Dolar Shop

Top notch quality and service make Dolar Shop a go-to for hot pot. The seafood was fresh and their house made sauce was delicious! Highly recommend the noodles too. I found the restaurant to be clean, including the washrooms (which can't always be said for some restaurants). The single serve hot pot set up is great because it limits the sharing, in a good way. I get my own personal pot that I can adjust with a dial. Even the reservation process is easy to follow - type in your name and # and they text you when your table is ready. We waited less than 10mins on a Sunday evening for w people. I will definitely be back!

Awesome experience here at Dolar Shop. The interior is bright, beautiful and elegant; feels like you stepped into an establishment for some high tea except it’s hot pot. The establishment was very clean and peaceful. All the staff here were super helpful and respectful and answered any questions I had. As expected, the prices are higher but the quality of the food, broths, and service is terrific which justifies the cost. I was extremely blown away by the both broths that I had ordered. I have been to other hot pot places before and have ordered the tomato broth multiple times and I expected it to be very similar, however the tomato broth also has oxtail in it which add just another element that elevates the flavor. I honestly could just drink the soup all day and eat it with noodles; very impressed. But what fascinated me more was the “equisite silver soup”. This soup base was like nothing I have ever had. Not sure how to even describe the flavor but it was unique and just hit different. Both broths were great for cooking all types of meat and seafood. I ordered quite a bit of food (accident) but everything was very fresh and arrived in relatively quick fashion. The server offered to make us the signature dipping sauce which was honestly better than the self serve that I made with myself. They had a nice self serve bar w all the different sauces one would need and had gloves for you to wear to help with the spread of COVID. If you go during on the day of your birthday they even have some sort of prize draw. I went a day before my birthday so I didn’t get to experience that but the server did bring out a “birthday noodle” (some sort of noodle with an egg on top cooked in some broth) which was a nice gesture. Noodle wasn’t great as it was overcooked but I can’t complain when something is free. If you want to save a few dollars, go during happy hour as it is 30% off which makes it quite “affordable” (or more affordable over regular price lol). Ice cream at the end was a nice touch to end a enjoyable meal. Highly recommend and would go again.

My out of town guests found this place on Google. We all enjoyed the food. We loved having our own choice of hot pot soup. A bonus there’s a elemnt to control the temperature. There are 5 types of broth to choose from. Our server was kind enough to let a couple of us try the broth. We both ended up having the truffle mushroom broth & even got 3 slices of truffle. We loved it. The others had the silver broth and hot & spicy broth. We all splurged and ordered the A5 Miyazaki Beef at $110 per plate! It was definitely a melt in your mouth taste that quickly melted your pocket book. Avoid the pancake with Waygu beef. Not so wowing for everyone. They offer a bit of everything in the meat selection including meat organs. Many of the veggie choices were limited. By having individual hot pots, it’ll suit every type of eater from the vegan to the carnivore. They also offer an open bar of condiments (chilli sauce, sesame seed oil, oyster oil, garlic, etc) and had one choice of vegetable – tomatoes and one choice of fresh fruit – cantaloupe for an extra $3.99. Don’t forget to ask for the ice cream cone at the end. The décor is very nice with great service. There are a few extra party rooms if you want to celebrate a special occasion. I was told you it’ll cost $600 for 10 people including every hot pot item. It’s not your every day run of the mill dinner place as reflected in the prices. It was a busy place not to mention that they even have happy hour.

Expensive but very delicious and high quality. The wagyu mountain is great to try at least once if you can afford it. If not, the rest of the meats remain high quality and savoury. They take you through how it works so it’s great if you’re not familiar with hotpot. I usually make my own sauce but the house sauce was perfect. The server made the shrimp paste balls for us and constantly replenished the broths. Unexpectedly one of the best, authentic, hotpot places around.

Was taken here by my friends to experience my first Hot Pot! The service was impeccable and I was a bit overwhelmed with how it all works but the server “Jenny” explained it all to me! They first let you choose your broth and then you just pick what you want in it! You boil your own Hot Pot right at your table! Absolutely brilliant!! I was then rewarded with the most delicious ice cream topped with a macaroon and it was FREE! Lol! Super delicious and I am now officially a master at Hot Pot! They are known to be the best and now I see why!

As expected. You can certainly get a much better value with the money spent elsewhere. It's just like all other hot pot places in Vancouver, over priced. However the service was good, soup base taste good, i like the sauce, and it's nice that they serve individual pot. It's just that the food items are too pricy. What you see in the picture will cost you around $140.
