"Nan Hotpot looks like a Cyberdog from the outside, but inside it’s an homage to traditional Chinese Ming dynasty design with yoke back wood benches and vintage signs. It’s packed—students chasing the early bird dinner discount, theatre-goers fuelling up before curtain call, and rowdy groups settling in for the long haul. Tucked just off Leicester Square, this Chongqing spot stays open until the early hours Monday to Saturday, serving food and full-on energy until 3am. Let Nan take the wheel and drive for you—their set menu includes unlimited visits to the sauce station, a platter of sliced beef short ribs, king prawns, sweet potato noodles, and enoki mushrooms in a luxurious half-and-half mushroom and tomato broth. Don’t leave without trying the brown sugar glutinous rice cake and the adorable strawberry panda shaved ice, too." - Angela Hui
