Hotpot Nation 鍋天下

The food is always so good here!! Located inside the Pacific East Mall, it was easy to find parking and easy to locate this restaurant! Especially because of its delicious smell!They have a lot to offer when it comes to soup base and the food items! We ordered a variety of beef, pork, mushrooms, tofus, veggies and noodles!They had good and attentive service which made us feel comfortable eating here. It was not too busy so we got sat quickly, not too lively but not too quiet.

I gave it it try and here is my review. I called to see how it works. Mind you I am used to all you can eat hot pot really helps with the unknown if you will like the food or not. I would say for $100 plus tip it is not worth it. All though the presentation is nice I can't say that it's good hot pot. It's beautiful inside and clean.

I've been eyeing this spot for a while, and I never wanted to bite the bullet and try it because of the prices + it's not too often I have a group big enough to eat hot pot together.They finally started doing individual pots, so I decided to go with a friend. I was quite disappointed because of how flavorless the broth was. I also felt a lot of the ingredients were freezer-burned or something, because there was a very off flavor to everything except the veggies and the meat on top.I probably wouldn't come back for the individual pots, but maybe with a group to do normal hot pot.

As we've been meaning to try Hotpot Nation for awhile now, my wife brought me here last night to celebrate my birthday. They have a Yelp Waitlist, but as we arrived early around 5:30pm, there was still plenty of available seating and no wait necessary. Service was very friendly and helpful, and our waitress made sure to run us through how to order. She recommended ordering the soup base first, which I highly recommend to everyone while you're deciding the rest of your order. As the base does take a bit to heat up.We opted for the House Special Colagen Pork Marrow Broth, which was VERY rich and flavorful. Highly recommend this one if you're uncertain which to choose. The charge the soup by the number of people at the table, even though everyone is just sharing one pot. They have several platter combos to choose from, which are much more economical than choosing individually. We opted for the meatball platter, which had a nice mixture of different protein types within. And ordered several meat and veggie plates separately to supplement. All of the ingredients were very fresh, and tasted great! And the sauce station had a nice, diverse amount of sauce options and condiments to mix and match from. At the end of your meal, you can even ask for a take-out container to take home the delicious broth!The place did start to fill up quickly as we progressed through dinner, so it is recommended to come early.

We had the bone broth and Szechuan hot pot, steak, vegetables, fish balls, beef balls...If you don't like heat go mild

this seems to be our go to for my husband's dinner. this year the birthday special was 10% off the bill, and since our party was more than 6, they added 18% gratuity. We like the fatty beef, good broths, attentive service, and clean food overall. Some places the broth is not that "clean" or things are very salty, but not here. It's kinda no frilled (not much by way of other appetizers) but it gets the job done.

I have been here a couple of times and have been satisfied. I have hotpot at home too but I enjoy the broths here. Once I tried the spicy and it's definitely got a kick that had the top of my head sweating. I also think the herbal broth is delicious. There's a variety of items to make your own sauce, and the staff is friendly. I think the wall of pots is cool too.

They finally added individual pots! Prices differ for lunchtime and dinner time. Usually for more expensive pots it'll be closer to $20-25 each. The staff were super friendly and checked in often throughout the meal! The inside is also organized and maintained well. The food was good. If anything i just wish that we got a little more meat. This broth was good but a little heavy but not greasy or anything just filling.Overall pretty good experience, good place to drop by with friends and family! Super nice and homey environment and its cold inside which makes the hotpot sit well

We chose the spicy mala soup and the Collagen Beauty Milk Pot for our hotpot. For the meat, we ordered the combo, which included Special Fatty Beef, Lamb Shoulder, Pork Belly, Pork Shoulder, and Thin Sliced Chicken Breast. While the milky soup had a decent flavor, the spicy base soup wasn't as spicy as we expected, and the flavor of the soup base was a bit off. Despite ordering the spiciest version, it lacked the expected kick, so we had to create our own paste at the sauce bar. The overall quality of the meat was good, but for three people, the combo didn't quite satisfy our appetites. We ended up ordering another meat combo with Special Fatty Beef, Marbled Beef, and Lamb Shoulder.Additionally, it's worth noting that they charge for sauces separately for each person.It isn't bad, but it leans toward the pricier side compared to other AYCE hotpot spots in the Bay Area.

We went to Hotpot Nation on a Saturday early evening around 5:30 PM, and we were one of two parties there so we were able to get promptly seatedFor our hotpot, we had the spicy mala soup and the Collagen Beauty Milk Pot. For our meat we ordered the combo of meats, which included Special Fatty Beef, Lamb Shoulder, Pork Belly, Pork Shoulder, Thin Sliced Chicken Breast. I would say that the flavor of the soup was not bad, however the soup was not really that spicy. For the meat, the quality is also pretty good. For three people, we did not feel the combo was enough so we then ordered another meat combo, Special Fatty Beef, Marbled Beef, Lamb Shoulder. Overall, I would say that this place is not bad, but it is on the pricier side for what you get compared to other hotpot spots in the Bay
