雄柒Xiong Qi hot pot Southampton

My first hotpot experience and it was truly amazing as a newcomer!Thankfully we came with some friends who were accustomed to using hotpot and they ordered for our table accordingly. The broth itself was extremely flavourful, not too spicy. We had an array of meats, seafood and vegetables which seemed very fresh and cooked well in the broth.The staff were so friendly and welcoming too!The only complaint would be that the way to make your sauce isn’t so easy. Our friends said it’s not convenient this way and a station would be better.The price for everything we got was very reasonable too!All in all, this was a great first experience and I would definitely come back! Will be having hotpot again in the future!

This is an EXPERIENCE! I had such a special time here, delicious food and a real novelty to cook your own food in the delicious waters! They really look after you, so you are told exactly how to participate. A real treat to have on portswood Road!

Superb hotpot experience! 5 stars indeed. Will definitely recommend it, and make sure to come back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Firstly staff were so friendly and helpful today, really helped to make our first hot pot experience enjoyable! Gave us a very helpful guide to ordering the hotpot and offered us forks when they saw us struggling with the chopsticks.The food was mostly delicious - we ordered the beef rolls, chicken thigh, knotted kelp, rice, noodles and meatballs. The golden chicken broth was definitely our fav.Would NOT recommend the chicken thighs as we put some in right at the beginning and very quickly realised that they would take a long time to cook so added the rest. By the end of our hour and a half (maybe longer) meal, most chicken pieces were still very pink and we did not feel comfortable eating them so they were a bit of a waste. However, the rest of the food was very nice - definitely recommend the hand pulled noodles, fried rice and beef rolls as they were our personal favs.Would definitely love to come back and try new things on the menu!

The best hot pot in town. Excellent selection of dishes and sauces. Can’t get anymore authentic than this.

What an absolute pleasure to dine and experience a different adventure of food here.Did not really know what we were going to expect but the staff were wondeful, friendly and polite. Prices are fair for portion size. Expect a group of 4 to cost about £100 plus drinks.I would definitely recommend going with a date for a unique memory and some fun with food.Chairs could be slightly more comfortable and that's about the only criticism if at all.Great for people of all diets and appetites.

The food is delicious and had been every time we visit. Ate and ate until we could burst. Recommend the crispy prawn balls that come on the little tree, the crispy pork belly, deep fried sweet bean curd, any of the bed and the hand pulled noodles. We did have a few items missing from our order we had to prompt the staff we were still waiting for a few times so make sure you pay attention. The seats and tables are uncomfortable but worth putting up with for the food.

It's a departure from the usual restaurant setup and truly sets this place apart.As you're given the chance to cook the raw meats to your liking, you're essentially becoming a chef for the evening.

Whether you're a fan of bold flavors or prefer a more subtle taste, you're in control of how your dish turns out.The thrill of watching your creation evolve from raw ingredients to a mouthwatering masterpiece is an experience to savor. It brings a new level of engagement to the dining process and fosters a deeper appreciation for the art of cooking.This innovative twist on traditional Chinese cuisine is an absolute delight. The combination of interactive cooking, the freedom to customize your dish, and the opportunity to explore different flavors makes for a memorable and enjoyable outing.
