My first time here and first meal out after the lockdown. The spicy chillies broth was amazing. The food ingredients were fresh and I liked the variety of condiments that you can pick to go with the foods.
第一印象店面整洁干净，也很舒适，员工也很热情服务到位！食物色香味俱全，牛羊肉非常新鲜，摆盘也有创意，非常值得一试！
Average taste hotpot to me, not so memorable, the ambience and service are good.
The food was beautiful👌👌👌 and loved the atmosphere, was nice to have some traditional Asian food🍲💯👏 it was first time having hot pot and I'm a fan, will definitely be back😊🔥🔥🔥👍
Excellent food and excellent service. Visited here multiples times in the last couple of months, and each visit met my expectations. The first time I tried to use Zomato Gold there was a mishap, however the manager was apologetic and polite once he found their staff made a mistake. The portion of food is good (not too small and not too big). A bit pricey, but it’s worth it and I’m happy to pay more for the overall exprerience.
Very friendly and polite staff.
Fun and creative way of serving the dishes.
Extensive menu, best part is the self service of sauces and condiments! Prawns are expensive - they are charged on a single basis, not by plate. You get an apron to wear, which is not usually offered at other hotpot restaurants. Had to request the pot to be re-filled, service a bit slow after all plates delivered to the table. BYO friendly. A fun experience.
Exceptional customer service!
Amazing service from the staff at Hotpot Duke! Staff were super friendly and attentive. There was a lot of options to choose from but the only downside is that you can’t see the portions before you order
Fresh food with nice taste，tamato pot is my favorite. There are lots of choice for food，include some special seafood. Good place for friends dating.
The food and service was good, they provided aprons and hairties which was very nice. The portions were smaller than i thought but the quality of the meat was very good
We got a half spicy, half tomato based pot. The tomato base was thick and aromatic, unlike many hotpots in which the base is pretty much chicken stock and salt. They have a wide variety of ingredients, with some pretty interesting ones (eg jalapeño wrapped in beef). Their ingredients are very fresh, especially their meats, which were very thinly sliced. They also have some interesting sauces that were continually topped up. Only down side is that they are quite expensive, for four we spent $180 with 4 beers, however the quality was worth the price.
Cannot fault this place. Service is amazing. Love the aprons and the covers they place on top of your jackets to protect it. Food is of the best quality. Especially love the meat dress barbie and the prawn paste balls. Great soups too.
Great place for hotpot. Ingredients are good quality, restaurant is clean and tidy. Hotpot soup base has a deep flavour profile. Sirloin Barbie is a fun dish to get, layers of sirloin beef as the Barbies "dress". Slowly undress her then enjoy each tasty morsel.

I love this place. Have been here more than a few times in the space of less than a month!! Staff are very helpful and attentive, food is always well prepared and I love how the chefs take the time to make each dish look nice. It is a wee bit pricey but definitely worth it, totally recommend getting the Wagyu beef as a dish as well - so amazing dipping it in the soup it melts in your mouth. So much quality here!!
Such an amazing hotpot experience. The ingredients are all super fresh and delicious. The soup bases are packed full of flavour. Staff are very efficient and tentative.
Was skeptical about Tomato based Hotpot flavour at first but was blown away by how nice it was.Food was fresh. Service was excellent. Overall great experience. Family friendly with private rooms. 10/10 would go again
Pretty good hot pot! Will go again. The service was very good. Did not find their parking, but will do next time. It’s quite packed when we went there at 7:00. So recommending booking
First hot pot experience - you tick the ingredients you want with two soup bases. I chose the classic yin and yang. There was a separate corner to create your own sauce, like a mini buffet, which was cute.
I personally like my spice but the spicy soup base was immensely spicy. My other friends recommended the tomato soup base so I'll have to give that one a try.
Service: we were served by a really friendly waitress who helped us A LOT. Made huge contributions to our happy evening.

YES! HELL YES! Get the healthy chicken broth soup, it is PHENOMENAL. Get the barbie beef dish for all your creepy-cool insta needs.
One tip, for someone who is fanatical about spicy food, I actually wouldnt recommend getting the spicy soup base, not that it wasnt delicious, but only for the reason that the chicken broth is SO good and you can just dip your meat in your make-your-own dipping sauces, which you can make as spicy as your black heart desires.
Everything is good, the price per dish is also not too high but portion is very little which makes it expenssive.
