Hot Pot Restaurants near North Vancouver, BC

“food was rlly good and employee was nice‼️“

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

“Great decor, bright and clean. Friendly staff. Food was amazing and the dipping sauce was fantastic. We will be going back for sure. We tried regular and spicy broth. Wow spicy was too spicy for us. But the favour was nice. Note. Next we will get regular both, very tasty.“

“I’ve never been to Haidilao before, yesterday was my birthday and my friend decided to treat me.
When we walked in, there were birthday decorations on the table our server Elana helped us take pictures and was extremely attentive and sweet. She frequently came back to check in on us to ensure we were having a good time, switched out our old dishes and filled up our waters swiftly.
I mentioned that we didn’t want the birthday song or anything elaborate that draws attention as that’s not personally my thing. To my surprise at the end, she came back with appetizers that I mentioned I enjoyed packed to go along with some snacks for us, wishing me happy birthday again with a bright smile.
Safe to say, I will be coming back again as the service here is top notch!“

“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.“

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

“If I could give Happy Lamb Vancouver 10 stars, I honestly would. The value here is unbeatable—the portions, the quality, and the overall experience are worth every dollar. The restaurant is spotless every time I visit, and you can tell they take real pride in keeping everything clean and comfortable. On top of that, the staff are incredible: friendly, attentive, and always willing to help without ever feeling rushed. It’s rare to find a place that nails great food, great service, and great atmosphere all at once, but this one does it perfectly“

“Love the food“

“Still love the taste of this place but have noticed they've decreased a lot of the veggies they used to give ! The squash and taro is very very small now and there is no tomato or rice cake or lettuce anymore. I think the cabbage was also reduced in quantity too tho they did add broccoli and another mushroom in its place. Another change has also been the ice cream changed to melona brand which tastes a bit more artificial than the sundae they had before! Still am coming here because it's still one of the best tasting hotpot places around 😆“

“After discovering this place, we have visited 5x in 2 weeks. Amazing pay-by weight hot pot place with extremely high quality broth. It is not too busy and the servers are so attentive/friendly. The broths are very flavourful, the Tom yum and fish maw chicken are our favorites. Their Taiwanese chicken nuggets and golden buns are also delicious. They do not charge extra for take out containers in case you cannot finish your food, which is a plus!

Tip: come before 5pm for their lunch special. You get so much food for the price, comes with choice of drink and dessert. The appies are also $3 off with the lunch special.“

“The ingredients are fresh and the service is friendly. I recommend their beef, pork, fresh tofu skin, and snakehead fish. All of it is delicious. The restaurant is very clean. From the cups to the washrooms, this place a lot cleaner than other hot pot places I have tried. I've visited twice and I definitely will return when I'm in the area again. Thanks!“

“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“

“Service was friendly and not intrusive, and even though it got busy the staff stayed on top of things. The place felt lively, perfect for a group dinner. The price is higher than a regular place because it’s all-you-can-eat premium hot pot, but if you love hot pot and want variety, it’s worth it at least once.“

“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“

“If you're looking for a truly authentic shabu-shabu meal, Gokudo is a great choice. They carefully select and serve fresh, delicious seafood and meat ingredients, using wooden, non-plastic tableware. Today is New Year's Eve, and I was impressed by Julie, a staff member, who was incredibly efficient and dedicated in serving customers. My suggestion is that customers could help themselves to the scallions, garlic, and satay sauce. Given the current situation, as long as there's no waste, it would be more convenient for both the restaurant and the customers. Thank you!“

“Great“

“I am pleasantly surprised by this place. Good food, fast service, no frills eatery. The salt-pepper popcorn chicken Taiwanese style rice was top 5 out of 5 quality.

Price is also fair, though at $20 per dish almost, the portions are large and yummy. Don’t expect anything fancy but standard and reliable Taiwanese comfort food.

Service is quick and no non-sense. Also, they give the option of 10% tips when checkout. This is a breathing way to allow diners to choose.

Heard that originally the place was Korean-Taiwanese food, operated by a Korean and Taiwanese couple. Then was passed on to a new Taiwanese boss, then now to their 2nd generation. At least that’s what the staff member told me. So they’ve been at this location for long, just with a new style and twist.

