avoid if you are not asian!. it had been several years since my visit to another mongolian hot pot location in union city. although we lived nearby, we stopped going because we noticed that caucasian diners (which were a clear minority), were made to wait while asian diners which arrived later were seated first. so time passed, we decided to try the cupertino location yesterday. not surprisingly, it was busy, we put our name in and were told it would be a 45 min wait. no problem . . . but . . .we waited, we waited . . . and we observed that groups of asian diners that came in long after us were being seated ahead of us. after two hours passed, i stood in front of the front desk and looked at the waiting list . . .somehow our name (the only name not written in chinese characters), was still five names down the list.....it was clear we would not be seated unless there were no asian diners waiting, we left and enjoyed in & out! do yourself a favor, if you are not asian, skip the hot pot restaurant and spend your money where they want your business.
