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!

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!

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.

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!!!

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!

Good and comfortable place with a variety of beef and lamb. The food and broth also came out really fast so we could dig in quickly.
The spicy broth is really rich and the bone broth is very hearty. Also got a 50% off which made this trip very worth it.
Would definitely recommend coming here for lunch

I visited Hotto Potto in London on a Sunday and had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxed meal. I opted for the vegetarian hot pot, choosing two flavorful broth bases—tomato and mushroom—both absolutely delicious and full of depth.
The veggie options were fresh, plentiful, and paired beautifully with the broths. It was a fun, interactive dining experience that felt both comforting and satisfying.
Definitely a great spot for hot pot lovers, with fantastic vegetarian choices and a cozy vibe. I’ll be back!

Amazing atmosphere and amazing food very fast moving. Food was served very quickly which was great. We didn’t have to wait for too long for a table either. All the staff are very welcoming and friendly. The restaurant and the toilets are very clean as well. The hot pots are really good flavour and everything was fresh. Cannot recommend this place enough. Can’t wait to be back

Hotto Potto is a fantastic spot for hotpot lovers! The food is fresh, the broth options are full of flavour, and there’s a great variety of meats, seafood, and vegetables. One of the best things is that they offer halal options, which makes it a great choice for everyone. The staff were super friendly and happy to explain how everything works, especially if you’re new to hotpot. The atmosphere is cozy, clean, and perfect for a fun meal with friends or family. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a delicious and interactive dining experience in London!

If I could give this 0 stars I would.
The most horrible dining experience I have ever had. First let’s start off with the hygiene, it was absolutely disgusting. Utensils and surfaces seemed to be covered in a layer of grime or oil, certainly not appetising.
While the food looked ‘appetising’ at the surface level the taste was far from that. The chilli base was not edible at all, it was filled with the overwhelming taste of peppercorn and did not have an actual taste beyond that. It was awful to eat and really could not consume any of it. The meat also had a stench to it which made it rather inedible and neither of us were able to finish any of it. The mushrooms were also stringy and not how it usually would be. Overall the taste was horrible, the servers were asked if we could be accommodated in any other day and they flat out refused. The soup bases made the food inedible and had this horrible chilly peppercorn oily aftertaste. We also tried the satay sauce, it tasted horrible. We could not finish the food at all, and what we did attempt to eat left us with y a horrible stomach ache after. I could not get rid of the spicy oily taste from my throat and I felt horrible after this food.
As if the food was not bad enough, the service was somehow even worse. Throughout our time there, we received no service let alone outstanding service from the staff. As someone trying hotpot for the first time, if you want to charge me a service charge should at least explain but nothing of that sort was done. Not to mention all the food did not come at once, it was staggered so we could not put everything into the hotpot at once either. We had to wait to catch their attention for over an hour to try and pay the bill and even then they took so long.
Here comes the main issue, when we dined they had a 20% off offer. Now when it came to bill, we told them throughout our service that we were not happy with the food but did not receive any accommodations. The service was also appalling. So of course when it came to the bill, we did not want to include the service charge as it did not feel they did the part. The server told us that if we are to remove the service charge then they would also remove the 20% off. Nowhere was it mentioned that service charge is mandatory for the 20% off. There was no written or verbal indication for this prior to ordering food. If service charge is mandatory it should be clearly communicated but it was not. The server clearly took advantage of the situation. If the service and food was good, anyone would be happy to pay. But not only was the food horrible, we also had to pay for the horrible service? This place is clearly running a scam and people would be better off trying elsewhere. Unless you’re happy to have your money waste away. Note to Hotto Potto: Do better!

Great service and really good food. The waiters were friendly and attentive, the soup bases were flavourful, and the meat was fresh. Highly recommend the fresh noodles and the grilled squid tentacles!

Hotto Potto has quickly become one of my favorite spots in London. The food is consistently delicious, especially their spicy tallon beef soup base – rich, flavourful, and packed with just the right amount of heat (actually really spicy). It’s a must-try if you enjoy a good kick with your hot pot!
Beyond the food, the service here is truly exceptional. The staff are always attentive without being intrusive – they check in regularly, and I never have to ask for anything twice (if at all!). It’s clear they genuinely care about creating a great experience, and I always feel well taken care of whenever I visit.
Highly recommend for anyone looking for a comforting, tasty hot pot with top-notch service.

Fresh food. Spicy broth worth to try. Friendly staff. Really well designed environment. Extremely clean. Recommended place to experience hotpot in central London
Tony Cheung
Surprisingly good BBQ food and fresh ingredients for hotpot. Nice variety as well. The sound system and choices of songs for Karaoke are also on point. Kind of pricey but good experience. And you get to have BBQ, hotpot and karaoke in one go so brilliant choices for team building. Service is fast, gentle and kind.

The team here is very friendly and accommodating to your selections. They even de-veined our shrimp for us in front of us (comes with shell usually). The food is great value for money and you get a lot in your portion! Thank you to Steven for making us feel comfortable!
