Mumu Hot Pot

If you’re a meat enthusiast who had a hard time sharing as a child, Mumu Hot Pot is your happy place. And even if those things don’t apply to you, it’s still easy to love this casual Chinese hot pot restaurant in Parkmerced—their MO is personal mini pots, plus high-quality lamb, beef, and pork (there are also great vegetarian options). The mini vats of bubbling soup mean you don’t have to spend the meal reaching across the table to snag a floating fish ball. We love coming here with a big group, ordering a bunch of Mumu combos (a choose-your-own-adventure menu of meats and sides), and going in on the chili and peanut-heavy sauce bar.
