Great food at affordable price. The staff tells you everything you need to know. You can select from different broths and the food items are diverse. Even when we were only 3 people in the restaurant good ingredientes still came out. Will come again 10/10

Really attentive and kind waitress and chef. Came here with three generations of family, old and young, and the hot pot experience managed to captivate them all. At home we were more used to a shared pot so the individual pot was novel and fun. A really clean restaurant with many free sauce and condiments to choose from. The food selection on the conveyor belt and to order was fresh and varied. The meat arrived on plates as cargo on a train on the second level of the conveyor belt. Was a super fun and cute way of delivering food that delighted the whole family! Dessert fruit and ice cream was also a touch. Definitely recommend and will come back here next time I’m in the city!

So yummy, as a student we got all you can eat (meat included) + a drink for £24 mid day saturday. Such a good deal!! They have a great selection of food for hotpot and BBQ. Staff were very friendly and helpful, even has a nice sauce made for me to try with my food. Apparently it's £28 for a student in the evening or £28 mid day for non student. Will definitely be back

Went to this place as I had seen the reviews. We went on a Friday afternoon and although we were the only two guests the server was amazing. They explained how it worked since it was our first time and they didn’t hold back on the food that came round considering it was just us in there. We had the lunch time special and it was really great. I will be back again.

My brother (a frequent visitor) took me to Yummy Pot after raving about it for months! My expectations were high. It did not disappoint! The service was brilliant!! We were made to feel really welcome by Helen, the owner. The flavour of the hot pot (I had the medium spicy) was soooo good! I loved the novelty of cooking it yourself in either the pot or on a small hot plate. All condiments and garnishes are provided too to make your foot extra tasty. Everything was so authentic. I lived in China for 2.5 years and the flavours took me back to being there! Thank you for this! I’m veggie, which isn’t typically catered to in Chinese cooking, but there were loads of different things I could have, woodear mushrooms, tofu, beancurd in different forms, noodles, bok choi, Chinese leaf, potato, spring rolls and much more! And Helen said with advance warning she could prepare some more for me! So kind! I’m already looking forward to going back.
