Top Pot - Restaurant in Pacifica - 63 Bill Drake Way, USA

Kicking the New Year off a review of my ultimate favorite hot pot spot in all of the Bay Area!!! You have to trust me on this one. Whether you're craving hot pot and/or bbq, you can get the best of both worlds all to yourself. Love that you can choose a broth and also grill at the same time. Huge selections of meat, veggies, appetizers, soup bases, sauces/toppings, etc. All the ingredients are SUPER FRESH and HIGH QUALITY too! It's really hard to compare to other hot pot places. Not a single item I don't like on their menu. Some must tries on the menu (imo): - The biang biang noodles are a must have! - Chinese Doughnut (soak this bad boi in your broth, your tastebuds will be enlightened) - Beef belly is great on the grill!! - Beef tongue (get your moneys worth) - Fried bean curd - Chinese yam - Lettuce (idk what it is but their lettuce is so sweet so good) - Fried taro - TIP: put some green onions + oil on the grill until soft. Pair it with the meat. Flavor explosion. Thank me later. :) Service is always top notch here. They're attentive and I never had to chase down someone for something. I like the seating layout where it's not too cramped and you have enough room to breathe. Plenty of parking outside the plaza which is what keeps me coming back! Note: They only take reservations for parties of 6+. Wait times can be long esp during dinner time so if you don't want to wait, come right when they open for dinner. Don't underestimate the wait time for weekday dinner either. Highly recommend! You will not be disappointed!!

SUCH good value, good service, and quality ingredients! And I love supporting small business owners! It’s family run and we’ve been supporting Jason since opening and they’ve never disappointed! I stopped bothering to go to Supreme Pot or Grand Hot Pot after coming here. My husband’s favorite desserts are here- fried donut w condensed milk and steamed custard buns *The only reason we would go to Grand Hot Pot is for the karaoke hot pot rooms :P

Honestly, a good place that offers a personal hotop plus being able to grill meat. Service has always been great, even if you are eating outside the heaters keep you warm. Also having eggs as a bar option is a game changer. Would highly recommend. Justkeep in mind that whole group needs to be present in order to be seated.

Great convenient location, food selection, ample parking, and overall service. There's a parking lot in the adjacent plaza (across the street) and ample street parking. It is also a block away from the ocean for a good wall after eating. It is an a you can eat place that offers shared pot (traditional) and individual pot and grill option! They take reservations for parties of 6 or more. Reservation options for shared large pot (can split into two different soup bases) or individual pot/grill combo. Keep in mind that individual pot options are more difficult to come by as they go fast. Don't miss the tasty appetizer options! Make sure to go for the ribs! Amazing amount of choices. $35/person AYCE. You won't be disappointed.

Best hot pot in the bay. Kind of expensive but you get what you pay for. Ingredients are very fresh and lots of variety for appetizers and pre made food too! Service is great, they get you your order super fast.

Grilling and Dipping all in one sitting is a great combination. This hot pot spot combines having a grill to sauté your meats and a pot to boil your meats. They have plenty of different meat options and noodle options so you can always find your preferred combination. We love slice beef, pork belly, and beef tongue, so definitely find your combo and enjoy. @phidingthefam

We love it here and try to come by every special occasion. There is usually a bit of a wait, ~1hour but it's totally worth it. We have a 17 month old and every time we come here the staff is so welcoming. The food is great, the options are awesome. Fried sesame balls are 💯. We will definitely be back!

I love this place! But I wish they had a little more options for the sauce bar. The food came out fast you can do hot pot or bbq. They also have a split pot that had a mini pot with grill
