This is the only Chinese hot pot I'm aware of on the north shore. I come here every so often because of it. While it certainly isn't bad, but there's plenty of room for improvement. Price wise, it's really expensive for what it is. If you can with someone, do not expect to pay less then $40~$50. The one thing I can really say is the soup base needs to improve as it's not even a base of anything, it's just tap water. They need more varieties as I don't remember seeing it. As for the ambiance, it's okay but nothing really special about it. read more

food was okay, have had better hot pot but it was still a nice warm meal on a rainy day after a long walk around capilano suspension bridge. its recommended that its one hot pot per person but it was honestly shareable. you're just paying for what you get though so don't expect anything super amazing. read more

Didn't have time for the hotpot today. 3 delicious dishes, amazing service surrounded by lovely art work which provided a home style feel - just like the food. Recommend. Thanks Winnie for sharing your restaurants history. read more

Very delicious choices of hot pots. Extremely affordable and great service. Ling explained properly and we decided to have different one each of us: lamb pot with duck egg soup base and chicken pot with chicken broth soup base. Quantity of vegetables, proteins and sauce were more than enough. Also comes with steam rice. Even tea was great and also we had as compliment a delicious winter melon with honey refreshing beverage. It is a place to go back again, very healthy type of food. Ling's service was impecable!!!! Nice location and peaceful ambience read more

Overall pretty bad, I wouldn't go there again. The main reason for the low rating is due to their poor service. We went to their restaurant in a rainy evening and the owner and his servers happened to be having dinners. We were the only customers during the time but there were literally no service provided. Asking for a glass of water took forever and we had to wait for the food and hot pot for every long time. In the end, I had to walk to their dinner table to ask for the bill and the whole experience was very bad. Also, the food (hot pot) is below average. We expected authentic Sichuan style hot pot, which should be spicy and numbing but got very disappointed. I could easily make much better hot pots at home with ingredient from T&T. The price wasn't bad, but given the bad service and below average food, I wouldn't visit this place again. read more

Great customer service. The waiter was very polite and nice. Food is alright. I loved my spicy soup but my husband's Thai soup was very blend, we had to add our dip sauce and some of my soup to add flavour. Meat was great, fresh and tasty. But the veggie plate was quite disappointing. Most of it is just cabbage, you get a tiny bit mushrooms as shown in the picture and 2 pieces toonie sized tomatoes. Basically what you can see in the picture is what you get, underneath is just full of cabbages. In conclusion, with extremely limited options in North Vancouver and the price point, I might go back again if I reeeeeeeally feel like hotpot. read more

Visiting Canada for the first time! I've ate at hot pot places all over California, Texas, and China. This place is one of my faves now! Got the lamb combo and added an order of scallops. We got the spicy pot/medium spicy which was perfect. The wintermelon drink really hit the spot. Place was well decorated for the holidays, clean, & the service was great! Waitress was super friendly and sweet. EAT HEREEE read more

This place is such an underrated gem. The hot pot here has an individual pot per person so you can get way more creative with sharing with the rest of your table and get more out of the experience. Really great service, great food, absolutely recommend. read more

Picked this restaurant for lunch based on Yelp reviews and yelp didn't fail us. One of best hot pot restaurants I have been to. I had a shrimp and meat combo hotpot while my daughter had a veg combo. We had medium spicy soup base. The soup was flavorful and the combo had good amount of meats and veggies. The side sauce they gave was excellent. I would definitely frequent this place if I were a Vancouver resident. Highly recommended. read more

This is a personal hotpot kind of place. Pick a soup base and then a package of meats and vegis. After that you can add on more things like dumplings or meat ect. Everything was So fresh and the meat cuts were very good! Little pricy but great quality and service. Only complaint is no plum drink. Will be going again. read more

