Review Xiao Long Kan Hotpot - Albany

Great place, the broths available were great. Beware, the chili scale is actually how many cups of chilli's in the broth you want not the spice level. Overall the food was good, and the place was well presented.

The food was great and the experience was very memorable on a cold winter night with friends and family! The interior is very well presented and as soon as you walk in the steam from the boiling pots greet you with an added aroma of all the nice ingredients. You can make your own sauce as well using some trays which was a fun thing in the side but some of the ingredients were either incorrectly labelled or had nothing on them all together. One BIG negative was that the QR digital menu was only in Chinese and the staff were too busy to explain everything do I am guessing the owners are only targetting a particular demographic... Fortunately we had Cantonese/Mandarin speaking friends with us so we didn't just guess! I saw MSG in the flesh for the first time which was interesting too (check out the pics). BTW the floors appear slippery because of all the condensation so make sure you wear something that's slip resistant. We had reservations and there was no waiting line anyway do we went straight to table. It started pretty civilized & clean as the table was spotless but it quickly looked like a war zone as hot pot is VERY messy so don't show up in white clothes 🤣

This is one of the best Sichuan style hotpot restaurants in Auckland I have ever tried! Highly recommend it to those who are craving spicy hotpot and fresh items indeed ! We ordered little spicy and it's enough for us haha. We enjoyed the beef strip and pig brain especially and they are really fresh! They accept wechat pay and alipay as well. Will come again

Best Hot-Pot in Town! Easy parking, Fantasy taste, Cozy environment, Kindly staff! And Price Worthy with big volume on each plate!

We entered the restaurant at lunch time while there was no other ppl. And the lady was really nice and friendly. Her service is great. She is a professional really. The atmosphere was great too.

Very nice hotpot, spicy and smells so good. Deco is pretty traditional. Food wise is really good. Quite expensive.

The most authentic hot pot restaurant outside of China I have been to, absolutely delicious and amazing service.

Amazing food, awesome service. You can choose to have all three broth bases so there’s something for everyone. The spicy broth is really hot so start at level 1! Highly recommend the rice cake for dessert. Thanks Alex for the recommendation of dipping sauce mix!

This was the most stunning & authentic hot pot I’ve had outside of China. From the minute we walked in we felt like we were back in Guangzhou with the smell of flavor and decor to match. Food was absolutely superb and the staff extremely friendly and helpful. We will be back!!!!

Omgness the best hot pot I've been to. The decor was really cool, the restaurant was super clean and tidy. Most importantly food was delicious. Service was amazing, very good recommendations. The famous dessert was so delicious as well, sorry can't remember what it was called.

AMAZING food! First time having hotpot and the staff could not have been friendlier helping us with the menu. Such a great range of choices for meat and a huge selection of food to choose from. Well priced and worth travelling for. We will definitely be coming back. DELICIOUS!

Fantastic restaurant. The best hot pot experience we have had in Auckland. The decor makes you feel like you are dining in a restaurant in Asia. The team were extremely hospitable. One of the staff (possibly the manager) explained items to us and helped us select the best items on the menu. He also mixed the sauces for us, which tasted amazing. The rice cake is a must try!! A great dessert to finish off our meal. Thank you for a great experience, we will definitely be back for more.

Nothing to complain. Service was perfect and friendly although she looked super busy. The food was fresh and the soup was flavorful. We ordered medium spicy and it was perfect. The sweet rice cake was impressively delicious. Recommend to try the bamboo shoots as well :)

Was an amazing experience our host was super helpful in recommending the flavors that work with the meal, Food recommendations. It was My first time so was a beautiful experience!! And the venue super authentic and George's I don't think pictures would do it justice. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Situated just outside the center of Albany, this restaurant offers some seriously good hotpot food that's value for money. The prices are very reasonable, the hotpot mix is rich and delicious and I absolutely love the staff there. I highly recommend visiting this place

Man! This Chinese hot-pot restaurant is soooo good! As soon as you walk in on a bitter cold day, you are greeted by the warm aroma of 20 (at least) hot pots cooking! The staff were so hospitable to me and my kids! They even offered a free plate of noodles for each of my kids!!! Very recommended.

The manager was very polite and explained in detail for us how the hotpot works and how to order. The food was amazing, we loved it. It's everything I remember having when I was in China.
