The food was very delectable! Service was pretty fast and nice, since the restaurant was empty at the time. Waiters asked to refill water and broth all the time! I didn't need to ask. The place was pretty clean, including the bathrooms. read more

Mumu Hot Pot is easily one of my favorite hot pot spots in the Bay Area! The selection is endless, and the sauce bar is huge with plenty of options to customize your perfect dipping sauce. Everything inside is always clean and well-maintained, and the wait time is usually only around 15-20 minutes, which isn't bad considering how popular it is. If you're planning to visit, I'd definitely recommend going with two or more people to get the most out of the experience and try a wider variety of items. One of my personal favorites is the oolong tea--it pairs perfectly with the meal. The meats are always fresh and high quality, and I appreciate that the vegetables are well-stocked, fresh, and prepared nicely. They definitely aren't stingy with the veggie selection! When it does come to the sauces sometimes when during peak hours they will run out with certain ingredients like soy sauce, garlic, sesame oil so forth.. but usually it's pretty stocked when I come in during the evenings. One thing that really stands out is that everyone gets their own individual hot pot, which is a feature I love and don't see very often at other hot pot restaurants. It makes the experience much more personalized and convenient. The only thing to keep in mind is that it gets very busy, especially in the evenings, and parking can be a bit challenging during peak hours. Even so, it's absolutely worth the visit and remains one of my go-to hot pot spots in the Bay Area. read more

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

We come to Mumu at Oakridge Mall so many times; it's like our second home. Each time we come, the wait is reasonable - even during peak times. We always order a set for two which is more than enough food for my husband and me. I tend to need a wheelbarrow to cart me out of here. The Tom Yum soup base is my favorite as it's subtle citrus flavors compliment the quality meat and the fresh vegetables. My favorite is the sauce bar where they recommend popular combinations (customizable) to highlight the soup base and food. I look at the ingredients as vehicles to get more of the soup and sauces in my belly! Today I had the passion fruit margarita on a hot day and it was refreshing, casting summer vibes. The restaurant is always clean and the staff is friendly every time. We always bring guests and everyone walks away full, fat, and happy as we plan our next visit. I highly recommend this place and am always excited to introduce someone to this location. read more

Mumu Hot Pot - The sauce bar recipe recommendations. - Hot Pot Near Me - San Jose, California

I have a go-to hot pot spot that was closed during my latest craving, so I decided to venture out and give Mumu Hot Pot a try. It was midday on a Monday, and we were surprised by how busy the restaurant was. There were several large, corporate-looking parties, so we assumed there must be an office nearby. I started with the oolong tea topped with cream, and it was honestly one of the best oolong drinks I've had. Sometimes oolong can come out too bitter, but this had the perfect amount of sweetness and paired really well with the saltiness of the cream top. One thing I really appreciated was the ordering system. We were able to scan a QR code and order directly from our phones, which made everything super efficient. I was able to easily close out my tab and even use Apple Pay. We ordered the Meat Lovers Combo, which came with two soup bases, two carb choices (I went with the udon), and three different meat selections. It was very filling and definitely the best way to try a variety of meats. I also loved that they had a self-serve sauce bar. I use a ton of ponzu whenever I eat hot pot, so being able to refill as much as I wanted without having to flag someone down was a huge plus. The service was fairly hands-off since most of it iself-serve or phone-based, but the staff was still attentive and quick when it came to delivering food and checking in when needed. Overall, a solid 9/10 for me. I'll definitely be back. read more

For the longest time, my favorite hot pot spot in San Jose was One Pot. Definitely was my go to but after trying Mumu, I am turning the page. First of all, the space is so beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. Have you ever seen a hot pot place that looks like a pilates studio? It is such a wonderful addition to Oakridge mall, though a bit random, I love it. There is plenty of parking out front and also a nice outdoor seating area. Now for the fun part! There are many different combos to order but whenever I go here, I always go with another friend so we share the combo for 2 which includes 3 meats, 2 broths, 2 veggie platters, and 3 sides for such a great deal. Now i'd have to say i don't love any of the broths.. I've tried tomato, miso, and yuzu shio. Nothing wrong with the broths but I usually like a pork bone broth. Either way, it's probably better I don't like the broths because I always drink too much of it and wake up puffy the next day! The meat quality is really good and I love how you can make your own sauce combos. The sides are nice. because you can get tofu skin or quail eggs. Everything here feels very generous at a really good price. Because the restaurant is so spacious, I feel like there is little to no wait every time I go. A big big plus. I'm bringing all my friends and family here when we are craving hot pot! read more

