Big JJ Seafood Hotpot

Black chicken soup was delicious and love how they spoon some soup for you first before you start. So many sauces as well and the beef is really good quality! The only thing is the wait staff are a bit strange lol they really don’t speak any English or mandarin and just look a bit confused or lost wandering around. Not cheap either but worth it for the delicious food.

Arriving at Big JJ Seafood just after the lunch rush around 1:40 pm was a smart move, resulting in only a 10-minute wait. We sampled three superb dishes. The Pratunam Chicken Rice was a standout, featuring tender, high-quality chicken infused with a delightful lemongrass flavour. Even better was the lamb rib curry—an absolute must-try. The lamb was fall-off-the-bone tender with a crispy exterior, simmered in a rich, subtly sweet curry brilliantly enhanced by lemon leaf. The beef with noodles was also excellent, with great texture and quality. While not a cheap lunch and the seating is a typical, crowded cha chaan teng setup, the exceptional food more than justifies the visit. It was absolutely worth both the short wait and the price, making for a truly satisfying meal.

Quality of food: 5/5 - we went for lunch in the afternoon. The noodles were very tasty and the beef was super tender, paired well with the savoury sauce. Cleanliness: 4/5 - relatively clean restaurant Service: 5/5 - quick service, food came fast after ordering. We arrived for lunch in the afternoon around 2pm where there was a line up but the wait wasn't too long. Value for money: 5/5 - great tasting food for the price Recommendation: 5/5 - must try lunch options if the line up is not too long. The beef noodles were very tasty and the extra beef is worth it. I believe they used the same beef for the hotpot offered for dinner.

Definitely a must in Hong Kong! Heaven for hotpot lover! We went to Big JJ before going airport. Not much time to eat but we made every minute count here. Reservations in advance are recommended, not only for the table but for their signature pork knuckles broth with corn and clams. The restaurant has limited table. Full house even in weekdays. Top notch meat, fresh seafood, fresh vegetables. Flavorful broth. Everything was just perfect for hotpot lover like us 🙏🏼 Staff very nice and helpful from the welcome, menu presentation, provide us details of different meat options and answer our questions. Even help us cook! Can’t wait to be back to Big JJ again

No exaggeration, this is the best restaurant I’ve ever been to in my life. If you like hot pot, this is elite hot pot. Definitely order the fresh slaughtered beef ahead of time and don’t miss out on the “meat balls” and the fried tofu skin. It was addictingly delicious. The vibe is so cool but all laid back and not at all pretentious. The staff are also ridiculously cool in look and vibe. It feels like hanging out with friends. Our servers made top recommendations and even gave us a free beer sample. I will never forget my experience here and will come here every time I come to Hong Kong. I have already recommended it to all of my friends. Note payment is cash only and book ahead online.

The vibe is excellent if you like old school and punk decoration. We came here for lunch rice bowl . All three dishes are tasty. I especially enjoy the sauce that came with the chicken. The pork is also very good. And the spam is thick cut and also well done. There is min one order per person though.

On our last night in Hong Kong, my husband and I were craving hot pot and looked for a spot near our hotel. I had heard about Big JJ Seafood Hot Pot before and decided to give it a try. Luckily, since it was a weeknight, we were able to get a table without a reservation. As soon as we were seated, the staff were incredibly attentive—walking us through the different meat options and answering questions. We were especially fortunate that their signature broth, made with pork bone, knuckle, and clams (usually requiring a reservation), was available that night! The service throughout was excellent, with servers even helping us cook at the table. The whole experience felt cozy, and the meal itself was delicious and comforting—perfect for our final night in the city.
