Shu xiang ge hot pot in City of London, Westminster

Hot Pot was a first for me. We tried the spicy beef tallow red oil pot, let me say that even if you choose the less spicy option, this is not for the faint of heart. Luckily the waiter warned us (not enough, but he did) and we choose a mix of this and mushroom stock. Overall, it was not bad, but found this expensive for what we ate. Maybe hot pots are not for me...

The Bamboo Piper Shrimp is delicious and a must-try

Rude staff and unbelievable food...

The restaurant doesn't look like much but the experience is top notch. The opportunity to try the melted Chinese “hot pot” but much more varied than what you find in France…. you're lost at first but the waiter advises you very well... you choose your "pot" hot container in 3 compartments to cook meat, seafood and vegetables and then a huge choice of raw foods to cook. Be careful, the establishment closes early (well for us Latin people) and by coming early you will be able to taste several portions…

Super good hotpot restaurant in China town! We love spicy beef tallow red oil pot with extra hot! You can choose mixed pot as well! Bamboo fungus with prawn mash is one of my favorites!

Defo will visit again! Lots of choices for hotpot including spicy beef, pork bone, mushroom, tomato. They also have dim sum, Dan Dan noodles and other street food. The chief is from Sichuan, China. Very nice and traditional Chinese food in Chinatown! Highly recommended

The taste is very fresh and genuine.

Garbage, the kitchen is so dirty

Best hotpot I had in London. Amazing beef and it’s super delicious!

Delicious 🍲 hot pot very authentic hot pot sauce and fresh fruit buffet!

Very authentic Sichuan hotpot. I loved the sauce and ox tongue.

The portion was sooooooooooo small.

I didn't have a good experience at this hot pot place. The broth was tasteless. The meat didn't taste fresh. The place was a bit dirty. The dishes and the sauce station were very dirty. We fell rushed there. On multiple occasions, the server was waiting for us to finish putting ingredients in the hot pot, and once he ever asked if we were going to put the meat in soon. It was quite overpriced for quality and experience. I can't recommend this place.

Everything's all right. Hot pot in a very pleasant atmosphere. Nice service and good quality food. Clean and warm inside.

It’s a really authentic hotpot restaurant! Loving it! Definitely will come again!

Taste really good! I love the fried gold bread, it’s crispy! And also the hotpot is spicy😋😋😋

It’s such a blessing to have hot pot in London! We ordered three types of broth: tomato, bone broth, and mild spicy. Vegetables cooked in the bone broth were absolutely delicious. The shrimp paste was a bit fishy, so it might taste better in the tomato or spicy broth. We were lucky to catch a discount promotion—50% off! The total for two people was around £80.

Very good hot pot chioce in china town!The spicy soup base was spicy better choose less spicy one,also free fruit and snacks were quite nice.

Amazing hot pot experience! The ingredients were incredibly fresh, and the broth was packed with flavor. The wide variety of meats, vegetables, and dipping sauces made every bite unique and delicious. The staff was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend for a fun and tasty meal with friends or family!

Absolutely delicious! The hot pot here is a must-try. The soup bases were rich and flavorful, and the quality of the ingredients was top-notch. Everything was perfectly prepared, and the service was excellent. Whether you’re a hot pot lover or new to it, this place will not disappoint!

Disgusting!!!! THERE WAS HAIR IN THE BROTH AND IN FRIED RICE!!!!!

I went to Chinatown intending to have some hotpot, so I chose Shu Xiang Ge. After the dishes started coming out, I first took a bite of the fried rice. When I was about to scoop up a second bite with my spoon, I found a short hair in the rice, and it was even slightly curled. As soon as I discovered the first hair, I immediately told the server. Their response was quite quick—they took my bowl of fried rice away as soon as they heard about the hair, so I didn’t even have time to take a photo as evidence. Then came the second hair, which was even worse. It came out of the hotpot broth—a long strand of female hair, all tangled up. The server came and replaced the broth, and they also replenished the ingredients that had already been put into the pot. The two hairs were found within five minutes of each other, and by that point, I had already lost most of my appetite. However, since the staff’s attitude was acceptable, I decided to continue eating. But even so, the server never came to refill the soup for the rest of the meal. Also, the beef slices I ordered this afternoon were falling apart into small pieces once cooked. I have no idea what kind of meat they were using, and I didn’t dare ask. The overall experience was terrible. I’ve been there twice before, and my impressions were pretty good both times. This time, though, it was a complete disappointment.

