It looks like Downtown Vancouver is adding a new hot pot restaurant to its roster!
We spotted signs for Grandjoy Hot Pot at the previous West End family-run Japanese restaurant Avo House, which shuttered back in September 2024.
Right now, it’s complete mystery around the brand, as no information about Grandjoy has surfaced online other than generic job postings.
That means we’re all left guessing—will it follow the trendy self-serve Malatang-style made popular locally by Big Way, where you pay by the weight of your bowl, or stick to the traditional all-you-can-eat format?
The West End has seen its fair share of closures recently, with new concepts eager to fill those empty storefronts.
Grandjoy Hot Pot will join the likes of other anticipated spots such as Sainam in bringing fresh foodie energy back to the neighbourhood.
