Quick info
About Crown Chinese Hotpot
Crown Chinese Hotpot sits on the first floor above a supermarket in Leeds, and reaching it means walking through the shop downstairs first. The kitchen runs both hotpot and a la carte Chinese cooking, with an all-you-can-eat option covering hotpot bases such as Sichuan spice and pork bone, alongside a dipping sauce section for building individual bowls. The a la carte side includes deep fried aubergine in light batter with sweet and spicy sauce and deep fried pigs intestines. For first-time diners, staff bring the pots to the table and demonstrate the cooking process before leaving guests to continue on their own. The restaurant takes walk-ins rather than reservations, and payment is cash only, as cards are not accepted.

“Loved the hotpot here! The soups were great as was the quantity of the ordered items. The staff was great and let us finish our meal even past closing time.”

“Been here a few times for hot pot. The staff are super friendly and really look after us. They always make sure the tea pot is filled to the top and even after I finished my cold drink they topped it up with water even without asking. Always hydrated and full after leaving here :)”

“This hotpot place is best!! It's £29.99pp all you can eat. A great variety of meat, seafood and vegetables. Great sauce combinations, accomodating everyone's palate. It was our first time there, so the waitress didn't just show us, how it works, she was giving us a great service by cooking the food for us and keeping us company. (Thank you for that).”

“We heard that this hotpot place does serve not only hotpot but also other chinese dishes so we went to try it out yesterday. We glad we didn't leave when my friend was crying and coughing over the spicy hotpot base soup when we just sat down. The staff were very kind and helpful and moved us to downstairs seating area so we had the whole floor to ourselves. The manager was very nice and flexible with our order so that the dishes met our personal preferences. The deep fried aubergine in light batter with the delicious sweet and spicy sauce (the bottom right dish in the photo) was my favourite 😍 😋 and it was cooked to perfection!!! Absolutely delicious!! Definitely will go back again as the manager said they can cater to customers' choices of dishes if customers give advanced notice before attending. What a great place to eat!!”

Customer Review Summary
Hotpot cooked at the table is what most reviewers come for, with the Sichuan spice and pork bone mixed pots called exceptional and the dipping sauce section praised for its variety. Diners describe a great selection of fresh meat, tofu, seafood and vegetables. Close behind is the staff, called friendly and attentive, with servers explaining how it all works and, for one first-time table, cooking the food for them. Off the hotpot menu, the deep fried aubergine in a sweet and spicy sauce and the deep fried pigs intestines earn praise, though one reviewer found the rest of the a la carte dishes very average. One diner's friend struggled with the spicy base soup, and another asks how halal and pork are kept separate, with no answer given in the reviews. A couple of reviewers suggest booking and going with a group to share the bill. Regulars mention staff keeping the tea pot filled to the top and topping up water unasked.
