Liuyishou Hotpot (San Mateo)

Spicy Chinese hot pot. Tastes not bad. They have adequate service people who are friendly and react to my needs quickly.

And dressing is local Chinese flavor. You must try it.
There are some good choices and fruit in self-help food bar.

If you can't eat spicy food, I suggest you would not visit it. But you like try some spicy, I strongly recommend you visit the restaurant.

Incredible hand made fish paste (虾滑) and seafood. The fried dough filled with fish paste is also a must-try. Literally everything is great, fresh and good quality. A bit pricy but totally worth it.

A little on the pricy side but one of my favourite hotpot places! Ingredients are very fresh and the broth is extremely rich in flavour. Don't miss out on their AYCE sides bar for refreshing dishes and occasionally tofu desserts.

A great place for a traditional hotpot. Large variety of meats, veggies, mushroom, tofu and a great selection of various sauces. All of that brought to your table. Also you can choose various base soups. Make sure to make reservations, the place was full by 5: 30pm.

Cool ring of half-beef half-lamb makes it easy for everyone to share around the pot. Loved the classic spicy broth and the tripe, not for those who cannot handle spice. Neat interior, wish the price wasn't as steep. Sauce bar is also an extra charge. No wait on a weekend lunch.

Didn’t try their food yet, but they were kind enough to let me use their bathroom! Super clean and they even have mouthwash! The food did smell amazing when I walked by—might try it some time

This place has pretty reasonable prices for meats and veggies considering the selection. Service is quick and efficient. Some things I really don’t like is how high the prices are of the soup bases and how they charge you for a sauce bar… $3.50 a person for sauce is pretty ridiculous especially because the sauce bar is mandatory for hot pot, that’s like asking you to pay for your milk and sugar that you add to coffee!

Quality of meat is pretty decent as well for the beef and lamb but the pork belly was not the freshest looking in color

Excellent service and very authentic Chinese hotpot. Come early if you don't want to wait

I think the hotpot is a little over priced. I still like the flavor. But the portion size is very underwhelming. I would rather buy the ingredient and have hot-pots at home instead. Usually. We spend $40-$50 per person, but still leave this place a little hungry. So I don’t think I will come again!

A little overpriced, platters don't include vegetables, and look bigger than the contained food.

Front desk service is extremely bad. We started waiting at 6: 15 when there were 5 tables ahead and they keep letting people before us to sit down first and we ended up waiting for 1.5h. The front desk person is screaming at me and doesn’t listen at all.

One of the best hotpot place around the Bay Area. The price is pretty reasonable too compare to some others hotpot store around here. Can't wait for them to open their next store at Seattle

This hotpot place is very clean and food is very fresh. The only downside is that they do not allow bringing drinks. I just bought boba tea nearby and was told I need to put the drink into their fridge otherwise I can’t dine in.

Most of food is good, Short rib, duck blood is good especially the pork trotters taste delicious.

Like the beef and lamb “donut shape” tray around the hotpot. They have all you can eat side dishes, my favorite is the black fungus cold side dish with sesame oil and other sauce.
The food are fresh and taste good, a lot of sauce options to pick. Will recommend other to go and will come again.
