    Always great when you don't have to go to San Francisco or San Jose for good hot pot. Location is in downtown Mountain View and gets busy really quick. Came on a Saturday night and it was super busy, but worth the wait once you're seated. They have a qr code that you scan to place your order for the table and it's 5 items at a time. Great quality meats and ice cream after for under $50. Warning please ignore the your table is ready text if you're not next in line. Even though your text says table ready most of the time it's not. Something I've noticed every time I've come, so I just check in with the greeter and wait for them to call my name.

    10000/10 BIG BOOMS FOR THEIR SERVICE. Service was literally impeccable and they run like a well oiled machine :) This is my mommy's favorite restaurant and lowkey might be mine as the variety+free desserts at the end is amazebeans. The quality is pretty good for an ayce and very affordable at 38p/per. I stack up on the galbi for the bbq and beef belly for the hotpot. The taro balls, condensed milk buns, and ice cream at the end defff are the perfect touch to raise my diabetes. OVERALL I SHALL BE BACK TEEHEE ;)

    This place can get busy so be wary! It is in a walkable area though so you can walk around and see the other restaurants and some boba shops. Food (4/5): They are ayce and pretty good. They have a wide variety of protein, veggies, and even dessert! We really liked the bun, sesame seeds, and taro balls. Parking (3/5): There's plenty of parking lots nearby but it can get packed. Most are free though! Service (5/5): They switched to qr ordering and they are FAST.

    When my friend and I forest arrived, the host quickly explained the service and it was a bit confusing but we realized that it was all you can eat, which isn't too hard to understand we just didn't know the price The quality of the food was good. We really enjoyed the brisket, short ribs, and beef/pork belly. Also having the option to do hot pot was also nice since we got to have our meat in the soup as well. The ambiance of the place felt very Bay Area and their logo was placed everywhere which isn't a bad thing in my opinion. Something I really enjoyed was the ice cream at the end.

    Servers here were friendly and attentive, always refilling water and hot pot broth and changing the grills when needed. Sauce bar had many different options which I loved. I enjoyed ordering through the phone so we could pace our meat as needed. Food came out quickly whenever we placed our orders. I love that they had many options here, but the meat quality wasn't great. There wasn't anything that made me want to order another portion of. Love that they gave strawberry ice cream at the end.

    If you're in Mountain View and can't decide between hot pot or KBBQ, this place is a lifesaver. The setup is actually pretty cool because you get your own individual hot pot so you don't have to share broth, but there's still a shared grill in the middle for the BBQ. The all-you-can-eat is the move here. The meat quality is solid--the wagyu beef and spicy pork belly usually hit the spot on the grill. On the hot pot side, the pork bone broth is a safe bet, and the spicy broth actually has a decent kick to it. Also, they have those little fried buns with condensed milk that are dangerously good. They give ice cream at the end with a cone which is sweet dessert. The vibe is super lively and loud, definitely not a quiet dinner spot. They even have those robots rolling around bringing out plates, which is kind of funny to watch. Service is quick; you just order everything on your phone and it shows up fast. Just remember the 90 minute limit. It's clean, modern, and you'll definitely leave feeling like you need a nap. Great spot to hit with a group if you're looking to get a lot of food without breaking the bank.

    One of the best Korean bbq/hot pot places for sure. Definitely worth the wait, you won't be disappointed!

    As someone who hasn't been around Korean BBQ in years, I was happy that their hot pot selection was fairly robust and allowed me to have a pretty substantial meal for $36. My friends and I came here around 17:30 and were able to nab a seat. I think anyone coming after 18:00 should expect a wait and to sign-in on the Yelp waitlist ASAP. You first select your individual hot pot broth before then picking up to 7 items to order from the menu. They have the usual meat options as well as veggies, noodles, and a special menu with app items. Their veggies and plant-based protein choices were quite impressive. Lots of leafy greens to choose from, a ton of tofu and curd options, and even some steamed dumplings. I ended up ordering a lot of greens plus frozen tofu and their hand-pulled noodles, and was stuffed by the end of the 90 minutes. Sauce station was near the door which wasn't the best location if I'm being honest, but the options are quite robust. As a vegan, I already knew what sauces were and weren't suitable for me, but I'd recommend googling something you're unfamiliar with if you aren't wanting to consume something containing fish sauce or shrimp paste, etc. For a place that has this many options for plant-based eaters, I can't deny that they really did hit the spot and had something for everyone.

