Yoshi En Skewer Hot Pot Market

It's absolutely fire ! Everything like freebies They've provided everything like spicy chicken feet, sesame balls, mussels, sweet soup and all sorts of fruits and various sauces. I went the cheapest deal $59.99 four-soup-base bundle--meat, veggies, duck blood, totally fire! While waiting for the pot, I could not stop eating chicken feet and sesame balls, so hype I forgot about the cooking speed. Those chicken feet let me free, and the sesame balls let me fall (unlike those $1-a-piece ones in East Bay!). The soup bases are legit, clear, rich, and not salty, packed with visible herbs. Perfect for dunking meat and seafood, then slathering with that secret sauce. We ate like we were in a war, the staff kept bringing tissues! And get this, it's so dope I didn't smell like hotpot afterward. I'm sorry I thought the ventilation was just for show! Finished up with a DIY fruit dessert at the buffet. I'm definitely coming back, bro! 'Cuz the staff are total rizz!

Really love the decorations here, it is a really cute spot. We ordered half pork bone broth and half tomato broth. Both were super delicious. My friend and I ordered the Spicy Beef, Vegetable Combo, and Braised Beef. All were delicious. They had some small snacks and great dipping sauces!

New hot pot spot in Fremont. It's almost a 100 percent Chinese crowd AND busy but they turn tables fairly fast. Wear clothes that you don't mind smelling like spice, lol. The food, service and atmosphere are awesome

I’ve already visited this restaurant twice during its soft opening, and I have to say, it’s off to a promising start! The space is modern, clean, and well-maintained, making for a comfortable dining experience. One standout feature is their snack bar, which I find comparable to HDL—but with the bonus of offering unique snacks that HDL doesn’t have. I really appreciate this variety, as it adds a fun and distinctive touch to the meal. I visited on both a slow and a busy day, and the difference in service speed was noticeable. Dishes arrived much quicker when the restaurant wasn’t crowded, whereas during peak hours, the wait time increased significantly—likely due to staffing shortages. Hopefully, as they settle in, they’ll be able to streamline their service. As for the food, the meat quality is excellent—fresh and flavorful. One item that really stood out to me was the celtuce bamboo, a rare find at most hot pot spots. I highly recommend giving it a try if you’re looking for something unique! Overall, while the restaurant is still working through some growing pains, it has a lot of potential. I’m excited to see how it evolves!

I absolutely love this hot pot place! They have a great selection of authentic, high quality, hotpot items (including some of my favorites like duck blood and chewy noodles). I like how these items are self-serve so you don’t have to wait. I especially love their complimentary appetizer bar. They have high-quality unique appetizers there, including chicken feet and clams. And of course the salted peanuts are great 🙃 This is my favorite hot pot in the bay Also parking lot big so hasn’t been that hard to find parking.

The fresh ingredients and variety of food options were impressive, and the all-you-can-eat dinner was reasonably priced. The service was good—nothing outstanding, but it met my expectations overall. I will definitely be going back for another round!

🌟 Xi Fu Hotpot Two-Person All-You-Can-Eat Experience: A Hotpot Feast Beyond Expectations! 🌟 [Even a free experience can be top-notch 💯] I was incredibly lucky to win the Xi Fu Hotpot two-person all-you-can-eat meal! I originally thought that free events would be lacking, but everything—from the service to the food—exceeded my expectations. It definitely deserves a five-star review!

Why not selling those cute panda dolls.

I’ve tried 3 串串 (hotpot skewers) places in the Bay Area and this is definitely my favorite! I went to the LA one last year and was amazed by it and therefore was so excited when I heard we now have it here as well. I went there with high expectations but it still didn’t disappoint me! The soup broth tastes perfect, food quality is great, and good selections of free snacks/fruits/dessert. We got medium spicy and is already quite spicy, and my spicy tolerance is quite high. The ambience is also great, servers are nice. The only thing I’m a little sad is that I don’t get to eat any eat lamb skewers - I didn’t see it in the fridge. Not sure if it’s they don’t have it or maybe I’ll have to look harder next time. Anyway I’ll definitely go back! Highly recommended if you like spicy food.

Now offering all you can eat for $36.99 for dinner. I added specialty items frog legs for additional $3.99. So many selections beyond what we can order from the menu. Cold dishes including spicy beef jerky and spicy clams. More items like different meatballs, seafood, beef skewers, vegetables in their refrigerator that customers can pick themselves. Really worth the price. I spent around $30 for non- AYCE hotpot restaurant. Highly recommended to come here for dinner, more selections. The american wagyu itself worth the extra price.

