Soup Zen Hot Pot draws praise for its innovative pay-by-weight, build-your-own format with a wide range of ingredients, broths, and a sauce bar, plus halal and gluten-free options and complimentary ice cream at the end, which many reviewers love for the extra touch. The experience is described as cozy and fun, with generous portions, fresh ingredients, and friendly staff who explain the process and help when needed. Improvements in kitchen workflow have been noted by some, yet waits and lines persist during peak hours and the space can feel crowded and noisy, with a cold draft near the door and limited privacy due to tight seating. Value is variable, as prices can rise quickly with the weight of items, and a few guests report miscommunications or occasional delays with service or broth choices. Overall quality and variety are highly regarded, and the sauce bar and end dessert are consistently praised, though a minority point to occasional inconsistencies such as missing ingredients, overcooked vegetables, or flavor gaps in certain broths. Still, many say the concept, atmosphere, and overall experience make it worth returning, especially for a comforting meal with friends or family on a cold day.
Vraiment un concept original: on choisit tous les ingrédients que nous voulons & le prix est ensuite déterminé par le poids. Beaucoup de variété & de choix! Il y a également un bar à sauce pour rehausser les saveurs de la soupe. De plus, durant les jours de semaine avant 17h, un thé glacé est offert. Pour finir, un petit cornet de crème glacée est aussi offert comme dessert. Par contre, il y a beaucoup d'attente (peu importe l'heure (nous sommes arrivés à 15:30 & il y avait environ 45 minutes d'attente), donc je recommande de réserver en ligne avant d'arriver. Vraiment une belle place à essayer entre amis!
Cold weather calls for something unapologetically hot.
A self-built hot pot, priced by weight, with over 100 ingredients to choose from. Everything swims in the Signature Broth: beef bones simmered low & slow, Szechuan chili oil bringing the heat, peppercorns delivering that addictive, numbing buzz. Custom comfort, bold spice, & a pot that warms Montréal from the inside out.

Had an amazing time at Soupe Zen Hot Pot! The food was very yummy & the whole experience was fun & enjoyable. Special shoutout to Justin, who went above & beyond to make our experience even better. Highly recommend!
Halal Hot Pot! Really nice atmosphere, good service & the quality of the ingredients does shine. Will definitely come back to this place next time I'm in Montreal.

I rarely, & I mean RARELY give 5 stars to a restaurant, for its food, service & atmosphere. A friend recommended me that place & I did not regret going there.
You can pour your personality & preferences into your bowl, that's how many options they have. I saw at least six different types of mushrooms, premium cuts of meat, fresh veggies, & seafood.
Their broth is rich in taste & texture. I recommend you the special Szechuan broth. Sauce bar is the cherry on top.
& did I mention complimentary ice cream? Ube flavoured on an Oreo cone?
The only problem with this restaurant is a good problem: the line-up if you don't reserve. That's how popular this place is, & it shows the quality.
The place is clean & has a chill personality, & they have halal & gluten-free options.
& the staff is welcoming, & their hospitality is noteworthy. Huge shoutout to our server Miles! Dude, if you are reading this, keep up the great work & hopefully you get a promotion & a raise!
Soup zen was fantastic! Great taste & options! Wish they would add teokbokki. It would taste amazing. Didn't expect it to cost as much as it did, but I chose heavy noodles so I'm sure it didn't help haha my total was $32. The servers didn't check up on us & I had to call them over multiple times. The sauce bar was dirty as well. I wish they had kept it a bit cleaner. The Ube Ice cream with the chocolate cone was delicious as well (the best part). All in all, great experience! Will be back again. I went around 1pm on a friday & the line was out of the door. Wait time wasn't too bad either!
Actually, some situations happen to me & the staff was nice & understanding. The directly believe me & help me. I really like that. I highly recommend. PS: the ice cream was really nice & free

It was my first time & I totally loved it. I like the fact that you choose your own ingredients & select your broth of choice. I loved the fact that they give free ice cream at the end of your meal. Would definitely visit again!!!
Good & fast service (we went on a tuesday at 9pm tho). Food was okay, the ube ice cream was my favorite part. Unfortunately I think I got baf food poisoning. My boyfriend is okay, tho. I don't think I can go back or recommend the place.
il faut se mettre à la liste d'attente car sinon tu attends pendant 30-40 min pour choisir ton bol, & ensuite un autre 30-40 min pour recevoir ton bol avec le bouillon… c'était bon au moins
J'ai adoré mon expérience! J'ai aimée pouvoir choisir ce qui me plaisait vraiment pour mon bol, j'ai eu peur de trop en mettre & j'ai finie par ne pas en mettre assez! 😅 le prix est raisonnable environ 4.50$/100g
Tu peux choisir ton bouillon par la suite ou un bol « sec » . Mon chum a pris le bol sec & s'est ajoutée du riz à l'intérieur avec les sauces c'était délicieux!
Pas de français.
45$ pour une soupe
App de reservations pas fameux
Personne n'explique le fonctionnement
Placé a des tables juste devant la porte & la grande file, beaucoup de bruit & froid avec la porte qui souvre toujours.