    I hardly ever give 5 star reviews but after trying a bunch of different hot pot/KBbq places across California and Las Vegas, this is still one of not my very favorite. The service seems to always be very prompt here, they come back quickly and frequently to see if you want to order more. They do limit the number of items you can order at once but they come back so frequently it's not a big deal. We always get here right at opening for dinner and have always gotten seated right away even with the line outside. On to the food, they have a very big menu with lots of different choices for both the grill and hot pot. I love that they have individual hot pots and quite a few soup choices to pick from that a lot of places don't offer. I always pick the curry broth and my sister likes the Tom Yum. Their meat is decent quality and have a lot of beef, pork, and chicken options. They also have a large variety of veggies, noodles, and seafood to pick from as well. Their cooked food menu is also pretty extensive and everything always comes out hot and fresh. They now offer fried rice as a choice too. Their beef pancake, XLB, veggie dumplings, Chinese donut, and pumpkin mochi are a few of the cooked foods we love. This is also one of the few AYCE hot pots/KBbq that have dessert. They give one scoop of ice cream for each person but they also have some dessert items on the menu you can order too such as the fried buns with condensed milk and pumpkin mochi. They have a lot of large tables for big groups and some small tables as well. There's a sauce bar and the bathroom is usually clean. Overall based on service, their extensive menu, and food quality this is still one of my favorites!

    Just went to Superhot for the first time and got to try both AYCE hotpot & bbq at the same time. It's normally one or the other at most places. Join the online Yelp waitlist prior to arrival for faster seating. Didn't realize they have a special table that has birthday sign decor! Will request that next time. We were served by Osvaldo and he is amazing! Excellent service and he treated us like regulars. Would definitely ask to be seated in his area again next time. Each round, choose five meats and five of everything else like noodles, veggies, sides, dessert, etc. Our order: Miso broth Bone broth Kimchi broth Mushroom broth Brisket American Wagyu Beef Belly Short Rib Ribeye Beef Tongue Lamb Shrimp paste Mushrooms: enoki, king, black fungus, shiitake Quail Eggs Corn Bok choy Spinach Tofu puffs Fishball w/ roe Shrimp head on Tripe Three flavors dumpling: chives, shrimp, pork Biang Biang (hand pulled?) noodles Ramen Rice paper Fried dough (Chinese donut) Popcorn chicken Japchae Cookies n Cream ice cream cones Yogurt flavored soju to share The menu is extensive and I totally forgot to order fried potstickers. Next time! Love the variety of items to order and there's a sauce bar to mix/match ingredients. They even have raw eggs to add to your hot pot! My sauce mix of choice includes: Minced garlic Chili oil Sesame oil Sesame sauce Mushroom sauce Ponzu Green onions The cookies n cream ice cream cones ended the meal on such a cool, sweet note! I shall return!

    The highlight of the restaurant is its service. The servers always come by quickly to get more orders and make sure you leave full. Unfortunately the food quality is unremarkable but is fine for the price Pros - Large menu with lots of choices - The servers were kind and came by the table frequently - The food came out quickly Cons - I tried over ten different cuts of meat and none of their quality was particularly good. This is somewhat expected at an affordable(ish) AYCE place but I was just a little disappointed that there wasn't a dish I really liked

    It's been years since my review of SuperHot back in 2019. I did go once in 2022 with my guy friend, and I remembered that it was pretty good that time. This past Sunday I was craving Mumu Hot Pot, but unfortunately they were closed due to renovation so we ended up coming here. We were seated right away as they were not that busy during the lunch time. Our servers were nice and pretty attentive with changing our grills and asking if we'd like to order some more items. The price now is $38.99 for AYCE versus back in 2019- it was $29.99. I get it...inflation. That's okay. What we didn't like was the broth and bulgogi. We got the House Spicy broth, which only tasted spicy and no flavor. It was bland and spicy. Then the bulgogi was too salty so we didn't order more of that one. We did like the galbi and the spicy pork belly. Those two were flavorful. We also like the biang biang noodle and the veggies- napa cabbage, corn, pumpkin, lotus root, enoki mushroom. We also two drinks, Thai iced tea and HK lemon tea, which were refreshing. One of our servers asked if I was married, and then he talked about dating advice, which was kind of funny. Lol I didn't mind it. He brought me an extra ice cream cone so that was definitely a bonus! Hehe We do love how they added a dessert now after the meal so we chose the strawberry ice cream cone. Delish! The place still looks the same with the bold red and black decor.