Very tasty, a hotpot restaurant that has been open for many years. I was brought to Chinatown by my schoolmates to eat this hot pot. It's delicious! The ingredients are fresh!

Fine dining experience.Meals are very reasonably priced for Chinatown. The tomato flavored hot pot was delicious. The Nine Palace Hot Pot was very unique.

The food was delicious, the service was excellent!! If you are looking for a place to eat in Chinatown this is the perfect one!

Super delicious hot pot!!! Highly recommend if you dont know what to eat in Chinatown

Went there for hotpot when they had a promotion last week. The food was not bad. Service was good enough. The restaurant was tidy and clean. Have to be honest, I am not sure if I would go there when they don’t have promotions. But in general, I did enjoy the hotpot.

Taste very good, very good experience of Sichuan Hot Pot. The variety of ingredients was incredible, with fresh vegetables, high-quality meats, and a wide selection of seafood. The broth options were rich and flavorful, especially the spicy one, which had just the right kick.

Absolutely love this hotpot place! Fresh ingredients, flavorful broth, and so many options to choose from🌶️❤️‍🔥

The food is relatively fresh and the quantity is sufficient. However, the lack of smoking facilities may cause more customers to choke on the spicy food or be infected with the smell. Overall, it is still worth trying!

Everything was amazing. Can’t wait to come back!

Amazing spot in china town, best service and best food!!

Very good quality food fast delivery of food to table good service would definitely come back

First hot pot experience with my boyfriend and it was amazing!! Our waitress was so kind and helpful and the price is very reasonable.

very nice and welcoming hotpot restaurant

Fresh ingredients, good service, delicious

The food was very delicious, the service mixed. One very nice girl and another deeply unfriendly.

Very good experience. The food and the staff are very good.

The place have a nice atmosphere and the service are so quick. Food overall are nice i had 3 broth tomato, pork bone, and spicy. all 3 soup are amazing. a lot of diffrent option for the protein and they have a platter including seafood and meat all together. really enjoy the hot pot especially in winter.

Very delicious, great service, first choice in Chinatown

That was the best hot pot we've ever had, However, it was also the first hot pot we ever had. You have to afford it once, It's not cheap. When asked how hot “normal” is, I chose “not very spicy”. For me, even though I actually like spicier food, that was at the upper tolerable limit. It was so well chosen. The tables are a bit small for all the accessories. I would go again 👍🏻

Hatten zum ersten mal mit einem Hotpot zu tun . War eine nette Erfahrung. Das Essen war gut , aber ist keineswegs preiswert.

My favorite hot pot meal in London recently... bar none Eating a hot pot meal in London in winter really makes you feel happy My head hurts from the wind and I want to eat hot pot. Shuxiangge is the first hotpot restaurant in London The authentic Sichuan flavor is delicious 🥓His menu has been upgraded recently. Each table is limited to ordering two plates of lamb for 1💷, which will break your bones! Lamb lovers, keep your eyes peeled, lamb rolls are available for 1 pound! You read that right, it’s 1 pound! 🥘We ordered the mandarin duck pot for the bottom of the pot. I heard that the spicy pot is freshly fried with home-made fried butter. The aroma is so delicious that it will increase your appetite. 🥩Every time I come to Shuxiangge, I order double pepper beef slices and fresh-cut mutton. The meat is so tender and can be eaten in just a few seconds. The aroma is fragrant. I also order a Jiugongge platter, which has nine kinds of cuisines. , if you don’t know what to eat, I suggest you order this~ 🍘I really like their pork buns with mushroom sauce, they have a soft and chewy texture. I never thought that the buns from a hot pot restaurant can be so delicious! 🧃Drinks ordered milkshake and lemon passion fruit 🍋Refreshing, delicious and good at relieving the spiciness ➡️Shu Xiangge Chinatown: 10 Gerrard St, London W1D 5PW