I have visited Mumu a few times now, and it's honestly a house favorite. Despite this location being at Oakridge mall, I love the aesthetics here and how yummy the food is. Please note that RSVP is through the phone! I LOVE their outdoor seating area, it's super spacious and honestly such a vibe for eating hotpot outdoors. The staff here are super chill and kind, though for the most part you're ordering through an iPad/ QR code and the sauce bar is self served. OKAY THE FOOD: * Sukiyaki Broth: my all time favorite broth, and I LOVE this broth here. It goes well with all cuts of meat and veggies. * Tom Yum Broth: My partner's favorite broth here, and he comes here more often than me! * The Classic Set: This is probably the best option if you're going with a party of 2. There's plenty of veggies, and the meat portions are pretty large though we like to add another meat cut for funsies. * Passion Fruit Orange Tea: Hear me out, this is SUCH A REFRESHING tea. I'm not the biggest passion fruit lover, but my goodness do I love getting this drink with my meal. read more

TLDR: I appreciated that it's a hotpot place with various broths for varying taste buds and preferences, you don't see this super often. It felt like there was a broth for every single person. I appreciated the sets made for 2, but will say that for the price, I'd rather go to an AYCE spot for the same price (more details down below). The sukiyaki was flavorful, the meats were pretty decent quality, and the veggie platter had plenty for the both of us. I'd say the only reason I give it a 3.5-4/5 is because of the food portion to price. Food: 4/5 We ordered The Classic which came with 2 soup bases (both got sukiyaki), 3 meats (prime black angus beef flat iron, Australian M6-7 wagyu beef chuck eye roll, Australian M6-8 wagyu beef toro), 3 sides (fish tofu, shell less shrimp, idr the last side), 2 noodles/rice (we went with udon noodles), and 1 large veggie platter. We opted for noodles and then on the side ordered 2 orders of rice ($2 each) so that we were able to get both. it was a solid amount fo read more

So glad to have a nice hot pot restaurant in the neighborhood! When you walk in, it's bright and spacious and service is really great too. We did ask for a menu and we started checking off the boxes but then no one came, so just ordered off the QR code on my phone. We ordered the classic for 2 and a single for the 3 of us. 3 orders of the beef short ribs and 1 Wagyu beef chuckeye roll. Our broths were Tom Yum, Sukiyaki and mushroom for me. For the sides we ordered tendon, tripe, shrimp, fresh beancurd roll, and cuttlefish. It was a lot of food and appreciated the sauce bar that had a ton of variety. Sesame with some ponzu and chili oil is my favorite! But also liked the side chili sauces that I also added to the very umami and yummy mushroom broth. The meat portions were larger than I expected and the beef short ribs was so tender. The chuckeye roll was a bit chewy and wouldn't order this one in the future. Lots of veggies and the sides were all very good though we wouldn't order the tendon again in the future as it was just too thick and the other sides were tastier. It was a lot of food and even took some of it home. To finish off with udon, it was a very hearty meal. Will definitely be back in the near future! read more

ordered the classic for 2 people. it comes with 2 soup bases, 3 types of meat, 3 sides, 2 noodles, and 1 veggie platter, which comes out to $75 pre tip/tax. it's kind of pricey, but the amount that you get is plentiful and you will come out full and satisfied. i highly recommend the tom yum soup base, it is SOOOOO YUMMY. i think about it a lot. the establishment is clean and spacious. the service is quick, and the staff seem nice. read more

Our new go to spot for hot pot, amazingly kids friendly. This place is so clean. and I have always wanted to try it. Service are really good, they add our water really often. Food are pretty good.

