Hot Pot Champ in SF is an absolute win. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is welcoming, clean, and lively—perfect for both group dinners and cozy catch-ups. What initially attracted us was the Ferris wheel presentation with the beef and lamb is suuuupppperr cute! Not only is it fun and eye-catching, but the quality of the meat was outstanding. Fresh, tender, and perfect for hot pot. The broth options are rich and flavorful, I mix the tom yum with my husband’s spicy soup and the ingredients across the board are top-notch. Service was attentive, friendly, and fast without ever feeling rushed. They’re happy to explain options and make recommendations, which makes the experience even better. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and everything just hits. Easily one of the best hot pot

Hotpot Champ in San Francisco Chinatown is absolutely amazing! It’s the only authentic hot pot restaurant in the city, and it’s an AYCE (all-you-can-eat) spot with great value. The staff are incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Food is fresh, the selection is great, and the broths are very authentic. Always a satisfying experience—highly recommend to anyone who loves hot pot!

Oo, I really enjoyed this place. I stopped by one day and saw their late night / midnight deal. Seemed like a great time to try on a Friday night, so we stopped by. Got their tomato and tom yum soup bases. They have a pretty extensive selection of veggies and noodles in the fridge that you can grab on your own. Then on the touch screen, you can order meats, small snacks, and other things. The staff was also incredibly accommodating as a vegetarian, but one thing to note is that when they refill your soup, make sure you let them know to give you the vegetarian version. I’d love to come again.

We visited this restaurant on 11/29 at around 9:30 PM for the all-you-can-eat hotpot. While the food quality itself was good, our overall experience was disappointing due to service issues. The wait time for each order was extremely long, and many of the items we received did not match the quantities (received 1/3 what we ordered—as shown in the attached receipt below). Even after spending about 1 hour and 30 minutes dining, we still did not receive sufficient food. Additionally, the service attitude was concerning. Our server showed clear signs of contempt and disrespect throughout the visit. At one point, she placed the ordering tablet onto the counter in a manner that felt unprofessional and rude. Although we appreciated the food, the service experience significantly impacted our vis

Came here with a group of 9 and we got seated at two different tables. Each table had one giant pot to split. Good: - You can choose 2 soups that you want - I loved the tomato soup base since it was nice and savory but not too salty - I liked how much variety there was in the AYCE options - the Ferris wheel of course is the most famous thing here - The appetizers were pretty great - there were glass noodles and tons of sauces - The mango coconut dessert was delicious! - Nice and private back area for groups Bad: - Overall more expensive, about $45pp after taxes Overall a really fun group activity!
