My Favorite Hotpot Buffet in Madrid

My friends and I had lunch at my favorite hotpot restaurant in Madrid — Sukijoy. It's an all-you-can-eat hotpot buffet, and as a Taiwanese person living in Madrid, finding a place like this was a big deal.

The Food

The restaurant has a modern design. Very clean. The vegetables and meat are displayed fresh, and unlike other buffet places in Madrid, you go get the ingredients yourself.

We chose two different broths — a spicy one and a chicken one. You can adjust the spicy level from one to five. Both broths were good. The buffet had a great variety of meats, vegetables, and noodles. The only downside was that nothing was labeled, so you never really knew what you were picking. After a while it got a little frustrating.

They also serve a variety of cooked sides — rice noodles, fried rice, dumplings, chicken wings. As a Taiwanese person, I was surprised to see they also have chicken feet, and sesame balls (芝麻球). For the hotpot itself, they carry some ingredients you don't see often in Madrid — lotus root, intestines, pork blood. I think they do a good job trying to accommodate most customers.

A Few Things to Know

Each person is required to order a drink, which is not included in the buffet price. The hotpot session is supposed to last 1.5 hours. They enforce this more strictly on weekends — during the week, I've never been asked to leave.

On the positive side, the staff were very attentive, always clearing plates quickly. Overall, a good hotpot experience.

If you're craving hotpot in Madrid, Sukijoy is the place. It's not perfect — I wish they labeled the ingredients, and the mandatory drink order is a little annoying — but the variety is impressive and the quality is solid. I'll definitely be back.
