Dragon Hot Pot 117 Gouger Street, Adelaide, South Australia 5000

"Nice place to try out hotpot if you are new to the concept. The prices are reasonable and around $4 per 100grams. Have dined here at least 5 times now and enjoy trying the different soup broths and bases. You can choose from a variety of Asian food items like greens, mushrooms, noodles, sliced cold cuts, marinated chicken and beef, tofu, egg, sprouts, fish cakes and dumplings. You tell your preferred base of broth or stir fry and it is prepared for you on the spot. You can chose your spice levels from a mild to dragon hot. The place can get really crowded on weekends and you might have to wait at least 20-25 minutes before you are seated. Recommended - Signature Mala Tang (quality broth that has been simmered for hours!) or the Mala Spicy Stir Fry for the brave."

"My family dines at dragon hotpot every few weeks, the service has always been fantastic, the owner always remembers us, greets my children and once even gave them toy dragons which they loved. The food is delicious, my two daughters love it, taking my youngest to eat dragon hotpot is by far the easiest way to get her to eat and she generally finishes multiple bowls! My eldest daughter says it’s her favourite place to eat. The huge array of produce is always fresh and the food service is fast! Great for groups of people who all want to eat individual meals and those that want to share! We have dined at many of the hot pot restaurants in Adelaide, China town & Mawson lakes and Dragon hot pot is by far the best and you don’t have line up to get a seat! Strongly recommend 10/10"

"Recently, I decided to explore the culinary landscape of Adelaide's CBD and found myself at Dragon Hot Pot on Gouger Street. While this place boasts a wide range of ingredient and flavour options, it has room for improvements in certain areas. Stepping into the restaurant, I was intrigued by its dragon-themed decor. However, the ambiance was somewhat marred by a lack of cleanliness, with old food remnants on the floor and tables, contributing to an overall feeling of untidiness. The food at Dragon Hot Pot proved to be a mixed bag. The vast selection of ingredients was impressive, catering to various tastes and spice levels. Yet, the freshness of the ingredients was inconsistent, with some appearing a tad old. The lack of clear signage for the ingredients added an unnecessary layer of confusion to the otherwise exciting experience of hot pot dining. On the service front, the staff was friendly, though not as attentive as one might hope. For example, we had to specifically request napkins, an essential item for a hot pot meal. In terms of pricing, it was fairly average and acceptable for what was on offer. However, a point of concern was the smoke from the staff smoking at the entrance wafting into the restaurant, compromising the dining experience. Overall, I'd rate Dragon Hot Pot a 4.5 out of 10. The vast selection of ingredients and flavours is commendable, but improvements in cleanliness, staff attentiveness, and overall food freshness could elevate the dining experience significantly. I am unlikely to return or recommend this restaurant based on this experience."

"Best option for hot pot so far, so many option for the base. We ordered tom yum base and it was amazing, we love it. You can also order stiry fry. The customer service was good. The price? You paid what u choose."

"Excellent food and choice of toppings. A little more expensive than other hotpot places. Very clean. Giving three stars as all the staff were smoking and vaping outside of which the smoke all came inside."