The restaurant had a fantastic interior decor The highlight of my experience was the authenticity and quality of the food. The flavors of the hot pot and the skewered items were truly authentic, providing a genuine taste experience. The variety of ingredients available ensured there was something for everyone's preference. However, I did encounter a few issues during my visit. Firstly, the refill process at the small food counter was quite slow. It took a while for the staff to replenish the items, resulting in some waiting time. Similarly, the refill of fruits was also slow, causing a delay in enjoying fresh fruit. Additionally, the queue at the skewered items station was quite long. It took some patience and time to get our desired skewers, which slightly impacted the overall dining experience.

If you are into spicy hotpot, this is the best tasting place in the Bay Area I have found so far. The service can be slow if it’s crowded, and the environment is average. But who cares? We are here to eat some good food, not stare at the decoration.

I had a blast dining here! It was my first time trying skewer hot pot and I would totally come back. The place fills up so we came at opening to avoid the wait. You order the broth base with the server and grab what you want to put into your hot pot from the fridge. A note on the spiciness level, the mild here is quite spicy. It feels like the equivalent of hot or very hot in most other places. You can get veggies, meats and other food to add to your hot pot from the fridge. The prices are based on the color of the containers. Skewers are in the fridge too and they're $0.50 each. Some skewers have 2 sticks so that's $1.00 each. You can also order more meat and other food options from the server or through the app but we didn't find it necessary for the most part. We did order the rice cake dessert which was wonderful. I think it's so cool how they calculate the number of skewers for the bill. They take a pic and software counts it instead of a human, makes sense! I highly recommend coming here, and with a big group so you can try more variety!

It was my first time trying this type of hot pot, and I was pretty excited. I love hot pot so adding a different type of experience is great. Since we had never been here, when we were seated the host told us how everything works. The concept is pretty simple, you go to the refrigerated area and grab all the skewers and trays that you like to eat, then bring it back to your table and start cooking. Each stick costs $0.50, and some items have two sticks in them. It was mostly the meat items that had two sticks. There are also other items on trays such as noodles, innards, mushrooms, vegetables, and other items. You definitely need to pay attention to the color of the tray, as there are different price points when it comes to the trays. They also have a sauce bar and other appetizer type items available. I think my favorite item on the appetizer bar were their seasoned peanuts. Overall, I think this is a great concept and the cost is not too bad. I honestly think if you stick to getting only sticks and not a ton of items on trays your price point will definitely not be too bad. You are also able to order some things through that app. Service is okay, I wasn't too sure on who you could ask for refills of water. Most of the experience is do it yourself so you don't really need anyone to help you.

Very good

I like them overall except that my major complaint is that the sesame balls, water mellon and other items need to be refilled faster. I don’t understand why sesame balls would take an entire hour to be refilled? We actually didn’t see the refill and we left 🤣There is willingness to come back but there is work to do!

Everything good, only disappointment is i was told they offer original soju here, but in fact they only have flavored ones, which we usually don't drink, tastes too sweet

Terrible experience — fried rice was unsalted, and instead of making a new one they just re-fried my returned dish. $7.99 for half a sausage sliced paper-thin, with zero service. Never coming back.🙂‍↔️

Had dinner with my family tonight and had one of the worst dining experiences in a long time. A server carelessly spilled melted ice water from a squid plate all over my bag and personal belongings while clearing the table — then walked away without even noticing. When I pointed it out, he gave a half-hearted “oh sorry” and showed absolutely no sense of responsibility or concern. No apology, no attempt to help, not even basic decency. Now my bag reeks of seafood, and my things are soaked. Completely unacceptable behavior and shockingly poor service. The staff clearly lack training and professionalism. I would strongly advise against coming here — go to Haidilao next door instead if you actually want to be treated with respect.

Two people forced a tip for five people. When I paid the bill, they told me that they had already chosen 18% for me. What right do you have to help me choose?

Are the high ratings all fake or did we came at the wrong time? Got trick coming in from the high ratings. Horrible customer service and too expensive for the amount of food. Once we got situated, the servers never came to check on us. All the stick skewers were tiny pieces and only a few amount were left (not refilled), same goes with the self serve side dishes. I would rather spend my hotpot money at HDL in the same plaza.
