All you can eat hotpot
Came for lunch with a friend on a weekday. It was surprisingly quite busy for a weekday. Cost was $20pp which is definitely affordable compared to the dinner prices.
Hotpot city allows you to custom your own mini hotpot with a range of broths and sauces to choose from. They offer an extensive range of ingredients as well. I personally prefer to mushroom soup.
Each person has a little stovetop with 5 settings to control how much you want your hotpot heated. With covid, the restaurant requests you wear plastic gloves when handling tongs at the bar. I feel this is definitely not that hygienic as there's no social distancing at the ingredient bar and people are not wearing masks.
Overall, reasonably priced all you can eat hot pot. Fun to go with friends and family. Would recommend
All you can eat hot pot. It’s a bit pricier than doing it yourself but you go there for the fun. The hot pot bowls are individual so you get your own soup base.
My only complaint is that the staff are slow at bringing out the meats, often leaving empty bowls in the buffet for extended periods of time. It’s not that fun waiting for 10 minutes instead of eating or chatting with your friends. There are plenty of options, but the quality is pretty average (although decent given the price and the all you can eat).
At first I was drawn to hotpot city because of the affordability of the buffet option and the individual pot gimmick. But I think it's safe to say its my favourite go to place for hotpot. They have an awesome range of toppings, soup bases and sauces. I love coming here with a big group of friends because you can cater to all of the different flavour palettes. I usually come at lunch because it is really good value, but be aware that there is no seafood and fish roe during lunch.
Great buffet and great range. Prices are a bit expensive but it's worth the experience.
Absolute favourite hot pot buffet in Sydney. Never fails to disappoint! Extensive range of ingredients so it caters to all dietary requirements. Soup base range is also great - I always get mushroom or chicken. Bar is stocked quite regularly but gets empty quickly on weekends. Great quality meat and everything in between at an affordable price! Highly recommend booking so you don’t wait in line too long. Large seating area so you can also come in groups.
We went on a Saturday and chose the $35pp all you can eat buffet. There was a good selection of ingredients and the service was great. Would come back :)
Ample seats, extensive food options. Loved the Sichuan broth, the staffs were always checking on us, very friendly. We had mostly seafood, but since there were halal options, I had some beef and lamb as well. To finish off, cool watermelon and oranges were just perfect! Will go back again.
Satisfying.
Hotpot City is a hot pot buffet restaurant serving a diverse range of vegetables, noodles, meat, seafood balls, and seafood. It is located in Little Saigon Plaza, Bankstown. There is ample seating inside and pram friendly.
I so wanted to eat here as who doesn't love cooking your own concoction of ingredients in your individual pot on a cold winter's day? So satisfyingly warm, tasty, and very filling.
Being a weekend, we had to wait 30 minutes for a table. We were then seated and given a menu of 11 soup bases to choose from, you can order 1 or 2 flavors per pot. You write your selection on the paper order and hand this paper to the bar. We ordered drinks at the same time. Not long after, our soups arrived and we turned on our individual electric stoves for the soup to boil. You can ask for a 'top up' of your soup as it runs out free of charge. I couldn't wait to see the buffet bar and hoe into my hot pot.
My mouth dropped as I saw the buffet selection. There was so much variety that I only got one of a select range of seafood balls, some shaved meat, tofu, leafy greens, tofu, and noodles as I knew there was no way I could try everything. If I could, I would have. There was also some fruit but we pretty much rolled out of the restaurant as we were so full.
The sauce and condiments bar was also impressive. I made my own sauce by mixing a few ingredients together and it tasted awesome.
As the soup boiled, we cooked our food to our liking and it was a very enjoyable experience as we dipped them into the sauce. The soup however was a bit bland. We got the chicken soup and ox tail and herbs soup.
The staff seemed friendly but was hard to wave down.
Verdict: Perfect for a cold night and if you have an appetite.
Seafood, meat, chicken & vegetable hotpot. $35 for Saturday lunch. And fruit for dessert. Great for family & friends get together. Parking near the restaurant is available.
came here for lunch buffet, it was priced really good with
$19 pp for lunch buffet.
there was a lot of vegetarian which was nice however not that much meat and whenever they brought out the beef or lamb, it would be gone in a minute.
the broth was nice and the staff were super friendly.
4.7 - The Best All-You-Can-Eat Hotpot Buffet ($37) that I have had. And no crowds! Makes it perfect for catch-ups with friends. I love the items they have there although the only thing missing is probably Asian drinks and desserts (like a sweet red bean soup or white fungus papaya to soothe those throats after all the heat of the Hotpots). Or else a drink of wintermelon or plum to even up our systems? They have watermelon, which is great, but it's often room temperature rather than chilled. Love this place though! Glad I brought my friends to experience it! This is the only thing I come out to Bankstown for!
This place is really good and very friendly staff. I enjoyed the hotpot soup. So many choices of meat and vegetables. Hot plates were working perfectly and didn't have to wait for too long. I highly recommend this place and stuff. This is not a place for regular visit but once in a while this is a good place for dinner.
Love the place and you leave full and satisfied! Going in a big group is also enjoyable as there are big tables. They have a good variety of spices, Veggies, noodles and more. They also provide you with watermelon after your meal which is very refreshing.
So unfortunate I had to come during a diet restriction (hence no ‘meat’) but I quite enjoyed the experience with what was available. $37 for an all you can eat seems fair as long as you eat your fill. Variety of sauces available and the quality of food was decent. Would definitely go back now without the diet restriction.
Yesterday was my first time to eat here. To be honest, I was amazed. The food are very fresh and varied, also the prices are very affordable. There is also a great variety of pot bases and small ingredients. Overall it was a very good experience.
Wll, I have a little tip: it would be wonderful if there is a tomato soup!
Easy access from the carpark inside Saigon Plaza.
Would recommend making a booking beforehand.
Several soup bases available and AYCE meats and veggies and condiments which is good.
Reasonably priced.
Came on a Sunday and was quite busy which meant food was topped up quite frequently.
Bar also available for beverages!
Individual pots and soup bases, top up is available!
Probably the most busy place in Little Saigon Plaza. Plenty of options, food wise and soup base wise. You have your own little heating plate to cook your food in your pot. Also more room than expected here but i would still book in advance
We enjoyed Hot pot city, it was great choice for family dinner.Tomyum base soup and lamb slices were the best choices. All pre cooked dishes were well delicious and plenty of chpices.
