Amazing service with new meat orders constantly taken and all of it was very fresh. Definitely going again!!

5-stars all the way! This place reminds me a bit of Seapot in Sunnyvale. with its similar feel, decor, style, etc. They have unique broths to choose from in which my favorite was their spicy Szechuan chili broth with lots of lamb. I thought they added a bit too much anise spice but other than that, it's delicious. They have all the major meats available like rib eye, flank steak, pork belly, beef belly, lamb, and more. They have lots of appetizers to choose from in which our favorite is their crispy fried chicken. This side dish is so good and pairs great with regular rice with broth. They have a sauce bar for condiments and a fruit bar for sweet treats. The employees are quick on their feet and do frequently check-in with tables for refills and more. I'm a huge fan of Revopot and will definitely come back again for more! read more

Enjoyed the concept and dining experience here. the broths here are really top tier and each broth has tons of flavor starting off. Love the revolving concept and they are portioned well. Extensive sauce bar. Meat quality isn't too bad, appetizers are yummy! Service is good, they come around to refill waters and get the dirty dishes often. Ambiance is spacious and lots of seating available. Lots of parking available outside as well. read more

I came here in a party of 4 on a Monday evening and was seated immediately. I got the mala broth. It's neat how each person gets their individual broth - from my experience it's more common to have a communal broth in the middle of a table. I think they use induction heaters so it is pretty slick and easy to control. The table itself felt a bit cramped though, and we had to play a bit of tetris to manage everything. There are vegetables that revolve around a conveyer belt for us to grab. The sauce bar is pretty small and got a bit chaotic. The hot food bar was also pretty small. The quality of the food is good. The mala broth was spicy. I think this place has really good value. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles that similar places do but the price is hard to beat. Plus, it feels pretty tech forward with the induction heaters and converter belt. read more

Not trying to sound weird, but I hate and love the fact I came here 2 weeks in a row. It's just convenient for me. Additionally, received the best service this time around. Almost feels like I'm home away from home when I want comfort food. If anyone does plan to come here, I'd say consider giving it a try for sure. Please be sure to ask for Nhi, Andy or Luat. They are currently the best of the best here. read more

This has been on my bucket list for awhile since I first saw it in IG. Glad I finally got around to trying it! Ambiance: clean and modern feeling. There were both booth and counter-style seating. We were lucky to score a booth. It seemed like there was only a limited amount of them. Comfort experience may be different if I was sat next to a stranger or with limited room to place my food. Service: servers were attentive in clearing out empty plates. Took a little bit at times to get the attention of the waiter with the tablet to order more meat, but it wasn't long enough to get grumpy over. Food: The food available at the conveyor belt had a large variety. It ranged from staple ramen noodles to clams to the more exotic pork blood and tripe (I think there was also liver?). You are able to also order hot food via the server. The raw meat your order via the server tasted high quality, but portions were small and you're only able to order 4 per round. Dessert and side dishes also available via self-serve. The condiment bar was also a plus. Would recommend this place. Definitely a contender for my usual staple Seapot. Tom yum soup was a definite hit read more

The $22.95 lunch special is good, but only 60 minutes, three meats, and unlimited conveyor belt items make it a fun and great-value experience. The price went up, as it used to be only $19.95. However, if you want all-you-can-eat (AYCE) for lunch, it's $5 more, for a total of $27.95 before taxes and tip. The mushroom broth is especially delicious, rich, and flavorful. The hotpot heats up quickly, so you can start cooking right away, which is perfect for a lunch break. The staff is consistently prompt, friendly, and attentive. Ample parking is available, making visits convenient. read more

Still unchanged with excellent service and location. It is still a nice place for AYCE hot pot. read more

