Souper Hot Pot & Tea
A clean, efficient build-your-own hot pot spot in North York that lets you control the portions and the spice level.
Located in the heart of North York, Souper Hot Pot & Tea offers a modern, streamlined take on the traditional hot pot experience. The interior is clean and spacious, featuring comfortable booth seating that provides significantly more room to move than many of the crowded, high-energy spots you might be used to. It is a self-service model, which removes the guesswork and allows you to curate exactly what goes into your meal. The staff are friendly and efficient, getting you seated quickly, which makes this a solid option if you are looking for a straightforward, no-fuss dinner.
The mechanics here are simple: grab a bowl, load it up with your preferred proteins, seafood, and vegetables, and pay by weight at $3.99 per 100g. Your broth—choose from nine varieties, though the Mala is a standout if you can handle the heat—is included in that price, as is ice cream for dessert. While the vegetable selection is a bit more limited than some other local spots, the seafood variety is excellent, making this a great choice if you are prioritizing shrimp, fish, and other aquatic additions. Be sure to hit the fully stocked sauce bar to customize your dipping profile, and don't hesitate to ask for a plastic bib if you want to keep your clothes clean while navigating the broth. It is a practical, well-executed spot that is perfect for a quick, personalized meal.
