    Beef 18. Satay Beef Pot 沙茶牛肉鍋
    Daphne D.

    Large free parking lot, which is always convenient. Ordering is done by scanning a QR code and placing your order from your phone. Tried the satay beef pot -- it was good, though nothing particularly stood out. Also tried the calamari which was standard. Casual vibes with nice service overall.

    I've been here a couple times for lunch and it's been a pretty good experience! They give out free black/green tea during lunch which is very refreshing but a little too sweet. I got the Beef Sukiyaki and it was just perfect! Loved the amount of meat they gave, the broth, veggies, and the udon was the perfect touch to this dish. I would come here more often if I was local. It's a better alternative to Boiling Point since there's generally no wait!

    1. House Special Pot (Fermented Tofu)
    Vera L.

    Always so satisfying here, whether it's during summer or during a cold winter night. They're typically understaffed since it's only 1-2 servers who manages the whole front of the house (bills, cleanup, make drinks, serve). Tables were open but still a wait since they couldn't clean up in time. House special pot is always good, with a choice of spice level and rice or vermicelli. I always get medium spice with rice. Their popcorn chicken pot is also good, with savory crispy chicken served on the side. Lamb and curry pot are also very yums. You won't be disappointed in any of them. Each pot has different toppings in the pot, but usually a lot of variety including cabbage, corn, quail eggs, meatballs, clams, tofu, etc. The sauces are what makes it more delicious . I love the garlic and soy bean paste for dipping. This place also has my favorite almond milk tea. Love their type of almond flavor here.

    My husband and I love coming to Pot on Fire--it's one of our go-to spots for delicious hot pot! The flavors are always on point, and the serving sizes are just right. It's consistently satisfying and comforting. For appetizers, we always order the chicken popcorn (crispy and flavorful!) and the thousand year egg with cold tofu--a must if you're into traditional dishes. The only downside for me, as a bit of a germaphobe, is that the drinks are brought over with hands touching the top rim of the cup. It's a small detail, but one I notice every time. Highly recommend if you're in the mood for a cozy and flavorful hot pot experience!

    Me and friends, this one of our favorite spots to have lunch and never disappoints for some good hotpot! The Sukiyaki pot is one of my favorites here, so good and flavorful! Not spicy either. Since it's a lunch special, you get an iced tea either black or green flavor with your hotpot. In the past, we didn't have good service but for this visit it was good!

    Good food, ok service. I came for a work lunch and the restaurant filled up quickly at lunchtime. Their menu is similar to Boiling Point but might have even more options! They also have free teas provided, not sure if it's just for lunch though because it wasn't on the menu. I got the House Special Pot at mild spice and it was super yummy and enough food where I had leftovers. Unfortunately the service was a bit disappointing though. One of my coworkers hadn't realized that the House Special Pot he ordered came with clams as well and he's allergic to shellfish so had to stop eating out of caution. When he raised this with staff they just told him it was on the menu and he should've noted it when ordering. There was no support in pointing him to other pots that didn't have shellfish and so he spent most of the lunch looking through the menu more carefully and making it clear with them to not include shellfish.

    1. House Special Pot (Fermented Tofu Opt.)
    Brian T.

    Saw another Taiwanese hot pot not BP and decided to try it out. I got the house special pot mild spicy. The soup had a very strong Chinese Bullhead BBQ taste. The meat quality was not good for the default option. Lots of greens in the pot but not much of the other stuff. The popcorn chicken was great. Chicken has flavor and was crispy. The pot is on the pricier side and if you want good meat it is an additional add on. Ordered via a QR code and the service was good. Small restaurant but lots of parking. Would only come back for popcorn chicken.