Move over Seapot! Revopot is here. I came with a friend on a weekday dinner around 7 PM because the restaurant sent a coupon to my home. It seems relatively new and has the concept of conveyor belt hotpot. we were seated immediately, but it gets extremely crowded on weekends. The service was incredible and the facilities were clean. I especially liked the self-serve bar where they had cucumber salad, kimchi jello cake, fruits, sauces, and even chicken feet! I've tried the Szechuan spicy broth and the Chinese herbal broth. I love spice, but the Szechuan broth did not hurt my stomach too much; I think it's manageable for people who prefer medium spice! The herbal broth smells like a Chinese medicine store; I enjoyed it as a good non-spicy option, but I know it's not some people's cup of tea. The selection of meats was good and they refilled quickly. You can also order appetizers for AYCE. The conveyor belt was clean, replenished often, and the servers were accessible to our needs. Their lunch deal is a steal at three plates of meat per person and unlimited conveyor belt usage for $23 per person. If you're not that hungry, go for this. All in all, I'm glad to have Revopot as a place to stay in this plaza. I'd recommend it! read more

Since we come on a holiday (weekday), the server told us that it would be on dinner menu instead of regular weekday lunch menu. Anyway we got several orders of Wagyu and lamb slices for our hotpot lunch. They also have a small salad station and dessert stations on the side. Overall great service and great food. There is a 10% discount sign for students. The waiter comes promptly to take empty plates and took more orders from us. You can also order hot food. All other things such as vegetables and meat balls can be taken from a conveyor belt that comes to your seat. Our overall dining experience was good. read more

We celebrated my birthday here with my family, and it was our first time visiting. We had a wonderful experience! The young lady who helped us was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. She made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived, and all of the staff were friendly and provided excellent service. The food was delicious, and everyone in my family enjoyed it. Thank you for making my birthday dinner so special. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

I've been coming to Revo about 3-4 times recently, and I'm honestly so happy I found this place. My first visit was great even though I didn't know what to expect. The second time was New Year's Eve, and they were really short staffed, but the employees were still incredibly kind. Hats off to David -- he's hardworking, humble, and always takes great care of us. Since then, I've been back a few more times. Recently I met Nghi, and she set us up so kindly. I enjoy chatting with the staff and even with the customers sitting next to us around the revolving hot pot area. It gives the place a friendly, community feel. I try to eat as clean as possible, so I stick to sliced shabu meats, lots of veggies, and non‑processed items from the revolving area and this place makes that easy. The soup bases have plenty of flavor, and there are lots of options. My favorites are tom yum, herbal, and mushroom. There are two sauce stations if you like to customize, plus a station with Asian desserts and appetizers. You can also order hot appetizers but I typically won't since it's all fried foods. I usually finish with 1-3 pieces of Asian jello, but they also have assorted fruits if you want something even lighter. Highly recommend this spot. Great people, great food, and something for everyone. read more

New hotpot + bar restaurant next to ITea and Ross. Talk about flow state. Important notes: * There is automatic gratuity added for parties of 5 or more. * It is all you can eat (AYCE) for 1.5 hours. * There is a 10% surcharge applied for excessive leftovers. * Revopot special is $22.95 but only from Monday-Friday from 11am-3pm. (1 hour limit and has to be less than a party of 8) Came here with the fam with reservations for 1pm on a Sunday. However, we still had to wait about 20-30 minutes for seats to be available where the revolving bar is. Otherwise the booth seats were available. I love how there is an option where everyone can sit next to each other facing the revolving bar to grab their own things, but then you can't really talk to everyone because you would have to be across from each other. They also have a few booths if you want to sit with your family or friends facing eachother but then whoever is closest to the revolving bar has to grab all the hot pot items. I like the layout of their restaurant. When you first walk in there is a small lobby/ waiting area to check in and the bar is on the right with nice lots of seats. The lighting in there is quite yellow and they play up to date music. I love that they have a lot of options of side foods such as their table of stir fry noodles, fried chicken and some other fried item (fish possibly?). There is a another table with fruits and sides such as cucumber salad, chicken feet, kimchi, etc.. The sides were pretty good. The sauce bar is standard. You got your chili oil, ponzu, soy sauce, etc with cilantro, onions, and more. However, it seemed like they kind of dilute the sauces like their garlic, and chili oil a bit. I got the spicy mala soup and it was a standard spicy numbing hot soup. You also have the option to choose hot foods from the menu and I got crab Rangoons. Those were so below average so I do not recommend. As for meats we got premium pork belly, rib eye, brisket and lamb. They were all good and some came out frozen. The quality of the meats itself were just average compared to other hot pot places I've tried. They also put the meats on top of the glass screen on the revolving bar which I think is cool. It was fun for the whole family to all sit in front of the revolving bar. I was lucky enough to sit where all the foods were dispensed from so I was snatching up the enoki mushrooms. I wish they had bamboo shoots here and the wider glass noodles like at Seapot. The quail eggs were really good. They had a good amount of selections to choose from. The service was standard but the only thing that my family didn't like was that it took a while for someone to come back to order more meats. It honestly was random there would be a long wait time and then one server would come and then 5 minutes later another server would come to take another order. However, all the servers were polite and they would periodically come to help clear out empty trays because they stacked up a lot. Overall I recommend trying this place out once. It's a decent hotpot revolving bar restaurant. I think it has great potential if they work on the waiting times. read more

