Definitely a place I would love to go back. The place is spacious. A great place to bring family and family for a big reunion. You first walk in and the sauce bar is on the right hand side. There are multiple circular tables all around. Love the ambience of this place very homie.. There are so many options in the menu from beef to pork to lamb and more. There are even some on skewers as well that you can dip in the hot pot. You can choose two different type of broth. The place does close down after lunchtime and then reopen again for dinner so be mindful and plan accordingly. Lots of parking since it is in a major Asian plaza, but parking is still in major issue on the weekend. Overall, I am definitely coming back here to try more. read more

Long Men Bay Hotpot - Chinese Near Me - San Jose, California

Surprised to find a Chinese hotpot spot in Vietnam town. NOT AYCE When you walk in, server brings you to your table and you scan the QR code to order Recommend the beef brisket point if you don't mind the fat, its good! Fav meat out of the ones we tried. the shrimp ball stuffed with salted sea duck egg yolk was interesting. I don't recall seeing it at other places, so it was a must try for me. I like salted duck egg yolk, so it was good. Presentation and portion was good. Service is fast!!! Self-service sauce bar has a bunch of options for your sauce as well as snacks/appetizers. They had seaweed salad, fruit, kimchi, muscles, chicken feet, fried chicken, chips, flavored peanuts, and more!! Soup flavors were strong and good. Would recommend checking them out for interesting selections at a decent price! read more

Went on a Saturday evening and was able to get a table immediately. There are lots unique options on the menu that I haven't seen much of at other restaurants. It's not an all you can eat, but the quality of their ingredients was really good. We got half and half broth one where we asked for mild spice and it was super spicy! It got harder to eat throughout dinner because there was so much chili oil. The other broth was a pork broth that was not spicy, but delicious. The restaurant itself is pretty spacious. There is a sauce and sides bar, but you have to pay a few $ extra for that. I would come back again, but probably wouldn't order the spicy broth next time. read more

No complaints about this place. Good quality meat, delicious broths, and yummy options on the sauce bar and snack bar. My husband loves the fried chicken. I love that they offer some meat skewer options for hot pot. I was bummed MLBB Hot Pot closed down because that's where I went if I wanted skewer style hot pot, so I'm glad I have some meat skewer options here. Price is cheaper than Haidilao as others have said, and it's closer to home than our other favorite a la carte hot pot places, so I definitely will be frequenting here more often. read more

I'm so glad they opened this spot in San Jose, so I don't have to go to Newark. Imo these two locations scores similarly, but some friends still think the one in Newark tastes better. Another nice point about this new spot is that there's never a wait. Still considering this the best hot pot place, despite plenty of new addition to the South Bay hotpot scene. read more

So FYI it's not All You Can Eat, it's a set menu price on each individual item, which rounds out to be about 40 bucks per person. So on to the food review: The meats were delicious and tender. My favorite was the steak! The tofu was so tender and yummy, and the broth was so satisfying and flavorful. The customer service was awesome, they sat us down super fast and with ease! My beautiful wife is a wheelchair user, and they were very accommodating for her and that means so much to me. Price Point: 10/10 Quality of Food: 10/10 Overall: 20/10 read more

I'm always in the mood for hotpot, especially on a chilly day. This is one of my favorite Chinese hotpot places, and they've now opened a second location in San Jose, located in the Vietnam Town area. Both the broths and ingredients were delicious and comforting! Their side snack portions are generous too, and my favorites were cucumber salad, popcorn chicken, and the sliced oranges. The staff were friendly and the meal price was reasonable. read more

Hands down my favorite hotpot in this area. I brought friends who had the original Sichuan hotpot like this. They all say this is one of the closest tastes. I only was able to get one picture since everyone dived in real quick . Service is quick and efficient. They have a sauce bar where you can grabs dessert bites after. The restaurant is spacious, big tables, a few private tables. Food is fresh and they have a good variety of selections. Definitely give it a try. read more

I really loves the bar area for $3/person and this is not all you can eat so I loves it but the quality meat here is not that great! It is a Chinese hot pot located in Vietnam Town. Once enter you are to order by the barcode on the table. We order the 2 flavors soup base, the mushroom soup was good because the broth was deep pork broth, the spicy broth was not that great as somehow I taste lamb/sheep flavors in it which I don't likes those meats. I love the sauce bar area as the chicken feet was good, I would love to come here and eat the chicken feet and the desert itself if they let me without the hot pot! The bar had seaweed salad, chicken feet, Kim chicken, cucumber salad, fried chicken, peanuts, chips........ I like the jelly desert the most! I am not a hot pot person so the salad bar was great for me by itself! read more

