3 Kingdoms Hot Pot

Amazing hot pot place! My family and I visited on New Year's Day for lunch and it we really enjoyed the food :)The restaurant itself is pretty small, but is decorated to mimic a traditional Chinese street which is pretty cool. Service was fast too, although there wasn't that many people when we were there.For soup base, we got two different types--mala house special butter (little mild) and chicken soup. I personally enjoyed the mala house special butter. It does err on the spicier side of the scale, so keep that in mind when ordering!The beef, lamb, vegetables, tofu and more were all really fresh and yummy. There is a pretty wide selection of food, from seafood to red meat to tofu, vegetables and noodles.The one downside is that it is pretty expensive, but you can choose portion sizes so I would recommend getting small plates if you want to try more stuff! Overall, I really enjoyed my time here so I would recommend if you're in the area!

Food: okService: decentAmbiance: good decor, but feels run down for a Sunday lunch hour

I had a wonderful dining experience at 3 Kingdoms Hot Pot What impressed me the most was their small-portion dishes, which are perfect for people like me who don't have a big appetite. It allowed us to try a variety of dishes without worrying about waste--so thoughtful!Additionally, the average spending per person is between $20 and $30, which is very reasonable and makes it a great choice for casual gatherings or a light meal.The staff are really friendly. If it's your first time then they will help you choose the best options. The restaurant has a cozy and inviting ambiance, perfect for casual meals or celebrations Most importantly, the quality of the food was exceptional. Every dish was fresh and delicious, with great attention to detail in both ingredients and flavor. Overall, this is a restaurant I'd definitely return to and highly recommend to anyone who appreciates quality dining!

Came here on a Tuesday at 5pm with a group of 4 and didn't have to wait at all. Overall a pretty solid hot pot place with good broth and meat and had a good meal.However, rating it 4 stars because I feel like they don't have that many options compared to other hot pot places I've been to. There was only udon for noodles, and not many variety for balls. The price was also on the pricier side, so I feel like for the variety and amount of food you get isn't as worth. The sauce bar also didn't have as much small dishes as I thought they would (only chicken feet) and the fruit was canned and stale. Icecream was really good though!Cool to try if you've never been, but I think I would probably try another place next time

The spice is insane. Definitely my go-to for spicy Chinese hot pot. The restaurant is tucked away in downtown Mountain View where the streets are always alive and beautifully lit. I was surprised to find out there were two floors - first floor is also shared with Teaspoon and second floor has karaoke rooms! I've been many times and service is usually quick, but on some days (busy or slow) I've been forgotten before. They have a variety of soup bases to choose from and I usually go for half original beef spicy oil base (medium spice) and half sauerkraut fish/mustard green base. The menu included many options for hot pot toppings and they all came out fresh. The meat tastes and looks high quality. They have a sauce/snack bar (~ $3-$4 per person) which is convenient. I also found it convenient to order Teaspoon from the QR code as well and it came straight to my table. I will be back soon for sure.

I've heard about this hot pot restaurant for a long time, and this is my first time trying it. I ordered the Yuan Yang hot pot. The fish maw chicken soup base costs an extra $16 and has a light flavor. The beef oil Chongqing broth was ordered with a mild spice level, which felt just right for someone who can't handle spicy food . The ingredients were all very fresh. They currently have a New Year promotion offering free shaved ice (four flavors of ice cream), which pairs perfectly with the spicy hot pot. Overall, the prices here are on the higher side.

Never fails. The hotpot base is cheaper than a lot of other places (Liuyishou, Haidilao etc) but the ingredients are on the pricier side. Amenities include: sesame balls, shrimp chips, strawberry and chocolate ice cream to top off an extensive sauce bar! The staff are always super sweet and very accommodating! If coming here be sure to double check the offers for that week-- last week I got two free beers with a valid ID. There's also an upstairs karaoke room that I haven't utilized yet but hotpot plus karaoke sounds like quite the combo.

Called on a Friday night and they happened to have a table for 5 available! Overall a very authentic experience - the hot pot flavors and ingredients are exactly what you would get in China (not Americanized at all). They also had a free sauce station which included side dishes! Like chicken feet. This also means the broth is quite spicy, as in "mild" is quite spicy already. We had a great time, and everything was delicious (except the tripe was not very fresh), and we finished the meal with free soft serve ice cream!

Very exciting place to have tandem dinner and karaoke with your friends, whether it be for a celebration or just to hang out. The hotpot was very authentic, and the meats were of great quality. We got the mixed broth, and the spicy broth was very spicy (but great!) They have a very extensive menu, and all of the food was of pretty high quality and very fresh!To book a karaoke room hotpot experience, you can make a reservation while indicating as such, and you may need to pay a deposit to reserve the karaoke rooms. However, the staff was very helpful and the whole process was very seamless and smooth! There's a minimum spend for use of the karaoke room, but with a large enough group, it definitely is a steal considering that you have both hotpot and karaoke at the same time.You can also order Boba from the Teaspoon downstairs directly through their menu, and they'll send it over as well! Perfect pairing for the spicy broth. A great place to visit!

Excellent hot spot option. High quality meats, with flavorful base broths. imo slightly cheaper than Haidilao, without all the crazy waits.Since my family doesn't like spicy, we got two non-spicy broths that were both quite good - the mushroom broth and the pork broth. Both were solid. I liked that the pork broth even came with pork stomach.I love the sauce bar, where you can also get sesame balls (actually quite good), shrimp chips, green bean soup (not good basically all water no green bean), chicken feet, and fruit.We got a bunch different meat and vegetables. Don't miss out on their crazy special deals for $4 a plate of beef. We also got the mixed special tripes (who knew there were so many!), which tbh was too much tripe for us, but it was fun trying all of them (I think my favorite was the golden one). Unfortunately, I can't remember exactly what beef / lamb we got, but honestly all of them were good. Besides meat and veggies, we also got an order of ciba (chinese mochi) that was quite good.
