Big Way Hot Pot is opening a third location on the same Vancouver street

When you think of hot pot in and around Vancouver, the first to come to mind for many is Big Way Hot Pot, and for good reason.
The chain of self-serve hot pot restaurants has taken the area by storm, expanding all across Metro Vancouver and beyond with no signs of stopping. Big Way has grown so popular that it quite often has multiple locations on the same block (like its two outposts in Burnaby) or just a couple of blocks away (like in Richmond).
Now, signs for a new Big Way location have popped up in Vancouver, and it’s the third one along Robson Street.
Big Way is opening a new location at 570 Robson St., taking over the former home of The Halal Guys (which quietly closed its doors last year).
This is just a four-minute walk from its location at 778 Robson St., or a 20-minute walk from its 1479 Robson St. store (or a seven-minute drive).

But this isn’t the only location that the hot pot chain has planned for the new year, as the brand previously shared that it plans to open a number of new locations, including outposts in Tsawwassen, West Vancouver, and Surrey (alongside a new Breka location).
Big Way has gotten its rise to fame through its pay-by-weight model. Guests are given a bowl and tongs when they enter and then are prompted to add whatever ingredients they want to their bowl from a wall of fridges, including plenty of meats, veggies, noodles, and more.
Once guests are happy with their bowl, it is then weighed, and guests are charged by the weight. The ingredients are then cooked in the guest’s broth of choice and are brought to their table.
There are also sauce stations for folks to customize their own dipping sauce, and the restaurant provides complimentary ice cream once you finish your soup.
Big Way Hot Pot’s new Robson location is expected to open sometime in April.