I recently discovered a treasure hot pot restaurant, I really love it! In the cold winter, the most healing thing is a steaming hot pot. The base of the Yuanyang Hotpot is rich in flavor, and the aroma of the spicy hotpot is particularly refreshing, making you feel happy after eating it. Their double pepper beef slices are simply amazing, so tender that you can’t stop eating them! In addition, you must try the pork buns with mushroom sauce. They are soft and chewy, and it feels like the buns have been sublimated. For drinks, I ordered tangerine peel lemon tea, which is just right to relieve greasiness and refreshing, perfect with hot pot! The whole environment is very comfortable, especially suitable for gatherings of friends or small families. Highly recommended!

I went with my friends to this Hot Pot. We really like it. When the spicy red broth arrived at our table, the aroma hit me instantly—warm, fragrant, and full of flavour. It felt like all the cold disappeared in a second. The fresh vegetables were my favourite—so crunchy and refreshing! Their hand-cut lamb and duck blood were also incredibly tender and smooth. As someone originally from Sichuan, I’d like to come back. It was delicious!

Ausome place to have lunch or dinner 🫡

Shuxiangge is my go-to for authentic Sichuan hotpot in London, especially in winter! Their upgraded menu is a steal—£50 for two, £100 for four. The beef tallow broth is rich, and the bone soup is so comforting. Favorites? Fresh lamb slices, red sugar glutinous rice cakes, and spicy tripe. Plus, the new DIY condiment station is super handy. All this for just £30 per person—don’t miss it!

The food there are fresh and that’s the most traditional hot pot in UK. I love the beef and crunchy vegetables and mushroom.Will back again!

Very tasty, the quality of meat is all good and the spicy sauce is really local! I will come back again🤤

Amazing food and service. Highly recommend to try this authentic Chinese hot pot

The service is very good ~ the food is served very quickly and the quality of the food is also good! A hotpot restaurant worth experiencing!

The bottom of the pot is very fragrant, and the special thing is that there is taro, which goes well with the tomato pot 👍

Just finished an amazing dinner!The fresh ingredients made for a delightful experience. Can’t wait to come back for more!

The new menu's Jiugongge Platter is awesome, very cost-effective, and the butter and tomato base is very fragrant! The snacks at the snack table are also very considerate, highly recommended!

Food: I asked my friends who live in London to take me to eat delicious hot pot. The spicy hotpot is so delicious. It’s so delicious that as a vegetarian, it’s hard for me to eat more than one plate of meat 😂😂

Very delicious, the butter pan is so fragrant!

It’s really delicious! Highly recommend that bun! If you like heavy food, you can also try the steamed buns in a spicy pot! It’s really delicious😋

This 8-year-old hot pot restaurant did not disappoint. The double pepper beef slices and fresh-cut lamb were both tender, and the ingredients were fresh and abundant! The taste of the pot base is even better after the upgrade, and the service is also great. I will come again!

If you know your way around Chinese hotpot, you know this place!!

The hotpot here is amazing, all the meat and vegetables are fresh! Definitely have a try here!

The third time coming for hotpot here! I recommend to go with RED OIL soup and BONE soup base. Delicious and Healthy!

Really nice and yummy hotpot place in Chinatown! Definitely recommend it. Our order came really fast and the pork bone soup is the amazing

Lovely hot pot, all very fresh ingredient and the pork bone soup is so nice to have. Also liked the spicy broth, very authentic!

I returned to my country after returning to China countless times! The ingredients are fresh, the portions are generous, and every bite is satisfying. Affordable price and extremely cost-effective. The waiters were enthusiastic and friendly. The location is conveniently located in Chinatown. I had a great time eating!

Very delicious, the meat is very tasty and fresh.

