The ever-growing Big Way Hot Pot chain is set to open a new location in Kerrisdale, taking over the space formerly occupied by Gram Pancake Cafe.
This expansion marks another milestone for the popular hot pot brand which already has 4 operating locations in Metro Vancouver.
The Journey of Big Way
Big Way Hot Pot, which began its journey on Kingsway in 2021, is the brainchild of a seasoned mom-and-pop duo with rich experience in the hot pot industry, including stints at Boiling Point and Dolarshop.
Their expertise has helped Big Way quickly become a favourite among local hot pot enthusiasts.
What makes Big Way so attractive is its pick-and-choose hot pot style. Customers can select from an array of over 100 fresh ingredients, ranging from various seafood options to a plethora of vegetables and noodles.
The weight of the bowl determines the price, allowing for a customizable dining experience to suit every appetite and budget.
The restaurant offers over six soup bases, including popular choices like Malatang and Collagen Bone Broth, along with seasonal additions like Kimchi and the most recent Sukiyaki broth. This variety ensures that every visit can be a new flavour exploration!
(ahem Collagen broth is supreme though)
A meal at Big Way isn’t complete without their complimentary soft-serve ice cream, uniquely served in charcoal cones from a Victoria-based supplier.
Interior Design: Adapting to the Locale
Big Way is known for adapting its interiors to match the local vibe and demographic.
While the Richmond outlet boasts a traditional Chinese aesthetic with modern gold accents, and the Kingsway location appeals to young families with its bright and spacious design, the upcoming Kerrisdale location is expected to feature its own unique interior style.
According to the Big Way team, the Kerrisdale location is slated to open by the end of January 2024.
