The Claypot House

Our clay pots were delicious (salted fish with diced chicken, and house special lamb stew), with perfectly crusty rice. We like spice, so added a little of their pickled peppers and pickle juice to our clay pots. The pea sprouts we ordered (off menu) were tender, with a little garlic. Appreciated the free tea and soup. Service was friendly and efficient. Basic tables and dinnerware made it feel even more authentic.

Nostalgic and authentic! Really filled my claypot craving, and will return for some traditional canto herbal soups. They had plenty of soups on the menu that my mom made for me growing up. Pretty quiet on a Thursday night. Many Chinese elders were in to enjoy dinner, which is a great sign on the food quality. We enjoyed the yellow eel and Chinese sausage pot and the sausage, duck, preserved meats, and fish fillet pot. One claypot was crispier than the other and had more rice crust. The restaurant gave us complimentary soups which I enjoyed a lot. I think there is either a secret menu or just on request to order sautéed veggie greens because some tables around us ordered different plates of greens but I didn't see it on the menu. Lots of traditional Chinese desserts on the menu which were

They’re fast but I wish the crust was more full, good variety of clay pots. Also not all the meats were super good quality like the Chinese sausage could be better. Good that they serve with soup.

Probably the one or very few spots that do clay pot rice in San Francisco. There’s times where I crave for this and wouldn’t mind the drive. Service is always great where I leave satisfied. Their menu got smaller most likely because of Covid where there’s only clay pot and other rice options versus having entree items like back then. It’s always great to come in a hungry appetite because their rice bowls are definitely more than enough for one person it I always finish mine. Definitely will be back!

Fantastic place for chinese food. Excellent claypot rice, especially the pork and scallop rice. But to be honest the lotus leaf rice stole the show. Well marinated rice steamed in lotus leaf, locked in the flavor and taste. Lady boss and her son are also very helpful. Easy parking in front of restaurant is also a plus