Revvving up the Revopot review!! This place was a hit with my friends! It left us feeling full with a heartiness in our stomachs! :3 So when you enter with a small group (3- 4 people) expect to be seated near a conveyor belt of an assortment of veggies, seafoods, noodles, etc to put in your pot! The meats are handled by the waiters- not too many meats to choose from but it definitely keeps it simple for people eating to not think about and just enjoy your hot pot! The meat is definitely thin.. and why would it be thick? You're heating it up in some good soup! Meats: brisket, lamb, pork belly, etc. What gives Revopot the appeal for me is that you can just add in your own veggies and works as you please, as the conveyor belt will keep "dishing" out more. (Get it?) Just be mindful as well with how close you are sitting with others- cus it does feel like you're sitting within elbow side of them, but focus on your food and your party, and it's all good! Also! They've got a food and sauce bar on the side of the restaurant. Eat up at the food bar and sauce it up! They've got tripe, chow fun noodles, cucumbers, and chicken feet- (at least when I went). I would definitely come here again for easy, no thinking, hot pot grubbing! read more

**3.5 rounding up to 4 stars** I wished they had more tables to accommodate bigger parties but it was interesting sitting bar style in front of the conveyor belt! My only complaint was that it was hard to conversate depending how you're seated. Service was great! Meats came out quickly but I didn't like the limitation where you're only able to order more meat if you only had 1 left but I understand. It was hard to figure out where to put the empty plates and bowls after we were done with it without appearing too messy or inconsiderate of the people around us but us sitting at the end helped. Very simple cuts of meat and options but not bad to just get your pot hot fix in but definitely limiting for meats and sauces. Surprisingly, they had a lot of appetizers I enjoyed like the chicken wings, gyoza, and of course, french fries! But if you're not mindful then you may get full of that vs what you're here for, which is the meat and conveyor belt items lol. The concept and seating is definitely interesting and I felt like I was in Japan. I just wish there were more options. read more

so glad to have a ayce hotpot spot close by! i'd say the price is pretty affordable and each time i'm here the service is pretty good. since it's ayce, the meat quality isn't the best but still pretty solid. read more

Very interesting design. Everyone is essentially in bar seating style if tables are full. They place the meat platter above you on the glass which is interesting. The fried chicken was surprisingly so good LOL. So are their other appetizers. I really like the tomyum soup base as well. The service was also super good and attentive. We came in the evening and they were able to accommodate even though kitchen was gonna close soon. Definitely would come back some time! read more

Out of many restaurants I've been to over my lifetime, Revopot ranks the top in terms of service and price/quality ratio. The staff is super attentive, friendly, and will make sure your requests are fulfilled. The pricing on the AYCE hot pot is IMO in the right spot. The red meat selection isn't anywhere extensive compared to Halidao, but you're also not paying for each individual serving. I really love their conveyor belt system where a lot of seafood / veggies / etc are constantly coming past you so you can just quickly add to your hot pot without calling for service. The sauce bar is really well-done; the sauces available that you can customize are really competitive with Halidao, and they also have a mini-buffet for things like chow mein, Thai-style flat noodles, egg rolls, and desserts too. I really love this place. It's one of the few places my wife has fond memories for and want to return to because the service is so good and the food / price is just *chef's kiss*. I do wish they had a Schezwan-spicy level broth. Would love some numbing peppers in my hot pot. The spicy mala broth is great but not it. If you want a significantly cheaper alternative to Halidao, Revopot is the place to go! read more