They charge for BYO as well.
I would give this place a 5 star. From service to food everything is really good. Theres usually a little bit of a wait during busy hours but we were offered free snacks while we waited.
Our favourite is the half tomato soup half mushsoom soup base. absolutely delicious!!!! Tomato soup goes really well with fried gluten balls, the balls soak up the soap and its so fking yummy. The mushroom soup is so good as well, i would just drink the soup on its own.
The price gets a little expensive once everything adds up but with zomato gold its not too bad.
They also give u aprons if u dont wnt ur outfits getting dirty/smelly. The manager is really accomodating and nice.
The best hotpot place so far in terms of quality and cleanliness. It’s a very busy place and even if you book you would still have to wait past your booking time as people refuse to leave. The ordering system was easy, just tick what you want and there is an english menu. We enjoyed both the spicy and tomato soup bases.
Possibly the BEST hotpot place in Auckland! Best food and best service with a big smile! It can get crowded with a wait for a table if you arrive at peak dinner time. Soups were spot on, we ordered the spicy beef soup and the chicken soup. The small level spicy had just enough spicy oil without being too much and the chicken soup was so tasty even on its own before we cooked any ingredient! Meat quality was great too, we especially enjoyed the sirloin Barbie meat as it was tender, lean and tasty! The smashed prawns were literally smashed prawns and it was so good! We were pleasantly surprised to find that enoki mushrooms served were of the fresh types, really shows their emphasis on quality, fresh enoki cost more for them but they had no qualms about serving us these instead of the canned ones unlike other hot pot restaurants! We were a table of two diner and we used Zomato gold and got 2 dishes worth a total of $22 free :) use my referral code SAPHIC if you want to enjoy the same!
Food was all good and well presented, lots of dry ice which was really cool! The spicy soup was very spicy!! More modern that a lot of chinese restaurants.
Strongly recommend place for the best hotpot! I have been there 3 times and tried almost everything and very impressed with the taste and their service.
We had a great hotpot dinner last night. The tomato hotpot is highly recommended and spicy hotpot is tasty as well, but when it's getting salty it's time to ask for more soup stock. We really like the smashed shrimp paste that carries on the shrimp flavour and so fresh you don't need any source. Great place, great food and best service.
Really creative hot pot restaurant. Spicy Flavour base waa really nice, and tomato base soup was not canned tomato which u can tell after taste. I like the black sugar ice jelly, it was good to eat after tried all the spicy food.
Very pleasant dinner with my friends for all the food we had. Fresh, yummy and nice look :) Will definitely come again with my family and friends!

Wow what a surprise. As someone who’s originated from a place where we basically live off of hotpot cuisine, I was pleasantly surprised by Hotpot Duke and the great experience it gave me. Wait time was not long as we had booked in advance (you need to!! It’s a VERY BUSY PLACE) and while we were waiting they gave us the menu to read over to keep us occupied which I thought was considerate. It doesn’t stop there!! Once seated they gave us cloths to wipe our glasses in case it fogs, aprons to prevent stains, plastic envelopes to prevent our phones from getting dirty and jacket covers to prevent them from smelling like hotpot when we leave. How much better can the service be? We spent just under $100 for two people and we had ordered way too much. I was there to celebrate my dads birthday, not only did they give us a free bowl of noodles (which is typically served to the birthday person in chinese culture) they also played the happy birthday song for us, how cool. Ingredients all seemed very fresh and some of their stuff were very uniquely presented e.g barbie doll beef slices. The hotpot broths were extremely flavourful (we got their classic and tomato based) and can always get refilled. Everything was great and I will definitely be back.
Veeeery interesting plating for a hotpot place. It’s good to see a little special something for a normal cuisine. Adds a bit of flare and a bit of fun.
We came with a bunch of friends and got a private room. There is a minimum charge for private rooms as per normal so we were well and truly stuffed at the end. Just as well we got a private room because by 7pm this place was packed!
Service was tentative and I have nothing to complain about.
I would’ve given the food 3 stars (tasted average) but the plating bumped it to 4 stars.
Would come back again.
Really good hotpot with amazing service!!! Wide range of food and good quality. Service is amazing! They consider a lot in the smaller details from providing a plastic cover so your phone doesnt get oil on it to providing hair ties for the ladies. Will def be returning!
