Centre Street Japanese Hotpot - Calgary

A favourite! Recommend to everyone! I go here as often as possible. The presentation is beautiful and the food is tasty. Try the lunch/late night special for a great deal. Go here!

What a deliciously messy and spicy experience! I decided to have lunch here on a whim and I was pleasantly surprised. The waitress was very helpful since it was my first time trying hot pot. I ordered the spicy "strong" soup base with beef and udon noodles. The soup was definitely spicy and I thoroughly enjoyed it, although I would caution those who prefer milder flavors to avoid the "strong" spice level. The beef was of good quality and cooked perfectly. Overall, I had a great time with my first hot pot experience. The service was friendly, the restaurant was clean, and the portion size was generous for the price.

6 of us went to Japanese Hot Pot on a weeknight, I would recommend a reservation as they did get very busy and there are only two tables of 6, the rest are for a table for 2 or 4. The concept here is individual hot pots, but you still cook yourself, which i liked. I had only been to Hot Point which is also individualized, but all the ingredients is cooked at once for you and they use a flame to keep it hot. I liked that this restaurant had electric warmers. The ingredients were fresh and I liked that you could choose your broth, meat and noodles (ramen, udon, glass noodles etc). You can choose from small or large, the large comes with 2 meats and more veggies than the small. You can also add bubbletea for a reduced price. <br/ <br/ I totally recommend this restaurant and will return.

The drinks can be hit or miss here, and it really depends on who you get to make it. I would say stick to something you know you already like. The broth and the food are great, especially for the price. <br/ <br/ The staff are really polite and I've never had a bad experience with any of them.

At first, I was a bit disappointed that they're hot pot wasn't all you can eat. I ordered a large spicy soup broth with lamb and beef. It was delicious!! They come in big portions with variety of veggies, fish cakes and fish. I couldn't even finish mine. We even stayed there for dessert for fresh mango shaved ice. It was pretty good! Staff was extremely friendly. I'll definitely be going back!
