Les convives sont invités à découvrir une diversité de viandes finement tranchées, de fruits de mer frais, de légumes croquants et de dumplings faits maison, tous préparés à être mijotés dans leur marmite choisie. Le menu met l'accent sur la nature interactive et conviviale du repas fondue, permettant à chacun de personnaliser son plat selon ses préférences personnelles. Cet établissement est réputé pour son engagement à offrir un voyage culinaire délicieux et engageant, en faisant une destination de choix pour ceux qui recherchent un repas unique et satisfaisant dans un cadre animé.
Soup Zen Hot Pot est largement reconnu pour son concept interactif et personnalisable, où les clients composent leurs bols avec des ingrédients frais pesés avant d'être servis dans des bouillons savoureux. De nombreux convives apprécient la qualité des plats, la variété des options incluant des choix halal et végétaliens, ainsi que la crème glacée offerte en fin de repas. Bien que l'expérience soit souvent décrite comme amusante, chaleureuse et idéale entre amis, le restaurant est fréquemment très fréquenté, ce qui entraîne des temps d'attente prolongés et une certaine promiscuité. Les avis sur le rapport qualité-prix varient selon les sélections, et si le personnel est souvent salué pour son professionnalisme et sa gentillesse, certains visiteurs signalent des irrégularités dans le service, des défis organisationnels ou des problèmes de propreté lors des périodes d'affluence.
My favourite soup spot in downtown Montreal, love the cozy atmosphere, the broth options, the selection for vegetables, & meat! I also love that it is halal !
Service is great & the UBE Ice Cream is so yummy !
My husband & I have been to a lot of Hot Pot restaurants in Taiwan so were curious to see how the Zen HotPot compared. We were a table of 6 on a Saturday night. It was very busy but we were able to book in online & were seated once we all arrived. There is a great selection of items to choose from to put in your soup......various types of thinly sliced meats, lobster & fish balls, Basa Fish, vegetables, noodles etc.
You grab a bowl & a pair of tongs as you enter, pick the ingredients that you want & then pass it to the cashier who weighs your bowl & asks you what type of broth you'd like. Both my husband & I chose the'Signature Broth', medium spicy. We both like spice/heat but I wouldn't have wanted it any spicier. They have a nice selection of broths including a Tom Yum flavoured broth & even a Vegan Mushroom broth.
The cashier passes your bowl on to the kitchen who cook up all the ingredients up for you & eventually it is served to you at your table. For some reason, two of our party of 6 had their soup delivered long after the rest of us which was too bad.
If you have leftovers they do have Take Out bowls which you can bring home which is nice. Once you're finished they offer free Ube Ice Cream cones. Delicious & a nice way to finish the meal.
So I joined their waiting list & was literally 2 minutes away parking when they removed my name from the list. I got to the restaurant & it was packed because a party of 30 had decided to come in for dinner.
I explained my situation to the waitress (she was a hijabi). She did her best. The girl got me & my husband a table. Both her & a male colleague really helped in accommodating us, they even helped fast track our order since we were stuck behind the party of 30. Kudos to the two of them 👏 🙌
As for the food, I got the signature broth & my husband got the Tom yum broth. Both tasted amazing. We made sure to get mushroom & the meat cuts. A lot of the processed meats, like fish balls, left a lot to be desired. But overall, they had a decent selection.

I've never had an experience like this before. We were a group of five, & everything was just impressive.
If you arrive before 5 PM, you'll be offered a complimentary cold drink, which is a great start. I ordered smoked duck with a variety of fresh vegetables, mushrooms, & even dumplings.
They offer a wide selection of broths, including spicy options with three different levels. I think there were at least 4-5 types, if not more. What I found really interesting is that you can choose your own ingredients based on your taste, & even sample the broths before making your choice.
After you've made your selection, your food is weighed-which is a fun concept-& then prepared for you. By the time it arrives, you realize you've probably ordered enough for two people 😉
& the best part? They serve a special type of ice cream for free after your meal, which was absolutely delicious.
I honestly loved everything, especially the positive energy & lively atmosphere. I almost forgot-they also serve a complimentary welcome snack with chips & sauce, which was amazing.
In my opinion, this place is a beautiful fusion of French & Chinese culinary art. Thank you for giving us the chance to experience a new flavor & culture.
So disappointed by the value & service. Despite a large staff presence, service was inconsistent & slow-some of orders didn't arrive until more than 45 minutes after ordering, while some of my friend's dishes were served promptly. The soup tasted overly artificial, lacking the rich, nutty flavor I'd hoped for.

Updated Review:
I can see that there have been improvements in the kitchen workflow compared to my previous visit. The service feels more organized, & the overall experience has improved.
That said, there is still some waiting time during peak hours, so it may take a bit longer to receive your food when it's busy.
On a positive note, the menu now offers a wider selection, & the flavors have improved as well, making the dining experience more enjoyable than before.

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! 💯✨
Amazing hot pot with many options. A huge selection of seafood, mushrooms, meats. A bit pricey if you go overboard with your selection so watch the weight of your pot. The service is truly amazing. The icing on the cake? Its halal!

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.
