La Jiang Shan is a hotpot buffet restaurant located in Parklane Mall at Dhoby Ghaut that offers a personal hotpot and grill experience. Each diner can select their choice of soup base and there’s no competition for grill space as each diner has a personal grill pan.
La Jiang Shan Hotpot stood out for its affordable price point as a buffet, and the large variety of ingredient selection to choose from. The quality of the food is decent and is good value for the price you pay for free flow.

La Jiang Shan Hotpot Menu
Soup Selection
There is a choice between a single pot or a twin pot (2 flavours). The twin pot was slightly more expensive by ~$2 but I chose that because I wanted to have a spicy soup base and a drinkable soup base.
Soup options available:
- Spicy Beef Butter Soup
- Spicy Ma La Hot Pot
- Spicy Homemade Hot Pot
- Homemade Tomato Soup
- Pig Trotters Soup
- Fresh Mushroom Soup
- Thai Style Tom Yum Soup
- Herbal Chicken Soup
- Sour and Spicy Soup
- Sweet Corn Chicken Soup
- Rich Laksa
What we tried:
- Spicy Beef Butter Soup: Strong beef broth flavour which was nice, but it was not as spicy as expected
- Homemade Tomato Soup: It’s okay, can’t beat HDL or BITP but for the price difference it’s really not bad.
- Rich Laksa: Not spicy
Meat & Seafood
Quite a large variety of meat options from chicken, pork, beef, lamb and fish. For chicken and pork they had both seasoned and unseasoned meat options.
Seafood options included prawns, squid, mussels, bamboo clams, gong gong, scallop and salmon head.
Others included seaweed chicken, cheeseballs, sausages & more.
There were just too many choices and we weren’t able to try everything, but my favourite was the superior beef.
Vegetables & Others
They had a whole typical mala size fridge dedicated to vegetables & others stuff.
Vegetables include broccoli, cabbage, xiao bai cai, lettuce & more. They also had typical items in mala shops like tofu skin, flat sweet potato noodles, seaweed, lotus root, potato and so much more.
You will also have access to free flow eggs, noodles, XL xiao long bao and rice.
Condiments, Drinks & Desserts
Condiments
The condiment section is not as grand as other upscale hotpot places but it has almost everything you would need.
They even had salt, so I made my own salmon head shioyaki!
Drinks
The drink refill bar cost additional money and had 3 options:
- Lime
- Fruit Punch
- Blackcurrant
I would recommend just getting the a la carte drinks (canned drinks, beer) if you’re not going for volume and want something that tastes nicer and more familiar.
Dessert
Dessert options were mainly prepackaged stick ice creams. They also have this ice maker machine but I didn’t see anyone eating this.

Restaurant Experience, Crowd & Seating
The dining experience is unique where each diner gets a personal shelf to place their food. If the restaurant is crowded, you will need to share the shelf with the other person across from you.
They have quite a large number of seats. But as the seats are located fairly near one another, it can be a little squeezy if the restaurant is full. It was fine when we visited, only got a bit squeezy when a group sat back to back behind us toward the end of our meal.
I loved the lantern decor!
One important thing to note is that you will leave the place smelling like BBQ. My clothes and bag were tainted with the smell of food after we left. I wouldn’t recommend visiting if you’re wearing fancy clothes or carrying a nice bag.
