JB Zhu Guang Yu Hot Pot 😍
First post on Lemon8:
Finally tried the famous China hotpot brand newly opened their first branch in JB.
Must try their Mala soup base and Golden chicken soup 😋
They do not take in reservations on weekends (Fri-Sun) so try to be there by 6pm for shorter waiting time (30mins) Zhu Guang Yu Johor Bahru 💰 Price:RM300 for 2 pax Rating /⭐⭐⭐⭐
If you love hotpot, Zhu Guang Yu in Johor Bahru is a fantastic new option to explore. Beyond the popular Mala and Golden Chicken soup bases I tried, their menu offers various fresh ingredients including premium meats, vegetables, and handmade dumplings that complement the flavorful broths perfectly. The ambiance is modern yet cozy, ideal for casual dining with friends or family. Since they don't accept reservations on weekends, I strongly recommend arriving early—around 6pm—to shorten the wait time, which can otherwise stretch beyond 30 minutes. Prices are reasonable, with a typical meal for two costing about RM300, which is worth it considering the quality and taste. Many diners rave about the balance of spice and richness in the broth along with attentive service. For anyone new to Zhu Guang Yu, trying a mix of their soup bases in one pot is a great way to enjoy diverse flavors. If you’re taking photos, the restaurant’s interior and presentation make for great shots to share on social media. Plan your visit on a weekday if possible for a more relaxed experience, or be prepared for a lively crowd enthusiastic about this popular hotpot brand’s arrival in JB.
