10 Best Hotpot & Steamboat Restaurants in Singapore (2026) — Haidilao, Beauty in The Pot & More

The undisputed service king. Free manicure / shoeshine / phone-charging stations while waiting. Live noodle-pulling table-side performance. 7 soup bases (Mala, Tomato, Mushroom, etc.) and a sauce bar with 30+ options. Per-pax around S$50–70 for an average meal. Multiple outlets — VivoCity, Plaza Singapura, Clarke Quay, Tampines, Jurong East. Reservations via Haidilao app — opens 30 days in advance.

Wellness-meets-indulgence concept. The signature Beauty Collagen Broth has a creamy, velvety texture that coats every ingredient — genuinely transformative for the meat-fat experience. 8 soup bases including Spicy Nourishing, Cooling Coconut, Pork Bone, and the Beauty Collagen. Outlets in Orchard, HarbourFront (VivoCity), Serangoon, and Bedok. Per-pax around S$45–60. Reservations via Chope.

For Sichuan-spice purists. Tang Pin specialises in proper mala (numb-spicy) broths sourced direct from Chongqing — the ma (numbing peppercorn) is dialled up to 'unforgettable'. Premium house-marinated meats and high-end side dishes (lambs' brain, eel rice cakes). Pricier at S$70–100/pax. Marina Square outlet recommended. Best for diners who find Haidilao's mala 'too tame'.

Hotel-grade Cantonese-style steamboat. Premium broths, wagyu, prawns, abalone, and live seafood — the side-dish lineup alone competes with mid-tier sit-down restaurants. Around S$80–120/pax depending on premium add-ons. Outlets at ION Orchard, Great World, Westgate. Best for special occasions or when you actually want to eat well rather than 'just hotpot'.

MUIS-certified halal Korean hotpot/BBQ buffet — Singapore's biggest halal hotpot chain. Locations in Woodlands, Clementi, Tampines. 60+ items including marinated bulgogi, samgyeopsal substitute (halal beef), kimchi pancakes, and free-flow soft drinks. Lunch buffet ~S$30/pax, dinner S$40/pax. Best mid-tier halal hotpot in Singapore. Walk-in friendly off peak.

Thai-style charcoal hotpot — half grill (top), half soup (around the dome). Sembawang Mookata strip is the legendary outdoor row, Bedok 85 has its own version. Around S$25–35/pax for a generous spread. The smoky char on the meat is the killer — you get a flavour you simply can't replicate at gas-stove hotpots. BYOB allowed at most outdoor outlets. Best for groups who want a casual, sweaty, beer-and-meat night.

Casual Japanese-style shabu-shabu buffet. Pork, beef, chicken — different tiers (Pork Set ~S$25/pax, Standard ~S$32/pax, Premium with US Beef ~S$45/pax). 90-minute time limit (relaxed off-peak). Multiple mall outlets including Plaza Singapura, JCube, Bedok Mall. Best for: solo hotpot eaters and budget-conscious groups. Walk-in friendly.

Crystal Jade's hotpot arm — same kitchen pedigree as their other restaurants (Crystal Jade Golden Palace held a Michelin star 2016–2018). Cantonese-style clear broths, premium seafood add-ons, and high-end side dishes. Around S$60–90/pax. Outlets at Holland Village, ION, Suntec. Best for diners who want hotpot as the main event in a fancier sit-down setting.

Japanese all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu buffet, similar concept to Suki-Ya but slightly different meat selections. Around S$28–40/pax depending on tier. Strong on the dessert station (free-flow Movenpick ice cream included). Outlets at JEM, Bugis Junction, Tampines 1, AMK Hub. Best for: families with kids who want unlimited but predictable spending.

Haidilao's takeaway-and-delivery service. Pre-portioned hotpot kits delivered to your door — broth, meats, vegetables, dipping sauces. Around S$80 for 2 pax. The kit includes a portable induction cooker rental for free with delivery. Best for: families who want hotpot at home without the hassle, or condo dwellers whose kitchen lacks a gas stove. Order via the Haidilao app.
