Charcoal Pot Bbq & Hotpot

Charcoal Pot Harbourside offers good experience of having hot pot & BBQ on the same table. There is also a generous sauce bar with a great abundance of different ingredients and condiments. However, I have to say that this place is absolutely overpriced. For $120, the food items are a little less for two people and did not fill up my stomach. The broth was clear and tasteless. Service was slow but the staff were quite friendly and tried their best to attend to our needs.

My main problem is how expensive everything was. $14 for a small bowl of 'premium' lamb meat slices seems almost outrageous and doesn't taste any different from the regular meats you can buy from Chinese shops. $3/pp for sauces which you have to get. $17 just for the soup base (up to $19 if you want laksa or house spicy). $3 for a small attachment of butter corn (make sure you add salt and pepper to yours for actual flavour). $3 for cheese that was plain and watery and clumpy. $3 for egg omelet which won't even be finished cooking by the time you eat everything (don't forget to salt). $6 dollars for a small patch of vegetables or mushrooms. The sets are good if you want to try a little bit of everything, but then I feel that they don't give you enough meat to justify the cost. Some of the meats are not even salted and most of the beef are very tough (we tried a range of cooking times from medium rare to medium). The pork was fine. There is nothing on the menu that seem value for the amount that you're paying, and the end products aren't even of premium quality. The concept is great, cooking temperatures are ideal from the charcoal and the hotpot doesn't boil off immediately. However this restaurant will either need to reduce the costs or improve the quantity and quality (or all of the above!).

I loved this place, we got hot pot（Laksa soup）and BBQ at the same time. Really nice! And you can get your own sauces. Cube Roll is big and tasty. Sliced lamb and beef are delicious that cooked with Laksa soup. There is no bone in Chicken wings，easy to eat. Chief's Signature four flavour pork really juicy and it does not taste greasy with sauces.

Loved the experience of choosing hot pot & bbq style but can be on the pricier side. With unlimited sauce options ($3pp), and selections for both bbq and hotpot, the only thing you have to worry about is trying not to dip the wrong sauce or use the wrong cooking method 😅. Although, this does make it a fun experiment!⁣

Interesting concept (BBQ and hotpot combined), but aside from the novelty, it's not that groundbreaking. Food seemed expensive for small portions. The BBQ and hotpot don't really go together, and the end result is that the BBQ grill is small, and the hotpot bit that you can boil is quite inconvenient as it is just a ring around the BBQ grill. The soup bases were quite good, and you can make your own sauces to your liking, but it's just really expensive. Service was friendly

The restaurant is located on Lv 2 of the shopping center in darling harbor, which can satisfy your willingness of having hotpot and bbq together. The wagyu beef is so amazing and worth trying. Fried chicken legs also left deep impression. Unlimited buffet offers you a good reason to forget about keeping fit.

Beautiful seating and atmosphere. The staff er attentive and cery serviceminded. We tried the laksa soup base with various veggies, wagyu meat and beef slices with meatballs. Everything tastes amazing full of flavour and quality meat. The combination of hotpot and grill is excellent and makes the experience more satisfying. Will definitely be returned. Much recommended.
