Very good selection of meat! Came here with my wife and had an absolute blast! Also had the Tom Yum & Schezuan broth and they were both amazing. Went with the meat lover’s meal for 2 and it was more than enough to be full on. The vegetables that accompanied it was exquisite as well. Will definitely be coming back here. The sauce bar is very clean and organized very well. Highly recommend this place to anyone who enjoys authentic hot pot!

Came here with 2 GFs and loved it so much, that we came back the following weekend!! The ingredients are so fresh with a nice selection of broth choices. They give you a large platter of veggies, tofu, and noodles. The meat selection is top quality, and I also loved the shrimp balls with fish roe inside. We enjoyed making different dipping sauces at their make your own sauce bar. Im hooked and definitely will be back!! Note, they dont take reservations, and it does get crowded... but you can always go next door to 85° bakery to load up desserts to enjoy after your hot pot!

The vegetables and ingredients are fresh and well prepared. The sukiyaki broth is sweet and rich, and the sauce bar has good sauce selections. The environment is clean and bright.

Food tastes delicious, but the menu and options are pretty small. We got a meat lover combo for 3 people, and the portions were great. However, the set up is unlike a traditional hot pot where the pot is in the middle. Here everyone has their own soup station. Since the meat lover combo only came with two soups though, our third person constantly had to reach over to grab portions of soup and cook their meats/veggies, but those with soup pots in front of them just ended up just cooking for our third person. The set up is just awkward for sharing. We had to ask for soup bowls and spoons for everyone to accommodate this. Still, I highly recommend the miso soup base and butter spicy soup base.

I LOVE THIS PLACE! HANDS DOWN THE BEST FOOD AND PEOPLE!Love the seating and the atmosphere. It has halal food!! But only one option - which is fine because there are literally no hotpot or ramen places with halal meat options. So, Im glad even if it has one option.Highly recommended! You wont regret going here.

A great hotpot place, food is awesome, thin cut beef is perfect for hotpot. Price is reasonable. Only soft complaint is the Szechwan spicy soup base is not too authentic and not spicy enough. Would highly recommend!

Luv the layout, food display, good soup bases, and sauce bar. A go to place if you’re craving for hot pot. We had the mushroom soup, sukiyaki base, miso and Szechuan soup. My kids said if you like sweet, that was sukiyaki. As always post wherever your palate takes you. We traveled 45mi. Since not much in our area.

First time here. The staff is welcoming, but they are quick. They talk really fast so when our server was explaining the process, it was difficult to understand him. Luckily the menus provide a written explanation.The food comes quickly after ordering. Then the work begins. Cooking our meats and veggies was fun and its a quick and easy process. This meal is satisfying and healthy. Its a great experience and a good way to bond with family and/or friends. Give it a shot!

Tables were separated with a divider to keep parties separated. There is a sauce station so you can mix your own sauce combinations and get as much as you need/want. We got the smaller meat lover combo. It was $58 and said it served 2 but was plenty of food for 3 of us and a toddler. The broths were very flavorful and to be honest, we didnt really need the sauces for the meats but it did enhance the flavor. Veggies were fresh and meats were high quality. We will be back!

We went there in Oct 29, 2023 and this place is popular. The wait time is about 20-30 minutes at Sunday 5pm. Set choices and easy to order using the QR code scanning. The seasame sauce is amazingly good!!! Especilly two of us got this season green numbing hot soup base and it is very spice, the sesame sauce can ease the spiceness.

For hot pot this far out in the suburbs, it was pretty good. Combo sets rather than all you can eat, but the portions were still very ample. Sauce bar was a bit limited but otherwise no complaints.

Dont waste your time here, go to happy lamb nearby. No wonder this place was completely empty. Went with a party of 3.Unbelievably bad. Food was overpriced and mediocre compared to literally any other hotpot nearby. To make matters worse, they mixed my meat orders with my friends vegetable orders on accident somehow...these are not supposed to be combined to begin with!! Hope you like bloody vegetables. Ordered wagyu which likely wasnt even wagyu as it had basically no marbling at all, and one other plate of their non-wagyu high end beef. Friends ordered some beef and veggies. Tasted like very mediocre beef. Portion sizes were tiny. Didnt even finish my food despite it because the quality was atrocious.Service was beyond unacceptable. We made our orders through their app, which barely worked, and the server didnt even turn on my stove for the pot.... didnt get us water either until we complained after 30-40 minutes at which point we had already needed it as we had started eating. Served plates to the wrong people, served the broths to the wrong people.Despite our terrible experience they gave us a discount, which still had our bill totalling over $120. The same orders of food at any decent hotpot place would have been around $100 pre-discount, and much higher quality.Atmosphere was bleak, just like my outlook towards the place after we finished dining.Never ever going back.

We loved mumu hotpot! The lamb is explicitly stated to be New Zealand lamb which is halal for those looking for that, and there are plenty of vegan soup broth options too.