    Tried the Vegetarian Mushroom Pot here yesterday and it was underwhelming. The broth was extremely bland--basically tasted like lightly salted water. It felt like the ingredients (veggies and mushrooms) were just added to plain water and left to cook, without any real depth of flavor. Even the greens tasted bitter. They also forgot to include the rice that was supposed to come with the order. I didn't bother bringing it up since the food had already killed my appetite at that point. If a restaurant is going to include vegetarian hot pot on the menu, there needs to be more thought put into the broth. Even without meat-based stock, there are plenty of ways to build flavor--herbs, spices, and traditional ingredients like star anise or jujube can make a big difference. The ambience is nice, good customer service, but the baseline (food) is not there.

    I visited on Monday around lunchtime, and the place got really packed right after opening. If you're coming here, come for the food, not the service. The food was excellent, the Taiwanese spicy beef is always on point and still my favorite dish. The Beef Bento also has a good portion of meat with a decent price. However, the service could use some improvement. The server didn't seem to speak English very well and wasn't very friendly. He placed water with no ice on my table without saying anything, and didn't ask if I wanted ice water or anything else. Ordering was done through a phone scan of the barcode on the table. The wait time for food wasn't too long, and they offer one free iced green tea or black tea with every pot you order. After ordering, the server will ask which tea you prefer. The pot also comes with choices of steam rice / glass noodles. Overall, the food is great, the restaurant is clean, and the prices are affordable. I'll definitely be back.

    korean kimchi pot, tomato pot
    Katie Y.

    I like to order the tomato pot. Majority of their pots offer pork slices, instead of beef slices, if that is what you prefer. They offer good sauces to dip here, the soy garlic and sesame peanut sauce are so yummy. I like that you can scan the QR code on your table to order since the service is extremely subpar.

    What's the red meat inside the hot pot here? Whenever I go here, they have thinly sliced beef that looks a regular brown color, but I find within the broth there's also thinly sliced red meat (cooked not raw). Is that a different cut of beef...?

    I believe its a fish cake, or crab stick. Its not a real crab meat tho.

    Are you a add the 18% tips and employee service insurance Tips?

    No. They don't do insurance tip and you pick the amount of tip you'd like to give

    Yes you would have too.

    Do they serve beer?

    I think they do serve beer, also boba drinks as well

    Is one hot pot shareable for 2 people?

    I wouldn't recommend it. The portion is fair for average people. I am a small eater so I mostly can't finish everything in their pot. However, I don't think it is enough if I only get half of the pot.

    Does anyone know if any of the dishes can be made gluten free, (without wheat of any kind including flour and soy sauce)?

    doubt it since they use soy sauce as a base seasoning for a lot of their dishes

The person making my drink was nice and suggested black tea instead of green tea, which I didn't mine. I received my drink and quickly left to drive back to work. Their almond milk tea is subtle. Much water, less tea, and barely any almond taste. Their boba is chewy like taro or mochi jelly, but bland. Absolutely bland. So bland that I couldn't really fathom finishing my drink. I didn't reach the halfway mark and just tossed the rest. I don't think I will be back. I should have stuck to my choices, because the boba and tea aren't good. Surprisingly when they have such high ratings. I'd rather spend my money on a different boba place.

I was delighted to find that there were tons of tables around to sit, eat, and study. There are some power outlets around the dining area if you look carefully. Upon arrival, I did walk around to see what other food options are here. When I was ready to order i had some questions since it was my first time. With the help of one of the employees, I decided to do a black milk tea with tapioca mochi. The ice level and sweetness was spot on. Although I usually like my drinks on the sweet side, their regular sweetness was good. I stayed for about 2 hours to read and noticed they have a good amount of bulk orders. Some customers come in with big bags or even coolers to pack their drinks. The employees work fast and I saw they even went above and beyond and packed some ice in the cooler for their customer. The drink and service was pretty decent so before leaving I was fine with ordering another drink to try. This time I wanted a fruit tea. I decided to get the pineapple oolong. The worker made the tea as usual but let me try it to adjust the sweetness level. We decided to add on 50% more sweetness but I do have to say their regular sweetness was also good. After trying 2 drinks, I do think they have their recipe down as their drinks were well made. Now I know another place nearby when I want refreshing boba drinks.
