One of the best hot pot restaurants I've been to! The quality of the meat is great, and I actually prefer their à la carte pricing since you can order exactly what you want. It's not AYCE, but the portions are generous, and each order comes with a good variety and amount of veggies. I also loved their sauce bar. It was very clean, organized, and easy to use. Having the sauces dispensed from spigots is honestly genius. Another thing I appreciated was how deep the individual hot pot stoves are, instead of just being a flat surface. It helps minimize broth splatter and makes cooking at the table feel much more comfortable. FOOD: 9/10 SERVICE: 9/10 AMBIANCE: 9/10 Parking is hit or miss, as it is tucked in between both SFSU and Parkmerced apartments. read more

Visited on 6/13/26, Oh my god.... so yummy!! I heard there was usually a wait at Mumu's (no reservations unfortunately) but we walked in and got seated quickly. There's a self serve sauce bar where you can make your own combination -- I recommend trying the satay at this location; it added a nice, salty meaty flavor to the sauce combo I had. You can order through a QR code, and from there you're able to select the meats, toppings, and broth you want. It isn't AYCE, but I think the pricing and the quality of the ingredients make it all so worth it. Everyone gets their own individual pot and cooker. So for my broth, I chose the Tom Yum -- I personally don't really like the tartiness and tomato flavor of the broth but I enjoy its spice. I do wish they had a spicy miso option .. But everything else makes up for this imo!! We got the wagyu beef options, the toro was definitely a favorite -- they were all great quality and fresh. Wasn't too fatty, and had beautiful marbling on each slice that was perfectly thin for shabu. For sides, I chose quail egg, fried beancurd sticks, and fishball with roe. It offers you a source of carbs -- which I will always choose udon... *_* hehe Food did take a bit to come out but that was because we were a party of six, so I didn't mind the wait too much. But when it did come, I love how they give you more toppings in your order -- like the addition of veggies like napa cabbage, spinach, bok choy, and broccoli then mushrooms like enoki and shiitake! For the toppings we ordered, they always give such a generous amount which I can appreciate because the platter we ordered is for two people after all. Still, it can be a lot and filling. Inside, tables do get filled pretty quickly but everything is clean and slick-- it feels quite cozy and warm and makes for a great atmosphere and experience to have hot pot with your loved ones. I definitely would come back here again for solo dining or with friends/family! Do not skip out here .. ^_^ read more

Mumu Hot Pot - tomyum broth + combo platter - Hot Pot Near Me - San Francisco, California

Love this Mumu location. The interior is clean as always, and the service is great. Hardest part might be getting a table depending on the time of day, but the food comes out very quickly after you order. The classic combo for two can't be beat. My personal favorite is the house ramen here, the noodles are so chewy and bouncy when cooked properly! Their sauce bar offers such a wide variety of options, I always opt for a mixture of ponzu/minced garlic/green onion/sesame paste for something with a savory layered taste to it. This place is perfect to get your hot pot fix in if you're not looking for something too heavy. Everything is fresh, and I've never had any issues with ingredient quality. read more

Mumu Hot Pot - The Classic - Hot Pot Near Me - San Francisco, California

First, I just want to say the interior design is so up my alley, rustic brown and beige. I came on a Monday night with one of my best friends and we were seated right away (we did have a Yelp res though). We ordered the Classic Combo for two, which came with, 2 soup bases, 3 meats, 3 sides, 2 noodles/rice, and 1 large veggie platter. & honestly, it was WAY too much food for the two of us, so it was definitely worth the price of $75! The broth was so flavorful and the wagyu quality was amazing. I also love how the pot is in the table so we don't have to reach so high to eat. The servers were super attentive and constantly came by to refill our water and soup bases without us even asking. They also have a self-serve sauce bar where you can customize your own dipping sauce, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend this place!! read more