We went here to have a small meal, we decided after looking at the menu not to have hotspot but the noodles on hr menu, the staff were very aggressive, then we waited for 29mim for our food, only for our 30£ food to be over salted noodles cover Ed in chili oil and in tiny portions. Never again, it was so bad I don't even wanna go someplace else to eat something else now

After reading one or two very negative comments, I wanted to share our experience with my son (27 years old) and me. We walked through the doors of this little restaurant in Chinatown without having read these reviews, fortunately... Very pleasant waiters, quick to take our order, try to advise us and explain the menu... Despite the Asian accent mixed with English that we are far from mastering 😂 we trusted the waiter. Asian fondue made from 2 or 3 different broths in which the chosen ingredients must cook, the spiciest one is really mouth-watering 🥵 it was very good, we were at the table next to the cash register, yes they were there watching if we didn't miss anything, to show us how to cook certain things, maybe they didn't care about our lack of culture but whatever 😜 their attitude was polite, they very kind and respectful, value for money is proportionate, I recommend this simple and good little restaurant 👍

the food was so yummy!!!!! i had never had hot pot before so i was kind of scared since im a picky eater, but the boy out front by the menu was so helpful and cute :) and very patient helping me find things i liked and was very kind and i enjoyed my meal so much!!! and even though it was a busy night, i didn’t wait very long, i was getting take away and they let me sit at a table while i waited for my food to be ready, i was very happy. thank you >o<, i was traveling here but next time i come back to london i’ll definitely have to come back :))) <33

First time trying HotPot and it's quite nice but to try it for the first time in this place is a big NO! I'm giving two starts because of the only nice younger male employee. Overprice even though the quality of food is good but they need to improve their service and friendliness... The service is slow and they forgot a few things ( it happens everywhere) and we nicely asked twice about the rice and the noodles we ordered and they kept saying is coming or do you want to order?. I'm not asian so therefore I might not know how certain asian restaurants work or they supply things, so I asked to the manager for napkins and he aggressively pulled the draw of napkins of the table like he was going to take the entire table away. Plus the cashier ignored us when we asked him if everything was alright with change. No smiles whatsoever in this restaurant. Quite of an hostile environment. Do not recommend it!

Delicious hot pot with lots of vegetables and meat

The best Chinese spicy hotpot in Chinatown! Obsessed with all the food here—it's very delicious and fresh! Highly recommend the tomato soup hotpot; the noodles are nice as well.

I absolutely love this place would highly recommend it I was in there yesterday with my mum and friend and the staff are so kind the food is out of this world its so tasty will be back ❤️

Must try hotpot in Chinatown! Buns in hotpot is really new to me but surprisingly good. Can adjust the spicy level so too spicy to eat is not a thing to worry a about:)

Quite simply to flee. The concept of the Hot Pot was not explained to us so we ordered without really knowing what we were getting. We were then placed at the back of the restaurant, where the manager had the wonderful idea of ​​putting on the air conditioning (in November, customers ate in down jackets...). The atmosphere was heavy, particularly because of the waiters who, after we had ordered, walked past us without caring about our situation. We waited 50 minutes for our food (no exaggeration) asking twice if we were going to be served. Finally, we left with very little excuses from the manager. Really lousy experience, but reading the other comments in French, I think I'm not the only one to have had a bad time in this charlatan "restaurant".

I wanted to try a different hotpot experience, so I came here, and it truly impressed me! The hotpot was delicious, and my family and I had a wonderful time. Highly recommend giving it a try!

The tomato hotpot soup here is incredible—so rich, fresh, and full of tomato flavor. The vegetarian platter pairs perfectly, especially the tofu, which soak up the broth. The service is also very great here. Highly recommend!

We had a great experience here! The food was incredible—loved the spicy beef, and the beef tongue was so tender and flavorful. Both the spicy and tomato soup bases were packed with flavor and tasted amazing.

Best hotpot I ever had in London. Will definitely come back again.

As a Brit that lived in china and experienced real Chinese food do not visit this trap. The service was cold cos they wanted to close, I ordered a simple dish, beef and tomato noodles, and received 5 肉片 for those that can't speak Chinese that means 5 slices of frozen cheap cuts of beef normally ordered in large portions for hotpots. Pathetic considering that a pack of around 40 frozen slices of beef costs around £6-8. When I spoke to them in English they tried to speak to my girlfriend in Chinese. When I spoke to them in Chinese explaining that I lived in China previously they realised very quickly that I knew I was being insulted yet they slammed £5 down on my table and didn't even say sorry. Ridiculous service, ridiculous portions.

