King of Skewers

The self-coronated King of Skewers definitely knows how to celebrate its esteemed position in Hamilton's CBD. Renowned for their inimitable skewers (no surprises there) and skewer-style hotpot, this King absolutely rules!

Renowned for its theatrical dining style, King of Skewers allows the sizzle of the individual grills do all the talking. Amongst the sensory stimulation, the restaurant enjoys a monochrome, minimalist look, pairing whitewashed walls with slick, black furniture, contemporary hanging lanterns and minuscule potted greens. Perfectly preened and restrained, King of Skewers does nothing to distract you from the very reason you came to them in the first place - for a unique dining experience.

Sichuan/Szechuan cuisine gets a modern overhaul over at King of Skewers. When it comes to building your hotpot you first need to choose your single or double-flavour soup base (be that pork trotter or tomato) then opt for a few meats and vegetables that you can drop into your delicious cauldron.

Be as adventurous as you want. Those who want to play it safe will love the beef and lamb slices, pork belly and minced prawn, Those who wish to try something new will jump at the chance to try beef tongue and kungfu kidney slices. Once you've designed your hotpot, let it simmer and enjoy a beer or homemade plum juice whilst you wait for the flavours to mature and marinate. When it comes to hotpot, this restaurant takes the crown every time.
