IPOT

iPot is my favorite hot pot place when in San Francisco. Great selection of soup base, sauce, and menu items. They even have a good selection of pots: two-soup-base pot, single soup base pot and half-pot-half-grill. It's a boil-and-grill-eat-all-you-can place! Their handmade biang-biang noodles are awesome. It is something you must experience. I wouldn't have discovered this place if I didn't see it on YouTube via Mike Chen. After seeing his best hot pot places in San Francisco, I scheduled to go as soon as possible. I wasn't disappointed at all. Around 5pm, it gets real crowded and street parking is a bit difficult. Since they are open up to midnight, the late hours aren't that busy, but people still come and go. It's surely worth it. You should experience them for yourself.

i appreciate being able to choose my own individual pot, which also comes with a mini grill plate. makes the food more interesting, because I can cook them in different ways. ends up being about $35 for ayce. good sauce selection and also has a fruit bar. comes with a scoop ice cream at the end of the meal (tho you may have to ask for it). their biangbiang noodles are A+

Good place to go for all you can eat hotpot, $29.99 per person and there is a $20 charge for food left. Recommend new Zealand lamp, fried bun,and any home made noodle. Dishes can be added any time, great service. Waitlist available via Yelp.

Watching an Instagram of Mikexingchen, we decided to give IPOT a try. We were not disappointed. The service was good, and the food delicious.

We liked that everyone got their own "station" for their hotpot. You could get broth or a broth and hotplate, which is what we did. The other fun and appreciated area is the sauces. You have the freedom to create your own sauce to your own taste.

Definitely worth coming back to the city for this gem!