Came to MuMu Hot Pot and overall I'd say it's a solid spot, especially for the price. The set for two gives a pretty generous amount of meat and veggies and the beef was surprisingly tender and good quality. That said, the veggies were the weak point. They didn't feel super fresh or clean. The bok choy still had noticeable grit and dirt on it and didn't seem thoroughly washed. The sauces were pretty standard, nothing memorable. The fish cake and tofu skin also felt underwhelming compared to other hot pot places. Service could definitely improve too. We never got a second round of napkins and had to repeatedly ask for broth refills. Beer felt overpriced and I was hoping it was draft, but it didn't taste like it. Overall, decent value and worth trying if you want affordable Taiwanese hot pot with good meat quality, but compared to some other Taiwanese hot pot franchises, it didn't stand out enough for me to put it near the top. read more

Really enjoyed the experience here. The restaurant has a nice modern vibe and the staff was super attentive the whole time. The meat quality was great and the sukiyaki broth had a lot of flavor. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for hot pot. read more

Friends wanted to meet here for hotpot. I liked that they have individual pots. We ordered the classic set for 2 $75 Chuck roll, short rib and pork. We added on a set for 1 $33. Soup base: Mushroom was a little bland. Miso was salty. Sichuan spicy was spicy mala. Our favorite. Meat: Short rib and chuck rolls were good. Pork was ok, I wouldn't order it again. Veggies: good assortment. Sides: tiger shrimp, fish roe balls, fish tofu were all good. Sauce bar was had a big variety. Luckily we put our name down around 5:30 and only had to wait a few minutes for our table. read more

Out of all the Bay Area locations, this one is definitely my favorite. The restaurant is huge, has plenty of seating, offers ample parking, and is conveniently located next to the mall, making it the perfect place to walk off all the food afterward. Mumu is a spot I return to often because of the quality of their broths and meats, especially for the price. I usually order the Mumu Special for Two with the Sichuan broth. My go-to meat selections are the chuck eye roll, beef toro, and short ribs. For sides, I never skip the quail eggs, tilapia, and fish balls with roe. They also have a make-your-own sauce bar, which allows you to customize your meal exactly how you like it. Service is always quick and efficient. We're typically seated right away, and ordering is easy through your phone. In fact, the food is often arriving at the table by the time you return from making your sauces. The quality of the ingredients is excellent. The meats are soft, tender, and practically melt in your mouth, while the flavorful broth infuses every vegetable and topping with delicious flavor. This location is also fairly new, featuring a bright, spacious dining room that gives it a modern and upscale feel. I highly recommend giving this location a try. Between the quality ingredients, great value, and beautiful space, it's easily one of my favorite hot pot restaurants in the Bay Area--and I'll definitely keep coming back. read more

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

Pricey but fair! Self service scanned menu type ordering. South SJ has limited hotpot spots so I find myself coming here often. There are better hotpot's in the general South Bay. The meal for 2 at $75 always is plenty, we leave stuffed. 3 choices of meat and 3 sides. Cocktails are good, haven't tried many, but so far they've been fine. Nice vibes inside, clean and bright. Can be a little loud at times when busy. Wait is typically long. No check in ahead option is a bummer, but it's easy to kill time wandering the mall if you go during shopping hours! Don't miss the call, waitlist is long so you'll get bumped if you miss it( made that mistake once lol). read more

I've only had this place one other time in Livermore but it wasn't anything notable however, I stumbled upon this location when I was getting my nails done in Oakridge mall. It was around dinner time when I was done so why not give it another shot. For a party of 2, the wait was around 25-35 minutes around 8PM. The way they designed the inside of the restaurant is very modern and does not look like a hotpot spot at all, I was thoroughly impressed. You order all on a QR code on the table. The set for 2 was just enough food for the both of us and came with veggies as well. They also had pretty affordable options when it comes to the averages of how much hotpot is nowadays. The food itself was AMAZING. I was shocked by the quality of the meat along with the portion. You can tell they get their meat from quality places. The broth options are also really great, we got the Tom Yum and Szechuan which were both packed with flavor and just enough seasoning. The service was also really great! They came with our food and drinks almost immediately after ordering. Safe to say I will be making this a staple in my hotpot places! read more

