Build your own soup at new hot pot spot in the San Gabriel Valley
San Gabriel Valley residents can now become their own chefs with the opening of Big Way Hot Pot in Monterey Park, a growing chain that’s hoping to inspire young diners to create their own personalized dishes.
“The concept of the customizable personalize DIY style is very popular now and we’re very popular with the young generation,” said Christiana Luo, co-founder and chief brand officer of Big Way Hot Pot.
The new spot marks the second Los Angeles area location for the Canadian-based hot pot restaurant chain, following its first restaurant opening in Rowland Heights earlier this year.
When diners enter the new 2,500-square-foot space at 500 N. Atlantic Blvd., they’ll be able to create their own hot pot dishes by picking from more than 80 ingredients that include meats, vegetables, seafood and noodles which are then added to about 10 broth options. The broth flavors include a spicy soup made with Szechuan chili oil, a tomato broth, Tom Yum, Collagen Bone and the signature Malatang Style spicy broth. Once diners build their own bowls they pay by the weight of the dish they created.

“You have so many choices so people get so excited about this journey of picking all you’re own ingredients,” Luo said.
Big Way Hot Pot also specializes in Bobas with around 40 different options including spiked beverages for adults with drinks like the Lychee Spiked Sparkling made with vodka, the Brown Sugar Spiked Bliss with Baileys and the Citrus Spiked Boba with vodka. The restaurant has 13 locations in British Columbia, Ontario and the U.S.
The new spot is at 500 N. Atlantic Blvd., Monterey Park. For more information go to www.bigwayhotpot.com