Embarking on a dining experience at Mumu Hotpot Restaurant was like stepping into a haven of warmth, flavors, and communal enjoyment. From the moment I entered, I knew I was in for a memorable culinary adventure. Mumu Hotpot not only delivered on its promise of exquisite hotpot cuisine but also went above and beyond to create an atmosphere that fostered a sense of togetherness and delight.The moment I settled into my seat, the attentive and friendly staff made me feel like a valued guest. The restaurants contemporary and inviting ambiance set the stage for an extraordinary dining experience. The aroma of simmering broths and sizzling ingredients filled the air, heightening my anticipation for the feast that awaited me.The menu at Mumu Hotpot boasted an impressive array of fresh ingredients, ranging from succulent meats and seafood to a tantalizing selectio

Often full Friday and Saturday evenings. I would recommend making a reservation through their Google assistant service at their Google page. It worked for me.Cost $25 for single set and 58 for a double set. Double set comes with 2 side dishes and single set none. Side dishes a la cart cost ~4-6. One set comes with a set of veggie (cabbage, bok choy, broccoli), tofu, mushrooms, some starch like a slice of yam and pumpkin and choice of rice/noodles and choice of meat (lamb, wagyu, angus, chicken).For sides I recommend shrimp paste! Must try!Parking is often full on weekends but can still find space.Service is always friendly! Really enjoy the people that work here! Always in a hurry but can see they nice people and trying to be helpful.They have free WIFi here.

We’ve been here many times. It’s now basically our go-to place to feed our sudden hotpot desires. The ingredients here are amazingly fresh so they come out super tasty. Service is great too — they start by asking you if you’ve had hotpot before so definitely don’t be shy if you don’t know how this works.

Classic flavors, worth the wait:)combo portions are big, recommend Mumu combo two plates of meat and two sidesOf course meat lover is a good deal as well~Combo for two plus tax we ate $75 so full~

Food was good. There seems to be a language barrier. We ordered way too m7ch because it was not explained to us that a particular dish came with vegetables. So we ordered a side of vegetables.

Mumu Combo - recommended for 2 people comes with meats, sides, soup, noodles x2 ($48)-Sichuan Spicy Soup Base-Mushroom Soup Baseit was my first time trying mumu hotpot with my friend. i really enjoy the fact that it was an individual pot with our own choice of soup base but we are able to share the same core ingredients. the core ingredients range from meats, to veggie, and rice/noodes. the amount that they give is surprisingly very filling and additional ingredients arent needed. id say its perfect for cold weathers like these days and the location of this spot is really nice since its by the outlets and 99 ranch market (perfect for groceries and whatnot). for me sometimes AYCE hot pot can be overwhelming so having an amount of food preset can be really nice -- bc we also chose the mumu hot pot recommended for two people so everything came in 2!! the ambiance is perfect for dates, families (kid friendly), and hangouts!

Second time at a Mumu, the other one being in foster city. Ordered the other combo (Mumu combo) this time and it was great. They give you plenty of food for 2 and the quality of meat is delicious. The house noodles were also so delicious I wish I ordered 2.Food: 8/10Service: 6/10Vibes: 6/10Value: 6/10

A great hotpot spot. They offer a good variety and good mix of protein and vegetables. Vegetable are fresh and meat quality is good. They tend to get busy during meal peak time, staff are efficient and do their best to keep up.

I like the individual hotpot option. There is a decent selection of meat and they are pretty good. Premium neat costs more. The meat lover for two is a good portion. You can more if you like. The tumyum broth is tasty and spicy.

Review №28

2023-01-22 23:19:55

The place and staff are nice. But way over priced. $18 bucks for extra meat. Food selection is so less. Will not come back. Way better hot pot is available all around with all you can eat and more food selection. Trust me and go somewhere else

Good hotpot. We’ve been here at least twice. The food is good. There seems to be a few less items they give compared to the first time we came here. They have made the menu easier to order from. We ordered the meat lovers for 2 people and there is plenty of food for us. Staff was helpful. AC was great considering we came here on a 100 degree day

Ive had better. The meat cuts here are good quality, no complaints there. The flavor for the soup is whatever but the best one is the spiciest one, lots of flavor there.Sauce they give is a bit stingy there was not enough sauce for me and my date the first round so stack up on the sauce when you can.Pretty good meat but first and last time its not that special.

Great food and great hospitality! Met my husband and his coworker for dinner. We all got hot pot. Our server helped us order to save a little money. The food was excellent, we each got different broths. We especially enjoyed the Kobe beef, lamb and the fried tofu. The sauce station was wonderful as well. It was fun to mix and match the flavors.

Great food great sevice. The staff was so friendly, and the the food was so tasty. I highly recommend the spicy sour broth, it has a wonderful zing that complements the lite spicy taste of the broth and goes well with the Napa cabbage and beef. This restaurant is almost an hour and a half from where I live but it was so good I would gladly make the drive out again.

Review №72

2019-08-13 17:47:24

It was something new to try but there hot pot flavors had barely any flavor I recommend if you want something spicy get the spicy lovers because the spicy and sour one has barely any flavor mainly tastes sour, the meat was ok they had a good selection of meat and vegetables we got more help from a customer then employee ok service when the employee didnt have any new people coming in they just stood around instead of making them self usefull but its a good place to try it once at least.

I have been visiting continuously ~ I like this place very much. In fact, the hot pot soup base is not amazing, but what I like is the dining environment here, which is clean, bright and comfortable! The ingredients are fresh and the meat is delicious. More importantly, they have very good and friendly service, which makes the whole meal very enjoyable!For me, I think the portion size is very moderate, so I won’t be full or have too much left over!

Suddenly the price went up, and the increase was so big. The package price for two people increased by more than ten yuan. There are no activities anymore. I was kind enough to introduce a friend to it. Are you trying to trick me?
