Shu Xiangge Ge – The Hot Pot Dining Experience

As the winter nights are still very much upon us, what better way is there to spend your evening than to eat out and indulge yourself at a hot pot restaurant with friends? You can indulge in sizzling Japanese, Korean and Chinese cuisine around a bubbling broth at the center of the table. Throw in some of your favorite ingredients and once cooked you can dip your food into a selection of tasty sauces and share! This dining experience really brings people together whilst chatting and savoring a range of mouth-watering dishes.

London’s first authentic Sichuan hot pot restaurants are based in two locations: the heart of Chinatown and Shepherds Bush London. Each location provides a great culinary experience for a beginner not familiar with ‘hot potting’. The restaurants are authentically Chinese with beautiful décor which provides a glimpse of Ancient China. The restaurant in Chinatown has a stunning hand-painted mural stretching across one wall depicting ‘Along the River During the Qingming Festival’ a remake of one of the most recognisable paintings in the history of Chinese Art. The restaurant has two floors, 110 covers and is perfect for a date night or a catch up with friends. Be sure to book early as both restaurants get extremely busy. Both eateries are well known for their nine-section hot pot, a wide range of spice levels, and ingredients to choose from. The Sichuanese cuisine includes sizzling spicy meat and comforting vegetable broths. Choose from your favourite ingredients including sliced meats, mushrooms, and tofu to cook in the centre of the hot pot-embedded tables and dip into an array of sauces on offer. The restaurant is proudly authentic with details including utensils sourced from the Sichuan province because the owner of Shu Xiangge Ge, Terry Zhao, has a scrupulous eye for detail. This is an unmissable dining experience you won't forget.
