In cities with a Chinatown, weekend mornings bring dim sum carts or order sheets, and lines form early at the most popular spots in San Mateo; walk-ins are standard and reservations are uncommon outside large banquet restaurants. Regional labels matter: Cantonese, Sichuan, Hunan, Shanghainese and Taiwanese kitchens cook very differently, so a restaurant's stated region is a better guide to the food than the word "Chinese" alone. Some smaller restaurants in California are BYOB with no corkage fee; call ahead to confirm. A tip of 15-20% is customary for table service but not expected at counter-order takeout. Spice level, MSG and allergen questions are normal to ask before ordering, and most kitchens are happy to leave an ingredient out or tone down the heat if you mention it when ordering rather than after the food arrives.
Hours are published for 7 days a week. On most of those days it is open 11 am–3 pm. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. You can reach Seapot Hot Pot & Korean BBQ at (650) 459-4426; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions.

Customers rate it 4.4 out of 5 on Google across 991 reviews, placing it among the better-regarded hot pot in San Mateo.
San Mateo is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and San Mateo follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

I've been here twice and my experience has pretty much been the same. It was a little bit chaotic as I've always come with a group of over 10 people. The food is good. I always get the Sukiyaki soup base Hot Pot. I prefer main dining room seating over the private rooms as you can get most of your ingredients (sea food, veggies, tofu, etc.) from the conveyor belt. In private rooms, you need to order from the ipad and it takes a while.

I’ve visited both the San Mateo and Daly City locations, and I personally prefer the San Mateo branch. The pastries here taste fresher and seem to be made with better consistency. The food in general also feels fresher and higher in quality compared to my experiences at the Daly City location. Another thing I appreciate is the service. The staff are efficient, attentive, and quick to help, making the whole dining experience smooth and enjoyable. Overall, I enjoy eating at the San Mateo location much more and will definitely keep coming back. Great food, fast service, and a welcoming atmosphere! 😊

We were here for the weekday lunch AYCE. We arrived around 12:30PM on Thursday and it’s not very crowded. The service was great. Kudos to our service Tara! We ordered the soup base and the first order of meat shortly after seated and she frequently asked if we would like to place additional orders. There’s a large selection of food, meat, vegetables and seafood. Absolutely worth the price. It’s only $23.99/pp for weekend lunchs, soup base, meat order, appetizers, seasonings all included. You can’t beat this!

Had the best time! We booked a room for a birthday and it was a lot of space for a lot of food and it was perfect. Really great service, everyone was really kind especially with such a big, silly group like ours. Will definitely come back!! (We spent a bit more than the average patron including drinks so price per person reflects that)

Overall it was a good experience The broth and sauce selection, along with the variety of meats and vegetables, were all great. Honestly, the broth flavor was probably one of the best we’ve had. One thing to note is that it’s not very kid-friendly since there aren’t really appetizer options. Service was a bit slow, especially for items that aren’t on the sliding tray it definitely takes a while for those meats to come out. Luckily, we were with friends and family, so it gave us more time to hang out and enjoy each other’s company, but it’s something to keep in mind if you’re in a hurry. Overall, great food and flavors, just expect a slower-paced dining experience.
