A few words from people who have eaten here recently.
“Mad Pot is our go-to whenever we’re craving something spicy, comforting, and packed with flavour. What I love most is the huge variety of ingredients available. Whether you’re after meat, seafood, vegetables, tofu, fish balls, mushrooms, or noodles, there’s plenty to choose from and it’s easy to customise your bowl how you like it.”
“I very rarely give 5 stars, usually reserved for places that really wow me. But this place is just consistently so good. So much flavor, umami deliciousness. I recommend the non soup version. I go for extra hot but I do love spice, so be careful if you can’t handle too much heat.”
“One of my favorite restaurants in Auckland region! I come here every week! The soup is super delicious, lots of ingredient (vegetables, meat, meatball etc) to choose and they are always fresh and the prices are reasonable and affordable.”
“I recently tried this mala dish and it was absolutely delicious! The broth was rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced with a spicy kick. All the ingredients tasted fresh, especially the meat and vegetables, and they soaked up the flavorful soup really well.”
