[Restaurants] Little Sheep Mongolian Hot Pot @ Cupertino

It was a cloudless and warm night for our latest foodie outing, not the typical weather where one would venture into a hotpot restaurant, but we did anyway... Well, because the Little Sheep Mongolian Hotpot is in town and we have been dying to try it out for a while! Finally we got the chance to check it out on a warm early summer night! Does it remind you of enjoying a tub of ice cream in a chilly night? That's the spirit! 

Anyway, Little Sheep Mongolian Hotpot is a well-known chain hotpot restaurant hailing from China with international presence in multiple countries. We used to have to commute some 20 miles to get to the nearest branch in Union City, but now we no longer have to do so! As you can see, the interior of the store is pleasantly designed with a fusion of both western and oriental elements with lukewarm lighting. All seats are cushioned with hotpot boiling away on electronic stove in each cove.

In spite of the warm weather, there was already a crowd gathering in the front lobby waiting to be seated. We waited for about 30 minutes before being called on to be seated...pretty good business huh?!

We had vegetarian mushroom broth – the sole vegetarian option soup base, coupling with mushroom and tofu platters, chewy rice cake and some leafy vegetables. Though a warm night, the restaurant is well air-conditioned to create a rather comfortable climate to enjoy a hotpot night!

In general, no dipping sauce is needed for Little Sheep's hotpot, a well-publicized style that stays true to the original flavor of the food. Without any dipping sauce, the food still tasted surprisingly delicious after absorbing the gentle sweetness from the broth. Yummy! But we did ask for some hot sauce and was provided with a generous amount of red chilli peppers along with other spices and soy sauce in a bowl! Look at the flaming red color of our hot sauce!


Sweating while hotpotting feels fantastic, it warms your stomach, as well as your heart. It is a great choice regardless of the weather. So give it a try next time!

People still waiting to be seated at 9:30pm. Yup! It's that good.