Revopot - Chinese Near Me - San Jose, California

Conveyor style hot pot place with 3 long conveyor belts. The first row seats parties of 4 while the 2 others are single seats around the conveyor belts. Decent quality meats and good soup base. Tasty cocktails as well from their bar area. 2 condiments stations filled with lots of sauces and spices. A desert bar with fruits and cookies. Pretty spacious store but will be sitting next to other parties on the conveyor belt. Wagyu was soft but inconsistent meat and fat ratio. Brisket and ribeye were solid for the price. Conveyor belts brought out different mushrooms, fish balls, seafoods, and other typical hot pot ingredients. Not much greens here though only saw 2 types. The fried food was crispy. Fried fresh but a bit oily and not much flavor. Would come back for the lunch deal they have for $20. Plenty of parking in this plaza. Service was decent and meat came out fairly quick. read more

Love this hot pot place for so many reasons: Love that you get your own hot pot. Love the veggies, noodles, tofu and stuff to add to your hot pot is on a conveyor belt. Serving size is just right to add to your pot without being overwhelming. Love the sauce bar and there is a yummy cucumber salad in the adjacent buffet bar with fruit and asian desserts. Revopot also gives you a slotted spoon and addition to your spoon to gather up your goodies in your hot pot. Happy hour is definitely the time to arrive to get discounted drinks: mojitos are nice. Also live the appetizers with hot options: chicken wings, crab ragoons, chicken salad and sesame balls are great. The servers are well trained and super attentive. Its our favorite place to take guests. Our friends and family were very impressed with the food and service. Its our new go to spot for hot pot. read more

Came here on a rainy Monday for dinner. It was still early so it was not crowded yet. There are a lot of tables, even for big groups, which is nice. Our group of 6 got seated when almost everyone arrived. It was still happy hour (M-F 5-7pm), which we got some discounted drinks. We ordered the broth, meats, and selected apps through the waiter. The rest of the sides/veggies are on a conveyor belt that you can grab. I got the tum yum broth and enjoyed it. It has a slight kick of heat, so if you cannot handle your spice, beware. Meats good, as well as the options on the conveyor belt. Overall, I enjoyed it. Nice ayce hotpot close to home. Would def come back. Service was good, they came and took away empty places quickly. Parking is easy, big lot. read more

Spacious design. You're not smudge into a corner somewhere and have room to actually move around. Decent amount of food. Is it the best tasting? Probably not but its a fun atmosphere with the family. 120 minutes for ayce. They dont start the timer until you're all seated and ready to eat. Waitress will provide a mid-time notification which is very useful. No need to rush the order because they bring it out so quickly. Also, the belt bring other food as well so you are always eating. The staff are amazing with their level of services. Better than other places around the area. The parking lot is massive with the EV charging lot next door. read more

I liked the offering that they have on their conveyor belt. There are some ingredients that differs from the other AYCE hotpot out there. The hot food and cold appetizer section is not bad either. The fries did not taste great because it has been sitting there for a while. They have a lot of sauce dipping selection, but nothing very spicy. As for the broth, I ordered the herbal soup base for myself. However, it wasn't flavorful enough and the herbal taste was too subtle. I'd probably choose a different soup base next time. I tried a sip of my fiance's spicy mala broth and THAT was a lot more flavorful (aka - it's not just spicy). I thought the meat was just okay so we didn't order too many plates of that, but I did like the miscellaneous ingredients on their conveyer belt. read more

