Crown Hotpot in Leeds

Love this place! Amazing service. Edward was our waiter and he was so welcoming and friendly. It was our first time having hot pot and he gave us the best tips! Vegan and Veggie options available. We highly recommend the mushroom broth as a base. Delicious! We will be back!

I was looking forward for coming here with 2 friends. Travelled from another city, got here and it said closed. It says open on google. Absolutely ridiculous. Wasted our time and now we’re going home hungry.

It's a strange place to find, as access is through the supermarket and upstairs, but the find it worth, as the food is excellent, staff friendly and reasonably priced. No parking as such so look for a nearby paid multi storey etc, but well worth a visit....you can stock up in the supermarket too while you are there 😉 Great authentic food and good quality. Served really quickly and would definitely recommend to anyone. Thank you for a great evening.

My friend and I came here for dinner having never had hotpot before. The waiter was so kind and helpful to explain everything throughout the meal. The food was amazing and we will definitely come back

Went about 2 years ago with a friend and the food was amazing, definitely over ordered. There was a lack of English speaking staff so when asking for suggestions we ordered half the menu, the food was amazing though!!!

I mean look at my pictures! Definitely enjoyed to the max! If you haven’t tried hot pot before - go!! A picture paints a thousand words

The most amazing food. Great prices and very nice staff

Perfect Food has its price but also it's value. Service is amazing, the people explain it very well and are very welcoming. Food is just fantastic, lots of variety as well. 10/10 totally recommend.

Please note this is cash only (there is a Tesco next door with a cash machine) Great service, staff showed us how to make sauces and how to cook ingredients. Food was amazing and I hate Asian food usually. The gentleman who served us was very knowledgeable and even took time to show the kids how to cook and enjoy their experience. We did order way too much but staff offered to bag it for us to take home (guess what I had to make for supper?) I went with my 2 kids, I would recommend going as a group of 4 or more as the choices are to your taste. The choice is huge and we forgot the basics like rice and spring rolls. I enjoyed the Prawn Mash The price is reasonable for what you get and worth the experience.

went for a birthdat meal, really nice food, really nice staff. only issue is parking, but i was able tk park in the permit spot

Great food, lovely staff but only issue is they only take cash or bank transfer. - Expensive.

Awesome, I absolutely loved the place.

Went there with my boss at night. Location, food and service were all great! 😊 The food was served very quickly. I tried beef tongue for the first time and it’s surprisingly tender!

First time having hot pot and had a fabulous experience with the team here! Everyone super friendly, asked if it was our first time and made excellent suggestions and were very attentive in making sure we had a wonderful meal and a fabulous time. The food was well presented, super fast and plentiful! Average prices for a meal for two - all in all very happy and will deffo be back 👍😎

Loved it, the staff are super friendly and accommodating, the food comes quickly and the restaurant is really nice inside. Always enjoy it every time we come here!! It's a hidden gem.

Came here today for the second time with my 10-year-old son for our mum & son night. I was surprised the waiter who was so good last time remembered us! He is by far the most polite, helpful and attentive waiter I have ever had! So helpful and made both experiences we have had absolutely fantastic, especially as the first time we came I didn't have a clue how any of it worked and what half of it even was. Anyway with his help, we were able to select a decent range of things for our hotpot and it was all delicious and really allowed both my son and I to try a whole range of things and new experiences. We came away feeling very full and the waiter had packed away the things we didn't quite manage to finish for us to bring home. It was actually my son that had found this place and the novel idea of literally cooking the food at the table did sound interesting. All In all it was a lovely evening, extremely helpful and attentive staff who can't do enough for you. The restaurant its self isn't massive and is over the top of a Chinese supermarket which also has a great selection of things at good prices. If you come to the restaurant for the first time, please be aware that they don't take card payments so you need to bring cash, or they do allow a bank transfer thankfully as I was unaware of the lack of card payment facility on my first visit. You are given a menu at the start if you choose hot pot and are asked to select your soup broth and anything else. You will be served all of these on separate plates with a large hot pot In the middle which you place your ingredients in to cook. There is the option of a condiments selection which is charged at around £2.90 (approx) per person. The bill today for my son and I for one broth, 2 smaller meat selection (lamb & beef), a mushroom selection, prawns and flat noodles then a can of coke and a J20 was £58.30. It isn't what you would call cheap however It filled both my son and I and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We will definitely return. I'm very sorry I didn't catch the waiter name who served us on both occasions but he was amazing. Thank you.

