All-You-Can-Eat Hacks: How to Get the Most from Your Hotpot City Visit

Planning a visit to Hotpot City this winter? With endless Korean BBQ, bubbling hotpot broth, and a wide selection of meats, seafood, and veggies, it's a feast you won’t want to waste. Here’s how to get the most from your all-you-can-eat experience.

First, don’t arrive completely starving. Having a light meal earlier in the day can help you pace yourself and enjoy more variety without feeling sluggish. Once seated, fire up the grill first. Start with thinly sliced meats like beef or pork belly — they cook quickly and give you a flavourful head start.

At the same time, get your hotpot broth working by adding veggies, tofu, and noodles. Juggling both the BBQ and hotpot means you can enjoy a full experience without waiting too long for food to cook.

Don’t forget to hit the sauce station. Customise your dipping sauce using soy, garlic, chili, and sesame oil — or ask staff for their favourite mix.

Pace your orders. Ordering in small rounds prevents waste and gives you time to savour each bite. And of course, hotpot is always better with company. Bring friends or family and share the fun.

Finally, book ahead, especially on weekends. Hotpot City is a popular winter destination, and reserving your table guarantees you won’t miss out on a delicious night out.
