Guo Fu Hotpot
A long-running individual hotpot specialist with buffet options and free-flow xiao long bao.
Guo Fu Hotpot has been operating in Singapore since 2005 and is known for individual small hotpots rather than one shared pot. The restaurant offers set meals, a la carte and a popular a la carte buffet, with multiple soup bases, meats, seafood, vegetables, mushrooms, dim sum, desserts and house sauces. Its signature positioning is fat cow hotpot with free-flow xiao long bao, making it a practical choice for diners who want personal pots, hygiene, variety and a more wallet-friendly meal in the CBD.
Guo Fu is not the flashiest hotpot restaurant, but it does a very specific job well. Personal pots are useful for groups with different spice levels or dietary preferences, and the buffet format makes the meal feel generous without too much planning. The xiao long bao offer is a clear crowd-puller. The trade-off is that the setting is more functional than luxurious, so come for variety and value rather than a polished night out.
Its longevity, individual-pot format and strong value proposition make it one of Singapore's most practical hotpot options, especially for office crowds and mixed-preference groups.