I will be back - 5 out of 5.“

“Pot Empire has become one of our go-to comfort food spots. The ambiance is great, the staff are very friendly, and the food is fantastic every time. They truly live up to their name as the Empire in hotpot— easily one of the best hotpot places in Vancouver/Burnaby. Highly recommended!“

“I am from Thailand, yesterday is my first time to try Big Way hot pot , With Tom Yum soup Oh, very yummy and convenient To eat , Just choose vegetables and meat What I want , then just waiting to enjoy Soup 😍 I love that Highly recommend 😁“

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

“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“

“The experience was average and better than most other hotpot places as there was a variety of food items to choose from. They have a few buffet tables available with veggies, seafoods and sauces along with different dim sum items where you helped yourself at this AYCE venue. Only items to order from waitress were the meats and the soup stocks which were included in the price.
Service was not great as we had to wave down our waitress to ask where our meat orders were the second time around after waiting for a good 25 minutes. After all, for AYCE there’s a time limit of 2 hours. The milk tea had way tooo much sugar but our second waitress who changed shifts with our first made it right and replaced our drink with soy milk. Great parking in the underground parking and easy to find. We enjoyed our dinner overall.“

“First time, wasn’t horrible, wont ever eat Beef Tongue.. not my thing… Very helpful staff, they did help me choose what to try. Chicken wings are delicious.. and it’s the entire wing :) I wouldn’t eat here again, but that’s cause I wasn’t a fan of the items… try it out :)“

“Amazing staff and food! 10/10 best hot pot in Vancouver, I would recommend to anyone!“

“great service and good was spectacular“

“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“

“A brand new experience of hotpot. Non-oily soup base of pork bone is fantastic by itself. All the ingredients were so fresh, range from seafood to handmade meatballs! Fish maw is tasty and has a unique texture.

scallop is the best of the best. The shell is almost face size. Steamed with garlics and poured with hot oil on top of it.

Many more soup bases and food to try next time!🥰“

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

“This place is inside a food court. They had Taiwanese bento that was totally authentic! The popcorn chicken was fresh and crispy, and the portions were huge, it was so much that my friend and I only managed to eat half! The side dishes were pretty great too. I honestly enjoyed all of them! The vegetables were served cold, which was a nice contrast to the deep-fried main dish.
Highly recommend!“

“Generous portions, fresh ingredients, it comes in an individual metal hotpot dish. You can't control the temperature and you can smell the charcoal or something, which is kind of a strong smell. It keeps the soup boiling literally it will spill out if you don't eat it fast enough. Tasted yummy, got a free iced drink with lunch. Nice meal on a cold day.“

“Ai-Boiled Restaurant at Aberdeen Square is a hidden gem for anyone who loves customizable hot pot with rich, satisfying flavors. What truly sets this spot apart is their incredible in-house made soups — they are fragrant, flavorful, and crafted with care. Whether you prefer mild or spicy, the broth options are well-balanced and allow the fresh ingredients to shine without being overpowering.

The concept is simple and fun: you pick your ingredients from a wide variety of meats, seafood, vegetables, tofu, and noodles, and they cook it in the broth of your choice. Each bowl is built exactly the way you want it, so it’s perfect for both picky eaters and adventurous foodies. The quality of the ingredients is high, and everything tastes fresh and thoughtfully prepared.

One of the standout broths is their spicy mala, which brings authentic Sichuan heat without being overwhelming. For something gentler, the mushroom and tomato bases are both hearty and deeply comforting.

The restaurant itself is clean, modern, and efficient. Service is usually quick, and staff are friendly and helpful when it comes to explaining the ordering process. It’s a great place for a solo meal, a casual lunch with coworkers, or even a low-key dinner with friends.