Got the single's meat set with sukiyaki broth (yum), wagyu beef chuck eye roll (yum), tilapia (good but would probably try something else next time), rice cakes, and udon noodles. I love that they also have a dipping sauce bar so you can make your own ponzu or soy sauce concoctions to your liking. I wish they gave more meat but I do enjoy that they give you lots of veggies and sides. Service was okay but kind of slow and they didn't bring our broth until they brought out the meat (usually places bring the broth first so it can boil before your meat arrives). Ambiance was very noisy because of a few screaming/crying kids but overall clean and parking was plentiful. I think this location is new. read more

Mumu Hot Pot - wagyu beef chuck eye roll - Hot Pot Near Me - San Francisco, California

Walked in hungry, walked out borderline defeated. The meat quality here is the main event--thin slices, heavy marbling, cooks in seconds and just melts. You can tell it's not the cheap stuff. Broth options hit too, especially the spicy one--actually has depth, not just heat. What I liked most: everything feels dialed in. Clean setup, fast service, no waiting around awkwardly while your pot boils. Staff keeps things moving without hovering. Sauces bar is dangerous. Easy to overdo it, but when you get it right, it upgrades everything. Only warning--pace yourself. It's one of those spots where you keep throwing in "just one more round" and suddenly you're done. Solid 5. Would come back and make the same mistake again. read more

I really like mumu hot pot so was super excited when they opened one in SF! I don't have to drive down to South Bay anymore. I usually get the yuzu shio broth for a light and refreshing broth. I have come to realize I tend to go for more beef than other proteins for hot pot and really like the short rib and the wagyu. It's nice because you get your own pot but can do a combo for two people to share the meat and vegetables. Had the shrimp paste add on and the fish add on, both of which were pretty good! The sauce bar is also pretty well stocked. I mainly keep my sauce pretty simple with garlic, green onion, cilantro, and ponzu but they have all the classic sauces including chili oil, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame sauce, sesame oil, ponzu, soy sauce, vinegar, sweet soy sauce, and even mushroom sauce. Also had no idea when I went the first time, but on my second visit, I realized that there is also a back seating area for this location! I did street parking near SF state but it looks like they're also having a parking lot around here... not sure about this part yet. Pretty attentive staff from both visits so far. read more

Mumu Hot Pot - Hot Pot Near Me - San Francisco, California

Not AYCE but generous portions and fresh ingredients make Mumu a must hit Hotpot spot! Ive been to the Foster City location but it was my first time at this location. Easy to find free street parking around, location feels super clean, new, and updated. Easy to order through our phones, food came out quickly. For 3 people, we ordered a combo for 2 and a single, and split it all. There was plenty of food for everyone, and even a little leftover! We all got our own pots of soup as well. Sauce bar was fresh and lots of options. Definitely recommend for your Hotpot fix around the city! read more

Loved Mumu hot pot!! I've been on the hunt for a great hot pot place for vegetarians and this definitely fit the bill!! I got the vegetarian combo for one and wow was it a lot of food! I got the tomato soup base and it was really flavorful! They had a good selection of sauces too which paired well with everything. My favorite item in the combo was the tofu skin! My favorite part of this place is all the soup bases are for individuals so I don't feel like I have to disturb my meat eating friends :) Highly recommend this place for vegetarians!! read more

It was my first time at this location and 0 complaints! There is plenty of parking where this is located.

