XPP Claypot - Slow cooked Clear-Braised Beef - Chinese Near Me - Cupertino, California

Tasty and the atmosphere is good. The decoration is modern. It could be slow to receive the order

The clay pot was amazing! Great flavor, tender meat, and a generous portion. One of the best dishes I've had recently. Highly recommended!

Excellent flavors today. The chicken celtuse is my favorite of the day. Also... darn!!! Second visit and still haven't been able to order the braised intestines!!!! read more

Amazing clay pot AND great dishes. Some standouts include the Street-Style Potato Slices, and Mapo Tofu. One of the best Mapo Tofu I've had. Tastes fresher than most and has great spice level. Service was quick too even with a full house. read more

XPP Claypot - Dinner - Chinese Near Me - Cupertino, California

The wait can be long so it's ideal to go at off peak hours. First time here and was very satisfied with the selection of dishes we ordered! There's something unique with every dish so they complimented and balanced each other really well. The vermicelli noodles had a lighter flavor, and the shrimp tasted fresh and had a nice soft but chewy texture. This can get burnt if left on the hot plate too long without stirring, so stir! The potato slices is probably one of my favorites. The sauce is very delicate yet complex, it has some spice, umami, sweetness, and it just ties together incredibly well with the texture and taste of the potatoes! Highly recommend. Drench that potato in the sauce, you won't regret it, but be careful it has a slight amount of heat. The fried pork seems basic, but once you take a bite you'll notice that the meat is marinated with some Sichuan peppercorn and salt. It's subtle but definitely differentiates it from basic fried pork. The chili powder is salty with a slight white pepper flavor , and has some heat, perfect pairing! The tender beef and tofu is probably another favorite of mine. It's unlike something I've had before, it has a clean, light, and homey flavor. Simple but flavorful, with the beef being very tender and pairing nicely with the silken tofu. Roasted green chilis give the broth a rich and roasted flavor, with a great contrast with the fresh green pepper. Such a great comfort food or dish when sick or cold outside. Lastly, the spiciest of all (be careful), the Rustic Chili Minced Sirloin Beef. It's a little zesty with a roasted pepper flavor as well that carries through the beef. The dessert was just what we needed after the spice - warm, crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and a slight peanut-y and sugary sweetness from the sauce. Portions are generous, perfect for sharing with 3+ people if you order more than two dishes. The potato slices is a smaller serving, like an appetizer, and after a huge meal, you'll struggle eating more than two of the rice cakes :) read more

How has this place not popped off yet?? My friends and I loved the dishes we ordered here, and we'll be back with our parents who will love them even more. More traditional flavors I would say (pork intestine isn't a common favorite body part lol) and they have a lot of spicy dishes as a Szechuan restaurant. Delicious though! They have good deals going on like signing up for their free membership for discounts on dishes as well as an additional discount for paying in cash. Add all the deals to your cart (their menu is a barcode scan) to apply them to your total! Taro & Pork Rib Clay Pot ($21.99): I love me some soft taro soaked up in yummy pork broth with fall off the bone pork bits :) Celtuce & Braised Pork Intestine ($22.99): An acquired taste, but it is a taste I acquired. Celtuce is a veggie similar to cucumber/asparagus. The intestine was super tender and chewy. Wasn't too spicy; the spice flavor is like the numbing mala peppercorn taste. Shredded Green Beans Crispy Pork Lard ($17.99): Perfect for your veggie dish! Interesting I've never had shredded green beans though it sounds so simple. Loved it! Crab Roe Tofu Pudding ($17.99): Our server (who was so nice and was the only person waiting on the entire restaurant Wednesday night) recommended we order a bowl of rice ($1.99) to enjoy with this. So glad we listened to her because it was perfect to soak up the sauces! Can't go wrong with a tofu clay pot. Spicy Pork Knuckle ($28.99): Omg this thing was ginormous. A lot of meat and fatty skin hiding on it with the bokchoi. The sauce reminded me of a spicy fish I often get! Well lit and nicely designed inside; a water pitcher with lemons was already waiting for us when we were seated. It's a far drive for me but I look forward to trying more menu items! read more

