. The shrimp was hit and miss, depending on the piece. They were peel and eat, but some shrimps were mushy meaning those shrimps were old. It was tolerable. Nothing that I haven't had before. I'll let it go for the price point they offer. The clam and mussels were good. As expected. The sausage, corn and potatoes were good as well. The place was pretty legit. The fried shrimp and fried chicken wings were amazing! Freshly fried, they were juicy and steaming on the inside, and crispy on the outside. Although the place was dead (it was a Wednesday after all), we did see a lot of people come in and pick up food to-go. Not sure if they were customers or drivers picking up for Doordash/Uber Eats. All in all, I would definitely come back to this place.
