IPOT all-you-can-eat spot really impressed me! They offer 15–20 kinds of appetizers, a wide variety of premium Wagyu and BBQ meats, dozens of fresh vegetables, and even a sauce bar with over 20 different options. It’s honestly the best value buffet I’ve ever been to, with the most variety at such a reasonable price. What makes it even better is that every dish is made-to-order, so everything comes out fresh and delicious.

We came to IPOT for a group dinner with friends, and it turned out to be the perfect choice. The atmosphere was lively but still comfortable, and the staff went out of their way to make sure our table had everything we needed. If you’re looking for a place in San Francisco to enjoy hotpot and BBQ with friends or family, IPOT is unbeatable.

IPOT has been my go-to for over a decade and it never disappoints. They do both hotpot and BBQ, plus a ton of sides and apps so there’s something for everyone. We recently went with our family of 9 and had a great time. It’s our go-to spot whenever we have family and friends visiting from out of town since it’s right by the botanical garden and Golden Gate Park. Great quality of meat. Unlimited brisket and ribeye is fire. Handmade noodles are a must-try. The staff is always warm, the food comes out quick, and the atmosphere is perfect for groups. Shout out to the team!