Local neighborhood hotpot! Food quality is 2.5, selection is bumps it up to a 3 stars and service is an additional solid star. My husband has been fighting to not dine here because of the reviews but I've been curious since it's so close by and I'm all for supporting local businesses. We came here on a Monday night and there were only 3 other parties in the restaurant. Service was amazing! Super attentive and friendly! The restaurant was clean and we enjoyed the sauce bar, cold bar/ desserts. If you are into chicken feet like us, you will like their chicken feet in the cold bar section. They didn't have the hot items out but the waiter mentioned we can order from the menu. Now about the hotpot, I got the Sichuan broth and it was flavorful. My dad ordered the same thing but his was extra salty. My husband and mom both got the tom yum and both liked it. The meat quality is very mid but we eat more veggies and seafood than meat. The ribeye and toro were the best cuts. The conveyer belt items were limited but still satisfied my cravings. Overall, we all enjoyed our dinner and will come back again in the future. read more

I'm a couple weeks late on this review. This establishment is a high quality hot pot spot. It's AYCE and service is top notch. Here is why: Food (5 stars) + Amazing quality on all fronts. You would think that having a carousel may lower the quality. I filled my pot with fresh veggies, tofu, mushrooms of all types, and seafood cakes/balls. You dip your generous slices of ribeye into your custom sauce and it's hot pot heaven. (5 stars) + Sauce bar has everything you need to make the perfect sauce. Here is my suggestion. Satay sauce, cilantro, green onions, garlic, a teaspoon of sugar, and your choice of hot sauce. (5 stars) Service (5 stars) + Waiter saw me sweat and my ice cold water was automatically filled. + I recall we order from app but I could be wrong as I also remember the waiter asked if we wanted more. Ambiance (5 stars) + I was pleasantly surprised how nice it was. The decor is elegant with a bit of an industrial feel. It's very clean here. + I came at lunch on a weekday. We were seated immediately. + Located inside a strip mall next to Superchargers. This is by far the best restaurant that ever popped up here. I may never go elsewhere for hot pot. This is one of the better ones if not the best in the area. Hope they keep up the quality and this helps you try out this place. read more

Excellent customer service and they really take care of your needs here. Very decent, spacious, clean, well managed, and standard AYCE conveyor belt style hot pot restaurant. Looks great and feels great. After having the delicious $25.95 AYCE (2-meats at a time) lunch, I think I should come back for dinner next time instead. Brisket and lamb meat. Not fattening at all. Mixed well with the mushroom soup. What I really wanted were the pandan/coconut jelly/jello type desserts which they didn't have during lunchtime. Fruits were plentiful and special sweet snacks are good. I have a feeling that the evening food bars are filled with even more goodies. Grab whatever sauces/appetizers/desserts/rice/meats you want at the food bar area. Kimchi and vinaigrette cucumbers with peanuts are my favorites to start. Lunchtime items felt limited at the food bar: rice, fried fish fillets, beef pepper onions, etc. Conveyor belt items for hot pot soup were all very good though: corn, yams, mussels, clams, shrimps, vermicelli, veggies, etc. Conveyor belt foods came out slowly, but my appetite was already fulfilled and it felt like there was more food than I can swallow or finish. Do come hungry. Vibes are probably much better during evenings and on weekends. There were only 4-6 customers inside from 11am-12:30pm lunchtime Thursday. I had the mushroom soup base. Surprisingly, it was filled with all kinds of mushrooms that I liked. Nice. Maybe I will try the herbal soup or tomato soup bases next time. Good impression so far. People are friendly here. Absolutely delicious at great prices for the value. Look for evening happy hours and weekend happy hours. It's available. read more

went here around 6:00 pm on a monday with my girlfriend, was not busy at all, probably just a couple parties there besides us. there is lots of parking and there is a waitlist if needed. the place is big and has bar like seating and also booth seating. there is a revolving belt with a bunch of hotpot items which is delicious but the only thing is that it is shared between sections so you might not be able to grab what you want if everybody wants the same thing. you have to get 4 meats per round, which is also a downside if you want one certain meat to try or so, but to make it worth it i do understand. they have a dessert bar and of course the condiments bar which is free to grab. for hot pot base: tom yum: super good, kind of spicy but really good. herbal: the aromatics were so good, kind of cinammony but pretty good. brisket, rib eye, beef belly: really good cuts of meat, kind of fatty but honestly not bad. overall this place is pretty worth it for the price especially if you go for lunch. read more