A lot of authentic Chinese dishes that you wouldn't find elsewhere. The ordering is using a QR code which I don't really like, not as easy to browse the expansive menu. They have high chairs for little ones. The prices were reasonable and the food was great. I really liked the pickled fish soup dish that we got. The soup was tasty and sour with the pickled veggies. The pork with taro clay pot had a thick and rich soup. It was delicious as well but the pickled fish was my favorite read more

Friendly dedicated staff!! Food looked super yummy however I was a little bit disappointed. One of my soup lacked flavor and in fact they admit that the chef forgot to add salt and they did offer to make a fresh new one which I declined. Still I would go back to try again just because I could tell everyone super nice and wanting to do the right thing. read more

I came to the restaraunt that replaced one of my favorite bobas in cupertino. This area is very competitive and already has other claypot restaraunts so I hold any new place to a very high standard. Since it took over a boba store, I expected it to not have a lot of space, but it was decently spacious. There are lots of tables but the tables are a bit small. We could barely fit our claypots on the tables. You order with QR and service takes a while due to claypot nature of the restaraunt. we ordered 3 things: lava tofu, beef pickle claypot, and intestines claypot. Literally all 3 items were amazing. - celtuce is very soft and melts in your mouth. - meat is tender, and broth is very flavorful - tofu flavor was amazing. Not sure I could pinpoint it. Maybe some kind of egg? The portions were gigantic. We had to take it home, but it ended up lasting 3 meals. by far this was the best claypot we've had in the area. Hands down coming back again. read more

Wow, the food here hit the spot. I was pleasantly surprised, but I might be biased because the dishes here are just what I normally prefer. It's hard to not give this place a 5 stars when all the dishes you try have your favorite ingredients done right. The intestine with celtuce = perfectly seasoned. Intestines were soft. Celtuce helps balance out the greasiness. It had the perfect hint of slight spice. My fiance really wanted to try the spicy jelly noodle, so we did. The sauce was pretty good - very vinegary, but surprisingly my fiance was okay with that (he usually doesn't like vinegar taste). The cold noodle in sesame sauce was pretty good. They premix it for you so you don't need to worry too much about spreading the sauce around. The sesame paste was a bit subtle, I personally would prefer more sesame paste, but I just scooped more of the sauce from the bottom of the dish and that helped satisfied some of that craving. Private parking lot, but it was surprisingly full considering that it's a new restaurant. (Or I'm just used to the empty Mr Sun parking lot) read more

"Let's go to that place with the spicy fish and intestines..." "Shang Cafe?" "Yea, but I can't eat spicy tonight." *Face palm* Dining with peeps who can't eat spicy or think black pepper is "spicy"? XPP Claypot got 'em! Opening last month, XPP Claypot has been a hit with the local Cupertino community. It seems we were the only non-Mandarin speaking customers so you know this place is legit. Expect a wait during peak hours. We signed in at the kiosk and the wait was about 20 minutes on a Saturday evening around 6 pm. You'll receive a text when your table is ready. M E N U Sichuan-style claypot dishes with an extensive selection of non-spicy dishes. For some dishes, you can customize the salt level. Place your order via QR code. F O O D * Crispy Pork & Hand-Beaten Meatball Soup 酥肉手工丸子双拼 ($17.99): https://tinyurl.com/2tfwbe78 What makes this soup special is the texture contrast of the crispy pork and soft, bouncy meatballs. BUT, the crispy pork was mixed into the soup, rendering them unpleasantly soggy. Loved the meatballs tho...it had strong ginger essence. * Braised Pork Intestine w/ green peas 豌豆肥肠 ($19.99): https://tinyurl.com/bdyecxru Rich, meltingly soft and gelatinous pork intestines in a savory gravy. More aesthetics than anything but the peas were brownish green from overcooking. * Taro & Pork Bone Claypot 原味香芋排骨煲 ($21.99): https://tinyurl.com/238vavj3 Comforting homestyle dish with tender pork ribs with fluffy soft, nutty taro. The latter breaking down slightly creating a delicious, creamy broth. * Whole Tomato Braised Beef Brisket 一颗番茄牛腩 ($21.99): https://tinyurl.com/4n9ut547 Another homestyle dish, popular among many regions in China, this was my first time having it claypot form. While the beef brisket (rough flank) was tender, it tasted like it was braised separately and dumped into the tangy tomato broth. It was lacking a rich, slow-cooked flavor. * Crab Roe Tofu Pudding 金沙蟹黄豆花 ($17.99): https://tinyurl.com/4ka82tmk The final dish was THE standout that I wished I reserved more stomach space for. Soft, silky tofu cubes swimming in an incredibly savory, umami-rich crab roe and crab fat sauce. UGH, it was soooo good over steamed rice. GET THIS! S E R V I C E Friendly and prompt. Despite being packed, we received our entire order in about 20 minutes. A M B I A N C E Formerly Mr. Sun Tea, the remodeled space is sophisticated yet casual with 18-20 tables and warm earth tones. Hope they consider turning it down a notch or two as the lighting felt like you're spread eagle at your gyno's. Chinese rap playlist. When the weather is warmer, it will be nice to see tables placed in the front patio for outdoor dining. Overall, we enjoyed the comforting, homestyle claypot dishes and thought the value was there (plenty of leftovers). I had order envy with the burn your booty hole dishes on other tables - I'll be back for you, spicy duck claypot! read more

