Great hot pot spot next to Uc Berkeley. They serve alcohol and it’s perfect for those who are freezing and need some nice soup. There is plenty of parking with a parking lot right next door. Can’t miss it. I’d recommend the seafood. Don’t know what the other reviews are talking about but it smells amazing! Would come back again!

Went here with a group for my birthday and loved it. Decently priced for Berkeley, super friendly service and satisfying variety of meats, veggies, other add ons, and sauce options included in all you can eat. Everyone gets a personal hotpot and broth choice. Lovely atmosphere! I would one hundred percent recommend

Quite a disappointment, we love trying new hotpot places, saw this was new, the reviews looked decent t so decided to give it a try and drove 40min to get here. What a disappointment. We were the only table which is fine, the all you can eat option was placed in fridges that were low on the ground, and minimal choices. If I was older I wouldn’t want to bend up and down to get the food. They were decently fresh, but the sauce bar I used crushed peanuts, it was so rancid it smelt so bad. The last probably was the owner was decent with her service, the dude probably the chef was rude. One my friend didn’t know the big tray was not for customer as they had it out on top and so they had multiple plates cause this restaurant put some food option on smaller plates so my friend combines some of the plates so there is less plate to take back, he screamed from the kitchen something, I’m assuming to keep the plate the lady screams back, then she proceeds to tell us to take all the plates with us. We also asked if there is more shrimp, she was like just eat whatever is here, if it’s finished we will add more….There was literally like 3 shrimp left that why we even asked! On top of all this there was construction going on across the street, it was so noisy and unpleasant. This will be the first and last time. It’s not even considered decently priced since it’s all you can eat, options are so minimal….

I recommend this place 100% AND I MEAN ONE HUNDRED PERCENT!!!
This place has the best tasting soup, the best and friendliest staff, and the lowest prices of any Hot pot place in the East Bay!
And their self-serve system means nothing goes to waste, you control the heat of the hot pot, you decide what goes in the pot, and the selections are incredible!
If the prices are a little steep at Hot pot Nation, and you don’t like the attitude at tasty pot, (they have been rude with me several times for no reason, I don’t go there anymore), then. THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. 5 OUT OF FIVE STARS.
最好的口味!最好的服务,最好的价格!

Absolutely incredible and delicious hot pot. For those of you that don’t know how hot pot works, it’s all you can eat. Each person selects a soup base, and what ingredients they want to put in their soup (meats, veggies, noodles, etc) on the menu with a little marker.
Then you go to the sauce bar and get additional sauces for your base if you want. Things like sesame oil, chili oil, sou sauce and others. They also have extra garnishes like garlic, cilantro, scallions, etc.
Next they bring you the soup base and everything you ordered, and you cook it on the table in front of you! It’s a really cool experience and always delicious since you get to pick exactly how you want it 🙂
Be mindful not to order everything on the menu because it’s a LOT of food. I skipped lunch and still couldn’t finish everything they gave me.
Also for the plant-based crowd, there are vegan friendly soup bases and it’s very easy to get all vegetables + tofu (if you don’t eat meat like me). Lots of different mushroom options which is my personal preference.
The staff was very friendly and attentive. Very reasonable prices as well. If you come, you better come hungry!!!