This place was highly recommended to me by friends. Pros: clean interior, iPad ordering, good selection sauce bar, yummy broths, good quality meat cuts. Cons: it could just be cuz i came on a holiday weekend but our table was seated fairly early after opening and it took a really long time (15-30mins) to get our drinks/meats/ and veggies. For the mamas: there's high chairs and a bathroom with a baby changing table. :) Worth the hype, kinda expensive but I enjoyed my meal. read more

I am extremely disappointed with my recent experience at MuMu Hot Pot. During our visit on Sunday, February 22nd. We initially paid for the meal through the MuMu App and it posted to my account. We were then told they didn't receive it despite, it being taken out of my account. Then, the host asked to put it on a physical card. I was curious why the process was taking so long, come to find out the associate accidentally charged us for the wrong table. A meal we didn't have, a table that was not for us. Despite being explicitly assured that the charges would not go through and would drop off, three separate unauthorized transactions have now fully posted and cleared my bank account. I have already reached out to management to request a full refund for these errors but have yet to see a resolution. It is deeply concerning to be charged for someone else's meal and then have those funds taken after being told otherwise. I hope the management takes this seriously and processes the necessary refunds immediately. I will update this review once the situation is corrected. read more

My favorite hotpot place in the bay! The soup bases here are what really brings mumu hotpot to 5 stars. If you love, tangy, go with tom yum or shio yuzu If you want something a little more mild/healthy, try the mushroom base. The favorite protein amongst my friends is the toro! I'm usually a pork girly but the toro here is queen. This mumu is situation at the mall so there's a lot of parking but it can get busy. read more

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

My kids decided to go to a new hot pot place because the weather was cold and gloomy. I'm so glad we did. Mumu Hot Pot at Westfield Oakridge Mall was a huge hit. We weren't seated right away because our group of 6 was not complete. But since we came late lunch, as soon as everyone arrived we were seated immediately. The decor in the restaurant was tan, cream colored and marble. Which I thought was very relaxing. While my 11 year old son said it needed some color and greenery. wow. The music was nice, upbeat and modern and not very loud so we can talk to each other and still hear our conversations. I ordered the Sukiyaki soup base for me & my son to share. My daughter ordered creamy tomato soup base and the boyfriend's ordered TomYum. My other daughter ordered Sichuan Spicy. What's great is that I got to try all their soups and it was all SOOO good! You can't go wrong with any of them. At least I know I can try a different soup base next time. I highly recommend the shrimp ball with salted egg yolk. That was a big hit with everyone. Also the quail eggs as you get 10 of them which is quite a good portion. If you share with the table, everyone gets to try it. We ordered black angus beef short ribs, wagyu beef chuck eye roll & wagyu beef toro. All were very tender and delicious. The make your own sauce bar was amazing with all the great spices, sauces and flavor and compliments the meats, seafood & veggies perfectly. My son put his house ramen noodles in a bowl, added his own sauce and enjoyed his late lunch. I'm disappointed they don't serve wine, but ordered a margarita which was still pretty good. Will be back for some more good eats. read more

Pretty solid! Came on a Friday night at 6 and was a 20 min wait or so. Definitely got busier around 7. We got the Meat Lover combo, added on an additional soup and it was plenty for 3 (girls lol) I found the broths to be alright. Sukiyaki was a bit sweet for my liking. Miso and Yuzu shio were alright as well. Meats were of high quality, the toro being my fave. They have an awesome sauce bar, lots of choices to build your ultimate dipping sauce. Service was good and inside was warm and modern. read more

Quality hot pot! It is definitely on the pricer side sides they aren't AYCE, but the set for 2 was enough to satisfy me and my partner. Highlights: -super flavorful soup.

If you are to get 1 thing from here get this!!! I've been obsessed with these ever since I discover them here Only things I would adjust here is if the could cut the meat prices in half. I found they were on the larger side and I was constantly breaking them apart to make it more bite size read more

Very "pretty" inside, the interior is just overall 5/5, and very clean. There are a lot of stafffs and everyone is extremely kind and helpful. The food, just okay.

