My favorite Vietnamese hotpot comfort food. This place has been here for years and it never disappoints. We came here on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't busy at all. Parking can get a little crowded so try to come on a non busy day. I've seen this place get busy at dinner time but their service is usually really fast and nice. The place is medium size and has a decent amount of seating. I just found out there's a bigger room for party of 12+ but not sure if they closed it off since covid. We ordered the small Lau Hai San hotpot (Spicy Seafood Thai hotpot) and take out the squid and get more fish balls. Trust me it's delicious!And we order their signature dish Banh Khot. All the food is tasty and I'm always full after eating even for a small and we take home left overs. I would recommend anyone to come here!

Been here so many times I've lost count but finally decided to write review lol.
We always order the small lau Thai to share if it's my husband and I. And we always order the large for hosting dinners. Broth is always consistent and flavorful - my favorite Thai hot pot in San Jose.
We usually get the banh khot too if we dine in store as it comes out super crispy with a plate of veggies and dipping fish sauce.
Parking can get tough here if you come during dinner time but there's street parking and the neighboring plazas

My fave place to eat some soup! Alil too pricey but still highly recommended to my friends and family.

I really enjoyed this place. My cousins and I were craving Vietnamese hot pot and this place literally felt so wholesome!
We ordered the large hot pot with catfish and it was perfect for 6 of us. It came with veggies and rice noodles. I believe we also ordered two sides of beef just for some extra protein.
Everything was great here, the taste of the broth was delicious! I believe it was the Tom Yum.
Service was super nice and attentive!
The bathroom is a plus, I appreciate a clean bathroom.. it even had a bidet! Lol

Great Viet hot pot place. Must try their sate with seafood hot pot. I normally order for take our. Large one can easily feed party of 3-4. Call ahead and wait for at least 30 mins. They're very busy especially on the weekends.

10/10 service & food. Tom yum soup base HITs different. So sooo good. Banh khot is so crispy as well

First time having Vietnamese hot pot and it did not disappointed. I can tell this place is authentic by seeing the customers and the employees. The employees didn't speak English and they were very friendly. They waited til we finish the appetizers and entre first before serving the hot pot because it takes up the whole table. I thoroughly enjoyed this experience.

So good! I've hyped about this place for several months! Their ban xhot was really good. This Tom yum hot pot was absolutely delicious, it came with a plate of veggies and rice noodles. The rice noodles are really good. The seafood surrounding the hot pot was fresh and yummy! We also tried their three bean iced dessert, it has coconut milk on top. So tasty. Only issue is that it's a bit hard to find parking.

If you love hotpot, come to this place! The menu can get overwhelming though because there are so many options! It's a small place but they open late. We had the Tom yum broth and we loved it.
Service was fast. Would come back if I'm in the SJ area