The food was average for the price but was presented very well, they have a lot of sauces to choose from. The concept and atmosphere of the restaurant was very appealing. I loved the service at this restaurant, where hot pot is not normally known for .
One of the best hotpot i have ever visited staff is best excellent service they have everything before doing a hotpot from basic things to hair band , phone cover and apron for protection and i enjoyed my hotpot with my friends . I have already recommended about hotpot duke to my friends and fans through my blog and through my instagram @nowfianahidakamal
Will definitely go again with my family! My kids really love the atmosphere there, awesome food, friendly staff and good environment, also has games to play! Thumb up
Has been to this place twice now,absolutely love it. Hotpot is still very new for me, but it’s definitely worthy trying, not the typical Chinese food. We cooked the fresh ingredients in a bowling hot soup. The Tomato basic soup, is amazing. Can’t stop while I’m at Hotpot Duke. The price is very reasonable, and portion for the meat and seafood plate is quite affordable. Cost for two is around 40-50, very good taste as well. Will for sure coming back again.
First time trying hot pot and was very pleased! Great food to share with a big group.
They had a wide variety of dishes to choose from which was nice since it can accommodate everyone in the group.
Will defiantly come again :)
food is very good little bit high price but worth。 need wait for more than half hour。 they are really busy so make a booking before u go. but the service and food will satisify u
Nice food great service comfortable environment convenient location love love love love recommend to everyone who like to eat hot pot. This are the best restaurant
Authentic soup base, fresh food and friendly staff, tomato soup pot is amazing, must try it!! There are also some deserts taste very nice. Strongly recommend!
我是朋友介绍我来的， 番茄锅底不错，有甜味也有番茄的酸，但不能吃酸的我完全可以接受，非常棒！ 服务相当好，一开吃就有配围裙，各种菜品相当新鲜，推荐点个面筋 牛肉片和午餐肉，然后特别是虾滑 有海底捞的感觉！ 不过辣锅不够辣啊，要的中辣 估计只有平时小辣的程度，下次来估计试试最辣的。
I can confidently say that this is an international five star standard restaurant. It can be seen that the restaurant has a lot of hard work to keep the high standard. Every employee of the authentic Chinese hot pot is well trained. The professional service is worth a try.
A hotpot place with best service and food presentation i have ever been in Akl.Sources are rich and the tomato soup was awesome.However the spicy one was just average.
It is a modern Chinese hotpot restaurant,I have been to XiaoLongKan and DaLongYi,but this restaurant give me different experience,and you can enjoy 12% discount after 9:00pm,that’s fantastic 💁🏼
Probably best hotpot we've ever tired in NZ.
Meat and Veges are beautifully presented, also perfectly fresh. Staffs are very professional and extremely helpful. Don't forget to try out their delicious desert dishes, we really enjoyed it.
We are also amazed by their detailed services, they even provide glasses cloth for cleaning the glasses that I was wearing.
$ are also very reasonable.
It great to see such a truly authentic Chinese Sichuan Hotpot now available right here in Auckland.
We recommend this place for people who would like to explore the true Chinese Sichuan Hotpot.
Will visit Hotpot Duke again for sure.
环境看起来超级高大上，我们6个人给安排可8人的大桌，长板凳很有感觉！价格比别人家早要便宜，菜量也比较大。比较推荐海鲜拼盘，啥都有。看是28一小份，以为少写了一个1。味道没得说，还有冒烟，很漂亮！大刀毛肚涮完很脆，一点也不会咬不动，蔬菜也很新鲜。总之，以后吃火锅会优先考虑来这的。。。
The provide the best service I have never seen in Auckland restaurants and the food is fresh also is cheap for us to have the hotpot in Auckland hotpot restaurant. Nice place and I will c u again
在奥克兰吃过的最好吃的火锅，还会再去的火锅店，摆盘很新颖，服务也很周到 会提供围裙 橡皮筋 眼镜布 充电宝，价格也不高 我们是九点以后去的 还有八八折的优惠！特别推荐芭比肥牛，尖椒牛肉卷，红糖冰粉，酒酿汤圆还有海鲜拼盘！这次试的是他们家的酸菜和菌汤锅！下次准备尝试他们的特色番茄锅。
多次光顾少城公子了，最爱番茄锅~我本来不能吃酸，她们家的甜甜的，带一点酸味~每次都会先喝番茄汤~真的太棒了~服务也超级好，每次都会提供围裙，皮筋~最爱吃的肉是大片牛肉，对于我这种只爱吃肉的，真的感觉大满足~午餐肉和虾滑也超级好吃，每次必点~还有玲玲卷，真的像他们说的特别吸收汤汁~好入味~辣锅我都吃小辣，她家可以加辣，还不错…现在还出了小火锅，在家也可以吃了~
Hotpot Duke is located at the central of Dominion Road, it's on the second floor, the place is bit hidden to find in the first place. However, it won't disappoint you. The ambiance is great, clean and big as well. During weekends, the restaurant can be very crowded, so better reserve it for the weekend. The stuff are very friendly, if you ask them about the details of the dishes, they are very patient to explain you. The price is great for 4 four of us, only costs 200 and we are all very much stuff.
