Hotpot restaurants in Shànghǎi

  1. A

    Dolar Shop

    Hotpot is a favourite across China, especially in the winter months, but this top-notch chain is popular with the locals no matter what the season because of the quality ingredients and the big range of sauces (Y4), essential to hotpot dining, which you can mix yourself at the sauce bar. The procedure is simple; you cook your own choice of food in the hotpot at your table and add the sauce to your taste. The home-made meatballs (pork or beef; Y18 to Y22) are great and there’s seafood and vegies (from Y6) as well. There are other branches, mostly in shopping malls, around the city.

    Donglaishun

    Hotpot king Donglaishun enjoys a reputation among locals as highly burnished as its brass hotpots. Perfect for one of those clammy, frigid Shanghai winters, but any season will do. There’s no English menu so hand gesticulations are in order, or point at the characters in this book.

    Qimin Organic Hotpot

    Qimin makes use of a 6th-century treatise on agriculture and food preparation to prepare healthy, sophisticated hotpots for discerning diners.
