Hotto Potto Aldgate is a Sichuan hot pot restaurant at 19 Leman Street. The experience centres on a simmering broth at the table, allowing diners to cook their chosen ingredients gradually and share a meal at their own pace.
Broth selection determines the foundation of the meal, from deeply spiced Sichuan styles to gentler alternatives. Sliced meat, seafood, vegetables, mushrooms, tofu and noodles can then be combined in different sequences, making each pot easy to tailor to the group.
Dipping sauces add another personal layer, balancing chilli, sesame, herbs and savoury seasonings after ingredients leave the broth. Barbecue dishes and smaller plates give guests something to eat while the pot heats and broaden the range beyond a single cooking method.
The restaurant also offers private karaoke facilities, bringing food and entertainment together for celebrations. Hotto Potto works particularly well for groups who enjoy an interactive meal and want to explore the warming spice and communal character of Sichuan hot pot.