Heard so many good reviews from my colleagues and hence decided to give them a try! OMG!!!! I love them!!! The food was excellent!!!!!!! The service they give is really really outstanding!!!!! Each and every person specifically Daniel was so sweet!!! When we told him that it’s our first time trying it he gave clear cut instructions about how to have the food, how to make the BEST sauce….. I love how hygienic they are!!! The washroom was really clean!!! The restaurant atmosphere was really welcoming!!!! They never rest I guess!! I mean they are constantly running around and helping everyone!!!! Sooo nice place!!! Definitely recommend👍👍👍👍 Will visit AGAIN FOR SURE!!!!!!!!!

The location of the restaurant is very good, it is located by the road, where there are a lot of buses and it is close to the center. Before you enter the restaurant, make sure you have cash with you, as you can pay by card here. The tables and toilet are in great condition, very clean inside. The food is fresh, the portions are very good for this type of restaurant, you can eat very well, but you will also spend a lot, it is best to go with friends (the whole group) and share the bill and food. If you like trying new culinary experiences, you should visit this place! The service was very, very nice.

An enjoyable experience in a Chinese place! Add your favourite ingredients and make your HotPot 🫕

My favorite ‘ Chinese restaurant in Leeds ! Lovely food always and great staff!!!👍

I left here with a bad taste in my mouth. Not necessarily from the food, but from the bill. My partner and I turned up for what was supposed to be a quick lunch which ended up setting us back £70+ and we left the majority of it. It was just bland, I'm really not sure what the fuss is about. Us ordering so many dishes, I guess wasn't their fault, but what I didn't agree with was being told to help ourselves to the condiments, while we waited for the food, only for them to sneakily bill us, over £5, for this. They're not free! If you really want to go, a tip would be to ask them how many dishes they recommend to order. Second, don't get the condiments, or maybe only send one person to get them and you may as well get them all, not just a small dish of soy. Lastly, look around and see what the regulars are eating. None of them had the hot pot dishes, just the bento boxes, which to be fair, looked tasty. And they're a fraction of the price.

Great place Will be going again and again

10/10 every time I go here. Never any complaints and service is fantastic. I just wish they were a tad closer to home.

Just been to the hot pot restaurant last couple days a ago ! First time I’m here for the hot pot it was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent too ,especially the young man staff very experience and patience！definitely back highly recommend !👍

Had a very pleasant experience there. The staff who served us Today are so friendly which is quite refreshing. We usually get very rude waitresses at Chinese restaurants. Food was also delicious.

- Fast service - Good food - Friendly and attentive staff - Expensive - Cash only I think it's a little expensive for what it is. There were two of us and I spent just over £150, but this has no impact on my review; the food was good, and the service was quick. However, they wanted to charge us an additional £2 each to drink our own drinks, which I thought was shameful. It is also cash only so be prepared for that

I went here with a couple of work colleagues a week ago, what a great experience! The waiter was absolutely brilliant and took the time to give detailed instructions, recommendations, and even made a customised a dip for the table. The food was brilliant and there was a wide choice to cover all tastes. Price was good, not super cheap but I felt for what we got it was great value for money. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant, it was our first hotpot experience and any trepidation was lifted immediately - thank you! We will absolutely be visiting again.

What was described as ‘fresh beef with honey comb’ came out as cow stomach lining! It was disgusting and ruined the whole meal! Spent £50 and came away hungry! Service was brilliant and everyone was kind, but the food was just horrendous.

A great gem of Leeds. Amazing food and great service.

Slow service, we have arrived & ordered by 12:45pm, nearly an hour later until the food has finally arrived. The worst part was that they weren't busy at all! Having to nudge the service several times for remaining items and ended up cancelled 1 as we need to head back for the carpark. Thought 2hrs was plenty of time for lunch and a la carter hotpot! Waitress was nice enough if you can find them. Tried to ask for cutlery for my young son, they can't even bother to take initiative to provide 1 fork!!! God helps them during busy period! Food was ok. Won't going back unless I have more time than saint!

