Hot pot in Chatswood: from Haidilao to shabu shabu

Chatswood’s hot pot options range from Haidilao on Level 6 of Westfield Chatswood and Chongqing-style Memory Tongue at the Chatswood Interchange, to Japanese shabu shabu at Hanasuki on Anderson St and all-you-can-eat at Soup Zen on Victoria Ave. The appeal is partly in the food itself, but also in the ritual: choose your broth, order a spread of meats, seafood and vegetables, then cook everything at the table as you go.

Memory Tongue: Chongqing heat

Memory Tongue Hotpot focuses on bold, aromatic broths and the communal style of dining that makes hotpot popular. Diners can cook a selection of meats, seafood, vegetables, tofu and noodles at the table, with the broth providing much of the flavour throughout the meal. The restaurant is particularly suited to groups looking for a more traditional Chinese hotpot experience, where the meal unfolds gradually around the shared pot. With its focus on spicy and flavourful broths, Memory Tongue is one of the options to consider when exploring hotpot in Chatswood. You'll find it on the podium level of the Chatswood Interchange, above the station.

Hanasuki: Japanese shabu shabu

Hanasuki specialises in shabu-shabu, with diners cooking thinly sliced meats, seafood and vegetables in simmering broth at the table. The lighter style of broth and individual cooking format offer a different experience from the communal Chinese hotpot restaurants found elsewhere in Chatswood. For diners exploring hot pot in Chatswood, Hanasuki provides an option that sits closer to Japanese shabu-shabu than traditional Sichuan or Cantonese hotpot. The focus is on fresh ingredients, dipping sauces and the interactive nature of cooking your meal at the table.