As a soup lover, I had to try Revopot after seeing it online with my post-work foodie scroll and it was good to try! It seems like they are still in their soft opening stages based from recent reviews. Love the variety of their sauce bar and maybe it's bc I went during lunch, however their hot foods section wasn't available? Would like to try a bite of their chicken! Service was fast and polite! Our waiter checked on us enough to make sure we had all the meats we needed without doing too much! Surprisingly, I really enjoyed their sides for a hotpot place. Anywho, I do think their broth can be improved and there should be more of a selection with the toppings from the revolving belt. I totally get that you can add what you like to the broth to enhance the flavor, however the creamy cheese soup was neither of those. It was more on the lighter and milky side. Still good, just something I noticed and the meats were up to par for the price. I feel like you can't expect top tier quality since it is AYCE. Reminds me of Goku, but just with hotpot and I'll probably be back in the colder months! read more

I really love their set up. You walk in and on the right they have a bar. Then they have the seating areas. I prefer sitting at a table, but sometimes they make you sit at a bar. But the reason for the bar is they have a conveyor belt that has vegetables, noodles, and seafood which you take to cook in your pot. I also like that they have individual pots for each person. After you order your soup and drinks, you're free to wait. Or you can step up to the self serve area and get chicken, ribs, chow mein, chow fun, or whatever they may happen to have that day. Once they had fried chicken wings, which I absolutely adored! The next time I went, they didn't have it. I forget exactly which types of soup they have but that's their one weakness. I think I got miso or mushroom. But I feel they should really have another middle of the road type. The other ones are spicy or tomato or something like that. With four people, you can order six meats at a time. The meats are really good, but they're cut extremely thin. The good news that they cook super fast. Both times I've been I left very full. I barely have any room for dessert which is either a tapioca or some other Asian custard or a lot of freshly cut fruit. The service is really good and they're very friendly. The price is reasonable, and I will eat here again and again! read more

Decided to come with my fiance at 2pm. We had just done a bunch of errands and were looking forward to AYCE hotpot. We planned our day around this meal. The inside of the restaurant looks like pretty much every other conveyor belt hotpot (hint: think seapot). There are plenty of tables and there are 3 big belts of items rolling about. Each person will get their own pot and unlimited meat. One thing I really like about their items are that the plates are not too big. If I want just 1-2 pieces of something I can get it, not 3-4 such that I might overeat later when I'm full. The selection of their items is also quite good, one of the rarer things I liked for example was their bamboo. I thought the meat quality was also stellar! very marbled, even their ribeye, which is available at all times. They also have a cold / hot dish premade section. That section has lots of interesting stuff like noodles, chicken feet, and cold chicken. There were also jello and fruits but I didn't try it. I quite liked their cooked items though. Finally, their broth was stellar. I chose the mala and found it perfectly seasoned. Didn't even use the sauce bar. Not sure about their other broths though as you can only choose one. Their service was excellent (very fast) and quite a good price ($35). As I could not find any reasons to nit against their place, I wholeheartedly recommend as one of the best ayce hotpot places I've been to :) read more

3.5 Seating is very weird. It's like bar seating throughout the whole restaurant except a few tables. This sucks bc you're literally shoulder to shoulder with the person next to you. This is hard when you're at a AYCE and you have a lot of food in front of you (with meats, sides, etc), so there's not much room. The side options on the conveyer belt feels limited. There's not much variety. Nothing compared to SeaPot. On the bright side, the tom yum broth was delicious. read more

An AYCE hotpot and buffet in one restaurant. We asked for the Spicy Mala and Herbal broth. The Herbal broth had a fruity flavor and bitter aftertaste. It was just too bitter for my taste even after I added some mushrooms and tofu in it so I had asked to switch to the Mushroom Broth. It was an extra $6.95 to to switch to another broth. The Mushroom Broth was ok. There were 7 choices of meat including the American Wagyu. Dinner price applies to the Wagyu meat. Tried the Brisket, Ribeye, pork belly, and Wagyu. Meats were ok with ribeye as the best of the choices. It was the least chewy compared to all the others. The buffet was good. It had battered fried fish, soy type chicken, dumplings, noodles and lots of fresh fruits and jello type desserts. Enjoyed the buffet. Soda was not included in the buffet. Nice staff. Spacious dining area. Lots of parking. read more