Located on Stevens creek blvd , right next to panda express and cross the street from the whole food. There is some parking when we arrived Sunday night around 6:45pm, the restaurant were 80% occupied- 3 tables left. We got greeted when we walked in and seated by your will -- nice. The restaurant has modern and minimalist atmosphere, clean and neat. The appetizers , cold dishes served right away, but the clay pot and stir dishes took long . Due to crowd and some order issues, the dishes took long. After talking with the waiters , they were nice to acknowledge the issue and try to do nice things for us-- bring extra drinks, rice :) the attitude eased the situation. Turned out the two dishes we waited long were the highlights of our order - beef tendon daikon clay pot and stir fried marinated vegetables with beef ( really reminded of my mom's cooking). Dishes are on 3-5 ratings, recommend the clay pots more than the cold dishes took long. Overall, this round experience with some hope 4-5stars. Good place for friends, family ( be aware of some dishes by default are not kids friendly- a little spicy ) read more

New claypot place in Cupertino. Huge potions and delicious food. We ordered 3 dishes for 2 people and had half of the food to take home. Everything comes in a clay pot which was super nice. Crab roe tofu pudding 5/5: so good, has a strong crab and roe taste, addicting! Taro and pork rib clay pot 3.5/5: the taro and soup were a really nice flavourful combination. Wish the meat quality was a bit better. The table next to us had a lot more taro; i think we would have liked that better (ours was mostly crumbled pieces). Spicy black duck clay pot 5/5: quite spicy as expected from a sichuan place, but delicious. So much flavor and duck was perfectly cooked. This was partner's favorite. Only annoyance is that they charge for rice. read more

The complimentary Liangpi (cold skin noodles) is sour, sweet, and spicy--delicious! The shredded chicken cold noodles couldn't be more refreshing for summer. The Glacier Eggplant is quite unique and very tasty. When my friend saw the note saying "delivery not recommended," they thought it was because the ice would melt, but it turns out we were just fooled by the name, haha! Absolutely loved the meatball and crispy pork soup. The handmade meatballs are very fresh and juicy, and the crispy pork is also great. The broth was a bit bland for my heavy-palette taste, but overall, highly recommended. For the Chopped Sirloin Beef, the menu marks it as four chilies, but you can ask the restaurant to make it mild. It's incredibly fragrant. My friend doesn't eat much spicy food and felt that the mild version was right at their tolerance threshold. Still, it's a highly recommended dish! The only point for improvement is that the Liangpi lacks a bit of chewiness (jindao); it would be even better if it were a bit springier. read more

I came in thinking this would be similar to DX Chicken Rice, but it actually has its own thing going on.

Environment is clean, clay pots do keep the temperature well. Service feel a bit slow. Portion is huge, flavor is better than homeeat, but has room to improve, for instance, the pork intestines I can only taste spicy but no spices. Huge chunk of fat still attached to the beef, which can be resolved by slow cooking or just chop it off. read more
