Dragon’s Journey Hotpot JB

Well deserving of their excellent Google rating. Attentive, friendly and efficient service. The soups were all tasty even before cooking the ingredients, the mala was a standout. The meat was cut to order. Nothing dried out from sitting on the counter. Prawns were peeled perfectly, leaving the heads for flavor and the tails for holding. A huge selection of dishes including some more unusual ones eg intestines, kidney, brain etc. Almost all the dishes were good to excellent.

Have been wanting to try this place for ages and finally got a chance to visit. Make a reservation for a weekend dinner, arrived 5 minutes before and was waiting to get in. Communication with the staff could be better. It was our timeslot and the staff asked me for my details and then he walked in and we followed thinking he was to show us to the table but halfway he turned around and saw us and said he told us to wait outside. The ambience is pretty good here and there are 3 different types of buffet and also the ala carte version available. We took the middle priced one and there are individual menus we can order from based on the buffet type. The soups here are definitely good and I thought was one of the better ones for hotpot. We ordered quite a lot about 20 items at one go for the first round. It was quite filling we never knew we were struggling to finish and we couldn't order anymore food when there were still many other options available. Overall quite an enjoyable experience just disappointed we were so weak couldn't eat much compared to other diners. Price was also quite reasonable and its worth giving a try. If you are a beef lover looking for premium cuts then the highest tier buffet would be the most value for money. There is an interesting machine to try it out at the entrance as you are leaving as it can help to remove the hotpot or bbq odour just by standing in front of it. Recommended.

We love this place and the service is very prompt and efficient. When one finished a plate and next moment it was quietly and non-invasively taken away! The food variety is well-spread and nice! The grilled prawns are flavourfully done without being too salty. The salt was just nice. Soup bases are great.

Dragon’s Journey Hotpot has become my go to whenever a proper hotpot craving hits. I’ve returned enough times to say this confidently. I prefer it over HDL or BIAP. The experience here just feels more thoughtful. They offer three buffet tiers, each unlocking more premium ingredients, including A5 wagyu at the higher levels. The range is solid, but what really stands out is the service. They peel prawns for you, check if you’d like help cooking certain items, and even bring fans over when the heat from the pot gets intense. Honestly, I’d come back just for the prawn peeling service alone. Soup bases are strong. I personally love the pig stomach pepper soup. Deep, comforting, and flavourful. Ingredient wise, they carry items you don’t always see everywhere, like beef tongue and duck blood pudding, which adds variety beyond the usual selections. If you time your visit right, there’s sometimes a face changing performance which adds a fun touch to the experience. Practical details are also well handled. Toilets are clean, they provide single use mouthwash sachets, and there’s a clothes freshener machine at the entrance to get rid of hotpot smells before you leave. One thing to note is that half portions here are still quite generous. Order mindfully. Wastage is charged at RM10 per 100g. Overall, great food, standout service, and thoughtful touches that keep me coming back.
