Hot Pot Restaurants in Burnaby, BC

“First time hot potting. The waiter was so helpful and the food was delicious!!! We will definitely be back again!“

“I had an amazing time here! I've come here on two occasions, both being birthdays, and the service was incredible both times. We got the longevity noodle and the staff members were all incredibly kind and helpful
Would definitely come here again!“

“I ordered the signature malatang with less spice, and my friend ordered the sesame sauce spicy dry mix. I already had high expectations because some of my friends told me this is the number one malatang place.
It really hit the spot!! So delicious. The soup had rich umami flavor and paired well with all the ingredients. The spice level was just right for me since my stomach is usually too weak to handle spiciness.
I also tried some of my friend’s dish. She chose medium spicy. It was actually too hot for me, but still very tasty. Spiciness is very personal, so I recommend starting with your own comfortable level and then adjusting the spice level on your next visit. (Anyway, you’ll definitely come back!! ;))
The staff were very friendly and welcoming, which made my experience even more pleasant.
Also, the restaurant looked much more hygienic than other malatang places. Please keep up this great quality 🙏
The only thing I’d suggest improving is the meat container. It looked a little empty, and since the meat was rolled up, it was hard to tell how much I was actually getting.“

“The happy hour is after 9pm and it’s 25% off and bottomless drink for the drink of the day, such a good deal!! The combo is great and is a big portion. They servers are really nice and come around to add more broth all the time. You can also ask for chilli pepper to make the sauce more spicy. On a Friday night there was around a 30 minute wait on the waitlist to get in around 9pm.“

“Roadside Spicy Pot delivered on every level! 🍲

The vibe? Incredible. The renovated space feels like a classic Chinese eatery. The food? Flawless. From the perfectly seasoned skewers to the rich, flavorful broth in the hot pot, every bite was amazing.

Manager Nick provided top-tier service.......so good we ended up sharing a beer! Fair prices, great for groups, and an all around fantastic experience. I’ll 100% be back!“

“Best place for hot pot in my opinion, you can not go wrong with their sauces station and the meals are decently priced so it affordable and you can go 3 rounds so trying different options for meat or veggies or additional items is easy if your stomach can fit it all in“

“Made significant improvements since I first started coming here. Honoured the birthday deal stacked with the student deal. Food was fresh and service was prompt. Restaurant is generally clean. An excellent choice for hot pot and a great late night option. Ideally suited for parties of 4-6 but can accommodate for larger parties. They are quite busy so it might be a good idea to reserve a table“

“Reading these reviews make me so confused! Maybe it’s because I tried it after they put up the “under new management” sign.

Last week I went to Aroma which is on the opposite side of Crystal mall, and has a much higher rating, and was very disappointed with their popcorn chicken and beef noodle soup.

This week I decided to give Hanju a try, and it was far far better. The chicken is perfectly seasoned with the deep fried basil leaves, and the beef in the beef noodle soup just melts in your mouth. No carrot or radish fillers (the taste is there, it’s just not served as chunks) you actually get green veggies. They have some imported Taiwanese drinks as well.

The price is not cheap, but we would come back for our next Taiwanese food craving, especially with baby in tow. They have some children’s books and the seats are a lot more comfortable and clean than its competitor on the other side of the mall.“

“This Richmond, BC location of Cho Cho, sister restaurant to Dolar Shop, offers good quality all you can eat hot pot at an affordable price. Clean but a tad loud during busy hours. While slightly smaller than the Burnaby location, it has the advantage of indoor parking. Keep in mind that parking is limited to 3 hours (P1-3) or 4 hours (P4) depending on the level, so plan your time accordingly if you intend to shop in the mall to avoid parking tickets, as friends have experienced.

The selection of ready to eat food seemed somewhat less than at the Burnaby location, but this location is more convenient. Both restaurants are quite popular, so reservations are highly recommended and can be easily made through the Yelp app. Service was overall good and attentive, with staff readily available to assist with any requests.“

“One of my favourite place to eat. Food is delicious.“

“Tried their spicy Taiwanese hot pot with boneless short ribs combo. I would say it’s the best combination if you love spicy and beef quality is so good! You can create your own dipping sauce as they have many ingredients options. Clean environment and friendly staff. Will come back for sure when I am around Metrotown area!“

“My favourite hotpot restaurant :) I love the individual hot pot idea and all the ingredients are very fresh and tasty. Always have an amazing experience here“

“I have been eating Malatang brand Liu for many years. Every time I enter the store, the dishes are fresh and clean, and the taste is authentic and classic. Charlotte’s service at Kingsway store also makes people feel very comfortable. I check in often because my husband also likes to eat😋“

“great service and good was spectacular“

“This place is fantastic, all of the staff are SO friendly, welcoming and helpful. Food was delicious also!“

“The food is insane! I everything it was soooo delicious taht now we are looking to try their Korean BBQ for next time!
And many side dishes!

We were looking for try a new Korean Restaurant, and we have not regrets! We ordered :
Gamja-tang Soup ( Spicy Pork Back-Bond).
And Kimchi Jjigae soup ( spicy kimchi and pork).“

“We recently visited this Korean restaurant and were pleasantly surprised by the cozy atmosphere. The interior design, with its partitions between tables, gave a nice sense of privacy that made the dining experience more comfortable.

We ordered the beef intestine soup and the cold noodles. Both were flavorful and enjoyable. The soup came with plenty of ingredients, though the medium spice level felt a little mild; next time we’d probably go one step spicier. The cold noodles were refreshing and served in a generous portion, though it would have been even better with a few slices of meat or seafood added in.

The menu isn’t huge, but it does feature the beef intestine hot pot, which was exactly what drew us in. Since there were only two of us, we skipped the larger BBQ platters and went with single dishes, which worked out well. Overall, the flavors were solid, the portions fair, and the price very reasonable.

We’d rate the experience about 7/10. Definitely worth a try if you’re craving Korean comfort food, and we’d be happy to come back again.“

“Had dimsum here and the food was amazing! Everything was so flavourful and they were very attentive when we needed more water, tea or napkins. This is also still hands down my favourite place to have the Liu Sha Bao. Other places, the bun tastes kind of dry and the egg custard isn’t as flavourful. We were also happy to eat the Sesame Oil Chicken as it’s not always found on dimsum menu!“

“Upon entering, they have a number system, make sure you grab a number.
The staff here is very very polite and friendly. Our server even asked us if it's our first time here, and what she would recommend. The lunch combos come with a complementry drink. Our drinks were delicious. We didn't drink the majority of it because we didn't want to fill ourselves up before our hotpot.

My friend got the Korean hot pot. It is nicely spiced, exceeds generous in portion and she said she would order this again.
She didn't realize that the hot pot had ramen noodles inside it. This combo comes with a side of rice too. I got the seafood and tofu hot pot. I also didn't realize that it had vermecelli noodles in it, and my combo came with a complementry choice of vermecelli noodles or rice. Word of caution, ask the server if the hotpot has any noodles inside it first, before choosing your complementary side. Also come hungry because it's a whole lot of food. We ended up taking our free beverages with us back to the dog park. It was perfect, no complaints.

Our meals were delicious. My friend loved how they refill our hotpot with broth, and not water. It's a pet peeve we got lol. If your hot pot gets too hot you can ask the server to put out the flame.
Would we come back? Based upon our own experience, we had a great lunch here. So yes.“