The service was quick as well. read more

Mumu Hot Pot - Hot Pot Near Me - San Francisco, California

Convenient and fast service hot pot spot with everything you would need for a great hot pot experience! My friend and I went on a Friday afternoon and got The Classic combo ($75). The portions are plenty and definitely enough for two people to eat until they're full. We got these meats and sides: 1. Meats: lamb, wagyu, chuck eye -good portion of meat, thinly sliced, fresh -definitely should dip the meat in a sauce!! (You can make your own sauce at their sauce bar) 2. Sides: tofu skin, udon, cabbage, tofu, mushrooms, fish balls with roe, choy sum, broccoli and cauliflower -sides were fresh and clean, let them soak up the flavor of the broth 3. Soup bases: tom yum and creamy tomato -tom yum has a sour taste with a slight spiciness, good if you like sour soups -tomato base had a strong tomato flavor and was light, great if you prefer less spicy bases The inside of the restaurant feels clean and well-lit, and the seats were cushioned. It was also easy to ask for more broth and more water from the waiters. Ordering is also easy, as you order using a QR code (instead of a paper menu) and pay online. I think this restaurant can further improve by posting their menu clearly on a wall and decorating the walls with more art. I would also love for them to expand their sauce bar options to include fried garlic and dry peanuts. Overall, I was very satisfied with the food and would come here again if I was craving hot pot! read more

You walk in and find the sauce bar in front. We got seated in the back as we were 10 people. The menu works this way $75 for two people and comes either way 3 sides, 4 meats, and 2 noodles or rice. You chose the broth with one per person. This was my friends mom's first time. She didn't know how to make a sauce nor how to choose broth so she was a bit confused. The flavor was good but I'm not sure I'd go again. The atmosphere was bright lights everything is bright. read more

I love the Sunnyvale location and had no idea they also have one in SF near SFSU. The location is very spacious with plenty of tables. Parking can be a bit annoying though. The menu is a la carte or you can choose a combo (my recommendation). The two of us got a "Mumu Combo" and felt it was more than enough food. It comes with 4 meats and PLENTY of vegetables. I opted for the Sichuan Spicy broth, which definitely lives up to the name. My boyfriend got the sukiyaki broth, which was a bit too sweet and we would not get again. read more

Mumu Hot Pot - Hot Pot Near Me - San Francisco, California

It's not the most authentic hot pot experience but I'm into it. Good for kids and groups, the meat trays are immaculate. I am partial to the beef short rib cut. I love that there's green peppercorn sauce at the sauce bar. My only knock is that they don't offer more vegetable variety: broccoli, bok choy, napa cabbage, spinach. The mobile ordering system works really well and feels seamless. Pro tip: order the winter melon lemonade and a sparkling water and mix them together for a perfect thirst quencher to the spicy Sichuan broth. read more

Delicious halal options and the best part in my opinion is you each get your own hot pot so if one person eats halal and another in your party doesn't, there is no cross contamination. Kid friendly and great service. Always busy, so try to come early if you wanna get a table at a peek hour read more

I like this hot pot spot better than the one in in stones town. Better options for sauces and seasonings. Decent service, it's always crowded so even if it's just a party of 2 it might take a while. A worthwhile experience. Sometime it takes a while to get a server though. read more

Mumu Hot Pot - Hot Pot Near Me - San Francisco, California

I got the single combo with sukiyaki broth, short ribs (meat), with udon noodles, and I chose two sides (quail eggs and fish ball with roe). The base price was $33. The restaurant has a large condiment/ sauce bar, which I always enjoy - it had all the classics from green onion, sesame sauce, chili oil, etc. I parked for free in the neighborhood but i guess there is a parking garage in the building! I enjoyed my dinner here. I had leftovers and was able to take the veggies/ cooked meat home. It was a bright, open space with large windows, so a good place to catch up with friends. Standard, good hotpot! read more

Mumu Hot Pot - Hot Pot Near Me - San Francisco, California

Hello I have eaten here particularly Pleasanton location numerous times like now I have lost the count. The food is Great n service too. But lately I noticed the cutlery the use is of melamine which is highly toxic to our health and has also been banned in many countries. They should take care of the utensils customers dine in. Because pouring steaming hot food on plastic ware is highly highly toxic and thats too Melamine. And above the bar area , the chimney is so dirty that the small particles keeps coming onto my plate. I m very particular on how I eat my food. Unfortunately I have to stop eating there though it was one of my fav place to eat , until they do the needful changes. Thankyou Neeru. read more

The set menu for two was enough for my friend and I. The meat is so high quality that I would come back again! read more