If you don't want to run your entire wallet at hadilao but craving some delicious hotpot, definitely give this place a try. Located in Vietnam town you can find this amazing place that offers such a cheap alternative to expensive places like hadilao. Came here with my girlfriend and we got the pork broth and the Szechuan medium. The quality here is amazing, everything that we ordered tasted super fresh! There is also a self serve bar where you can get sauces for your hotpot or little appetizers such as wonton chips, clams, seaweed salad and much more. When you order, it's also through a QR code and you barely get to interact with any of the workers here. I would also suggest scanning the wait list QR code on my photos so y'all could join to beat the line ahead! read more

Their sauce bar concept is unique in that you can get more than just ingredients for your sauce. They have fried chicken, chicken feet, cooked beef cubes and various side dishes. That along with their delicious soup base makes this place one of my new favorites. Here's the quick lowdown: + Tonkotsu soup is popular and not at all spicy so my kids can eat (5/5) + Tomato soup is my kids favorite and has a sweet and tangy flavor (5/5) + Egg fried rice taste like you went to a hole in the wall Oakland Chinatown place back in the 90s (5/5) + Side dishes here are all delicious with my favorites in the following order of goodness: Pickled cabbage, cucumber, fried chicken/skin, beef cubes, fried wonton skin, edamame and peanuts (all 4/5) + Marbled beef is exactly what it is... perfectly marbled meat and thinly sliced for fast cooking (4/5) + Located in Vietnam Town where you can find dessert and many other food compliments (4/5) - The side bar pickled cucumbers were not replenished the entire time we were there (2/5) The clientele here is mainly Asians. I see plates of chicken feet from the sauce bar along with orders of marbled meat and tripe. Ambiance is casual with families and friends enjoying their hot pot meals. Parking is easy because not all of the shops are filled. My wife loves this place so easily 4.5 stars if you include her rating. read more

Long Men Bay Hotpot - Our hot pot meal (4/5) - Chinese Near Me - San Jose, California

Overall: haidilao but cheaper Affordable and tasty hot pot. We spent about $100 for a group of 4 and everyone was stuffed after. I like how they also have a sauce bar on top of the hot pot which include lots of side dishes such as: seaweed salad, check feet, cucumbers, kimchi, fried chicken, sesame balls, fresh fruit, and more!!! The serves don't really speak English so it was a little bit of a language barrier, although the entire experience is pretty seamless as you order via scanning a QR code on your phone. Bonus: I love how they have extra long chopsticks read more

We finally got to try the new hot pot place in Vietnam Town. Just a heads-up, this isn't Vietnamese hot pot, so speaking Vietnamese with the staff might not get you very far. I tried and it didn't work out, haha. It's actually a Chinese hot pot spot, and they have another location in Newark. You order everything through a QR code at your table, and there's a self-serve bar for appetizers, sauces, and desserts. It's $3 for the bar, and I'm not sure if it's optional, but honestly, it's a great deal. There's a wide selection including two types of chicken feet, clams, three kinds of Chinese-style sweet soups, fruits, and more. Make sure to try the peanuts at the bar. My wife loved them so much she wanted to take some home. They're savory with just a hint of sweetness. For our soup bases, we went with the medicinal chicken soup and the spicy butter broth. Just a note, the "medium" level for the spicy butter broth is actually very spicy, and I usually handle heat pretty well. It tastes good, but once you see the giant chunk of butter in there, you might not want to sip it like a regular soup. That's where the medicinal broth was a nice balance. The meat slices were really tender and felt high quality. The enoki mushrooms were also a favorite. I'd probably skip the skewers next time though. They look cool, but they were tough and not as enjoyable. It's a fun and flavorful new addition to Vietnam Town. Hopefully they build a solid customer base because it's definitely worth a visit. Expect around $50/pp after tax and tip. read more

