Heart-Warming Hot Pots -- iPot Mini Pot Expert

As its name suggests, iPot serves a Taiwanese-style mini hot pot buffet. Each customer receives his or her own little pot of soup for cooking the ingredients of their choice, making it a relaxing and hygienic way to enjoy hot pot meals. Even customers coming alone can still enjoy a wide variety of food!

The customers can freely choose their own favourites at the fridges. In addition to its selection of meat and seafood, the restaurant’s buffet offers unlimited servings of over 50 hot pot toppings, as well as fresh vegetables such as lotus roots, eggplants, bean sprouts and various mushrooms.




The restaurant places great emphasis on its soup bases and offers many choices, e.g. tomato soup, mixed vegetable soup, Hokkaido milky soup, and striped tuna (Oceanic bonito) soup. Its soups are made of fresh ingredients and prepared with less oil and salt than the traditional ones. All the soups at iPot have a rich and savoury flavour. Its servers regularly refill customers’ pots with broth to maintain the savour of the soup base.

Many people bear a “beat the buffet” mentality when patronising a buffet restaurant, but this often results in considerable food waste. Steven, the Head Chef at iPot, strives to offer quality buffet options “regardless of cost”, such as premium Angus beef, and other ingredients and beverages imported from Taiwan, etc. “Hong Kong restaurant goers have pretty sensitive palates,” he added, “so we need to stay attuned to their tastes to keep them coming back and avoiding food waste.”

Tables at iPot are so well arranged that customers always have sufficient room to browse the buffet. Its interior design ensures that customers can chit chat freely without disturbing others. To enhance convenience and avoid the risk of tipping over, all its stoves were installed under table surface. Steven and other staff are always happy to chat with customers. Indeed, the homely and welcoming atmosphere of iPot is exactly what you would expect from a small family-run restaurant in Taiwan!
