If you're looking for a nicer / fancier spot for hot pot, I'd recommend checking out Wagyu House. They have a great selection of high quality meats (Wagyu + imported Japanese Wagyu). The interior feels more up-scale! And great service. We ordered the Chef's Tasting for Two which was perfect. For soup base, the Golden Chicken Soup was super flavorful. It balanced the spicy broth we got - Spicy Dripping Pot. SUPER spicy. It's definitely pricier than most hot pot restaurants. But worth a try!

I came here once to treat my little brother before he left for university, and the experience was incredible so I came here again for my own university graduation lunch with friends and family :] The experience is phenomenal and I loooove the atmosphere. The service was so kind and helped us through each step since the choices were overwhelming haha. The food was so good, even my friends who aren't used to Asian cuisine enjoyed the food here a lot!

I had an absolutely fantastic experience during my visit! Our waitress Victoria was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever being intrusive. She greeted us with a warm smile, offered great menu suggestions, and was quick to refill drinks and check in on us at just the right moments. Her positive attitude and professionalism truly enhanced the dining experience. The timing of the meal was perfect, and she made us feel right at home. I couldn’t have asked for better service—definitely a 10/10 experience! Highly recommend!

Food was delicious, very high quality wagyu and delicious soup bases, the strawberry shaved ice dessert was phenomenal, a bit on the expensive side but very good place for a celebration or dinner outing. Our server Brian was very friendly and accommodating. He seemed to really care about our experience and I would definitely come back here again.

This is our third time to X Pot and we have had a great experience each time! The food is soooo fresh and delicious. The soup bases are very flavorful. The sauce bar is stocked with everything you need, including snacks! The service is always wonderful. Nathan, Stacy, and Betty were our serves this time. They were so helpful and friendly. Nathan helped us sign up for the membership the last time we were here and it’s definitely worth it! You save a lot of money. We will definitely be back.

Enjoyed my lunch here at Wagyu House! Staff was courteous and explained the ordering system. The meat quality was excellent, broth was delicious, plus the sauce bar gives you freedom to mix your own dipping sauce.
