Pearl Hot Pot

Pearl Hot Pot serves individual hot pots which is great for people who want to dine out with others, while sticking to individual dietary restrictions. There's meat, seafood and vegetables on their menu; all of these come in many different combinations. The combo meals include a drink & dessert, and offer exceptionally great value. We had a variety of meat, seafood, and vegetarian combos on our table. The food was delicious. Our young daughter who's a picky eater decided to try the Vegetarian pot like me. Getting her to eat her veggies is often a struggle at home; she ate up nearly everything in her meal at Pearl Hot Pot, and only needed help with a few mushrooms that were left in her pot. I thoroughly enjoyed my Vegetarian pot. My husband was amazed to see me not only eat up everything in my pot, but drink up every last drop of soup as well. The service could have been better, but if I were rating them on the food alone, I'd be giving them 4 stars. For flavor and value, look no further than Pearl Hot Pot Restaurant! Service: Could have been better Parking: Free parking on the street Location: Sperling Ave. @ Kingsway, in South Burnaby

Amazing & affordable hot pot restaurant!! The food was great and the prices were so worth it!! Had one free drink on the side per hot pot combo, we got the fruit tea and the black tea and both were so good!! Definitely should've ordered another before leaving. The prices were so affordable and the portion was just right for me. The free ice cream at the end was perfect as well. We ordered two hot pot combos with mine being $20-ish for beef brisket, which already included a lot of veggies had 1 piece shrimp, some tofu, and just a lot of other veggies in general + an egg, plus the option of either rice/vermicelli/udon, one drink i miss the fruit tea fr, and vanilla ice cream which was a nice dessert to have after a spicy meal. Didn't have any problems at all with the food and atmosphere, though I noticed that they definitely are very short-staffed. The staff and their service was great but it took a while to get seatings despite there being plenty of empty ones though dirty from previous customers. It also took quite a while for us to get our order written down but didn't take long for the hot pot to arrive! though they almost forgot the sauce and egg but not a big deal at all. Overall, the food was great. I definitely recommend if looking for hot pot for a cheap price and great quality!

This was the first time my partner and I have come here. To our surprise, it was a tasty meal and experience that offered a lot for the price of each hot pot combo. Unlike most hot pot places I've been to, Pearl Hot Pot offers individual hotpot that you cook the ingredients yourself the servers control the heat for you. Each combo is served with its respective meat, noodles, a cold drink, and ice cream at the end! The soup base that comes with the combo is pretty plain, but it was the one we chose as it was our first time there; there are other soup bases that you can have for some additional charge. They give you a really tasty dipping sauce that's full of flavour! The service was quick and on point, as the two bustling servers went back and forth serving, cleaning, and controlling the heat possibly more!. I really liked the atmosphere as it felt like some hole-in-the-wall place with its shaded windows and bar-style hot pot counters. We would most likely come back to try the different meats and soup bases again!

It’s fun to have your own pot. Staff there were very friendly. However, owner may needs to hire one more waiters in order to provide better service. Food was fresh. Set meal comes with drink and dessert and the price was pretty good if you don’t order extra. The meal was enough for me, but probably not enough for a guy or teenager. Update: came here for the second time, still love this place.

The waitress was very friendly and helpful. Always checking to see if we needed anything, no pressure to leave at certain time, we ate and chat on this very cold day, the seafood combo hot pot was the perfect choice and all the vegetables make me feel like I was eating so healthy, for lunch it also came with my choice of ice cold green tea in a bubble style cup and to top it off green tea soft ice cream, there are different flavors also! I think I will return soon.

This is the best hot pot place in the Vancouver area! I go at least once a week, all the staff are friendly, food always comes out fast, and it is the best quality food! Also, it is the only hot pot place that I've been to that isn't super oily or greasy which I love, and the sets are filling and super affordable. They also always accommodate for food allergies. If you go I recommend making a reservation as they are usually busy. Overall, I love this place, couldn't recommend it enough!

Their “original broth chicken” is very flavorful , I usually order blade eye combo , ask for extra satay for the sauce it makes a difference. It comes with a drink and also soft serve Oreo is the best . I would recommend making reservations What to do with the egg? I usually soft boiled it at the end of my meal , it changes the soup if u crack it in there midway

This rating is based on take out. A couple of family members chose to order 3 basic combos for a family of 4 dinner. It was just right. See the photo for the basic box that included a great selection of food items. The price also includes the basic soup stock, dipping sauce, and iced green tea. I found the dipping sauce flavourful. The price is based per person and it’s reasonably priced. This saves time chopping and saves money buying all the separate ingredients. The food was fresh. It a no brainer making it a fun and tasty meal. You can also order Pearl’s side dishes or build your own based on your budget and dietary requirements. All you need is a table top burner with a pot to cook your own feast. It suits all types of diets from vegetarians to meat eaters.

We enjoyed very nice individual hotpots here. We got to the restaurant shortly after their 12 pm opening and were directed to sit at the counter seats that were a bit uncomfortable. Oh, there’s some parking at the side of the building. The counter seats and tables quickly got filled. The ingredients were fresh and the regular broth and sauce were delicious. The combo which included a drink and soft-served ice-cream was a great deal. I’d definitely return.

You get individual hotspots around $17-ish for the meat ones, and more expensive for seafood options that comes with a load of vegetables, your choice of meat, a drink, and ice cream at the end. We got to the restaurant around 8PM without reservation, and had to wait for about 45 min to get seated. Highly recommend you reserve ahead of time to avoid the wait! There is free parking at the back of the restaurant. —— Broth: The basic broth is chicken broth, but you can pay $2-3 extra if you want to change up your broth to something fancier. They do offer top-ups for the broths since it does boil off as you eat. Meat: Pretty good, nothing out of the ordinary, you get a good amount for the price and there is also the choice to buy extra. Drink: I got the green tea yogurt and it was delicious! Not too sweet and so perfect to pair with the salty hotpot. Ice cream: There was the choice of oreo or matcha ice cream at the end of your meal. We got one of each, I actually liked the oreo more since it was less sweet and the crumble was good. The matcha is sweeter and the matcha flavour isn’t super strong. Either way, it’s a really nice touch to end the meal with so no complaints.
