18 Street Hot Pot is a modern Chinese food brand proudly born in Australia.
Inspired by the vibrant street food culture across Asia, especially the popular individual-style Malatang, 18 Street Hot Pot reimagines hot pot into a modern, convenient and personalised dining experience.
Traditionally, hot pot is shared around a table, often requiring time, preparation and group dining. We saw an opportunity to create a new way to enjoy hot pot — no cooking required, perfect for one person or any group size, while still preserving the rich flavours and excitement of Asian street food.
At 18 Street Hot Pot, customers simply choose their favourite ingredients, and we take care of the cooking. Using our signature broth and special dry pot seasoning, each bowl is prepared quickly, consistently and full of flavour.
18 Street Hot Pot offers a modern way to enjoy traditional street food – simple, fast, and always satisfying.
Our Growth
The first 18 Street Hot Pot restaurant opened in Adelaide Chinatown, bringing a fresh and exciting dining concept to the local community.
Today, 18 Street Hot Pot has grown into a phenomenon-level Chinese food brand in South Australia. Our restaurants are loved by people of all ages and backgrounds, from students and young professionals to families and food lovers seeking comforting and flavourful meals.
Walk into any 18 Street Hot Pot location, and you will often see a diverse mix of customers – different cultures, languages and stories – all enjoying the same bowl of hot pot, customised to their own taste.
By combining authentic flavours with modern convenience, 18 Street Hot Pot has become a popular destination for those looking for Chinese street food in a contemporary format.
Our goal is simple: to make flavourful Chinese food accessible, enjoyable and consistent, wherever and whenever you crave it.