Excellent food, good value for money

Very nice customer service. Nice fresh food!

Great place for hotpot! Service is really great

Disappointed I booked a table of 14 for my Partners birthday a month prior. Came to the day. I called to change the number of people attending as someone had cancelled. They had no record of a booking and couldn’t fit us in.

Looking for somewhere to eat at the last minute, we stumbled onto the place via Google Maps. Took a chance and walked through the supermarket up to the restaurant. The setting is clean and well maintained with very good spacing of tables. Plenty of seating too. From the minute we arrived we were greeted with a smile and they managed to fit us in without a booking (definitely book, this place is worth its popularity). From that point on, the service was attentive but never pushy. Always with a smile and couldn’t do enough, explained everything and gave excellent recommendations. The food was nothing short of an amazing experience. Choosing every item and able to eat at a slower pace and cook it as you go means more time to spend with those you’re dining with. Or you can eat food ready to go and make it a quick visit. Well presented with a great selection of meat, tofu, seafood and vegetables. 10/10.

What a find. Great restaurant upstairs from the also great Chinese supermarket. Massive choice of food and it’s all presented so nicely. Big hotpot in the middle of the table to cook your choices of food - went for the metre of beef and wasn’t disappointed. The service was good and the homemade plum juice was delicious. Highly recommend.

IF YOU HAVE A PEANUT ALLERGY BE CAREFUL! Excellent service by very friendly and courteous staff. The food was very tasty and not at all greasy. The eating style is interactive and engaging, a very new experience for us. However, sadly, despite communicating my partners peanut allergy to our waiter about 10 minutes in she had a reaction and couldn't eat anymore. We paid (reasonable price, not cheap) and returned home where after lengthy cramps she's thrown up what she did eat. A real shame. Its a good job her allergy isn't epipen level.

Food is perfectly ok, although the meats are nothing special. Pretty expensive though and they automatically add 10% service charge even though you're cooking your own food. I enjoyed it but for me it's too expensive for what it is.

Amazing first experience at hotpot! We were a bit intimidated beforehand as we’d never been but the staff were so lovely and explained the whole process and how long we should cook each meat/fish/veg for. The sliced lamb we ordered cooked in 10 seconds! Also ordered shell-on prawns, bok choy, noodles and dumplings with the tomato oxtail soup & medium Szechuan spice soup. The dipping sauce station was incredible too! *Cash only* but there is an ATM next door in front of the Tesco Express

The food was really nice and they also had halal options , the staff were amazing they were very helpful in choosing our options and offered very good customer service and made sure we were okay the whole way through.

Especially a place for university students.

I wish I could eat here every day thank you so much for what can only be considered as a amazing experience

An exciting, unusual culinary experience that I thoroughly enjoyed!! The menu was extensive and had something for everyone, whether your dietary preferences include meat, veggie or vegan options. The broths were tasty, we chose the medium spicy and the mild vegetable one, and the collection of marinades and sauces also made sure that we were able to get a variety of flavours to compliment the food and broths. Portion sizes were great, and overall was a novel eating out experience, even if things got a little messy! Only thing to be careful on was selecting what you want from the menu as a couple of things we ordered were incorrect as the tick boxes weren’t clear for what menu item they represented. Other than that, highly rate !!

Great place, unusual location as you enter via a shop on the ground floor, bit the food if fantastic, different as all served to the table and you cook it in the soup yourself, great social place to eat, food is not crazy expensive but very nice and the staff are all lovely

Great food, awesome sauces. Cash only, but atm next door at Tesco. And the supermarket it is above is a goldmine as well! We will be back.

Great experience. Food was OK. The boss made our visit 5 Star. Food is halal.

Food was delicious, medium spicy was spicer than we expected. Waitress was very nice and helpful. Homemade plum juice was amazing. Reasonably priced, large portions.

Food was very nice, ate soo much. The prawns the chicken the beef all very nice. The hotpot was yummy. Service was very good and would go back anytime.

