Hot pot is a communal dining experience where diners cook fresh ingredients in a simmering pot of flavored broth at their table. It's interactive, social, and allows everyone to customize their meal to their taste preferences.

At LaoPot, you'll select a soup base for your table. We'll bring the hot pot with your chosen broth, along with plates of raw ingredients for you to cook in the broth. You can cook the items at your own pace, dip them in our house-made sauces, and enjoy a delicious, interactive meal.

Yes! We have vegetable-based broths and a wide selection of vegetable ingredients, tofu, and plant-based proteins for our vegetarian and vegan guests. Just let your server know about your dietary preferences.

It can be, but it doesn't have to be! We offer various broth options ranging from mild to spicy. You can choose a non-spicy broth like our mushroom soup base or seafood soup, or go for our signature spicy Lao Pot Special broth if you enjoy heat.
