I give the food a 3/5, but an extra star for the exceptional customer service! I stumbled across this on Yelp and was immediately intrigued by the Spicy & Beef Tallow Bear. We can on a Friday night and got seated immediately. Our waitress was very informative about the menu and portion sizes which helped because we were only a party of two who weren't trying to over order. I mainly default for a tomato broth and some type of beef, so opted for Wagyu here. I can say that the Wagyu was pretty chewy and unfortunately not my favorite, but I did enjoy the tomato broth although it was pretty oily. I also enjoyed the Lamb Spine too, it came in a huge portion that gave us leftovers for a full meal the next day. The food is flavorful and the presentation is very nice. I probably wouldn't come back regularly but maybe if I were in the area!

My coworkers and I reserved tables for 25+ people and had a hot pot extravaganza. Tables were prepped and ready to go when we arrived. Every item on the menu was ordered, and my favorites were the Spicy Beef soup base + tallow bear, beef, beef tendon, fish roe ball, lotus root and pumpkin. The ingredients were quality and fresh, and service was quick to ensure each table had what we needed. Excellent hot pot flavor with plenty of fresh meat and seafood options. Would highly recommend!

Time to share my experience at Jiuding Flavor Restaurant! We got mild spicy, bone soup, and mushroom soup base, and the bear butter?? is so cute! But Idk why they put bean sprouts on both of non-spicy soup base. lol Compare to the other hotpot spots the price of the items here is so acceptable, and the portion and quality is above the standard in Bay Area too! I minus one star on the review because of the customer service, it was not even busy when we were there, but the servers didn't really attend to us. Hopefully they can improve their customer service.

There's a decent amount of seating. The service here was great and they consistently check up on you. There's also a sauce bar which was nice. This place is great for groups. This place is not AYCE, but you can definitely get full from the decent portion size. The price was reasonable as well. I got the spicy and beef tallow hot pot. Everything here was good quality from the soups to the vegetables to the meats.The ingredients were fresh and tasty. Definitely my favorite Chinese hot pot place in the area.

Came on a Saturday night and it was such a great experience! We were seated right away. You can choose between 2-3 different style broths with no extra cost: our group chose the seafood, bone, and tomato paste broth. I liked the seafood and tomato paste broth. The bone one didn't have a strong flavor and tasted a bit bland. We got the beef, pork belly, tendon, and intestines for protein and the quality was pretty good. Also recommend the mushroom platter for vegetables. The sauce bar has some of the best sauces I've seen offered. The meat sauce was really good! There's also a grass jelly dessert (pretty darn good!) and oranges that are available at the sauce bar. Our group was so full and pleased with the experience. Would come back again if in the area.

An absolute hidden gem!!! I only have a few hot pot spots that I frequent in the Bay Area so I wanted to try a new restaurant. I stumbled upon Jiuding on yelp and it had such great reviews so I knew I had to check it out. My boyfriend and I came for dinner on Sunday and had an incredible time! We got the spicy and beef tallow hot pot and the three fresh hot pot for our bases. Both had excellent flavors but I was a huge fan of the three fresh base. Highly highly recommend! And all the ingredients were fresh and delicious. T meat was great quality and there was so much variety in general. Service has never really stood out to me at other hot pot spots but the service here was noticeably great. They made sure we always had enough napkins and checked in to refill our broth once in a while. Such a friendly and attentive staff! Compared to other non ayce hot pot restaurants around here, Jiuding was much more affordable and the quality was just as good if not better. I will definitely be back!

My brother and I came here spontaneously on a Thursday night and the restaurant was pretty filled but luckily we got seated right away. Make sure to go to the sauce bar while you're waiting for the food to come out; they even have free grass jelly. We settled on getting a split broth; we got spicy and beef tallow and tomato soup. We both preferred the tomato. We also got the lamb and beef combo, pork belly, vegetable platter, quail eggs, fish ball with roe, lotus roots, and udon. All the meats were good and the ingredients were tasty and fresh. My brother said this place was significantly cheaper and a good value compared to other non-ayce hot pot spots in the area. Definitely worth a try!

The food here is amazing. The broth, the variety of meat and veggies, and the sauce station are really good. This place is definitely worth your money. The service is amazing. They will refill our table with water constantly and they will checkin and ask if we want to top off our broth if they think we are running out. The place is great for groups and the place is well lit with amazing decorations.

Very reasonably priced hot pot restaurant, you can order multiple soup bases and they will give you a split pot. They are not AYCE, so you order a la carte but everything was very affordable and will easily fill you up. The ramen and noodle dishes were extremely big, so no need to order one portion per person (unless you want to!). On the other hand, the meat dishes were fair in portion size, so scale that up if you want more meat in your meal. They have a sauce station with a few options so you can make your own sauce mix, and a grass jelly pot too for dessert. Staff came by multiple times very quickly to ask if we were ready to order, but were still patient with us as we figured out what to order. The English translations were not all that great, but we sort of figured it out via trial and error. Overall, the restaurant is a bit on the small side, so come early to avoid a wait and they do have some bigger tables in the back.