I'm so glad that I found this place and decided to do take out. I will come more often for Chinese food here because this is what Chinese food is to me. Sure there are other places but this place does spicy dishes and I love spicy Chinese food. I ordered the boiling fish slices with rice and between the two of us. That was the perfect meal for a small dinner between us two girls. You can come in and have hot pot. So I'm looking forward to a meal inside instead of takeout. If only they closed an hour later then I could eat there. At least I get my takeouts. For now this is the best place for Chinese food for me in North Van. read more

Make sure you look at the receipt. I was busy with treating my family out for dinner that I just ok'd the transaction. After getting home I did a quick calculation, didn't add up. Looking at pricing on posts from menu it should have been around $165 prior to tax. My bill was $199 prior to tax. read more

Delicious! We had the spicy broth and the mushroom broth. Both were great! The vegetables and other add ins were good as well. Their dipping sauce was why I am giving them 5 stars. read more

End up 30$ per person for dinner. But it doesn't look like it's that price. Food tastes okay tho. Service is ok. read more

This is the worst Chinese restaurant I've ever eaten in vancouver. the service is bad, I don't know why there are so many good reviews ,will not patronize again. read more

I was hoping to be really happy with this hot pot since it's in north van! I was happy we tried it out, but probably wouldn't be back. The broth was really good, but we left still feeling hungry. Felt the price for meal was too big to feel unsatisfied. read more

Very traditional Chinese foods. Hospital services. The price is relatively high but worth to try. read more

Lion Hot Pot - Boiled sliced live fish with shredded vegetables - Hot Pot Near Me - North Vancouver, British Columbia

We read other Yelp reviews that said this is the real deal hot pot. And it was! Noodles, soup bases and sauces are made in-house without msg or preservatives. Base is served in single pots in the Japanese style. We ordered seafood and meat combination, which was served with a cold, crisp bowl of veg and tofu to get the pot started. Everything fresh! Owners are very friendly and take pride in their food. We didn't try any of the Chinese dishes, but the next table had some and they looked delish also. read more

Excellent hot pot, food is very fresh and home made....Family run. Recommend the prawn and beef hot pot and tea!

The food was very good and a reasonable price. Friendly & attentive service. The shrimp was excellent and so was the beef. The homemade udon noodles were delicious. We ordered 4 different broths for 6 people and individually picked our veggies from the side menu. I highly recommend a side of potato along with the veg. The only thing I felt was missing was some kind of sweet condiment. It would have helped to balance the heavy savouryness of the food. A sweet peanut sauce or cashew sauce would be perfect. We left full and it cost $110 for the six of us. read more

After driving by for past year, we are so happy that we finally stopped in! We used to frequent a Japanese hot pot place in Burnaby for over 15 years, but haven't been since moving to the North Shore. What a surprise to learn that Lion Hot Pot is owned by someone who used to work at the place in Burnaby! The flavours are nostalgic, the service is excellent and all at a reasonable price. You basically have your choice of any type of meat or seafood (also vegetarian options) and it comes with a well portioned set. The place is very clean and the best part is the individual pots to cook in. This is a legit hot pot place and I'm so happy it exists in North Van! I feel a need to get the word out so this place sticks around for a long time. read more

Finally hot pot in north vancouver! Portions are big, and service is fast. The combo includes wintermelon juice, tea and dessert with your dinner. Though you have to ask for the dessert when you are ready. The vegetables are all very fresh. So good! read more

Came here after a day of snowboarding at cypress. Was not disappointed. Hotpot is very authentic and meat was amazing. They give you complimentary melon juice, which was really good. read more

Order 1 hotspot and one chicken stir fry dish. Stir fry was all chicken fat and no veggies as they said was included. The vegetables in the hotpot was basically a bowl of lettuce. Wanted to order something from photos posted here on yelp and they said that dish is not from this restaurant so someone is posting fake photos. Place was empty and horrible. Not going back. Everything about our experience screams fraud. read more

Typical Chinese small hotspot, convenience parking at the back and fresh soup base. Will come back!
