Yummi Hotpot & Tea is a cozy spot in San Jose that brings together the communal spirit of hot pot dining with the casual charm of a tea house. Located on Morrill Avenue, this family-run restaurant strikes a balance between hearty Asian flavors and refreshing tea-based drinks, making it a convenient choice for lunch or dinner outings that blend comfort and flavor.

The atmosphere here leans toward informal and lively, with groups gathering around bubbling pots to customize their meals. The menu draws heavily from Mongolian and Taiwanese influences, offering broths like Original Mongolian, Spicy Mongolian, and even more unique options such as Kimchi Cheese and Cheesy Milk. These broths set the stage for cooking fresh ingredients right at the table, encouraging a social and interactive experience that's particularly appealing for friends and family looking to share a meal.

What stands out locally is the balance between the hot pot itself and the drink selection, including a variety of specialty teas and housemade sodas infused with fresh fruits and unique toppings like rainbow jelly and white pearls. These drinks complement the savory, often spicy flavors of the hot pots and add a playful element to the visit. It’s typical to see visitors enjoying a steaming bowl alongside a brightly colored, textured beverage—making it a notable spot for those who appreciate both comfort food and bubble tea culture.

Many locals choose Yummi Hotpot & Tea for its quality soup bases and fresh ingredients. Diners who prefer flavorful spice will naturally gravitate toward the Spicy Mongolian broth, while vegetarians have options like the Flavorful Vegetable Broth or Japanese Miso. The crowd tends to be a mix of families, groups of friends, and bubble tea enthusiasts who appreciate both the hot pot and the drink menu as a combined experience.

Visiting during lunch or dinner works well, as Yummi caters to both quick midday meals and relaxed evening gatherings. The pacing allows for lingering, conversation-friendly dining that’s less about speed and more about sharing and savoring. The restaurant’s modest decor keeps the focus on the food and the interactive dining element, which aligns with how the local community enjoys Asian hot pot — casual, social, and satisfying.

For those exploring San Jose’s diverse food scene, Yummi Hotpot & Tea represents a spot where thoughtful broth choices meet classic bubble tea, all while providing an approachable setting that’s kept consistent by attentive, friendly service. It’s especially fitting for anyone who values hot pot’s communal ritual alongside a quality milk tea or fruit-infused soda to round out the meal.

Call-in or be in-person for a cheaper order. Online orders are marked up a bit, but it's a good reference for menu items. Very interesting popcorn chicken! It is crunchy, flaky, and fragrant. One of the most unique popcorn chickens I had in the bay. I like mine flavored, so I powdered mine with a bit of spice, otherwise it will come plain. Will come again for the chicken!

I Absolutely enjoy eating Hotpots! This place is so perfect for me because they also offer my favorite Milk teas and Bobas, all in one spot! We came here 4 the first time and we are totally happy that we came across this Yummi Hotpot & Tea! Our Spicy Lamb and Seafood Mongolian with Ramen was definitely delicious and flavorful! Butterfly Milk Tea Boba was delightful! I will definitely be coming back to try a different Boba drinks and another kind of flavor of Hotpot here!

Popcorn chicken, chicken wings & mushroom are the best I have ever tasted in California. I love their Mongolian soup base, high quality! The drinks we ordered were #5 (30% sugar), #7 (30% sugar) & #9. The sweetness is exactly what we wanted! We always come back whenever we are in town!!

Update: We went there a couple of times and happy to report that its still amazing. They have new dessert options. Old Review: The aazing folks at Yummi Hotpot & Tea Cafe have kept the services and the food amazing as usual. I felt its time to update my review as its been a long time since I last reviewed them. Its a sweet little family run operation, we visit them once every 5-6 weeks and they've been consistent with the service, the food, the quality and the ambiance. Food: We've tried all the hotpot bases and the best one by far is the Curry and the 2nd best has been Spicy Mongolian. We always go for the ABC combo as they call it --> A is the Hotpot, B is the drink & C is the snack item. Getting the Combo gets you a nice discount which is like cherry on the hotpot ;) Ok, I'll get to the drinks and the snacks. We've tried many options and the best tea to pair with Curry is No. 17 which is the England Tea that comes with their Yummi (pun intended!) edd pudding. Snacks is something that we add an extra item ever since our baby became a toddler and started attacking our food! We go with the Popcorn chicken & the Taiwanese Chicken Steak. Lunch times are prefered by us during the weekend as the rush is low and we don't have to wait. All in all, these guys are awesome and they are very accomodating. We love visiting them every few weeks. ------- A friend and colleague suggested to try this place out for lunch today and I am really happy that we came here. We took Miso flavor and Curry flavor hot pots with Ramen on the side. I'll give the food and the ambiance full 5 on 5.