Beautiful meal here, a little gem in Leeds. The food was so fresh and really great value for money. The staff were also very helpful and attentive -especially as it was our first experience with Hot Pot

My new favourite Chinese restaurant! Great for vegans too

The hotpot was so good. We chose the tom yum and the normal bone broth. Tom yum soup is highly reco! Also, I tried a lot of Hotpot around the world and if I will rate it, its 8/10!! Go and try it for yourself 💙 Very nice service as well.

I enjoy spicy food, I love the soup from the hotpot. I can’t wait to come again

Amazing Chinese hotpot ,the best I had will definitely come back

The restaurant is tucked away above the supermarket. The hotpot was absolutely amazing and the service was fantastic. I highly recommend a visit! We will definitely be back. Pro tip: don’t wear white!

The food is to a high standard the price is fair the atmosphere was great and they even stayed open later as we where a late arrive highly recommend

A very unique place to eat in Leeds, especially if you haven't tried Chinese hot pot before. Most of the menu items you can choose from are raw and then you boil the ingredients in the broth of your choosing. The portions are very big so make sure you don't order too many things at once! Lots of veggie options available too.

incredible traditional hot pot restaurant which was surprisingly EXCELLENT for vegan options. two vegetarian broths, many types of tofu, beancurd and gluten plus delicious fresh mushrooms and vegetables of many varieties. staff were absolutely lovely and very helpful in checking items for us (e.g. which noodles contained egg). other bits are vegan too such as vegetable dumplings, steamed rice, satay sauce, etc. homemade watermelon juice was a highlight too. will definitely be back here!

We had an amazing experience and we'll definitely go back! It was our first time having hot pot, so we were unsure about how it worked, but the girl who greeted us was so nice and helped us with the menu and the sauces. Everyone was so attentive and helpful. The quality of the food was great, so fresh and everything tasted lovely. Also, the restaurant looks and feels very clean, and the first thing I noticed when I walked in was the delicious smell! Definitely recommended :)

Many choices for the hot pot also for the soup, and also for the sauce you can pick up n choose by yourself ...will come back again if i visit leeds

The staff were so friendly and helped us with how to cook the food. They accommodated us when one of the soups was too spicy by hand removing the pepper corns. The were attentive with making sure the soup stayed stocked up. The food was delicious and arrived quickly. Definitely recommend for an authentic experience and a great price!

The food was wonderful, we are vegetarians and had many options to choose from. Do not order the clear oil soup as your base as it is pure oil and a lot of it. Go for some other base soup.

🤮Never come to eat such a bad hotpot, ever! Even the desserts are awful, only the drinks are still drinkable, I don't know where the good reviews are coming from. The pot base tasted bad, the vegetables and meat were not fresh, the seasoning was awful and the prices were not cheap. Its meat and vegetables looked like expired food brought up from the Chinese supermarket downstairs. Ordered chicken claws, very tough and lean meat, looked like frozen food from the market downstairs for a few quid a pack heated up. Wouldn't accept any explanation from the restaurant !

Interesting place and restaurant

beautiful restaurant, staff are so friendly and the food is fairly priced. the food was also amazing, will be coming again

Amazing food with a great atmosphere, staff friendly and food is well priced

Enjoyed the experience. Got the split hotpot with mild Szechuan and oxtail tomato. The Szechuan was too spicy for me haha but the flavour of the oxtail broth was nice. Got a sliced beef, sliced pork, some prawns, noodles, brocolli and baby pak choi. We left absolutely stuffed. Making your own dipping sauce is great as well. Just a note for anyone with light sensitivity the overhead lighting is extremely bright white and it took me a while to get used to. They also only take cash. I’d come back again.

酸菜魚味道合口味， 價錢實惠公道， 筷子好得意， 以前喺亞洲未見過呢種筷子， 環境清潔， 門口有少量車位， 牛黃喉同牛柏葉材料新鮮， 一米羊應該比一米牛抵食～！！！！

It was a good new experience. There were 8 of us having lunch, and it was a bit complicated to cook all the food. The pot was not hot, and we had to wait. The price was reasonable. Perhaps four or fewer people would expedite the cooking process.

