Welcome to General Pot

“ came for the lunch special dry pot -- value is so good!! each dry pot order came with a very generous portion of spicy dry pot with your choice of meat, a big heaping bowl of rice, and soup (they were actually sold out of soup when we got there). i think mild is a good level to start with if you can handle spicy food but not sure where you fall under their spice spectrum. 11/10 would come back for their lunch special dry pot, and maybe try an appetizer or two ;) ”

“ I'm surprised I haven't written a review for this place yet, especially since my friends and I are regulars--so much so that the owner knows us by now. This spot serves what I think is the best Szechuan food in the Bay Area and definitely feels like a hidden gem. We usually order the intestine dry pot, chicken, and roasted fish. While the food can sometimes be a bit salty, it's consistently delicious. What we love most about this place is the comfort it provides through its flavorful dishes. It's a go-to spot for us, and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves Szechuan cuisine! ”

“ Good place for spicy dry pot. My girlfriend and I shared a sliced beef dry pot and the braised soybean seedlings. The server recommended mild for the dry pot so we went with the recommendation; it turned out to be the right level, much spicier than I would expect for mild (probably a medium at most places) but perfect for us. There was enough dry pot left over to take home and make again the next day with bean sprouts and some protein. ”

“ Amazing food! My family and I don't usually eat spicy chinese food, but I brought my family here because I had them once and thought it was delicious. My family enjoyed the meal albeit it was a bit spicy. The fish was phenomenal! Fresh and flavorful, can't stop digging around the pot for The flavors are amazing, nothing bad about the service. Plenty of parking available. I'd come again if I'm in the area and craving some spicy chinese food! ”

“ Having recently dined at this venerable Chinese restaurant, a local institution for over a decade, I felt compelled to share my experience. The undisputed star of the show is their beef dry pot - a harmonious symphony of spices and tender beef that has consistently captivated my taste buds. It's an absolute must-try for anyone seeking a flavorful and satisfying meal. Spicy fish filet - a dish that never fails to impress with its fresh fish and perfectly balanced spice levels. The combination creates a delightful and memorable culinary experience. spicy boiling beef - a personal favorite of mine. The rich broth and succulent beef make for a comforting and flavorsome treat. pork ear - didn't quite meet the same high standards set by their other offerings. I'd recommend exploring their more celebrated options for a truly exceptional dining experience. Beyond the food, the service at this establishment is noteworthy. The staff is consistently friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive dining experience. The ambiance complements the culinary delights - a comfortable and welcoming space that enhances the enjoyment of the meal. What truly sets this place apart is its dedication to providing ample portions at a reasonable price, making it an ideal choice for those seeking value without compromising on taste. With over a decade of successful operation, this restaurant has earned its status as a local favorite for authentic Chinese cuisine. I wholeheartedly recommend savoring their signature dishes while appreciating the warm service and inviting atmosphere. I'm already eagerly anticipating my next visit! ”
