Reviews Xiong Qi Hot Pot

Had a great experience here! Contrary to some other reviews service was friendly and helpful talking us through how long to cook each ingredient and how much we should order between 6 of us. The hotpot itself was really tasty and great value - including a couple of rounds of drinks it was only around £20 a head. Would definitely go again.

We went here for lunch with 5 Adults and 3 Kids. We had chosen mixed soup base. It was quite expensive for the charges.

Nice, but not spectacular. Some of the items were clearly frozen, which is understandable, but at the very least some effort could have been used to conceal this. If you can't read Chinese, it is not easy to decipher the weird English font on the menu. Staff on break eating on next table and talking loudly was a bit distracting. But generally a pleasant experience.

Cool experience. The food was delicious and as our first time there one of the servers explain us all the steps for make your own hot pot what it was super helpful. It felt really authentic. I really recommend it

Brilliant.. way more traditional than others..get to pick and choose how and when you want to cook your dishes...enjoyable because its not all done behind the scenes..you can see what you're actually making and be involved..Good for the kids to help out with the cooking and see what they're eating! Staff were great and explained how it all worked for us. You can add extras if you feel you need more afterwards...the food gets bought out within about 5 mins! Will definitely return and bring along some friends..vegan and vegetarian options too!

Excellent dining experiance, the staff couod jot have been more helpful and explained lots to us about both the menu and how to cook the food. Thoroughly recommended, the place was busy on a Tuesday night and now we know why.

I’m so surprised with such a low rating for such an amazing restaurant. If I can give it 10 stars I would. Ever since discovering this place over a year ago , I have been here almost on a weekly basis if not more often. The restaurant have improved and provides a menu for non Chinese speakers with extra details and the staff are super friendly. Myself being Caucasian actually got compliments and guidance from staff multiple times. The food is yummy and many dishes are delicacies you can’t find in any other place. The restaurant in the span of last year has gotten many clients who aren’t just intentional students but rather big local families of various nationalities. They are working hard to keep the quality very good and open up this wonderful hot pot culture to as many people as possible. Many in the comments gave 1 star to this place simply due to high price. Guys , Xiong Qi isn’t McDonalds or Chinese Buffet , it is a hot pot experience of the highest level, with great food to try and have a great time, tables are isolated from one another and you get private food experience with your partner and can have a great time together. And if price is such an issue for many , why not come in a group of 3 or 4 people for instance than cost is more than doable, but even for 2 you can get an abundance of drinks , deserts , food for roughly 50£ per person, which is not too high price at all taking into account how delicious the food is and how good of a time you’re gonna have. P.S compared to ALL of the restaurants in China Town , this place almost always won’t be ridiculously busy and you will get a table instantly , and it never hurts to call the restaurant to ask if there is a free table or not. So when some people write about 45 minutes wait , it sounds very hard to believe given my over 50 times visit there.
