Beyond my expectations!!!! Those hand made items must try like meat ball (especially (lamb), seafood paste. All ingredients ( including sauces table and soup base) are fresh and well prepared. Place ( including ladies’ washroom ) is well designed and clean . The waiters’ service are polite, welcoming and efficient.paying cash will enjoy 5% off discount. Keep some room to enjoy soft ice cream cone and dessert. So yummy! A Must try choice in town. Don’t miss out please

Love that you get an option for individual pots or bigger shared pot. Service was fast and staff were very nice! The quality of the food was great and very fresh. The whole place and the self serve sauce bar was kept tidy and spotless. I got the spiciest level for my soup base and it was ACTUALLY spicy and delicious, unlike most places where it’s just salty and oily. Definitely coming back here!

My absolute favourite hotpot restaurant in Toronto. Feels like a typical 火锅restaurant that I would go to in China. Their soup bases are super flavourful and their service is excellent. They’re especially welcoming and helpful to people who might have not had hotpot before. It was also a great move to add Thai style tomato and seafood soup to the menu. Those flavours go really well with the seafood selection. They also have great beer on tap.

My friends and I went to DAHU Hotpot on January 3rd, 2024. After visiting the Allan Gardens, we headed to Chinatown in search of a good restaurant. DAHU did not disappoint at all - the interior is well-decorated with a vivid orange theme and the price range was also decent (20-30). For reference, we all got our mini hotpots instead of sharing a group one. The soup base I chose had a lovely mala flavour and the lamb meat and noodles went perfectly with the broth!! Staff service was amazing, and one staff (Amber) stood out in particular. This was my first time ever eating at a hotpot restaurant and she was super patient and answered all my questions in regards to the toppings, sauces, etc. Chinatown is filled with a plethora of restaurants which makes it challenging to pick what to eat for lunch/dinner, but DAHU is truly a wonderful option - don’t miss out!

Came here to celebrate my 35th birthday. I was very happy that this restaurant could accommodate my reservation for 13 people! For many of my friends this was their first time trying hot pot and they all liked it! Fast service, lots of menu items including lots of veg options. We also loved that the pitchers of beer are 10! They have a good selection of dipping sauces, salads and desserts. I definitely recommend this place.

This place served AYCE hotpot. Located on Baldwin St near Chinatown. They accept reservations and walk-ins. The atmosphere in the restaurant is bright with modern and comfortable decor. They offer both large share pot and individual pot, we were able to choose our own preferences. The dining room is not big but comfortable. The restaurant is very clean and well maintenance for a hotpot restaurant. The AYCE pricing at 31.99 on weekdays per person with additional soup base charges. The menu includes a variety of other dishes, appetizers, meat, veggies, and desserts. And some of the food items are at additional charge. Overall quality of the ingredients are fresh. The portions are generous and satisfying. They offering a delightful treat to complete our dinner a vanilla ice-cream cone. Perfect to end our meal and leave us truly satisfied! It’s great value for money. The staff are very friendly, attentive and helpful. We had a delightful experience and look forward to returning for more!