I guess it's a soft open. The service is good. The condiment , great selection but the conveyor belt food was very simple for the price of other all you can eat hot pot... The hot pot business is a dog eat dog world business. You have to price it right with the food server or else won't service in the Bay Area. Good luck. read more

Newest AYCE hotpot in the area. Decent quality meat and delicious broths, but very limited conveyor belt items. My friends and I enjoyed our meal here at revopot. Truly took in the delicious and unlimited thinly sliced meats, but it wasn't unlimited after all. We were told they ran out of wagyu after a good 5 rounds, but by then we were already too full to care. This place is poppin! My friends and I waited close to 2 hours in a friday night. DEFINITELY not worth that wait, but a good try still. There are booth seats and conveyor belt seats. Sauce and snack bar is extensive and included in the AYCE. Service was attentive! read more

FLAVOR (2/5): My mushroom soup base was so salty I couldn't fully enjoy my food. I didn't find their meat selection quality to be that good despite it being wagyu. Wish they had more options for vegetables. INSTAGRAM WORTHY (4/5): You're probably coming here for the conveyor belt let's be honest. That alone isn't enough to eat here again. Seapot has the same concept but it tastes significantly better. SERVICE (3/5): Servers stopped coming over to our table towards the tail end of our dining. We had to flag someone over to take our order and they couldn't even take our order they sent someone else. TAKEAWAYS: Even for AYCE I found this place super disappointing. Tried it once and not coming back. Save your money and go to another AYCE instead. read more

If I can give the service a higher rating, I would TOTALLY do it!!! 5/5 for my server! Ethan made me feel so welcomed here with his humor! He was also very helpful with recommending what to order. Really funny and amazing guy. The food overall would be a 3/5 for me. I got the herbal soup and it was surprisingly sweet for me. I would definitely try another soup next time i visit again. The conveyor belt food has pretty limited options as well as the condiments section. Revopot seems like a very friendly place for solo diners, and I would definitely come back again! Overall I would give this place a 4/5! read more

I visited during the holiday lunch rush, so it was quite busy. That definitely affected my overall experience, even though the food itself was good. Pros: - Conveyor belt was well replenished with lots of options. Veggie quality was fresh. - Good sauce and dessert options. - 10% student discount per meal with physical ID. - All of the most popular soup bases were very flavorful (mushroom, tom yum, spicy mala). - You can join their Yelp waitlist if you're within a 2-mile radius, and they also accept reservations on weekdays. Cons (mostly service): - Staff were kind, but the service was extremely slow. They either need more staff or a better process on busy days (e.g., clearly assigned roles). While we were waiting, tables sat dirty for quite a while after people left. - We were seated in a corner and it was really hard to get anyone's attention. - Our meat orders took a long time to come out. It almost felt intentional to limit how much people could order, which made me regret choosing AYCE and wish I'd gone with the $20 lunch special instead. - AYCE lunch is now $28. Auto gratuity for party of 5 or more. - Hot food dishes tasted meh. Would pass to save stomach space. Given the slow service (which naturally limits how much meat you end up getting), I'd recommend choosing the lunch special instead of AYCE if you're going during lunch. You get three meats up front, a hot dish, plus the conveyor belt - much better value given the pacing. read more

Very strong four star review. The Mrs., youngest and I were in the San Jose area for a quick weekend visit. Stopped by Revopot due to the good Yelp reviews. Used Yelp check-in to get on waitlist a bit early. Interestingly, you have to be within 2 miles for the app functionality to work. So arrived and had about a 10 minute wait. My Tom yum soup was very good. Ingredients on the conveyor belt seemed to be of good quality. The meats were the stars. Everything was very good and the service was surprisingly excellent. Weaknesses? The hot foods were only ok. Gyoza and calamari were fine. The self serve fried fish and chicken wings would have been good, but they leave the lids to the warming dishes open so they were lukewarm. The chow fun in the warming dish was fresh so that was actually very good. Desserts were ok. Overall, worth a stop and would definitely go back if in the area and wanted hot pot. read more
