FROM PROPHECY TO POT.

A brief history of how fate ended up in your bowl.

A brief history of how fate ended up in your bowl.

According to Chinese legend, greatness doesn’t come easy. It takes at least three visits. That’s how Liu Bei, an ambitious warlord from the Three Kingdoms era, finally convinced the brilliant strategist Zhuge Liang to join his cause: with three humble visits to his thatched cottage. That story became our inspiration, and our name. Sanku Maots’ai (三顾冒菜) means “Three Visits Maotsai”: a nod to patience, persistence, and the pursuit of something truly worth it. That’s how we see hot pot too: a ritual, a choice, a delicious twist of fate. Because good things take time. Great things take broth. And destiny? Destiny comes in your bowl.

Behind every Sanku Maotsai bowl, there’s a blessing by the hot pot gods. Pick your base, pile on your ingredients, and choose your broth: from the classic OG Szechuan blend with eight herbs and spices to Pickled Mustard Green, Rich Tomato, Fragrant Mushroom, or Tropical Thai. Then watch it all come together, cooked fresh before your eyes by our kitchen crew. Tofu or shrimp? Lotus root or enoki mushrooms? Ricecake or sweet potato noodles? You call the shots. We bring the heat. The hot pot gods are watching. Choose wisely. Slurp loudly!

HOT POT WITHOUT BORDERS

Maotsai (冒菜) is hot pot’s bold little cousin. Same sizzling broth, same glorious ingredients. Just made for one and cooked for you. You pick your destiny. We make it delicious. Our story began in Deyang, Szechuan, where Sanku Maotsai opened its first kitchen in 2008. Fast-forward 4,000 stores and 300 cities later, here we are: in the heart of Berlin. Flavor travels faster than borders. And that’s a good thing. Borders divide. Bowls don’t.
