A busy joint! My friend suggested this place for hot pot and we met up for dinner one night on my recent trip to Toronto. I am so glad we tried this joint. We ordered the Fried Tofu Skin With Fish Paste along with the House Special White Pepper Chicken and Pork Stomach Hotpot. Very tasty soup base indeed. We also got the Salted Fish With Minced Pork Clay Pot Rice. Delicious meal and it was a lot of food for us but we really enjoyed

We had the chicken hot pot here and really enjoyed it. The soup was clean and light — not too oily or heavy. You can truly feel that it’s a broth meant to be drunk, not just used for cooking, which we really appreciated. Everything that came with the hot pot also felt very fresh, clean, and healthy. From the presentation to the ingredients, it gave a comforting and wholesome impression. Overall, a great place if you’re looking for a clean, nourishing hot pot. Would definitely recommend 👍

The food is decent, and there are several similiar resturants around cities. The place is clean, and the service is good. The best part ? Customers celebrating their birthday week receive a 12% discount !

Great Cantonese food after mahjong night, but be ready to wait (especially on weekends) Six of us booked a table here for dinner after a short mahjong session at a friend’s house. This was my first time dining in, though a few of our group had been here before and they recommended it – and now I see why. The food is really good: tasty, authentic Cantonese / Hong Kong–style dishes that feel like proper comfort food, especially if you’re used to that local HK taste. This place is famous for its hot pot and clay pot rice, and we went all in with two “two flavours of your choice” hot pots: 1. Hong Kong style satay premium beef slices hot pot 2. House special white pepper chicken and pork stomach hot pot Both were excellent. I was especially impressed by the satay soup base – I’ve made my own satay broth at home before, but I actually love their version too. It’s rich, fragrant, and has a few layers of flavour that work perfectly with instant noodles or rice. The white pepper hot pot was also good, though I’ve had similar versions elsewhere, so it didn’t surprise me as much. We also ordered: - Classic Sausage and Dried Pork Rice - Dried Mushroom with Chicken Rice - Sizzling Casserole Sauced Chicken with Rice Roll - Fried dumplings Everything tasted good – well‑seasoned, good portions, and very satisfying during a weekend night. The space itself is nice and practical, not the fancy type: the interior design is clean and modern, lighting is bright (just right for a dinner out), and seating is quite comfortable. We had a round table, which was perfect for sharing all the dishes family‑style, the way we usually eat. The one big downside – and it’s a real one – is the wait time. Even though we booked a table in advance, we still had to wait about 45 minutes for our seats. For many people, that’s quite unacceptable, especially on a weekend evening when you’re already hungry and just want to eat, chat, and relax. It felt like we were wasting time waiting instead of enjoying the evening at our friend’s house, and some of us were pretty upset. It’s clear the place is very popular, but the situation or the management side seems a bit off that night. If you go, I’d strongly suggest trying off‑peak hours (maybe a weekday or earlier in the evening) to avoid this frustration. Overall, the food is definitely worth it – authentic, tasty, and great for a group who likes to share. Just go in with the tip above, and I hope you don’t run into the same long wait. Let me know if you try it – I’d love to hear what you ordered and what you thought!

First time visited The Big Casserole last Sunday at about 11:30 noon. Somehow it was soon almost full house within the next hour. The dining place is big enough to serve up from 1 or 2 to a group of friends , family. So, the environment can be a bit noisy but acceptable. Quite many choices of food, from clay pot rice, hot pot, dumpling etc, which is great. Clay pot rice and dumpling taste ok. However, the fried dumpling can be slight oily. Good to pair with little hot pot soup with greens. Service is fast and friendly. Shall return to try others in the future.
