  • Where can you get a hot pot for $19.80 per person for lunch? Here at Dainty Hot pot. You get a hot pot with your choice of broth, you get a huge plate of lamb, beef and pork slices, you get prawns and a scallop and meat balls. Choose your own sauces to dip with your food. Also on the side you get a basket full of noodles and seasonal vegetables. You also have unlimited plum drink, and watermelon. If you want extra entrees like fried chicken and other appetisers and sweets, it’s an extra $6.50. The soup was fragrant and the food is very fresh. You will come out full and satisfied.

  • The hot pot here is so good. A good range of hot pot soup bases to choose from. I had the Abalone and black chicken one and you actually get a whole piece of Abalone and chicken pieces, yum! The self serve buffet section has a good range of delicious cooked food, salad, prawn crackers, dipping sauces, desserts, fruit and ice poles. The fried mochi balls is so yummy. This is one of my favourite hot pot places. Good service as well.

  • Sep 2025 Wow! I was amazed at the variety of food for choice at this place - just too much. For 1st half hour I had only selected meat, seafood from 1 row. Worth the $58 pp dinner price. Pay first before going to table. If in group, wait for everyone. Broth of choice - only 1 soup unless you pick their spicy, then you get 2 choices of soup broth in yinyan pot. Such delicious sauces to pick from as well. All meats and seafood were fresh and tasty. Note: time limit on eating 1.5 hours whether or not restaurant is 3/4 empty Enjoy!
