Legend Hot Pot, Burwood

I love hot pot, specifically the communal dining aspect of everyone focussed on a pot of soup bubbling away at the centre. Carefully swirling thin slices of meat into the soup until cooked to your liking, fishing for forgotten tofu and smothering your morsels into a custom made dipping sauce.

Legend Hot Pot in Burwood is one of the few hot pot places in Sydney where it’s buffet hot pot, lunch will set you back $48pp and dinner $58pp but lemme tell you right now, this place is VALUE! The quality of everything was super impressive and there’s so much variety! You pay at the entrance first and can purchase alcoholic beverages from the inside bar later.

LOOK AT HOW CLEAN EVERYTHING IS!

You’ll get given a business card and then shown to your table. You head over to the hot pot soup base station and pick which one you want. Options range from full pots or half half flavours- there’s different spicy bases with varying levels of heat and also mushroom, chicken, fish, pickled vegetable, braised beef and nourishing chicken. Once you’ve picked which pot you want, you hand over the card. Pick carefully as you can’t go back and get a different base if you change your mind.

Take your pot back to your table and a waiter will come by with a kettle of hot water and explain the settings on your induction table.

Bubble bubble. I opted for the half spicy and half nourishing chicken.

While your pot o soup is heating up, head over to the stations and pick what you want to eat! Everyone usually heads straight for the pork, beef and lamb scrolls.

For the offal inclined there’s tripe honeycomb, kidney, blood jelly and brain (!)

Gotta load up on the veggies and mushrooms for the health!

Get your money’s worth on the seafood station, there’s cockles, prawns, scallops, blue swimmer crabs and fish fillets.

There’s a fried foods station which is totally a stomach filling trap but the fried mochi with brown sugar sauce is so freaking good!

There’s a trolley with steamed buns, dumplings and xlb

At the end of each station there’s some cooked foods like pork knuckle, noodles and fried rice. We scored chilli crawfish later on too!

And then head over to the amazing condiments station to diy your favourite dipping sauce combo. My personal sauce is a tonne of coriander, crushed garlic, sugar and sesame oil. Can I reiterate again on HOW CLEAN AND SHINY EVERYTHING IS!

Oh and there’s lychee sodas, herbal tea and grass jelly drinks, cut fruits and dessert for later.

Unlimited soft drinks and fro yo!

Be warned if you take too much food they’ll charge you for every 150g wasted. But seriously, this place is my new favourite hot pot in all of Sydney! The staff are lovely and everything is just so clean and orderly and there’s so much variety!
