Seapot Hot Pot & Bar

Seapot Hot Pot in Sunnyvale offers a fun, interactive AYCE dining experience. You can stick with hot pot or add $5 for the BBQ option, which opens up even more protein choices. The rotating belt is a great touch—veggies, seafood, and other ingredients pass by constantly, and the small portion sizes make it easy to sample a bit of everything without feeling overly stuffed. The plates are refilled often, and the variety is impressive, with items like cuttlefish, razor clams, squid, tiger prawns, and more. We opted for the premium meat upgrade, but honestly, it didn’t feel worth it since the meat quality didn’t stand out compared to the standard selections. Still, the overall experience is enjoyable, unique, and great for groups.

Seapot is an all-you-can-eat conveyor belt hotpot place with an option to add on BBQ. Our group of 6 made a weekend lunch reservation and had a great time. Our server especially patient and attentive (much better than the San Mateo location), and we didn’t have to wait too long for our meat orders. We didn’t have any concerns with the meat except the rib-eye was noticeably leaner than the wagyu and the beef toro. I had the Thai broth which had a nice sour tang that wasn’t too spicy. There is a quirk where while most hotpot burner controls are on the side of the table facing you, two of the six burners on our table had the controls on the cooking surface itself which wasn’t obvious - ask your server if you can’t find it. The sauce bar was extensive with cold appetizers and fruits as well.

Do not come to seapot with a large party for KBBQ. We made a reservation for 6:30 and when we got to seapot we were told we were gonna have to wait up to 15min extra for the table. We ended up waiting 30min. The staff told us there were people that were going over the time limit and they couldn’t do much about it. Finally when we get a table, there is only one grill that will not be enough to cook meat fast enough for a group of 8. Even with cooking as fast as possible everyone was having to wait 5min+ for some food. A new term was created: “Beef Drought” to describe the lengthy periods of time after a round of beef was cooked.

Eh, it’s not common to see an all you can eat BBQ, especially near here, but I think its the reason why it’s popular; and not more so because of its quality. The reservation took so extremely long, and i mean EXTREMELY long for decent food at a high price. The soup was decent and there are different varieties, and the variety of meat is also decent, but i feel like because of how uncommon these sort if restaurants are, they have this prestigious reputation despite giving mediocre food. For example, despite being extremely expensive, you have to wait in a long line just for sauce like your in high school. Further, I think there was only one dessert option and it was these macaroon ice cream which cost $5, which i think is pretty overpriced for the quality and size. Also, if you don’t eat e