The price is cheaper than the other similar hot pot restaurant. And the server is quite good. Eeasy parking and nice environment. Good choose for hot pot! High recommend!
Nice environment. Great service. Very friendly and helpful staff. One of the best hotspot you can get in Auckland. Food is great. Highly recommend to anyone who likes hot and spicy food.
非常好吃 而且有创意的火锅！他家的摆盘是我见过唯一可以堪比西餐厅的中餐馆，尤其还是在火锅店 更为难得。而且说实话 在少城公子吃火锅 是唯一我吃完没有拉肚子的 食品真的可以看出来很新鲜. 推荐大家吃大片牛肉 还有精品肥牛 拍照党也可以点芭比肥牛，确实很有意思. 还有海鲜拼盘 是我见过性价比最高的菜 可以看出满满的诚意在里面，因为小份的海拼竟然有两只小鲍鱼 还有一堆其他的海鲜 才20多块. 冬天了 大家少城公子约起来约起来！
Great service and friendly stuff. Manager was keen to get our feedback and had sincere attitude. The food was good too but again the service was extravagant. Good price also. Will revisit
Loved it! Best sichuan hotpot so far! The beef so tender. Very flavourful. Not to mention the service is brilliant!
The only down side is that it is hard to book and the servants will ask you to leave if you have been eating for 1.5hours plus.
Really nice Hotpot in Auckland.Awesome food with nice service.Is not a expensive place to have dinner.We four people ordered many food just spent $195.Anyway，here Is a really amazing restaurant，You must order the beef and seafood，cos these two things are reallllly delicious.They also have some Chinese snack such as spicy noodles and rice cake with brown sugar.Choice this place，you will see how awesome is this place.
Their staffs were really friendly, they covered our jacket and even gave me glasses cleaning clothe.
We chose medium hot flavour soup and one of their server recommended less spicy one probably she considered we are not use to the chinese spiciness and that was right.
Food was bit spicy to me but I still very enjoyed except sweet potato
Awesome place for dinner.. nice tomato hot pot soup brings extra sweet & smooth taste.. we ordered quite full menu around 8pm and the price was very good. Will go there again :)
It is our second time dining here. Great value of food, taste is fabulous, staff are friendly and helpful, will definitely recommend to friends.
最近新开的火锅店 在倒霉路 看到朋友圈都在转发 很火 抱着猎奇的心态去了 排了1个小时的队 真的超级火爆 坐下来开始吃 就觉得队没白排 真的挺好吃 点的番茄锅 我居然喝了两碗汤 特色菜：芭比牛肉 小吃也好吃 我朋友点了个蛋炒饭 他说这是他吃过最好吃的蛋炒饭了 不知道有什么秘密调料 两人吃了80多 性价比高 还会去.
新颖的摆盘，松板猪，芭比肥牛，海鲜拼盘，尖椒牛肉卷都是亮点！非常好吃的味道，尤其是新疆日光番茄锅，绝对是奥克兰吃过的最好吃的番茄锅底！价格还不贵，人均只要40-50刀左右，装修应该也是倒霉路上最好的中餐厅了！四川小吃担担面，口水鸡，红油抄手还有红糖糍粑都很不错呢，下次还会来吃的！
Seriously, this place is incredible! First class service, premium quality food and great presentation. I love tomatoes, so personally, I think the tomato soup base is to die for!! Couldn’t resist to order barbie beef.
My favorite got pot restaurant at the moment, we went twice within the week.
Lots of options, the barbie beef is fun. Great presentation and doesn’t break the wallet.
Great for all occasions, just remember to book in advance! Always packed!