FLAVOR (5/5): Holy, I think I found my new favorite hot pot spot in San Jose. Hands down get the chicken pork stomach soup it's super rich, not fatty and very comforting when it's cold! All their meat was very good quality! But really don't sleep on their side dishes / sauce bar / dessert bar. They have the BEST popcorn fried chicken that's included in your sauce price so it's all you can eat sides. The pickled chicken feet were spicy beware! The clams, cucumbers and other sides I also got multiple rounds of. They have some chinese soup dessert options and sesame balls which are great if you catch them putting them out right when they're fried! INSTAGRAM WORTHY (5/5): The interior is remodeled and very clean! The table spread is also very appetizing, they have met skewers, trays of ingredients and even a cart on the side to put your extra orders that can't fit on the table top! SERVICE (4/5): We had about a 10 minute wait on a weekday lunch, they cleared and set a table for us really quickly after a party left! They always came by to ask if we needed soup refills as well. TAKEAWAYS: Don't order too much hot pot ingredients because you'll want to go ham on the sides too. read more

This hot pot place is very popular among my friends and this is my first visit here, and perhaps the last. I can't say it's bad, but the soup base, the dishes, the dipping sauce, everything here is just okay level, nothing surprise at all. And the portion of dishes is small, while the price is high. read more

If you wanted a cheaper alternative to haidilao (and you just want the food and don't really need the service) then this place is a great option for you. Located in Vietnam town, this is a no frills hotpot place where you can get your hotpot fix. They have a comprehensive sauce bar and you order through a QR code. Service is fast and there's not much interaction with any of the servers. I really like the extra long chopsticks! I like the black belly and their spicy beef as well. I also like how they have fish roe balls! I think I missed those at haidilao, but it's really good. Their fried crispy pork is also really good. I have no complaints about the meat. I didn't get to try the fish though. Overall, I want to say this is like haidilao-lite. Just subtract the dancing noodles and mask changing performance and you get a way cheaper experience and you just get what you need. It's really good and I'll be back when I'm craving hotpot. read more

Decent food, felt like the sauce station was a bit neglected by the end of the evening. Don't expect much English. Good luck! read more

TL;DR: If the phrase "Haidilao but cheaper" wasn't already enough to compel you to come, come to also indulge in the generous and excellent sides. The Details: I came here with my wife and cousin on a Wednesday night around 7:30, so zero wait for our table. There's ample seating in the establishment with a clean modern interior. We did the half/half soup base of the medicinal chicken and slightly spicy, and ordered the shrimp paste, fried rice, beef / lamb combination platter, short rib, mushroom platter, napa, tongho, fish ball with roe, and of course the self-serve sauce bar. The medicinal chicken soup was lovely--very warming, with a strong but not overpowering herbal flavor. On the other hand, the slightly spicy broth was actually pretty spicy for me, and I'm able to handle spice pretty decently, so be warned! In retrospect, I wouldn't cook any vegetables in the spicy broth, haha. Each of the items we ordered was very tasty and fresh as well, and the meat had good texture. What stood out to me though was the generosity of their self-serve sauce bar, which also serves as a self-serve sides bar. They had fried chicken, clams, pickled cucumbers, seasoned wonton chips, sesame red bean balls--all unheard of to me that these things would be just laid out in an AYCE fashion. And they weren't haphazardly thrown together either--the fried chicken was crispy and tender; the clams weren't overcooked; the chips were savory; and the cucumbers were excellently seasoned. Throughout the meal we didn't interact much with our servers, but they were adequately attentive to our needs, refilling our water and broth, and overall amiable to interact with. Overall, this was a great experience and one I'll be recommending to my friends. read more

Saw this place was on soft opening while strolling through Vietnamtown. Quick search shows they already have a location in Newark with good reviews. Once you're seated, you order through QR code and scroll through their menu. Menu is pretty long, including 6 different broths to choose from, some very unique meat pieces, assortment of skewers (also for the hot pot), and some house special snacks. (Unique meats included duck blood, goose intestine, pork brain, beef stomach). Some of the menu has Chinese characters, so we had to google translate that it was spice levels for the broth. It costs $2.98 per person for access to the sauce bar. Sauce bar is covered with sliding screens, which I thought was nice to keep it a little more tidy. The sides we grabbed were some pickled veggies and even some cold clams, which we grabbed a lot of. There was also chicken feet. My favorite to see at the hot pot sauce bar is the mushroom sauce. We got the Spicy Butter Broth and Mushroom soup bases. The meats were nicely cut and not frozen. I think I would probably get a different broth than mushroom because eating the spicy was too overpowering for my palette. I did not like the liver skewers and I would probably not order the skewers again. All other meats were delicious. I just wish they had a sweet soy at the service bar (there's sugar but it's really not the same). I don't think I liked the Marbled beef. I would get the beef short rib. We didn't want to stray for any expensive meats today, but maybe we'll try it next time. There were fruits and some jellies for end of meal, but we were too full to get it. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Service was very fast, though we were only one of two tables dining that evening. The restaurant itself feels very new and clean. Pricing is fairly reasonable, though I hate to say about $100 is normal for two people now. Service - 5 / Ambiance - 5 / Food - 4 / Price - 4 read more

It took around 30 minutes to get 6 pieces of wings . The store was empty . I DO NOT RECOMMEND.

