DNM Hot Pot — Restaurant in San Francisco

We traveled 45 minutes to try this restaurant. From the reservation you'd think this restaurant is extremely popular but it's not. They kept on reminding you that they keep your table for 10 minutes only but when you arrive there are only 2 other tables.

The restaurant is trying to be a Mongolian hot pot with the decoration but honestly it's a Sichuan hot pot place. Everyone working there is from Sichuan and the flavor is Sichuan style except that the spicy soup base is not very spicy. They however do they grilled lamb leg and ribs. The ribs are pretty good.

As for the hotpot there aren't a lot of choices when especially seafood and there is really only two choices of lamb. They also don't give a lot of pieces for the price. The one thing that set them apart is the lamb spine (Chinese call them lamb scorpion) which is popular in many Northern Chinese restaurants (Bejing). They are more fresh here than some other restaurants that sell them here in the Bay Area.

So here is my suggestion, if you want the lamb spine or even the lamb ribs you can come here. If you want hot pot there are so many other choices.

Service is alright except they didn't inform us of the price increase (10%) until when we pay and that's actually against the law. Price is high for what you get and there is a lack of choices for hot pot...

Earlier tonight, we had a fantastic dining experience at DNM Hot Pot. Additionally, I think we had some of the best customer experience ever at any hot place I've ever been to, so hats off to the amazing staff and kitchen!

Everything arrived very quickly, which was awesome. The dishes were well-prepared, super clean and fresh, and the sauce area was really well stocked.

Honestly, we had little to no regrets on any of our meat selections and toppings. I'd go again in a heart beat - it's well worth the cost, travel and time! We also got relatively lucky too, as it was a relatively slow day and we got the restaurant to ourselves. Maybe that would explain the wicked fast service and superb customer experience. However, something tells me they'd be equally as good during a busy season too! Tonight, DNM Hot Pot delivered the perfect atmosphere for me to catch up with a good buddy.

Great work, DNM Hot Pot. We'll be...

What a treat to start the new year off right. What fatastic service by Mona & Sammy (such great personalities) took care of us. Such a well cleaned restaurant, nice decor and a rather cool place to randomly find such a great place. They are located on the corner of Clement st & 10th Ave. Great music choices by the staff. So this is how it works. Get seated at a table with a gas grill in the middle of the table. You order what you want (all you can eat by the way) from the menu with some 30 plus choices of items they bring it to you and you toss it on the grill so you can cook it the way you like it. High quality meats veggies and seafood and if you call ahead ask if they have the spicy sausage. It's $30 per person but well worth it but before drinks but reasonable prices on wine beer and sake. The service was so great we left a $20 tip on a $70...
