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!“

“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“

“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.“

“Love the food“

“First time trying Gokudo Shabu Shabu in Burnaby and overall it was a great experience. The service was amazing — very attentive and quick. At one point I ran out of sauce and the server immediately noticed and offered more without me even asking.

We ordered the lunch special combo for two ($39.99), which includes two soups, two meats, two sides, two drinks, and dessert. For soups, we chose the preserved duck egg with cilantro and the Malaysian laksa. For meats, we went with two orders of fatty short plate. We upgraded our sides for $1 each and got ground pork on rice. Drinks were milk tea (drink of the day).

The laksa soup was very flavorful, while the duck egg cilantro soup was a bit light and watery and could have used more depth. The ground pork rice was really tasty and came with mushrooms, which was a nice touch.

For dessert, they only had pistachio Melona available, which unfortunately wasn’t my favourite.

Overall, a very filling and enjoyable lunch with excellent service.“

“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!“

“One of the things I really like about this hot pot buffet is the variety beyond just the hot pot itself. They offer a nice selection of complimentary snacks, side dishes, and desserts, which makes the whole experience feel more complete and enjoyable.
It’s also a great place to come with friends. The atmosphere is relaxed, there’s plenty of food to share, and everyone can find something they like. Whether you’re catching up or just hanging out, it’s an easy spot for a group meal.
Overall, a fun and satisfying place to dine, especially if you enjoy having lots of options!“

“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!“

“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“

“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 😁“

“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.“

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

“great service and good was spectacular“

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

“Very delicious, healthy, friendly, and fast. The staff explained and helped us choose dishes, the cooking method, and told us some interesting stories about the dish they served.

I would highly recommend this place. Plus, every time we came, we received new compliments (drinks or desserts).

PS: The photo shows another version of pudding with fruit))“

“This place has a non-stop line of people ordering and you can tell why. Their speciality is the Taiwanese style fried chicken leg (boneless) or their Taiwanese salty fried chicken nuggets combo with rice and 3 sides they give you. Before I get into their deliciousness of the chicken, their sides are killer too. They give you a handful of veggies of the day, a thick piece of matinated tofu patty, and soya sauce marinated egg. Protein heaven already. Their chicken is so freshly deep fried, just the right amount of spices, hot, juicy and tender on the inside. Sprinkle some of their red powder on the side if you want more heat. Their portion is huge! They don't skimp out at all! I normally eat 3/4 and pack the rest home. All for $15! Bring cash as with all Richmond vendors!“

“非常值得试试的川味麻辣烫“

“This place is exceptional! The beef hotpot was perfectly portioned, and they don’t skimp on the meat. The wintermelon juice also pairs great with the spicy broth. At the end of the meal they gave a little container of lemonade which was great. The service was also exceptional.

Will be back!“

“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“

“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.)“

“Wasn’t too busy when we went. The food was good with lots of different options for the ayce. We got cotton candy at the end of the meal but the cotton candy machine was a bit faulty. The staff were so helpful with the machine repair so that we could enjoy it in the end. A really good more price friendly ayce hot pot option in the Metrotown area“

“Really enjoyed my visit here! I had the Dan Dan noodles and they were absolutely delicious — perfectly spicy with a great depth of flavor. The balance of heat and richness was spot on. Service was smooth and the overall vibe of the place was nice and comfortable. Definitely a great spot if you’re craving something flavorful and satisfying. Would come back again!“

“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.

“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.“

“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.“

“The food was great, yes if you are not into soup 🍲 why even go ... But I do like soup and with the choices it is done very well.

They use a gelatin fuel source that easily boiled the soup and even after an hour it is still going (no fuel smell)

I recommend going one level hotter then you like, me max level, because after they add more water it waters down the spice.

The toppings are fresh and the service was nice.“

“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.“

“...WORTH DRIVING IN FROM RICHMOND--have been meaning to try GS as have been referred to similar great food venues along Victoria Dr. Was glad to have stopped in while trying to run couple errands on a rainy weekday...2 of us shared congee (nice touch w/ dainty dish of condiments!), stuffed eggplant (ginormous!), shrimp crepe, har gow & (finally) some deep fried stuffed taro root dumplings...won't go so far as to give away what wkday to enjoy great staffing service, but please keep up the great atmosphere/dining value--bravo!“

“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.“

“Excellent customer service Skills excellent food, reasonable price very friendly stuff we’ve been getting from them for years. Sometimes we pick up sometimes we have delivery which I live very close to.! Love their food must try everybody! We’ve also eaten inside!“

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

“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.“
