Happy Lamb Hot Pot

Woo, no more drive to San Mateo ! Don't let the look fool you. The inside is nice and clean . Portions are huge so make sure to start off with a few items. And get the half and half soup !

2 bowls, 4 people/2 bowls, 6 people. Anything more or less isn't ideal. You can call to make a reservation for parties of 6 or more.

Asian people everywhere - all the way downstairs to the entrance because it's that busy. Friendly service and meat is not bad. Just needed a place to watch the game.

Best place for hotpot in the greater downtown area by far. Nothing is quite like the spicy broth . Bring spicy loving friends and get only the spicy broth !

They even have vegetarian option ! Let it boil for a bit, the flavor deepens. Good for the price!

Definitely go for the hot pot . And avoid to eat those spicy ingredients. There are there for the flavor. Its just great

Get the spicy broth and make sure you order a side of sauces (garlic , sesame paste , chili oil , special sauce )

Solid and reliable hot pot but the lines to get in are out of control. Joining the waitlist on Yelp doesn’t help much - you can still expect to spend 2 hours or more hanging out in the stairwell.

Bring your friends! Fabulous for groups. Lots of vegetarian options .

The meat portions are on the small side but great place for a sit down lunch . Also, not crowded .

The broth and the lamb are the very best! The portion is very generous!

As a spice fan, my spicy broth was impossible to eat. The server questioned my strength when telling me to remove (5 small bowls of!!) the red peppers from the soup . Terrible hot pot experience.

Spicy sour hot pot is my favorite, lamb dishes are the best.

Great food to warm up to cold SF nights.

Hot pot , especially the lamb .

The quail eggs are canned quail eggs . Not that bad but not as good as dropping a raw one in and getting a poached egg .

Always a line here. If you like spicy food , this is a good place.

Try the plum juice . It's smoky and amazing.

All you can eat tuesday nights, from a limited menu

So cool! Very nice experience

get the enoki mushrooms ????

Not recommended. Plain soup base cost you 4.25 per person. Very sneaky. Most of the items are 4, 5 bucks for small quantities. More expensive than others.

Pace yourself, prepare to stretch your stomach muscles

Lamb , beef , and broth.

Hot Pot picante , slides decordero wooow

You no longer have go to to San Mateo to get your hot pot fix

Shen Ji Hot-Pot !

Waiters rude and orders do not come after 1hr of repeated reminders! Hot soup fail!

confirmed. They have MSG in their soup base. Sad
