Panda Hot Pot began with a simple idea: Celebration “聚 (Jù)”, a value deeply rooted in Chinese culture. “聚 (Jù)” goes beyond a simple gathering; it represents shared warmth, meaningful connections, and the harmony that arises when people and cultures come together.
At Panda Hot Pot, this spirit infuses everything we do—from the flavours we craft through our signature hot pot recipes to the atmosphere we create at our Chinese restaurant—bringing people closer through food and culture.
About Our Hot Pot
We serve authentic Chinese hot pot, sourcing premium ingredients directly from their origins and working with passionate, experienced chefs to craft each hot pot recipe. From traditional ingredients and regional spices sourced across China, every taste tells a story, every flavour carries centuries of culinary wisdom. Around the bubbling pot at our Chinese restaurant, you’ll not only enjoy fresh and nourishing delicacies, but also feel the warmth of home and the richness of Chinese culture — a dining experience that satisfies both body and soul.
About Our Culture
Our cultural spirit goes beyond the table. An exclusive Chinese cultural dining experience is further encapsulated through the intricately hand-crafted decor and live Sichuan Opera shows at Panda Hot Pot.
Panda Hot Pot was originally established in the Sichuan province of China. Not only is this region native to our national treasure, the Giant Panda, it’s also the birthplace of one of the most extraordinary dining experiences in the world – hot pot. Our chefs bring this tradition to life through carefully crafted hot pot recipes, offering guests an authentic taste of Sichuan cuisine at our Chinese restaurant.
We believe our food, drinks, service, and hand-crafted design can enrich Melbourne’s cultural diversity and make a meaningful contribution to its lifestyle and tourism landscape. Our goal is to provide internationally renowned service — the best of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere — and to become a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists. We aim to offer more than a world-class dining experience; we want to share an equally remarkable cultural experience with the city of Melbourne.
Panda Hot Pot is hot pot—yet more than hot pot. It is where your own story of ‘Celebration’ begins. Gather to savour, gather to celebrate. With authentic flavours we enrich life; with open hearts we embrace the world.
