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.

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!

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!!!

Very fun & interesting concept. You are given a large bowl & tongs & invited to select items from a buffet. All meat, fish, pasta, veggies are in separate bowls placed on ice. There are gluten-free options. Then you select your broth of choice, it arrives piping hot at your table.

Update: Well they're increasing the prices to 4.59/100g. Majorly disappointed. Oh & I noticed that if your pot is lighter, they'll add less broth too, so much for the'free' label.
Servers are nice, food is halal, will be back. It's weighed at 3.99$ per 100g, the broth is technically free but the pot itself is heavy. You wait to be seated then you go to the front, grab a golden pot & tongs, select your toppings, pay for them & they give you a number sign, you go sit down & they bring your cooked pot to your table. Don't forget to add side toppings & sauces from the counter near the washrooms. Love the topping bar & the free ice cream cone at the end! It's really good ice cream in a delicious waffle cone. I'd recommend the beef bone broth for first timers, it's the easiest flavour for beginners. Oh & don't buy the mango cheese foam tea, it's not good. The only issue I see here is that there are flies buzzing around & that the containers don't have lids & the flies might be buzzing in the kitchen too. They should do smth about the flies. I paid 20$ on first visit & 29.76 on second visit. The amazing part is that they have tooth floss picks & q-tips near the washrooms for your end of meal dental needs!

The first few times I came during summer, the service was good most likely because there were less people. But when I came yesterday, it was very chaotic. The cashier was not understanding the soup base I wanted & I had to make sure she got it right. Even then when my husband & I received our soup, they had mixed up both our broths. He wanted spicy tomato & I wanted no spice for mine. When I asked the server, she brought my soup back to the kitchen. I thought they were going to remake it from scratch but ended up just dumping out some of the spicy soup & diluting it. By the time I got my soup, all the vegetables were very wilted & still spicy since it soaked up the old broth & my noodles got soggy. I was really disappointed that they didn't remake it since it was their mistake. My husband was fine since he was able to add spice to his at least. Overall the concept is interesting but doesn't work since vegetables cook faster so you end always end up with things that are overcooked.

Everything here is halal, including the broths 🙌 - I checked before going in, & they confirmed it. It's such a relief to enjoy a full hot pot experience without worrying about ingredients! 🥘✨
There's so much variety to pick from - meats, veggies, noodles, & a great seafood selection 🦐🐙. I went with the plain beef broth & mixed my own sauces (perfect for customizing spice levels 🔥). Also got a small tom yum on the side just to try - totally worth it 😋.
The ambience is cozy & clean, with a modern feel. The gold cutlery looks gorgeous against the pastel walls - such a pretty, classy combo 💛🎨. Even the washrooms were spotless, which says a lot about how well they maintain the place 🚻✨.
The staff - from cashier to servers - were all super friendly, professional, & kind 👏. Loved that they even offer take-away bowls so nothing goes to waste ♻?.
& omg the ice cream at the end 🍦 - I don't even know what flavour it was, but it was so delicious! I asked for two & they actually said yes 😂💜.
⚠? Tip: There's usually a wait time, so it's smart to join the waitlist 10 minutes before arriving.
🚗 Parking: Street parking outside - if you're lucky, you'll grab a spot!
Great food, halal-friendly, & all-around good vibes. Definitely coming back! 💯✨

Wow! What an incredible hotpot place 😍🔥 You can pick your own ingredients & choose your broth too! They even gave me ice cream for dessert 🍦 It's the perfect spot to come back to in winter or autumn ❤?🤗

Pretty standard build-your-own hotpot location. Bright & spacious, with a unique earthy palette. They have more unique offerings than most places, like smoked duck breast, fried egg, & zig-zag-cut fried tofu.
I got the tomato broth, it had strong tomato flavours, but was very one-note. I needed to add complexity to it at the sauce bar, which in contrast, had limited options.
They give everybody ube ice cream at the end, it was very pleasant, rich, creamy, with strong ube notes.

