8 Best Hotpot Restaurants in Singapore 2026 — Haidilao, Beauty in The Pot, Suki-Ya, Da Long Yi & More

Beauty in The Pot (Paradise Group) is the 'beauty broth' phenomenon — built its name on the golden collagen + bone broth that became Instagram-famous for its '美颜养生' (skin-glow + wellness) positioning. Outlets at Marina Bay Sands, Suntec City, VivoCity, Hillion Mall + more. SIGNATURE BROTHS: the Beauty Collagen Broth (rich, milky, collagen-heavy — the hero), Spicy Nourishing Broth (numbing mala but with a herbal-tonic base), Bamboo Pith & Mushroom Broth (clear, healthy). Most tables order the 2- or 4-section split pot to mix broths. WHAT TO ORDER: the handmade meatballs (signature, springy), premium beef + pork slices, fresh seafood platters, house-made dumplings, and the collagen-boosting add-ons. SETTING: polished mall-restaurant ambiance, date-friendly + group-friendly, more refined than the AYCE buffets. PRICING: a la carte, ~S$55-90/pax depending on premium-meat + seafood orders + drinks. RESERVATIONS: book 5-14 days ahead weekend dinner via the Paradise Group app / Chope — MBS + Suntec outlets are the busiest. BEST FOR: dates, girls'-night-out (the beauty-broth angle), family celebrations, diners wanting quality + ambiance over all-you-can-eat volume. NOT IDEAL FOR: budget-focused groups (AYCE buffets are cheaper), big-volume eaters (a la carte premium adds up), spice purists wanting pure Chongqing mala (Da Long Yi is more authentic).

JPOT is the hotpot concept from Jumbo Group (the chilli-crab heavyweight) — a refined a la carte steamboat experience with the quality-seafood sourcing Jumbo is known for. Outlets at Riverside Point, Jewel Changi, Great World, IMM + more. SIGNATURE BROTHS: the Pork Bone Broth (collagen-rich, slow-simmered), Tom Yum Broth (Thai-style, punchy), Superior Chicken Broth (clear, comforting), and a Spicy Mala option — split-pot available. WHAT TO ORDER: the fresh seafood (Jumbo's strength — prawns, scallops, fish slices, clams), handmade fish + prawn paste, premium beef, and the signature house dumplings. SETTING: comfortable family-restaurant ambiance, the Jewel + Riverside Point outlets have the best views (riverside / Jewel waterfall vibes). PRICING: a la carte, ~S$50-85/pax with seafood + premium meats + drinks. RESERVATIONS: book 5-10 days ahead weekend dinner via Jumbo's app / Chope; Jewel Changi gets tourist-busy on weekends. BEST FOR: family dinners (multi-generation friendly), seafood-focused hotpot lovers, diners wanting Jumbo-quality ingredients in steamboat form, groups celebrating a milestone. NOT IDEAL FOR: budget AYCE seekers, mala-purists (the spicy broth is milder than Da Long Yi), solo diners (better for groups sharing the pot).

Haidilao is the service-legend hotpot chain — the global brand that made hospitality theatre its trademark. Outlets islandwide (Clarke Quay, Marina Square, Plaza Singapura, VivoCity, Bedok Mall, suburban malls), many open till very late (some near-24-hour). THE SERVICE: this is the draw — the hand-pulled noodle dance performed tableside, free manicures while you wait, hot-towel + spectacles-cleaning service, complimentary snacks + fruit while queuing, and over-the-top birthday celebrations (the staff WILL sing). BROTHS: split-pot up to 4 sections — the Mala (spicy Sichuan), Tomato, Mushroom, and Clear broths are the staples; the mala is solidly spicy but accessible. WHAT TO ORDER: the signature hand-pulled noodles (order it for the tableside show), prime beef + lamb rolls, handmade shrimp paste, and build-your-own dipping sauce from the free sauce bar (the secret weapon — Haidilao's sauce station is legendary). PRICING: a la carte, ~S$45-75/pax. RESERVATIONS: book via the Haidilao app (the queue system is app-based) — weekend evenings 6-9pm hit 60-120 min waits; the app lets you join the queue remotely. BEST FOR: groups + families (kids love the service theatre), birthdays (the celebration is a whole event), late-night cravings (long hours), first-time hotpot diners wanting the full experience. NOT IDEAL FOR: quiet intimate dates (it's lively + service-interrupted), mala purists (Da Long Yi is more authentically numbing), budget AYCE seekers.

Da Long Yi (大龙燚) is the spice-purist's pick — an authentic Chongqing-style mala hotpot chain that imports the real-deal numbing experience, not the toned-down SG-friendly version. Outlets at Tanjong Pagar, Chinatown, Bugis + more. THE BROTH: the signature nine-grid (九宫格) beef-tallow mala broth — a deeply numbing, oil-based Sichuan broth loaded with dried chilies, Sichuan peppercorns (huajiao for the má numbness), and aromatics. The nine-grid design lets you cook different ingredients at different heat zones. Non-spicy broths (tomato, bone) available for split-pot if not everyone can handle the heat. WHAT TO ORDER: tripe + offal (the authentic mala move — beef tripe, duck intestine, blood curd), beef slices, luncheon meat, potato + lotus root to soak up the spicy oil, and the brown-sugar glutinous rice cakes to cool down after. SETTING: lively, authentic, Sichuan-decor, draws a crowd that knows its mala. PRICING: a la carte, ~S$45-70/pax. RESERVATIONS: book 3-7 days ahead weekend dinner via Chope; Tanjong Pagar + Chinatown busiest. BEST FOR: spice-chasers + mala addicts, diners wanting authentic Chongqing numbing (not the diluted version), groups who can handle heat, offal + tripe enthusiasts. NOT IDEAL FOR: spice-averse diners (even the 'medium' is genuinely numbing), young kids, anyone wanting the service-theatre of Haidilao (Da Long Yi is about the broth, not the show).

