I’ve eaten here so many times already. They have such a great deal after 8 PM - just 20 per person, and you get to pick 5 dishes along with the hotpot. Super tasty and affordable, I’ll definitely keep coming back!

Delicious. Accessible. Affordable. I absolutely love this hot pot place, their soup bases are so flavourful and the lunch/late dinner combo deal is so worth it. It can be very busy at times, yet still the servers are always kind and check back in regularly for water refills and so on.

If you love hot pot and you are in Edmonton this is the place. I love how this place is organized and you can go make most of the plate you want you only have to order the meat, where other place you have to order everything to the waiter even noodle and vegetables, there you each can make you plate for your own.

A good selection of fresh good. They offer a set menu where you pick your items or all you can eat. Depending on your appetite, both are good choices with plenty of selection. The service here has been improving a lot. They used to be ...

This place is arguably the best hot pot place in the city! It's so popular that if you don't reserve in advance, you might be stuck waiting for hours to be seated. I was with a party of 4, unfortunately I was running about 10 minutes late. The staff at the front refused to seat my friends because we were not all together. In those few minutes, they started to seat everyone else ahead of us. My party eventually just told them that I wasn't coming, so they could just be seated at the table. If they hadn't done that, we would have been stuck waiting a long time. Once I got there, I was able to order comfortably. The waitresses and waiter were very friendly and offered me a taller beer instead of the regular size, which was nice. The hot pot broth was hot and spicy, and everything on the buffet is very fresh. The most enjoyable thing for me is making my own sauce with all the available ingredients. The only thing is the front staff. I still don't know why they would make us wait even more time, even when they were told I was on my way. I think they should be more understanding and should be better at communicating. I do realize it's very busy. But why they made us wait more time does not make any sense.

Absolutely the best hotpot in town! Our family loves coming here especially for the Tom Yum soup base, which is packed with flavor. All the ingredients are super fresh, and the facility is very clean and well-maintained. Don’t skip the matcha ice cream, it’s the perfect sweet finish to a great meal. We’ll definitely be back again!

It was a busy Sunday night, but we were seated quite quickly. The soup base options were pretty plentiful, and the buffet was packed with tons of delicious additions. The food was phenomenal. I also appreciate how quick and attentive the service was. Our pots never felt empty, and neither did our water glasses. I do wish they better outlined what soft drink options they had available and I will say the cake options for dessert were far too sweet and very clearly purchased from a supplier, it works for a large crowd but I would have loved to see some more diverse offerings with better flavors, the mocha mousse cake and tiramisu cake offered little in terms of good coffee or espresso flavor and the butter cream felt like it was very very cheap. Otherwise, we had a delightful meal and left feeling full and happy.

Finding Chinese Hotpot Edmonton South is like unearthing a culinary treasure – so keep those eyes peeled, it's worth the hunt! My latest visit this past Sunday was, as always, an absolute delight. The ambiance offers authentic Asian charm, but it's the impeccable service that truly shines; the staff are like friendly culinary navigators, making sure your hotpot journey is perfect. My go-to is their spicy broth (a delightful "mild" for my palate!), which perfectly complements the true stars: the incredibly fresh ingredients. This is where they excel for well-being! We're talking vibrant, crisp vegetables, beautifully sliced lean meats, and pristine seafood – all ready for a wholesome dip. It’s a choose-your-own-adventure of delicious, less-processed goodness, which makes this health-conscious foodie incredibly happy. And yes, even a fresh-foodie enjoys a little balance! Their fried spring rolls, BBQ ribs, chicken wings, and onion cake were the perfect indulgent counterpoint. But the focus on fresh, uncooked ingredients means you're largely in control of your meal, making it ideal for those seeking genuinely wholesome options. Chinese Hotpot Edmonton South stands out for its unwavering commitment to fresh, quality ingredients and service that makes you feel genuinely cared for. If you're seeking a hotpot experience that prioritizes freshness without sacrificing flavor, navigate your way to this hidden gem. You won't regret it!