Hotpot around SF STATE with set menu. For a price of $75, a bit pricey especially since the surrounding area is mostly college students. The set menu is recommended for 2 people, you get 3 meats, veggie platter, and 2 small noodle or rice. I believe you should at least get a full size noodle or rice. Mango soju is good to share amongst a few people, does not taste like alcohol, so be careful. Sauce bar has a great assortment of ingredients to build a delicious sauce: chili oil, cilantro,soy sauce, green onion, peanut sauce, sesame oil is a great combo. The meat quality is higher in grade than other hotpot places. If you want more meat in your combo, it is $20 for 12 pieces of meat. Standard service, did pour hot water when my soup was getting low. The interior is super clean and modern, better ventilation than most hotpot places. read more

This place hit. The. Spot! It is also huge! Massive windows which brings in lots of natural light. The entrance brings you into a primary front room but they have a back eating area off to the back right as well. There was a party of 12 when we came in, so they're definitely well suited for a party! You can scan the QR code on the table to pull up our menu. There was a lot of reviews about lack of service, but honestly we had great service. Our server brought over the iPad and walked us through all the options and his recommendation. He also offered to get us our sauces too. There was a review about needing to pay before which meant you had to tip before, but you can actually choose to pay later, in case you wanted to add more, we kept it open then tipped at the end. The meat lovers combo is where it's at. Your choice of 2 broths, 3 meats, and 2 noodle types. It comes with loads of veggies but I am obsessed with enoki mushrooms so we added extra on for $6 and the winter melon for $6. The portions of udon and ramen were fairly small, so if you want something closer to a bowl of udon or ramen, I'd recommended getting extra add on. It's a huge portion of food. We had to waffle out after but it was delicious. Meat quality was impressive. They even had a wagyu option we went with. This'll definitely be our new spot. read more

After having a 5-star experience at Mumi Hot Pot in Emeryille, we want to try a location closer to the peninsula. Our first experience was with the super limited parking in the area due to the residential neighborhood near SFSU. Walking in, it was more quaint than the Emeryville location, fairly empty at 1pm on a Wednesday. We also couldn't help to notice the stacks of dirty plates in the bussing boxes throughout our meal in the dining area (affecting the ambience a bit). Ordering was simple via QR, as the other location. However, many of the side options we were looking forward to (fish tofu, treasure bags) were not available. When we asked the staff, they showed us the physical menu and noticed many of the items scratched/taped over, making it feel like this location offered a lot less. Otherwise, the food was great and the staff was attentive to refill water. While the broth tasted slightly more watered than I remember, the meat is top notch quality, and the combo had more than enough to give us our fill. Sauce bar has your basic essentials and was included (unlike happy lamb...) It wasn't an overall bad experience, but we are more looking forward to check out the Foster City location or just return back to Emeryville for a more welcoming ambience, availability of menu items, and easier navigating/parking. read more

For around $33 you can get a whole individual hotpot with your choice of meat along with a good serving of vegetables and starch.

I've been to the other Mumu locations. I loved how bright this location was inside. The server was super nice, and everything we had was really good. The meat quality at mumu is the best, the sauce bar has great options, and I love the variety of veggies they offer. One of the meats we ordered was just okay--not sure which one it was, but it was more round, a bit thicker, and it had a strong meaty taste that threw me off. Other than that, everything else hit the spot. Parking could be a little tricky, but there is a parking garage. Overall, mumu is a top tier hotpot spot! read more

We got to Mumu Hot Pot and there was a bit of a wait, but no big deal. We added our name to the waitlist and drove over to Pop Mart at Stonestown to pass the time. By the time we got back, our table was ready. We ordered the Meat Lover set for 2, and it's totally worth it. You get three meat choices, a big veggie platter, your pick of two soup bases, and two sides (rice or noodles). The portions were generous. Don't skip the sauce station, they have a full setup so you can customize your perfect dipping sauce. This is hands down my favorite non-AYCE hot pot spot in the city. Quality over quantity, and it always hits. read more