Poco molesto al asistir a este restaurante. Pocos puntos malos Payoling salsas de abeto para acompañar sus platos @£ 3. 50 es un poco extremo, ya que esto debe ser suministrado con la comida, ya que es solo cosas estándar como salsa de tierra, aceite de chile, etc. El personal no era el más amable de las personas prefieren estar al teléfono que servir allí a los clientes 🙄 También pedimos 1 dúo de ollas de lúpulo y agregaron la sopa equivocada por un lado, así que nos cobran de nuevo por las sopas completas 🍲 que no creo que esto sea justo.

We enjoyed the place and the food although there are really things that could be greatly improved, such as the attention when explaining how these types of recipes work, with language also being a great barrier. The price is a little expensive, although normal in the area perhaps

One of the best places for hotpot in London! I’ve been here many times throughout the years and it never disappoints. Terence the manager is the highlight to my experience, he is always so kind and helpful. Bravo to him and his team, particularly the young lady who helped a table of first time hot potters next to us. She was super sweet and helpful ❤️

Amazing food experience with the most authentic Chinese hotpot restaurant in London!!!

We tried the Dan Dan Noodles and the braised beef noodle soup and they were really good.

Although some dishes were quite spicy, the waiters were lovely, they offered us drinks due to the delay of the dishes (which arrived quite quickly though). Tasty and well-balanced food in a very nice street in China Town!

This is one of the best hotpot places in China Town! As the first hotpot place in London, this place is definitely worth your visit! Their food is super fresh and if you love spicy hotpot, you are in the right place!!! I would recommend having fresh fish, beef sirloin, fish balls and their delicious spicy baozi to go with the hotpot! I love this place and will definitely come back for more!!

Great food! Fresh and delicious 😋. I would definitely recommend going with friends and family.

Really nice authentic Sichuan style hot pot. The food is very fresh. Soup base has very rich flavours.

Will definitely have dinner here again！！The only place in London where you can enjoy a nine-grid hotpot.

That was a really fantastic experience. Wonderful staff 👏 and very delicious food... I wrote about my experience on a Norwegians page and gonna travel again to test this food in London. 💐👌

loved the base and shrimp paste. Portion is a lot bigger comparing to other hotpot shops in london. Pork is better than beef.

Shuxiangge is the most authentic butter hotpot I have ever eaten in London.

Can’t believe that they put food in this container with full of mould. Disgusting🤮

Shu Xiang Ge is a hidden gem that truly captures the essence of authentic cuisine. The ambiance is inviting, making it a perfect spot for both casual dining and special occasions. The menu offers a delightful variety of dishes, each bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. The service is outstanding—staff are attentive and knowledgeable, always ready to recommend their favorites. The highlight for me was the meet ball, which was simply exquisite. Overall, Shu Xiang Ge provides a wonderful dining experience that I can't wait to revisit!

Highly recommended, delicious and hygienic! The Shuxiangge Jiugongge hotpot is a must-try when you come. Seafood and vegetables can be placed in different grids, which can maintain the original flavor of each ingredient. Why don’t you come and try such a conscientious hotpot! If you want to experience spicy food but can’t eat spicy food, remember to order it slightly spicy. The spicy food is very fragrant and friendly!

Best hot pot I have ever had in London. Taste is superb and the staffs were really friendly. They taught us how it works as it was our first time having hotpot and we’ve really enjoyed this experience! Definitely recommending this place to anyone who fancy some Chinese authentic hotpot!!

Definitely my favourite hot pot spot in London. I have been here for so many times with my friends and this one is definitely the top notch! Everyone here is really friendly and the food is amazing. If u wanna have hot pot, this is the place.

i think it’s the best chinese hot pot restaurant over London! me and my friends we had an unforgettable experience with the stuff here and i will never forget the taste for hot pot! define come back next time! !

Very low quality meat. Some of my friends were sick after the meal. The staff was friendly but the food was terrible.

I went out with my friends and the food smelt really weird. At the end we got the bill and they charged us more than what the price was originally. It was 5p more but the waiter just said “it’s 5p more,so?” and he was mocking at us and ended up giving us 5p change. It might sound silly but realistically don’t be over charging your customers, whatever the price is on the menu should be to the final bill, simple as.
