Me and my friend came here last Friday and it was an amazing experience. The lady Sama (I think that’s her name) she personally came and explained how long to cook each dish for. She made us this special dipping oil sauce that had garlic, coriander, scallions, sesame oil, oyster and soy sauce. She even made some of our food and personally plated it for us in our bowls and she did such a lovely gesture of giving me and my friend a cute freebie which was this tote bag. She was genuinely so sweet and lovely and I just wanted to give her a special shout out. Thank you so much if you’re reading this Sama! I also want to thank Vivinz and Alan (again, I think that is their names), they were very lovely and were so welcoming, any time our hotpot needed more water we didn’t even have to ask and they would come immediately and re fill it. Honestly, I loved it so much I told my friends about it and I will definitely be coming here again. The food was so good I literally crave it, especially that dipping oil sauce. They also have a halal menu that has a range of options. Thank you so much guys!! :)

This was our first time having Hotpot and it was amazing. Our waiter, Lin, did a great job showing us how to use the hotpot. The food itself was delicious. Would come back and time, 10/10.
If you are there, make sure to check out the basement as well…

First time trying hot pot. My experience was made even better when my server, Allan helped me navigate through the long menu from selecting meat/seafood options to dipping sauce recommendations. Thank you, Allan for an amazing service.

Amazing hot pot in the center of London, I lived in Taiwan for a year and it wouldn’t be surprising if I was still there right now.
Good selection of hot pot soup base, meats, veggies and even some BBQ options.
Literally everything I had was yummy.
There is no sauce bar but they offer some free options on the menu, remember to pick them.
Also, some of the meat preparation are really cute and great for photos!

This was such an amazing experience, the food was great and the staff was friendly! Would highly recommend but its a bit on the price side. One thing i would say is that the seat were quite low (I'm short) and it was hard to reach in the pot.

pretty decent hotpot experience. do appreciate not having all you can eat all the time. makes you more conscious about what you're eating and appreciating the flavors, didn't come out to do much despite that and had fresh portions of meat and veggies that they offer in platter form which reduces the decision and a pretty good. overall. The spicy is not like the Szechuan spice that I'm used to back in New York but has his own distinct flavor, and the tomato soup is nice. rich one to have, also good service

Went here for my friends hen do the other evening (Friday). It’s a hot pot style diner where you cook the dishes yourself in the boiling broth.
There was a variety of food to choose from. The food was good. The spicy broth was a little too spicy for me but in general it’s great fun as long as you enjoy this cuisine.
We were in a separate room which is also for karaoke. The system was great and had a good selection.
The service was friendly, helpful and fun. Thank you for making it so enjoyable!
I would go again

Had an amazing hotpot experience at Hotto Potto! We went for the two-flavour broth with the spicy chilly and tomato soup base, perfect balance of numbing heat and rich, comforting flavour.
The ingredients were super fresh, especially the lamb rolls, lotus root, mushroom platter, and hand-cut chicken. The wide variety made it great for sharing and experimenting with different textures and spice levels.
The sesame and garlic dipping sauces were a great touch, and I appreciated the option to customize everything.
The table setup was clean and efficient, with a good pace of service even during a busy evening.
Total came to about £185 for our group including drinks and a generous 12.5% service charge, which felt very reasonable considering the amount and quality of food.
Definitely a fun, interactive dining experience, will be back, maybe with a group for karaoke next time.
Vivian was our host and she was an excellent host,.

Lovely atmosphere. Food is quality and staff friendly. The broth we chose was chicken based & was a bit too spicy, apart from that it was great. Would definitely go back there. I would choose a vegetable as its mild, as the other mild broths had pork in it, which I do not eat. The Mai Tai cocktail was lovely!
Vyona Stu
Came to this restaurant and it was our first hot pot. The food was lovely but the service was one of the best I’ve experienced. Vivian in particular was very helpful and welcoming, as it was our first time she wasn’t judgmental at all and very welcoming. I would definitely come back!
Imogen Horne
Good place to get hot pot. It was a large, nice, and neat spot for a variety of party sizes. We waited around 25 minutes. The service was good. Overall, the quality of the stuff was average and same with the broth.
Alex Nguyen
My gosh, this hot pot place is delicious.
The food and the broth was so fresh.
All food came quick and the staff were friendly and efficient.
Would 100% come back

Warm welcoming and helpful staff. The hot pot is delicious especially the sour soup base. Trust me the chilli is super spicy! The staff will definitely let you know and double check it with you before ordering. We love mala so for us it was delicious. The meat quality is also great. If you are around the East London Whitechapel area I would totally say it's worth a visit.

The food is fresh, flavourful, and they have some good halal options. It’s excellent value for money; the portions are good, the ingredients high quality, and the overall vibe is welcoming and relaxed. I’d definitely recommend making a reservation if you don’t want to wait, as it can get busy. Sometimes they also run really good deals, so keep an eye on their socials or website.

Vivian was an amazing waiter to us. She gave us the best food options. It was our 1st time here. Everything was amazing. A must try Hurley for the experience. Will definitely be back. Would recommend booking as this place gets booked out!!!

Absolutely fantastic dining experience! The food was exquisite, with perfect flavors and beautiful presentation. Service was attentive yet unobtrusive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Every dish exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for an exceptional meal!
Zhiwen Zhang
Very yummy! The beef tallow spicy broth was very spicy, so be warned! I highly recommend the BBQ skewers. A little expensive but the food is very good and they have a lunch deal.

Great atmosphere, with amazing food. Staff were attentive and customer service was brilliant. A brilliant variety of meats and food to choose from, we got both hotpot and some BBQ, meat was tender and well seasoned for the BBQ, and the broth was aromatic and flavourful!