Imperial Treasure Steamboat is the premium-Chinese-restaurant take on hotpot — from the Imperial Treasure group known for refined Cantonese + Teochew dining, this is steamboat with restaurant-grade ingredients + service. Outlets at Great World, ION Orchard + select malls. THE APPROACH: less spectacle, more quality — superior stock broths (a slow-simmered superior chicken/pork broth is the signature, alongside a spicy option), premium meat cuts, and fresh seafood at a quality tier above the casual chains. WHAT TO ORDER: the premium sliced beef + pork, fresh prawns + scallops + sliced fish, handmade meatballs + dumplings, and seasonal vegetables; the superior broth becomes an excellent soup by the end of the meal. SETTING: refined, comfortable, suited to family gatherings + business-adjacent dinners + multi-generation meals where parents/grandparents appreciate the quality + calmer ambiance. PRICING: a la carte, ~S$55-80/pax. RESERVATIONS: book 5-10 days ahead weekend dinner via Chope / restaurant; popular for family celebrations. BEST FOR: multi-generation family dinners, diners who prefer quality + calm over spectacle + spice, those wanting a premium steamboat without the buzz of Haidilao, occasions where you're treating parents/elders. NOT IDEAL FOR: budget AYCE seekers, spice-chasers (the mala is restrained), groups wanting the lively service-show experience.

Suki-Ya is the AYCE Japanese shabu-shabu + sukiyaki buffet default — the family-value pick with outlets at Plaza Singapura, 313@Somerset, Tampines, Suntec + more. FORMAT: all-you-can-eat individual or shared pots, with 4 broth choices — Sukiyaki (sweet soy), Kombu (clear Japanese seaweed), Collagen (milky, rich), and Spicy Miso. PRICING: ~S$28 weekday lunch / ~S$38 dinner (adult), with premium beef tiers a few dollars more; kids + senior pricing available. TIME LIMIT: ~90 min. WHAT YOU GET: unlimited sliced pork, beef, chicken, a vegetable + tofu + noodle bar, fish balls + processed items, dipping sauces (ponzu + sesame), and rice. The quality is solid mid-tier — not premium wagyu, but consistent and great value. SETTING: bright, family-friendly mall restaurant, individual-pot options mean everyone controls their own broth (great for mixed spice tolerances). KIDS: family-friendly pricing + individual pots make it easy with children. BEST FOR: families (value + individual pots), groups with mixed spice preferences, budget-conscious AYCE seekers, weekday-lunch value diners. NOT IDEAL FOR: premium-quality seekers (it's value-tier meat), date-night ambiance (it's a casual buffet), mala purists (the spicy miso is mild).

Shabu Sai is the budget-friendly AYCE shabu-shabu mall staple — one of the most affordable all-you-can-eat hotpot options in SG, with outlets in suburban + central malls (Jurong Point, Causeway Point, Hougang, Bugis + more). FORMAT: AYCE shabu-shabu with individual pots, broth choices (typically a Japanese kombu/shabu base + a spicy option), and a self-serve vegetable + tofu + noodle + sauce bar. PRICING: among the cheapest AYCE hotpot — ~S$25 weekday lunch / ~S$33 dinner (adult), with kids' pricing; weekday lunch is the best value. TIME LIMIT: ~90 min. WHAT YOU GET: unlimited pork + chicken + beef slices (value-tier but unlimited), the salad + vegetable + dessert bar, soft-serve ice cream at most outlets (the kid-pleaser). QUALITY: this is the budget end — meat is thin value-tier slices, not premium — but the price-to-fill ratio is unbeatable for families + students. SETTING: casual, no-frills, neighbourhood-mall family crowd. BEST FOR: students + budget diners, families wanting cheap AYCE volume, weekday-lunch value, casual catch-ups where price matters more than premium quality. NOT IDEAL FOR: quality-focused diners (it's the value end of the spectrum), date nights, premium-meat seekers (step up to Suki-Ya or a la carte spots).

Seoul Garden is the nostalgic AYCE Korean BBQ + steamboat combo — the long-running buffet chain that lets you grill AND steamboat at the same table on a combination grill-pot, a format that's been a SG group-feast staple for decades. Outlets at suburban + central malls (Bugis Junction, Tampines, Jurong, Northpoint + more). FORMAT: AYCE buffet where each table gets a grill-with-surrounding-moat-broth setup — grill marinated meats on top while the broth simmers around it. PRICING: ~S$33-42/pax depending on lunch/dinner + weekday/weekend, with kids' pricing. TIME LIMIT: ~90-120 min. WHAT YOU GET: unlimited marinated BBQ meats (bulgogi-style beef, chicken, pork), steamboat ingredients (fish balls, vegetables, tofu, noodles), a self-serve marinade + sauce bar, and the signature Seoul Garden seasoning. The grill-and-steamboat combo is the appeal — you're not choosing between BBQ and hotpot, you get both. SETTING: lively, casual, group-oriented, nostalgic for many Singaporeans who grew up with Seoul Garden birthdays. BEST FOR: groups + families wanting BBQ + steamboat in one, nostalgic diners, birthday gatherings, students + value-seekers wanting variety. NOT IDEAL FOR: premium-quality seekers (it's value-tier AYCE), intimate dates, those wanting authentic single-focus hotpot (the combo format is jack-of-both-trades).