They do not cheap out on the veggies though. read more

I love Mumu! I got the Wagyu Beef Chuck Eye Roll with Sukiyaki broth. I love the huge box of vegetables that comes with the singles meat option. I also appreciate how much comes with the "2 sides" you choose. If you get quail eggs and fish balls with roe, you get like 5 each! The serving is always too big for me, so I usually get an extra meal out of my leftovers. They also have a sauce bar and recipes that you can follow to mix them together. The restaurant itself is very aesthetic with comfy booth seats and chair seats. The service is just "scan a QR code" and you also pay on your phone, so it is not stellar but good for the convenience aspect. Bathrooms are like fancy airplane (gender neutral single stalls) with communal sinks. read more

Other staff were also going around offering extra napkins and water refills. Definitely recommend their green grape tea from their drink menu! it's super refreshing. read more

First time at Mumu Hot Pot and it was a great experience. The resturant is pretty big and very modern looking. There was a pretty long line but it moves pretty fast. We were 14 in line and got seated within 30 mins. You could smell the food as soon as you walked in, which honestly made me super hungry haha! The service was good and they were all really helpful with all the questions we had. You order on your phone and can pay before hand too which was nice. The bathroom was interesting in a good way. It's a gender-neutral setup with separate stalls, which I'm not really used to, but I actually liked the open and modern look. Omg the food was so filling. We ordered the classic which honestly was enough for three people. My favorites were the toro and wagyu. The meat was so soft, and the toro was fatty and delicious. The meat quality was pretty high. Definitely coming back with my parents! read more

Mumu Hot Pot - The classic with extra enoki - Hot Pot Near Me - San Jose, California

Mumu is my favorite hot pot spot in the area! I was excited to see they opened one at Oakridge that tasted the exact same and is consistent with their Sunnyvale location. The ambiance here is very different than their other locations and is much more modern and almost luxurious for hot pot. I always get the Meat Lovers Combo as it's a great deal with 3 meats, 2 broths, veggie platter, and 3 toppings. It's more than enough to share between two people, I've never not had leftovers. Their tomato broth is my favorite, once I ordered this I've never ordered any other broth after so I would highly recommend it. I've taken multiple different friends here and we have all agreed that the quality of the meat is top tier as it's super tender and the slices are pretty big. The sauce bar is also my favorite here, it has everything I need to make my side sauce the way that I like it and it's always clean. There is almost always a wait so I would recommend coming early, plus parking isn't the best since it's a mall parking lot. The customer service is very attentive so there's no complaints whenever I dine here. Ming and Nick are always making sure we're taken care of! I get excited every time any of my friends suggest Mumu for dinner. read more

The besttttt hot pot place has come to South San Jose and I loved every moment of my lunch here! The staff are quick and attentive. Quality of the meat here is unmatched! Worth the price definitely. You must come here and get the combos. A la carte is probably a lot more expensive. Tom Yum is my go-to for broth! Very flavorful and doesn't get too salty. You can ask for broth refills too. Honorable mentions: shrimp paste and fish fillet! The Phoenix Oolong Milk Tea was okay... Too much milk in my opinion, but the tea was delicious! Not too roasty, but still fragrant! read more

AMAZING place. I love the Tom Yum soup. Wait time was okay and kinda busy but that's expected for a Saturday evening.

I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a filling, well-balanced hot-pot experience. Pros - The meat quality is fantastic and the vegetables are fresh. They let you choose the items that come in the set so you can choose ingredients that match your taste - Nice clean interior with a decent amount of seating - Good broth choices Cons - The only people that I've heard who do not enjoy this place are people who do prefer to eat vegetables so if your group does not enjoy vegetables as much then I would recommend ordering a la carte read more

Mumu Hot Pot - Meat lover combo (There are two more trays of meat under the one pictured) - Hot Pot Near Me - San Jose, California

Favorite non-ayce hotpot in the Bay Area! The quality of the meat is consistently amazing and the veggies are always fresh. I love all their broths but highly recommend the yuzu shio for something a little different and I like to add chili oil to make it a bit spicier. I also love how many options they have at the sauce bar. The workers are also always really prompt and love that you can just order and pay through your phone. This location in particular has a really nice interior and very spacious. I've never had to wait when I came on a weekday, but keep in mind parking at the mall can be quite hard as it's always busy. The only downside is that it's quite pricy at ~$50 per person but I think the quality is worth it. read more
