YX Hot Pot on Bourke Street isn't just your regular hotpot spot; it’s quickly becoming Melbourne's go-to destination for a late-night feast. The three-flavour soup base allows you to customize the richness and intensity, which I found perfect for sharing with friends. The DIY sauce option for $4.90 lets you mix flavors exactly how you like. One thing that stood out to me was the quality of ingredients—the luxury meat combo slices were tender and flavorful, while the snakehead fillets added a wonderful fresh seafood twist. If you are a mushroom lover, the mushroom combo and vegetable platter deliver great variety and freshness that balance the richness of the broth. Dining at YX Hot Pot past midnight is fantastic, especially since they are open until 1AM, perfect for satisfying late cravings. On 3 March, during the Lantern Festival marking the Lunar New Year celebrations, every dine-in table receives free tangyuan, a delightful sweet rice ball dessert in brown sugar syrup, which made the experience even more special. For those who want to indulge without breaking the bank, the 20% discount during special hours makes it more accessible. The deep-fried buns are a surprising hit too – crispy outside and soft inside, a delicious complement to the hotpot. Located conveniently on Level G, 384-386 Bourke Street, YX Hot Pot combines great ambiance with excellent food in Melbourne’s CBD. Whether you're planning a lunch, dinner, or a late-night feast, this place has you covered. I highly recommend tagging your foodie friends and giving it a try especially on festival days for a unique cultural touch.
