Big Way Hot Pot To Open Second Richmond Outpost Next Week + Announces 5 New Locations

Update: Big Way has delayed the soft opening to July 17th

Hot pot lovers, listen up!

Big Way, the city’s go-to self-serve hot pot brand, is once again expanding and continuing its local dominance.

They are gearing up to open its second Richmond location on Ackroyd Road, right in the same plaza as PriceSmart.

It will start welcoming guests on July 16, 2024, and no doubt it will be yet another packed location.

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.

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.

You’ll often see individuals on social media guessing the cost of their bowl as a fun trend.

To top it off, every meal ends with a free ice cream cone, making the experience sweet from start to finish.

One thing the Big Way team does is make each location’s interior fresh and different from each other.

The Ackroyd location is sleek and modern, considerably different from its other Richmond outpost that mixes traditional Chinese aesthetics and gold accents.

The design features clean lines, with geometric lighting on the ceiling that adds a cool, futuristic vibe.

Big Way continues to expand as they have six new spots in Metro Vancouver and its first two U.S. locations in Los Angeles in its pipeline.

For the local scene, the next openings include:

  • Big Way UBC – August 2024
  • Big Way Coquitlam – Fall 2024
  • Big Way New Westminster – Fall 2024
  • Big Way Langley – Early 2025
  • Big Way Lougheed, Burnaby, BC – Winter 2025

It is no doubt that Metro Vancouver can’t get enough of Big Way, and the brand isn’t stopping anytime soon in its local dominance.

Mark your calendars for July 17, 2024, and get ready to build your hotpot dreams at the new Ackroyd Road location.
