Jun’s Hot pot

Bundoora's best-value hotpot. rich Sichuan and tube bone broths, generous portions near La Trobe Uni.

A clean, modern hotpot restaurant near La Trobe University in Bundoora. bright, casual dining room with a functional fit-out. DIY sauce station adds an interactive element. The crowd skews young and international, reflecting the local university community. Lively on weekends, more relaxed on weekday lunches.

Two standout soup bases: Sichuan spicy beef and slow-simmered tube bone broth. Daily hand-sliced meats alongside frozen rolls. Handmade shrimp paste and beef balls. DIY sauce station. QR code ordering (predominantly Chinese menu. limited English translation noted). Open Tuesday. Sunday from midday.

Authentic Chinese hotpot format. Sichuan mala broth, tube bone (筒骨) broth, hand-sliced wagyu and freshly made shrimp paste. Menu in Chinese with limited English translation reinforces the authenticity signal. Comparable favourably to Sydney hotpot venues by experienced diners.

Exceptional value for hotpot. two people for around $70 covers a full meal with quality ingredients. Wagyu available at $15.80 per plate. A few reviewers flag the $4 condiment surcharge as unexpected, but the base pricing is significantly lower than Melbourne CBD hotpot venues.
