Hi Hot Pot — Restaurant in Christchurch

We enjoy coming here. It's a good authentic taste and really reminds me of what I've seen in China.

I’m here in Christchurch for a 25-day trip. This is my favorite restaurant in Christchurch. You can choose your favorite ingredients and they make them into a hotpot for you. It’s so delicious that I feel like I could come every day! The staff are really kind, and I’ll definitely come back to...
