About Big Way Hot Pot (Kerrisdale)

Big Way Hot Pot offers good, fresh, and tasty food with plenty of options, ideal for a hot pot meal. While the service is friendly and fast, the restaurant can get busy, making street parking difficult. Customers can make their own bowl by choosing from an assortment of meat, veggies, and seafood. The counter weighs the bowl to determine the price, and they also have a variety of broth options to select from. It is appreciated that they cook the hot pot for customers, which is helpful for those who may not be confident in cooking it themselves. The sauce counter allows for mixing preferred sauces.

This location is smaller than the Big Way in New Minister, with about 12 tables and booths. Ingredients are fresh, and the variety is good, with reasonable prices and late hours. A big hot pot can be had for $16 to $20, though some may find certain broths, like the Szechuan pepper broth, overpowering. The restaurant features a pay-by-weight system, which allows for customization of meals. An online waitlist is available, helping customers plan around the wait and get in line before arriving. For a counter-service restaurant, the service is surprisingly good, with food brought to the table after cooking. Staff are diligent about clearing tables and offer free ice cream for a palate cleanse after the meal.
