Hong Kong diners can now enjoy a 100-minute Taiwanese hotpot feast starting at just $99 per person, with an option to upgrade to a combined hotpot and teppanyaki experience at select branches.
Ben Dian Taiwan Hotpot (犇殿台灣火鍋), a popular chain across the city, has launched a limited-time promotion running from now until August 19. The deal offers deep discounts on its signature all-you-can-eat hotpot buffet, including a rare buy-one-get-one-free offer for evening diners. The flash sale is available exclusively through online booking platform KKday.
Flash Sale Details
The base package, dubbed the “Prime Red Meat Beef” hotpot buffet, is priced from $99 per person on weekdays during lunch hours (original $148) and $109 on weekends and public holidays. This 100-minute indulgence covers unlimited servings of premium beef cuts, seafood like sea tiger prawns, Taiwanese-style duck blood curd, and a variety of hotpot ingredients. Guests can also help themselves to an assortment of Taiwanese snacks and a self-serve vegetable bar.
The promotion lets patrons choose from broth bases such as sour cabbage with pork belly, imperial spicy mala, or shabu-shabu sukiyaki.
Upgrade to Hotpot and Teppanyaki
For those seeking more variety, Ben Dian offers a “one-person hotpot x teppanyaki” upgrade. Priced at $124 per person on weekdays (after the buy-one-get-one-free deal) or $129 on weekends, this tier combines bubbling broth with tabletop grilling. Diners can enjoy both the hotpot selection and grilled items like marinated meats and seafood.
Even more premium is the “Japanese Hokkaido Wagyu” hotpot and teppanyaki buffet, also available with a buy-one-get-one-free voucher. At $289 per person on weekdays (original $598 for two) and $299 on weekends, this package features ultra-premium ingredients including:
- Extreme Black Mino Wagyu and Japanese Hokkaido Wagyu
- Pingtung grouper slices (海斑片)
- A full spread of hotpot accompaniments, Taiwanese night market-style salt-and-pepper chicken, and a self-serve vegetable station
Where to Go and How to Book
Only participating branches are included in the promotion. The chain’s Olympian City 3 outlet (大角咀奧海城三期) is confirmed, with more locations likely listed on the KKday booking page. Reservations are essential, as these flash deals tend to sell out quickly.
Key pricing at a glance:
- Lunch buffet (Prime Beef): $99–$109 per person, 100 minutes
- Dinner buffet + teppanyaki (Prime Beef): $124–$129 per person (buy-one-get-one-free)
- Dinner buffet + teppanyaki (Hokkaido Wagyu): $289–$299 per person (buy-one-get-one-free)
Broader Impact on Hong Kong’s Dining Scene
This aggressive pricing reflects a growing trend among mid-range hotpot chains to compete for budget-conscious consumers. With inflation pinching wallets, discounts of 30–50 percent off regular prices are becoming more common. Ben Dian’s move may pressure other hotpot operators—such as the recently announced $98 buffet by a major Chinese restaurant chain—to follow suit with their own limited-time offers.
For readers looking to maximise value, booking a weekday evening session offers the steepest savings, especially with the buy-one-get-one-free deal. Diners should act fast: the promotion ends August 19, and slots are expected to fill rapidly. For those who miss out, the chain’s regular menu remains available at standard pricing.
