Mr Wang Hot Pot Aldgate

All the ingredients are super fresh! Especially the prawns and enoki mushrooms, which are usually easy to go bad, but here they were really fresh and tasty. They also offer a wide variety of choices: different kinds of meatballs, vegetables, beef and lamb rolls, thick-cut meat slices, and even squid tentacles! I also really liked how the vegetables and meats are weighed together, no need to separate them, which makes it very convenient. This time, I tried the milk and tomato soup bases, both were delicious! The tomato base felt just like eating a mini hot pot. You can dip your food in sauces from the sauce bar, which had a great selection including sesame paste and sesame oil, just like in a traditional hotpot.

This was one of the best mala tang experiences I’ve had! The soup base was creamy, spicy, and packed with deep, rich flavor. All the ingredients were fresh and cooked just right—especially the noodles, sliced potatoes, and tofu, which soaked up the broth perfectly. The heat level was just enough to give a nice kick without overpowering the taste. Portion size was generous, and the presentation looked so appetizing. If you’re a fan of spicy comfort food, this place is a must-try. I’ll definitely be coming back for another bowl soon!

Went to Mr Wang Hot Pot (王贵仁麻辣烫) after work with a friend — here’s a quick (and very subjective) review! For context, I love spicy food, but my friend can’t handle spice and prefers lighter flavors. 🔥 First of all, we were pleasantly surprised — every customer there that day got a free portion of crayfish! (Must be a limited-time promo.) It was really tasty and fresh. 🏠 The restaurant was clean and quite packed, which is always a good sign. And the playlist? Basically my personal playlist — great vibe overall. 🥘 I ordered the mild spicy dry pot, but honestly, it wasn’t spicy at all. It tasted more like sesame paste than anything spicy. If you love heat, definitely go for medium or extra spicy. Mild is way too safe. 🍜 Pro tip: Be cautious with carbs! I added noodles, and somehow they kept multiplying like magic. The more I ate, the more it felt like there was still left... 😅 🦐 I added lots of shrimp and was really impressed with the quality — super fresh and deveined. Highly recommend adding fried dough sticks (油条) too — they get chewy after being boiled, so satisfying! 🍧 The ice jelly had a refreshing coconut-jasmine flavor. Light, slightly icy, not too sweet — better as a drink than a dessert, and perfect after something oily. 🍅 My friend got the tomato soup base, which was mild and perfect for anyone who can’t take spice. She was shocked (in a good way) to find salted egg yolk rice cakes in there — something we’ve never seen at any other hot pot spot. We also shared a cold cucumber and squid tentacle salad — huge pieces, super refreshing, and I didn’t find it spicy at all. Another highlight: the cheese-stuffed fish tofu — rich but not greasy, and really satisfying. 📍Mr Wang Hot Pot 18D Mansell Street, London E1 8AA 🕛 Open daily: 12:00 – 22:00 Definitely worth a visit, especially if you want a mix of flavors and spice levels for different preferences. I’ll be back for that extra spicy next time!

This is hands down my favourite spot to grab a comforting bowl of Malatang after work. The ingredients are fresh, with a huge variety to choose from(my personal favourite: cheese stuffed fish tofu, lobster balls, and those ridiculously bouncy squid tentacles). Everything gets cooked in a proper little clay pot. I tried the mild spicy milky broth for the first time and it was so good! I don’t even drink the soup, but the flavour soaks into everything. It’s spot on. Prices are decent, service is quick, and you always walk out warm, full, and a bit more human than when you walked in. If you work anywhere near Aldgate and need a proper comforting meal, this place is 100% worth it.

Best hot pot ever. Pick n mix ingredients are fun, fresh and tasty with some cool unusual things to try. The broth is deep down savoury flavour. Lots of free toppings. Don't normally go for hot pot but this place is the bomb. Super friendly staff too. Thanks!

definitely love it, so many selections of meats and vegetables. Restaurant looks very clean and tidy, milk soup base is my favorite, recommend everyone try that! I brought my friends to go with me and we both enjoyed it!!

It was quick service, fresh food, authentic Chinese style fast hotpot. Perfect spot for 2 ppl coming in for a quick Lunch or Dinner. Highly recommend milk mild spicy and dry hotpot style! It’s usually so busy so make sure you arrive at a good time or call in advance.
