How to Buy Hot Pot and Korean BBQ Equipment for Your Restaurant from China

Are you planning to open a hot pot or Korean BBQ restaurant? Buying the right hot pot and Korean equipment is the first step to success — and sourcing from China can save you money while giving you more choices.

But are you worried about the risks of buying from a supplier so far away?You're not alone — many restaurant owners share the same concern. That's why it’s important to choose a reliable partner who can guide you every step of the way.

Here’s a simple guide to help you purchase restaurant hot pot and Korean BBQ equipment from China smoothly and safely.

1. Know What Equipment You Need

• Before contacting suppliers, list the products you need. Common items include:
• Hot pot induction cookers (built-in or tabletop)
• BBQ grills (gas, electric, or charcoal)
• Hot pot tables / BBQ tables
• Exhaust and purification systems
• Soup pots and accessories

Knowing your restaurant layout and concept helps you decide if you need individual pots, shared pots, or combined hot pot & BBQ tables.

2. Find a Reliable Supplier

Look for a professional manufacturer or one-stop supplier who specializes in hot pot and BBQ restaurant equipment. You can start by searching on Google using keywords like “hot pot equipment supplier in China” or “Korean BBQ grill supplier.” This gives you access to official websites and direct contacts.

• Business license and export experience
• Product certifications (CE, ETL, etc.)
• Product customization services
• Customer reviews or overseas cases
• Clear communication and fast response

3. Ask for Product Details and Samples

Good suppliers will give you:

• Equipment specifications and photos
• Material information (e.g., stainless steel, Schott glass, titanium panels)
• Power requirements (voltage, wattage)
• Installation guides
• Sample options if needed

Requesting a sample or trial order helps you check the quality before buying in bulk.

4. Confirm Customization Options

If you have special needs — such as table sizes, colors, or logo printing — confirm whether the supplier offers OEM/ODM service. Many Chinese factories can customize:

• Table shape, color, and materials
• Grill or cooker positions
• Table frames and built-in exhaust systems
• Packaging and instruction manuals

5. Discuss Shipping and Delivery

• Check if the supplier provides:
• Door-to-door shipping
• DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) service
• Sea freight or air freight options
• Packaging suitable for overseas transport

A good supplier will help you choose the safest and most cost-effective shipping method for your location.

6. After-Sales Support

Choose a supplier that offers:

• Installation guides or videos
• Warranty and spare parts
• Technical support after delivery

This is especially important for electrical products like induction cookers or BBQ grills.
