My go-to hotpot place in Melbourne! Da Long Yi offers an extensive menu choices. Their spicy soup is no joke - If you think you can handle spicy food well, you have to try this to prove yourself😂 I always love a good spicy hotpot but their 'Little spicy' is more like extra spicy to me. Literally couldn't feel my tongue after this meal 🥵 Their non-spicy soup bases were very flavourful too.

They just have the best spicy soup stock and a variety of choices on the menu! - they also have the choice to get half size for some food choices which makes it perfect when you don’t want too much of something!

Chilli and controversy – the two main ingredients stirring the big hot pot at Da Long Yi. The two-storey restaurant on Elizabeth street presents the ultimate Sichuan Hot Pot experience that’ll have you sweating, laughing and rubbing your big full belly at the end.
Hailing from Cheng-Du, China, Szechuan Spicy Hot Pot started in 2013 bringing classic, deep-spiced soup bases and exotic ingredients. Da Long Yi has launched over 210 franchises in China, US, New Zealand and Australia – it’s safe to say the world has truly fallen in love with Chengdu’s flavour.
Welcoming the new year of the rat, Da Long Yi hosted an elegant dinner banquet starting with crispy pork, spicy beef jerky and chicken with chilli sauce. Then for the main even, the glorious hot pot. There are two soup bases: the Sichuan spicy – claimed to be medium spicy level but it’s actually more like supernova extreme spicy level – and the classic fish soup – full of collagen and great for your skin.
Platters upon platters of goodies are served to plonk into the soups, including meatballs, seafood balls, tofu slices and vegetables. But the star of the show is always the Wagyu beef slices fashioned on a Lady Gaga-esque Barbie doll. Controversial? Yes. Hilarious? Absolutely! (It’s all over Instagram already!). At this point in our banquet, we were drenched in sweat (there’s SO much chilli oil) and our faces hurt from cacking ourselves.
The desserts are simple but classic: fried glutinous cake with brown sugar. It’s super chewy, sweet and warm, essentially everything you want in a dessert to soothe the spicy attack on your tastebuds.
Gong Xi Fa Cai! Celebrate Chinese New Year with the latest hot pot in town.
Situated on Elizabeth Street, Da Long Yi Hot Pot Australia, specialises in Schezuan spicy hot pot that is native to ChengDu, China.
I had received an invite to check out their New Year celebrations and also enjoy the delicious hot pot. The Schezuan broth is super spicy (ooh but I loved it!), but don't worry, there are other broth options for those who are not so adventurous. Also a variety of ingredients to choose from to customize your hotpot.
Da Long Yi Hotpot is a great authentic hotpot in the CBD, although it is a bit pricey the interior is really nice and the soup broths are deep and flavourful. Beware as the Sichuan little spice is definitely super spicy even for me! Definitely get a Sichuan soup as it is their best soup however if you can’t handle spice, I recommend getting another soup base like mushroom soup and mixing the two. The meatballs were homemade and delicious and sliced beef set very nice! They had a promotion for a free soup base when I went there which took $30 off our bill making it very affordable, however without that it could be a bit pricey but well worth your money!

Very popular place and prompt service. the food is presented well. A bit pricy but lots of selection.
You could select the non spicy soup base.
Amazing and helpful staff members that advised us which level of spiciness is recommended for my partner and I. The Sichuan soup for the hot pot is definitely very spicy, that’s why the servers advised the least level of spiciness. The beef, lamb, and pork were extremely fresh, and the servers are always helpful to sort the hot pot out for us. Keep up the fantastic food!

A big place for a hot pot. The waitress was kind enough to warn us the spicy original would be very spicy which unfortunately was not for us. Couldn’t find fish balls in the menu. The veg platter was a bit diappointing with varieties of leafy vegetables. Other places serve other stuffs like corn n all.
The main downside was $3 per person for the dips.
Very oriental and red interior. Expect great service.
The mushroom soup is recommended. Very flavorful and comes with some sliced mushrooms. It gets topped up along the way. The less spicy option of the spicy and mushroom was quite spicy for myself. Packed with Sichuan peppers and chilis.
The sliced pork belly and beef is thinly sliced. The spicy spare ribs are covered in a thick layer of chilli but has minimal meat.