This was a very nice, clean restaurant for hot pot. We got the 2 soup base. One spicy and the other was pork and chicken...very much one of the better soup bases we have had in terms of richness of flavor, and it is no wonder as they actually have pieces of pork and chicken in it! The service was really good, though it was not as well coordinated as the raw meat cuts came before the soup bases, which then had to heat up to be ready. The side bar was very good, too. There was a very long line when we arrived and seemed to be a lot of customers ready. Great experience! read more

I came here at around 7:45 pm on a Friday night, and they happened to be cleaning a table, so my party of two sat down without adding ourselves to the online waitlist. You use a QR code to order items online. I got the split pot with Mushroom Soup and Pork Bone Soup. I would've ordered one broth, but I had to split it since I couldn't eat the one-broth spicy option they had. Since my spouse and I weren't super hungry, we ordered just the following for food: Supreme Lamb Shoulder, Napa Cabbage, Oyster Mushroom, and Enoki Mushrooms. Overall, the food was pretty good. All the mushrooms were fantastic, the Napa cabbage was good, and the lamb shoulder was just okay (maybe I am not a fan of shoulder?). We chose not get the sauce bar to make it a little healthier. Given that, I preferred the Mushroom Soup over the Pork Bone Soup because it tasted a little saltier. When I eventually got the check, they had automatically included the sauce bar as a charge. However, when I pointed it out, they removed the line item and reprinted the check. The service was nice and fairly attentive -- empty plates were taken away soon after we finished them. Overall, this is a pretty good place, and they did a decent job with reusables (though I was disappointed by the single-use water cups). The pot and table were a bit large for just the two of us, so this might be better fit for larger groups.

The meat quality here was good. We got the pork none broth and the hot spicy one. Spicy level was "mild" which was very hot still. The spicy broth was too spicy, we ended up pouring our water jug into it to dilute the water. The sauce bar had plenty to pick from, along with some side dishes/ appetizer. The service could have been a bit better, everything was done via QR code, so there was little interaction with the staff. You had to flag someone down to get a refill on water/ extra napkins and the one person that did check up on you was the person with the hot water kettle. Because I have been to other hot pot places, I already knew that you had to order through QR, but typically you have someone explain it to you and provide recommendations. This place was the old Little Lamb hot pot. read more

There were 6 of us and we split half and half pot. The spicy one is a lot more oily than I thought it would be. I tried black bean tofu (looks like a block of cement), which I don't like it. My friend does though. We ordered lots of meat and various fish balls. The shrimp paste was good, but not amazing. The sweet potato noodle was yummy. I mostly enjoyed the food in the spicy hotpot section. I didn't try much on the beef bone; however, everyone who didn't eat spicy food seemed to like it. read more

Saw that a new hot pot place opened in Vietnam town and had to try it. It was super busy when it first opened so you had to join the waitlist but it's okay now!

I had a fun experience trying this new place out. It's kind of like Hadilao along with alot of different skewer meats for your hotpot, and delicious tasting meat.

Really loved this spot! The hotpot was very authentic. Nice service as well. Prices were fair too,definitely a place I'd come back to.

We went to this restaurant before 2:30pm and server did not let us dine in telling us they already did last call. Very disappointed they should change the store hours, we had to drive for 20 mins just to come eat here. change the closing time 2:30 instead of 3 pm. read more

The service and explanation are a little bit lacking. You have to order via a QR code. We picked the slightly spicy and pork bone broth. Even the slightly spicy was way too much spicy. There is a very thick layer of chili oil on top of the broth. I'm not sure how it could be spicier. The pork bone broth was good. I ended up cooking some items in the "slightly" spicy broth and then rinsing it off in the pork bone broth. By the end of our meal there was a significant amount of chili oil layer on top of the pork bone broth. This was different than other hot hot spots that I've been to where you had to order every single thing individually, vegetables and the sauce bar. The servers were attentive to cleaning up our empty platters and refilling our broth. read more
