the dolar shop hot pot restaurant 豆捞坊 - 1909 dining precinct

weather calls forhotpot... here i am.

for those people who don't like to sharehotpotthis place got you. individual hot pot for each person.

this place is know for their premium beef and live seafood, so i'm here to try their beef.

amazing beef with great quality, since it's from osawa supplier i expected nothing less than premium.
there are ranges of type of beef on the menu but my love goes to the a5 japanese beef, it melts in your mouth but comes at a price.

you can go simple and order set meats and a pot to yourself which as well.

if you have a big party they have private rooms for you as well.

this place is nice with premium wagyu meat and also the kurobuta pork😍 they provide high quality seafood as well! thehotpotsoup base is also good and for those that don't want to share their pot this is ideal! the interior design is so fancy with very comfortable chairs😁

the service is really attentive but i didn't like the way in which they kept moving our food to dishes when we had a few pieces left. it felt like we had to hurry to eat even though there is a 2hr eating window.

however, it is a an extremely pricey for hotpot. we ordered quite a bit because the group had large eaters. so if you're group has people who eat a lot i wouldn't recommend this place. this place also doesn't have a large variety of balls and meat except for the premium beef.

also you would need to arrive early to get a table. my friend arrived at 5.30 to get notified that there would be around an hour wait😱 luckily we had to get some things so that helped reduce our waiting time but it did become a 1hr 15min wait.

i would probably come back to eat on a special occasion but not anytime soon.

overall rating: 4.6/5

hands down one of the besthotpotplaces i've ever been to. from the comfy sofa chairs to the attentive service and the food quality, everything is top notch. price is relatively higher, but every dollar is well spent.

taste: 4.5/5

one of the besthotpotin sydney.dining areas are nice and clean and the food is fresh and good quality.fantastic customers service.highly recommend

besthotpotin the town. everything fresh. the soup also good. always come back to here everytime.

this is the besthotpotplace i ever tried. highly recommended, best service , friendly and attentive staff. you need to book to avoid queuing but even queuing is worth the wait . really enjoy this place

we had a lunch set with wagyu and pork meat, personally i tried competitorshotpotboth same from china too. i still think this is better than another famous one. i can only say, you should try this and its definitely way worth it if its lunch set (wallet friendly). but if i have chance and coming with more huge crowd, i will definitely dont mind to skip and order more. my orders is large portion which server 225 gr of meat each, and definitely enough for per pax (even my gf finish it).

probably the besthotpotin sydney. bit pricey but you get what you pay for. fit out is grand and service is good. great selection of liquor.

the besthotpotin sydney hands down! service is amazing and attentive, great ambience and the pork just melts in your mouth 😍

this has become my favhotpotplace in sydney! very well presented dishes and good service. the wagyu beef plate was really good and a must try! the only thing is about the price- a bit pricy, about $150 for two.

the best broth ever. an individualhotpotfor each of us, no more argument for sharing which soup. liked it :) fairly high-end restaurant with high quality customer service. tips: always double check the order bill with what you have ordered, i went there for twice and they keep missing something for my order.

actual rating: 4.5/5

presentation and quality of food was very impressive. each person had their ownhotpotwhich they could choose a broth and add ingredients to their liking. there was also a “sauce bar” and unlimited ice cream at the end of your meal.

my only fault would be that we had a strand of of hair on our meat platter but the staff attended to us promptly.

also, it would be helpful if the menu stated how many serves a “whole” or a “half” portion of various ingredients fed.

the dolar shop is one of my favourite premiumhotpotplaces in sydney. the price is definitely on the more expensive side (probably works out to be $100pp) but it is definitely worth it for the service and quality of food. super impressed with the high quality beef and seafood on their menu

there is also unlimited free matcha and vanilla ice cream for dessert!!! 

would definitely re-visit. for all youhotpotlovers, the dolar shop is a must experience!

i've been to a couple of hotpots in sydney before, not many have made me keen to return.
i recently visited the dolar shop above market city as some friends had told me how good it was. so i decided to check it out.

i can happily say this is by far one of the best qaulity hotpots i've been to!
the dolar shop is macanese, and they have a few unique things about them. firstly, they only source their meats & seafoods from the top qaulity suppliers in sydney that are sourced from australian waters.
this reins true, as the highlight of my meal was the qaulity of meat! it's not a goodhotpotunless the meats and seafood are good!

secondly, they have some special sauces and broths that are unique and very popular. i recommend trying their combinationhotpotpr bone marrow broth and hot n spicy. i also loved how their hot n spicy comes in mild so westerners can handle the heat. another special sauce was a soy sauce base blend that they make in front of you at the table, which you use to dip your cooked meats into. i could have happily drank a bowl of this stuff it went beautifully with the meats!

thirdly, the staff were very friendly to us and very prompt with giving us new chopsticks or anything else we needed.
the atmosphere and decor was very pretty with a couple of private dining tables around the back. you will also notice a panda bear around the place, either seated with a customer or up on the counter 🐼💕 she will keep you company if your dining alone 😍

must orders:
- a grade wagyu 
- meat platter
- wontons/dumplings for the hotpot
- whole fish
- shrimp paste
- tofu rolls
- whole fish

definitely accompanied by a bottle of wine 🍷😜👌

i must say, i was quite impressed. the meat and vegetables were very fresh, broth was flavourful, staff were also really attentive. it is definitely one of the betterhotpotrestaurants in sydney.
