Little Sheep Mongolian Hot Pot and Grill is a hot pot restaurant in downtown San Mateo, right across from Walgreens. This company has a couple locations in the US and many more in Asia.
Chinese hot pot is where they have boiling broth on your table that you use to cook the raw meats, vegetables, seafood, etc that you order. They also have some BBQ and Rice, Dumpling, Pancake items on the menu.

Decor, Vibe – Clean modern decor, surprising for a place like this. Bar area up front. No Chinese restaurant with dirty bathrooms here.

Vegetable Assortment

Mongolian Hot Pot and Grill 1

Mongolian Mini Hot Pot Combo ($9.95 Lunch) – We selected Half Original /Half Spicy broth, Lamb and Beef, Veggies. It was fun to cook our items. The soup base had a little more Chinese herbs than most may be used to, but was fine for us. You might be better off at Shabuway if you cannot handle this. Quality of the meats was average, nothing gourmet here.

Mongolian Hot Pot Red Bean Paste Yam Cake

Red Bean Paste Yam Cake ($3.95) had 2 soft and hot yam cakes filled with very sweet red bean paste. An acquired taste, but hot and delicious.

Mongolian Lamb Skewers ($6.95) had 4 meaty skewers of lamb. Good quality, a little gamey, lots of spices on top.

Mongolian Hot Pot and Grill 6

Sesame Pancake ($5.95) was a big freshly cooked round bread with seasame on top. Hot and fresh, so we ate it fast. As rewarmed leftovers, it was terrible.

OK:
None

Pans:
None

Service was ok, all they had to do is serve the soup base and bring the raw stuff to our table. Hard to screw up. Lunch, with its $9.95 Mini Hot pot Combo is the best bet. They have other lunch specials, but look at the name of the place! We have been here before and spent over $20 per person checking off items from thier long lists.
Order a little first and then add more if you have the room. It is easy to overeat when chowing on small bites at a time, so eat slowly. An alternate hot pot restaurant around the corner on 3rd avenue is Japanese Hot pot restaurant Shabuway. Their meat is better, but their menu is very limited.