Simply amazing place, hidden away in the back of a Chinese supermarket, it's a great Chinese hotpot, prices are about average for a good quality hotpot place, the meat, veggies and seafood are all high quality and the service is constantly amazing. Staff were super helpful, provided as much help as they possibly could, gave help to those that didn't know what to do, food arrived quickly and the hotpot was topped up constantly.

Amazing food with a great authentic twist.

First time trying this place after seeing it on social media, it’s nice, would come again

Lovely food,great service.will be going back again soon

Amazing food, great friendly service, bone broth is so well flavoured.. can be as cheap or expensive as you want.. .must try for everyone

First time here and had the Tom Yum broth, which was lovely. The veggie broth had a fair amount of oil though. An unusual experience but everyone enjoyed it and I'm sure we'll be back.

Absolutely fantastic food. The staff are amazing and couldn’t be more friendly and happy. What a fantastic start to the new year. Will definitely be back!

Probably the best hot pot in Yorkshire! Been to a couple of hot pot places, went to one near Leicester square and this one is by far better! A great experience, all the staff are extremely happy, helpful and extremely polite! They always go through the menu with you to ensure they have the right order and the base broths are amazing, pair that with first class ingredients and amazing staff and it's an absolute home run! Would recommend to anyone who hasn't tried hotpot before to try here first!

Lovely Hot Pot restaurant above the shop. Great range of dishes available, and lovely staff.

As nice as always. Soups are the best!

Decent food/ingredients. Would definitely recommend enjoying with a group of 4 or more as it rounds up cheaper We were a group of 4, everything we ordered was shown in the photos. It was the perfect amount, and £23.75 per person.

menu is rich but shockingly only take cash payment in 2022.

This is the first time I am trying a Chinese Hotpot. Beef and chicken are Halal here. The atmosphere and service are very good. The food is fresh and the quality of the meat is very good. I enjoyed it.

Really fun and really yummy!! Favourite dining experience in Leeds 👨‍🎤👨‍🎤👨‍🎤

Really good food lots to pick from. Don't be a hero! if its your first time eating at a Chinese hot pot wear the paper apron they give you!

Ciekawe doświadczenie, bardzo pomocna obsługa, jedzenie dobre / bardzo dobre, ale zaskoczyła nas na końcu informacja, że płatność tylko gotówką.

They have really friendly staff and will help you if needed ,it's honestly the best dinning center i have been to!🤭☺️

Wow what an amazing experience we didn't have a clue what we were doing so the staff helped us they were really kind and helpful And we're all going again ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank God authentic Hotpot has finally made it to Leeds! Recently visited and had an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. Very easy to find by just walking upstairs from the back of the grocery store on the ground floor. The wait staff were all very helpful with ordering and menu questions. Highly recommend getting a mixed pot of broth so that you can try something savory and something spicy! The Sichuan Spice Pot (medium) gave a zesty spicy flavor I've been craving for months now, and the tomato ox-tail base recommended by the staff was divine! The 1 Meter Long Sliced Beef was awesome between presentation and taste. Very good mushrooms, black fungus, bean-curd stick, and bean-curd skin. Portion size was fantastic. Make sure to bring cash as they are cash only for right now. We will be back again very soon!

Amazing service, friendly staff. Food was delicious.

Visited here for the first time when we visited family in Leeds and it was delicious! Staff were friendly, polite and explained how it worked to us. We are already wishing we had one like this down by us in South Wales; as the shop underneath it is excellent as-well. The shop underneath do the best bubble tea (think we will be visiting our family in Leeds a lot more to be able to come visit this place ) Thank you to all the staff present during our visit for the delicious food!

하이디라오st 훠궈. 맛있었어요! 근데 마지막에 현금으로 계산하라 합니다..

A fun way to celebrate a birthday. 6 was slightly too many to accommodate round the table. The only downside was being asked to pay in cash at the end. It left a bad taste in my mouth. HMRC should do an audit.

I cannot understand why this place wasn't busy! Staff were very accomodating and even brought my wife a fork. A fantasticly authentic experience

Amazing! 10/10 came for fathers day and we loved it! Staff were so lovely. Food was so incredible

really nice food and building! the only thing is one of the staff was really pushy when we were choosing what to order, he was almost not taking a no when he was marking down food for us to order which made me feel really disappointed, but overall a nice experience