Mumu Hot Pot - Hot Pot Near Me - San Francisco, California

Set menu is a little pricey, but you are paying for the nice location with its modern and clean interior. I'd recommend getting "The Classic", because it seems to beat most other combos in terms of value. I really like the flavor of the soup bases. I recommend the Tom Yum soup base, and I usually order: Angus, Chuck-eye, and Lamb. For sides, I recommend Udon and Fried Bean Curd Rolls. I also recommend the Passion Fruit Orange Iced Tea. It's only four stars because it's expensive when compared to all-you-can-eat Hot Pot (can be had for about the same price in the S. Bay), and occasionally the meat has a stronger "beefier" taste which is not always as tasty. Service is always fine. You order on the app and they bring it to you with minimal interaction. read more

First time ever trying hot pot and Mumu did not disappoint one bit, as you can tell by my aftermath photo I included! I highly recommend their single combo as it comes with your choice of meat, a whole bunch of veggies, and you get to choose two more sides of your choice from a list with various options. You could honestly even share the single combo with one other person because of the amount of food you get. I personally got their sukiyaki broth, and it was delicious, but I was able to try my friend's tom yum broth and that was perfectly sour and savory and just a tad spicy. I can't wait to try more of their broths. Also the fact they have a section where you can make your own dipping sauce was AMAZING, and the huge amount of minced garlic was everything. The interior is bright and spacious. Staff is attentive and kind. Try this spot asap, especially if you haven't ever tried it before! The menu may be a little overwhelming, but take your time and ask staff for help! read more

**To Management: please bring back the Green Pepper broth!!!** Mumu Hot Pot is my favorite hot pot restaurant so I was ecstatic when they opened one in SF! They have a sauce bar with sauces and dips that other hot pot places don't have, namely the mushroom and green pepper/chili sauces. It's a bit pricey but the meat quality makes it worth it. The wait can be pretty long at this location during peak dinner hours (7 - 8PM) but if you come a bit earlier, it should be fine. There is free parking around the corner in the garage of the building (the gates are not in service and doesn't seem like it ever will be). There is plenty of seating in the different corridors of the restaurant (inner vs outside) and there is a sauce bar for each section. One thing I dislike about Mumu is that they are constantly changing their menu. They've changed their menu a few times in the past couple years and have gotten rid of my favorite soup, Green Pepper! Please bring it back :( It's not the same without it since the other spicy broths are too oily. I don't see myself coming back here often anymore now that my favorite broth is gone. read more

Great food and very quick service. First time here and will be back 10/10. So many options and very quick

Mumu's hot pot isn't AYCE, but because of that, they have better meat quality. Hidden underneath a new apartment building in Parkmerced, owned by SFSU, Mumu's interior is a minimalist aesthetic with their own DIY sauce stations and each individual having their own hot pot. I'm happy that this place is so close to home. When I mentioned it to my bf that this was around, he got upset at me for gatekeeping from him! Mumu's is nice because you don't need to interact with the servers much, as you order/pay everything through the QR code located on the table. If you find it hard to find signal, their WIFI password is also located w/ the QR code. You have the option of ordering a combo or a la carte. CK & I always order the Meat Lover's combo because you get 2 soup bases, 2 rice/noodle, 3 meats, and 1 veggie platter. They have a combo for single's and people who prefer seafood or vegetarian as well. For broth so far, I've tried the Sichuan Spicy (pretty good) and Buttery Spicy (very spicy and greasy). For meats, we always select the wagyu beef toro, prime black angus beef short ribs, and Australia M9 chuck eye. The veggie platter (large) comes with napa cabbage (uncut), spinach, tofu, taro, fried tofu, kabocha pumpkin, mushrooms (enoki, king oyster, beech. shiitake, etc), rice cakes, and many more. Everything is always delicious and can't wait to come back! read more