Overall, Ai-Boiled delivers consistent quality, excellent value, and a truly satisfying hot pot experience. If you’re in the Aberdeen area and craving warm, delicious soup made from scratch, this spot is definitely worth a visit.“

“Take out 👍 Food is delicious 😊“

“Be patient as this ownership group are getting their systems in place. Based on the genuine friendly staff they just need to sort out the timing in being attentive to each group of diners. The food is excellent quality and ideal for all age groups to digest.“

“Oz os a good place, good food.“

“Stir Fry Clam Fried Chicken“

“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!“

“Hidden Gem Inside Liuyishou!
We stumbled into Ishow Kitchen while waiting for a table upstairs — and wow, we’re glad we did! Their dishes are packed with flavor and totally different from what you'd expect. The spicy noodles were a killer, and the portions were just right. It's a small spot, but the food punches way above its size. Definitely coming back.“

“This is my favourite resturant. I'm a homebody, so I get food delivery, and it is always, always good. Of all the resturants I've tried, their pork intestine is the best. It isn't chewy and it is crispy on the outside. (And I'm a white girl lol. Don't knock it 'til you try it.)“

“We are huge Pho fans. On a recommendation, we tried Crab Hot Lau on Kingsway for a Northern Vietnamese take on Noodle soups and spring rolls. They make a good house special beef pho but we also tried something completely different…a Field crab red rice noodle (Banh da) soup dish that took us beyond the traditional Pho experience. Was fun to try a different Vietnamese regional cuisine. If you are a crab fan, this place would be a small culinary adventure for you.
The restaurant interior is very impressive, the prices as fine, and the service is good…a special thanks to My Thanh for her very excellent service and attention.
CD, Vancouver“

“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.“

“This place serves very good Cantonese Chinese food, the prime are healthy, quality ingredients and the serving staff is exceptional. Pricing is very fair for the quality of food. Every time we come visit Vancouver, we come here to have a great dining experience.“

“this place lives up to its name. The chewiest, most scarf-able, perfectly numbing dan dan noodles. truly luxurious and nourishing after being so so hungry. (the food also came very quickly.)
We got the dan dan noodles, yi bin noodles, and poached greens. Would 1000% get all of the above again.
We got the regular spicy for both noodles and it wasn't overly spicy-- if I was feeling more of a kick I would get the extra spicy next time.

go here-- you will not regret it!!“

“I have eaten at Burnaby Palace many times so I know the food is very good. This was the first time I placed an online order for delivery and It went smoothly. The food was prepared exactly as I requested. I had asked a few items to only be mildly spicy and they were prepared perfectly! We ordered 6 dishes and all of them were fresh and delicious! Will definitely be ordering from them again if not dining in!“

“Tucked away in the back of parker place, Regalia is a hidden gem that shines in both flavor and service. Their ingredients taste very fresh, and pots are so flavorful! The servers are also extremely kind, which breaks the stereotype of traditional Asian restaurants. Would definitely come back.“

“This is an authentic Cantonese restaurant. The food is hot and tasty. The kitchen is rolling fast. The space is tight and limited so please go ahead and reserve your table. We came in and out within an hour. Don’t expect fancy view and wine tasting just come for authentic and wok Chi. Price is good selections are huge life Seafood available for reasonable price.“

“This is such a fabulous dim sum restaurant which is really traditional whereby they roll the traditional Chinese food carts past all the tables like they did in the Golden days.
The owner is very kind and knows me by name. Also the servers are friendly to me and my friends. I give them a wonderful tip.“

“It not my first time there. The food at this place has always been good , very authentic and a truthful representative of Chinese cuisine at its best . The dishes are generous in quantities . This time it wasn’t any different. I did choose three dishes from the dim sum menu at I was not disappointed. The food came in less than 10 minutes and was very fresh and testy. The food came along with a pot of fresh and testy tea. The service was friendly. I cannot say too much about the atmosphere this time because the place was empty, but I usually go there at night time and it’s quite full with dinners. Highly recommended.“

“I’ve been going to this Grandma Liu frequently for over a year now and my most recent visit was not a good one.
I noticed that they cut the lobster tails in half and they were still selling it for the same price they did before they cut it which is just a price gouge.

I walk up the cashier and ask him about the lobster tail pricing (before grabbing any) and suddenly he doesn’t speak English anymore, after a pathetic attempt to ignore my questions he lifts up my bowl and started looking around it like I tried to steal some lobster tail..

Terrible attitude.. I would say I wouldn’t go there again if I wasn’t addicted to this place.“

“Very wonderful place. Lovely meats. Great desserts. Best BBT you’ll find in Van. Very cool!“
