Liuyishou Hotpot (san Mateo)

Downtown San Mateo. Conveniently located. Easy to order menu. Vegetarian options. Food is fresh. We ordered the mushroom broth which was tasty. Modern interior. Lively background music. Great for family get togethers but not for quiet dining. Thanks to Jayce for the personal attention

this was our second visit to the last two weeks. we came here with our 2-year-old, the personal was friendly and delivered child dishes for the little ones. mix and combine good selection of sauces for them, the appetizers were different every time we visited. the broth was tasty and ingredients were fresh. we are coming back to the final.

There was a brief wait for her wallet, but this isn't your typical all-you-can-eat hot pot; they focus on a la carte options instead. The quality of the food is truly impressive. A word of caution about the hottest chili spices—they're not for the faint of heart! Only try them if you're prepared for the heat, which is quite intense, even for avid hot sauce enthusiasts.

This restaurant offers a truly authentic Sichuan-style hot pot experience! The ingredients are fresh, the broths are clean and flavorful, without any artificial taste. We even got to participate in a Lunar New Year game where we spun a wheel and won a delicious shrimp paste that was exceptional. The assortment of vegetables, bamboo mushrooms, and thinly sliced meat were all delightful as well.

Lunch time,,, one side spice one side herbs...two soups..great Presentation..for alcart order Sauce table is the only thing different than other hotpot places The meat ball Selection was different it was all freshly made ,everything else of course is slice frozen and the seafood was also frozen. In all a nice place to enjoy an hot pot... Definitely will we back again There were some items on the menu that I have never seen at other hot pots .

Walked in with my friends on a Thursday evening and this place was extremely busy around 7:30 pm. They did not take reservations on phone when we called, but after a 25 minute wait, we were seated on our table. One of the heat source on our table was not working and so getting our soup piping hot for the meat to cook faster was a bit of a challenge. Vegetarian and non-vegetarian broth were served in the same pot (half and half) and we would've liked this to be separate ideally. Service was ok, noise levels at average. View menu

Good hot pot and the broth is very spicy. Food is very fresh. They also have the ingredients bar which has wide selection of sauce and fruits. I recommend most of the items but not the shrimp paste with fish roe the fish roe disappeared in the broth right after you put them in so you actually only have the shrimp paste left. It's much cheaper if you just order the shrimp paste alone and there is no flavor difference at all. Service is mediocre though. They are too busy to listen to any requests and not attentive either.

We go to dinner with friends, and we can get a table without an appointment. And sanitary and safety measures are well done. Every table is separated by transparent plastic plates, and the tables are equipped with disposable alcohol. The bottom of the hot pot is delicious, and there are many ingredients. You can take it from the table where the ingredients are placed. Put it on the ingredient table with peanuts, edamame, fruits, etc. You can eat it at will. But the waiter's service needs to be strengthened, with one star missing.

In A Nutshell: -Liuyishou Hot Pot is a fantastic hot pot restaurant. -The location is on the corner of 3rd Ave San Mateo Drive in downtown San Mateo. -It's a modern-designed building that invites you in. -Inside feels exquisite that is before the wonderful hot pot smells enter your olfactory system. -The menu seems basic, but let me tell you that the choices are very good bountiful. -One word of caution is the spicy broth, it's VERY SPICY, becareful. -The mushroom based broth is the best choice since you can walk over to the sauce bar grab the spice there. -There's also a nice selection of fruits, the watermelon was very good.