The concept is awesome & the food was good overall - However - while there are vegan options, the tofu tasted fishy, which was off-putting (probably because people use the same tongs for getting different ingredients)
The mushroom broth had very little flavor, but I look forward to trying the tomato broth next time.
I do wish they cut the ingredients smaller so that they cooked a bit more. The harder veggies like carrots & broccoli are still hard

Food: Fresh ingredients & decent broth, with lots of variety.
Cultural issue: This isn't really hotpot in the traditional sense. What Soup Zen serves is much closer to Chinese málàtàng - a Sichuan street food style where you pick your ingredients & they're cooked in spicy broth & served individually. Hotpot, by contrast, is a shared, communal meal. The restaurant markets everything as'hotpot' &'Asian fusion' without ever acknowledging malatang or Sichuan origins, which feels like a missed opportunity & a flattening of culture.
Atmosphere: The interior is styled more like a European café than an Asian eatery. It doesn't match the cuisine's roots & makes the experience feel more like a concept restaurant than something tied to its heritage.
Overall: Good food, but I'd like to see Soup Zen respect the distinction between hotpot & malatang & give proper credit to its Chinese/Sichuan roots. Some cultural acknowledgment & more fitting decor would go a long way.

I found the tomato broth is so delicious.They also have many options for vegetarian too & the ube ice cream is very yummy.

⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐? - Fantastic'Make Your Own Ramen' Experience!
What an amazing find! This place lets you build your own ramen from a vast selection of broths, noodles, proteins, & toppings-so you can make it exactly the way you like it. Every bowl comes with a bonus ice cream, & the portions are generous enough that you'll appreciate the take-out boxes they provide.
I also loved the thoughtful touches-free refill water with lime right at the entrance, friendly staff, & a welcoming atmosphere. The flavors were rich, the ingredients fresh, & the whole experience felt fun & relaxed.

I really enjoy your food & have been a regular customer since you opened. However, I wanted to share some feedback about my recent takeout order.
In the past, when I ordered my favorite soup for takeout, I always received a full bowl of ingredients & a separate full bowl of broth - since everything doesn't fit in one container. This time, I was given only one bowl, with almost no broth, so it didn't really feel like a soup. When I asked about it, I was told it might be because I took fewer ingredients, but that's not the case.
Additionally, there was no handle bag provided. Carrying hot soup in just a plastic wrap is not safe & quite inconvenient. I understand you're still working on your takeout format, but it's been almost two months since opening. I'd strongly suggest at least providing standard paper bags with handles to make it safer & more comfortable for customers.
I'm sharing this because I really like your restaurant & want to keep coming back, but I hope these points can be improved soon.
Thank you for your attention.

5 stars ⭐? although, i wish we knew that the time on the wait list is different than the actual wait time. Fortunately the wait was really worth it, because the food is fresh, the broth is delicious & the service is quick & efficient. One of the best malatangs I have had
Daphné
It was a great experience, the staff was very nice & the dining room was very comfortable. These kind of places are expensive, so do not expect to pay under 20 dollars if you pack ur bowl like crazy. I took a small bowl & pack it up with just enough for my meal & it ended up being 17$, which is very reasonable as I've been to other places that have the same concept that charge more. In the end the food & the broth was great & I loved the sauce bar to spice up my broth.

The reservation/waitlist button on the website did not work, so we decided to stop by for a weekday lunch. Thankfully, it was not crowded, & we had a great overall experience. Service was attentive, & the food was fresh & flavourful.
There was a wide variety of vegetables, meats, tofu, & noodles to choose from. We tried the signature broth & sukiyaki broth-both were rich in flavour, though the sukiyaki was a bit too sweet for our taste.
The DIY sauce station was a nice touch, & free ice cream at the end was a pleasant surprise. We also appreciated the complimentary lemon-infused water, which meant we did not need to order drinks.
Since pricing is based on weight, a tip would be to select wisely-lighter items like veggies & meat strips helped us keep the total cost lower than expected, even with a generous portion of meat.

I like their simple concept of picking your ingredients then pick a soup base. The ingredients offered are pretty basic, they are stuffs that you'll usually find in a hotpot. Their signature broth is pretty good too. The most Zen spicy option is delicious! Weirdly I loved the lively color of the place but somehow it also felt mismatched against the type of food served. The colorfulness felt more suiting for a fancy dessert place.

8/10 - Tasty halal hot pot spot! 🍲
Broth & sides were great, but meat selection could be better. Solid experience overall.
Sah
Absolutely delicious! You chose your own ingredients & broth, & then make your little sauce on the side. They weigh your ingredients alone first & you pay according to that. Mine was pretty full with 2 types of noodles (the plate in the front) & it came to around 20$ after tax. The staff is also very friendly & welcoming. We went there on a Tuesday evening for a table of 4 & we didn't have to wait, so I recommend going during the weekdays. (You also get a free little ice cream at the end!!) Definitely going back again to try the different broths.
