Damiao Hotpot Melbourne 大妙火锅 · 川菜

Skip the overpriced spots—Damiao is where you go for a legitimate, unapologetically authentic Chengdu feast. Perched above Elizabeth Street, this sprawling all-you-can-eat Sichuan setup is a masterclass in massive flavor and unbeatable value. Serious broth chasers are obsessed with their Si Gong Ge—the traditional four-grid pot—letting you bubble up to four distinct soups at zero extra charge. (The rich tomato and earthy mushroom bases are absolute knockouts). Expect a relentless rotation of premium marbled meats, crisp local veggies, and piping-hot fried appetizers. A fast-paced, high-energy room. Flawless ingredients. The DIY station begs for your best ma jiang concoction. Just save room to hit the dessert bar for a post-mala ice cream cooldown.
