Bel Cool Tasty Pot

????好吃，比湖南印象更辣 味道也不错。

The flavor here is really good! They have a menu you can order from, and you can also do a make your own hot pot, where you pick the vegetables and meat you want, and they weigh and charge accordingly. You can pick spicy flavor as well. I ordered mild flavor and it felt a tad bit spicier than that.

One of the most authentic spicy pot in bay area

Interesting new restaurant that offers pick-your-own-ingredients dry pot. You pick anything you want from the meat and vegetable selection, choose your spicy level, and they cook it into a pot for you.

Note that spice level is pretty high here, I usually get medium spicy level in most restaurants, but here mild is at about the same level. The frog legs were really plump and tender, that was the best thing I tried. The tofu skin, however, was very dry and tough, do not recommend this ingredient if you like the soft kind. Was a shame since tofu is my favorite protein.

Servers are very friendly! But make sure you have cash. I don't know if it's strictly cash only but they really didn't want to take my credit card. Also is on the pricey side, my pot was slightly more than one serving's worth for me, and was $23.50 pre-tip.

Awesome Szechuan food. Highly recommend their house made Dan Dan noodles and their Chonqing chili chicken.
