Big Way Hot Pot (Scarborough)

Big Way’s Scarborough shop (Sandhurst / McCowan area) popularized the Ontario self-serve hot pot format before the North York expansion: walk the ingredient line, choose broth and dry mixes, and cook until 2 a.m. It remains one of the latest-closing pots in the east end and a strong alternative when Haidilao next door is fully booked. Expect a lively, younger crowd and a bill that scales with how heavily you load the tray.