    Came today for another dinner and loves everything again! the online ordering, the fast (very very fast) service and separate thanks to our waiter Osvaldo: he was amazing and very attentive! this time besides just the Korean barbeque also had the hotpot and everything was 10/10!

    How much time in advance should we sign up on the wait list for a party of 11, 7:30pm target on a Sat night?

    They do honor your Yelp waitlist as long as you show up in a reasonable time. As far as reserving for a party of more than 6 people, just call in and rsvp at least 1-2 days before.

    Is there parking?

    There is no private parking for the customer however there is plenty of public/street parking. One parking lot is located on Blossom Lane which is very close to the restaurant. There are also three parking lots along Hope Street as well.

    Do you open on Thursday Nov-24 ? If so can we reserve it online? Thanks!

    Yes. They will be open on Thanksgiving day, regular hours.

    Can you order Korean bbq and hot pot at the same time?

    Yes! I was able to enjoy both!

    Is it all you can eat?

    Yes it is for either hotpot or KBBQ or both. $33 per person

    Can i eat alone?

    Does the outdoor seat open now for lunch?

    Just called they only have indoor dining

    I went to the business on Sunday, 1/16/22 but the sign says that they have maintenance issues and should reopen on 1/17/22. I've been calling but no one answers and now it goes straight to voicemail. Anyone know if they've reopened?

    Yes they are open. Health score is not very good at 78/100, so hoping if the closure was due to maintenance, that the score will go higher and improve

    Will they be open on Christmas?

    Yes

    What is a "wait list" and how does it work?? Do they take reservations?

    When the restaurant is crowded, they activate waitlist so customers who don't have a table yet get on it in and wait for a table to open up for their party. You can join the waitlist via Yelp App/Using their checkin Screen at the front entrance. I… Read more

    Are you open on Labor Day?

    Yes

    Is there currently outdoor seating? How do you make reservations?

    No outdoor seating.

    I was wondering if anyone knew what peanut sauce they use? It was so good. I wanna buy some.

I will say that sometimes their broth is a bit spicier than described, so just keep that in mind! You can always spice it up with the sauce bar if it's not spicy enough for you. The service is usually fairly good. It's self serve while you build your bowl of toppings, most of the service is at the beginning then just refilling water and giving you a to go container. It gets pretty busy, so it can be noisy and a bit of a tight squeeze between tables. The wait isn't too bad though because there's a lot of tables!

My daughter couldn't resist trying everything and her mix dry pot was over two pounds. She took leftovers home. I selected 4 beef rolls, half a tube of soft tofu, two shrimps with the head, two lobster/crab fish balls, two types of mushrooms, baby bok choy, broccoli, and achoy. It came up to 1 pound 4 ounces and I selected the tom yum soup. It was a little salty but delicious and more than enough for one meal. I dipped it in chili sauce for added spice. There was a spice center with different spices, green onions, & sauces. It is one pound minimum for $14.99 lb. I was super full. Next time, I would take half of it home. Service was great. We walked up to sign in and they asked how many and gave us a table. We filled our bowls and someone was sitting at the assigned table. The cashier had someone move them so we were all good. The place is actually clean considering all the different bowls of raw ingredients to choose from. Tables were white with plastic orange/black bowls, chopsticks, and orange plastic spoons. It took less than 10 minutes for our bowls. Everything was hot & heated thru. They also refilled water. Employees weren't overly talkative but they were polite.

PARKING: decent parking, it's around other places so it is in a lot but if it is a busy time it would be pretty hard to try and get a space.

We came in with a party of six for dinner on a Monday evening when the restaurant was relatively quiet, with only a few other tables occupied. We asked if it would be possible to combine tables so our group could order multiple broths and enjoy the meal together because sharing one pot for a party of 6 gets a little crowded, but the request was denied despite there appearing to be plenty of available space. As the meal progressed, our broth became extremely cloudy and thick from cooking. We politely asked if we could receive a fresh pot of the same broth--not a different broth, just a new pot so we could continue enjoying our meal. Unfortunately, this request was also denied. The broth flavoring was also underwhelming and started to taste the same after our first refill. What made the experience disappointing was the lack of flexibility and willingness to accommodate reasonable requests, especially during a slow service period. Customer service and hospitality are an important part of the dining experience, and we left feeling that our concerns were dismissed rather than addressed.
