Big JJ Seafood Hotpot, the lively, always-buzzing Hong Kong–style hot pot spot on Wo On Lane, has confirmed to Time Out that they’ll be leaving their current address from Chinese New Year in 2026.
Known for its fun, high-energy service, fresh cuts of beef and house-made specials, Big JJ has built a loyal following since opening in 2020. Guests come for their huge variety of broths, bouncy homemade fish balls, freshly fried fish skin and a surprisingly deep wine list – with everything from natural wines to interesting back vintages like a 1992 Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Not what you would usually expect from a hotpot restaurant, but one of the many reasons why we love it.
The team tells us the move is driven mainly by the condition of the current building. “The structure and quality just aren’t ideal,” they say. Space has also been an ongoing issue: “We don’t have enough seats now. The new location will have a much better and bigger kitchen to support demand. Hopefully, we can elevate the food offering to another level.”
While the exact address hasn’t been revealed yet, Big JJ confirms they will stay in core Central, with a projected reopening around March 2026. The new spot is expected to be larger, with upgraded facilities and more room to grow.
We’ll share more details as they come. For now, if you want a last round at the original Wo On Lane space, make sure to go before CNY.
