mmer Huang sits in the midst of the relatively new district shopping centre in Chatswood. A conveniently located Chinese Hotpot restaurant, Simmer Huang is a great little place for all of you lovers of spicy food! The accessibility of this venue is also of a very high standard.
Considering its prime location, getting there should be a breeze. If going during peak shopping hours, your best bet is to catch a train to Chatswood station and continue down Victoria Ave. Driving there is also possible, but, as expected, parking can get somewhat problematic. The bus is another viable option, so there are many ways you can get there.
Inside, Simmer Huang has a plush yet modern interior. The large windows provide plenty of natural light during the day and during the evenings the room lit subtly, providing a cosy and relaxed atmosphere. There are no major barriers to accessibility that came to my notice.
The corridors both in the shopping centre and the restaurant are spacious; and lifts/ramps are available wherever they may be required. However, you may want to watch out for some of those sharp turns! In order to arrive at Simmer Huang, you must make a rather sharp turn to the left.
There are no problems with the bathrooms. Ample space to move around, hand rails where the need to be and, most importantly everything is clean and new!
Simmer Huang has a relatively novel way of placing orders, which has become popular in many Sydney joints over the last couple of years. Each table has a sheet, listing all the orders; and you are required to tick your desired meals.
However, please note that there is the option to order food verbally if you have any issues with the box system. In my experience, friendly staff are always kind and obliging!
The menu is as interesting as it is diverse. There are a variety of dishes including soups, hotpot and well as other noodle/rice based dishes. Ordering the noodles as a particularly interesting experience, as they are hand stretched right at your table!
At approximately $70 for two people, Simmer Huang is in the moderate price range. Nevertheless, it is a restaurant of great quality and is perfect for all lovers of spicy food. Yes, spicy food. The vast majority of the dishes are quite hot so keep that in mind! That being said, even if you like your food more mild, there is no reason why you should sit this one out. I am certain that the staff will be more than happy to discuss your options and alternatives.
In general, I had a great experience at Simmer Huang Chatswood. Accessibility, atmosphere, service and food get a big thumbs up from me! I’d even go as far as to say that this place is a must have experience for any aspiring Sydney Foodie.

Simmering Ninja!!!
So this is a cross between Simmer pot and hot pot. Firstly you simmer the food in the selected sauce and after eating the first lot they add soup in the simmer pot and turns it into hot pot!! You will need to order more food for the hot pot.
Im not a fan of hot pot but this wasn't bad, nice idea and great selections of food.
Until next time ... Keep eating!!!
Very cool concept, raw mix of dishes are put in front of you. Then they place it all in the pot like Art. Thereafter it cooks for about 30minutes.. Few different phases to produce the most amazing pot of awesomeness. If you still game, they pour broth into it after your done & add vegies and home made noddles to cap it off.

Hovering above Chatswood Station, The District is a futuristic food court you’re going to want to visit. Suppressing the urge to parkour, I explored the colourful indoor ‘laneways’ on foot - earmarking a few Asian street food outlets for a return visit.Tonight I’m eating at Simmer Huang, a Chinese mega-chain that boasts more than 500 restaurants worldwide. Their mainstay is the “simmer pot” - their own offshoot from the traditional Chinese hot pot.Simmer pots are cooked at your table by enthusiastic Simmer Huang staff.Even better: after you get bored with your main dish, staff return to your table to hand-stretch noodles. They throw them into your leftovers with broth, creating a second steaming course of soup.Touted as a “fourth generation” restaurant for the chain, this is the first Simmer Huang outlet to include a bar. The cocktail list may see you raise an eyebrow at ingredients like osmanthus, Chinese hawthorn sugar, peanut soup and jujube tea, but they’re surprisingly well handled across the inexpensive range of drinks.In Plum Blossom ($13), 12-year-old Glenlivet whisky is combined with Aperol, osmanthus, smoked plum juice, and lemon juice, then garnished with edible white fungus
I’m back! Did you miss me? It’s Delia – your one and only Chinatown food tour guide! I know it’s been a while… you’ve forgotten me haven’t you… well this is awkward. Let’s talk about someone you might actually know: *drumroll* Alvin Quah, of MasterChef fame! Simmer Huang (think Chinese hot pot, but with a twist) hosted a MasterChef Simmer Series coinciding with the opening of their restaurant in Chatswood. Here’s how the simmering went.
Simmer Huang is hosting a MasterChef Simmer Series and the second ambassador Billy Law, developed a limited edition Three Cups Chicken Simmer Pot! We were lucky enough to be invited down to their second menu launch, having also been invited to the first with Alvin Quah. Feel free to check out our previous post with Alvin Quah's duck salad.
Interesting hot pot sort of dinner, the staff are very helpful and cook it for you. The noodle looks interesting when made and tastes alright but gets stuck together and becomes undercooked. Points off for being a bit pricey and the ingredients are expensive.
Had a beautiful dinner last night at Simmer Huang. The food is fresh and I live the atmosphere. The menu is majorly hot pot so bring your friends and order a delicious hot pot and relax. What I love is that once your eaten all the main ingredients they come back and hand stretch noodles in front of you and add to the hot pot. It's awesome. Go ASAP.

We had heard the Simmer Huang chain of restaurants have over 500 restaurants throughout Asia alone , so we were very excited about attending the opening launch in Chatswood recently at the Interchange building Victoria Avenue.They have a very good reputation, but we were completely blown away by the extravagant detail they had gone to in the décor of the new four week old restaurant.
The sleek new dining precinct above the revamped Chatswood station is going from strength to strength, with international Chinese hotpot restaurant Simmer Huang setting up shop on the top floor next to The District food court. The large, cavernous space is decked out with an industrial chic interior with splashes of red and slate columns, making it well suited to its unconventional hotpots which are born from Simmer Huang’s CEO’s ancient family recipes passed down from his ancestors who were chefs to the Emperor of China.
Simmer Huang has recently settled their top floor restaurant in Chatswood Interchange. They are known worldwide with over 500 venues across the globe for the interesting take on a hotpot, the Simmer Pot! You must head to Chatswood and experience this unique new hotpot based restaurant concept! We were invited to dine at Simmer Huang by Wasamedia to taste the limited special edition dish created by Masterchef Australia star, Alvin Quah which you can try now!!
Great experience after visiting the city branch, wonderful service and tasty food!
