HONOLULU – With pots, tongs and burners at the ready, Chong Qing Hot Pot will hold its grand opening on Thursday, Dec. 1, at Ward Village®, the award-winning destination in the heart of Honolulu to live, shop, dine and explore. The 7,000-square-foot space will serve an all-you-can-eat menu of classic hot pot proteins, including thinly sliced beef, chicken, and pork, served alongside an array of vegetables and appetizers led by Chef Jie Lin.
“Welcoming unique, one-of-a-kind restaurant concepts to Ward Village’s expansive dining portfolio has been an integral part of our strategy since our neighborhood’s inception,” said Jeff Chen, Senior General Manager of Ward Village. “We are thrilled with the addition of Chong Qing Hot Pot for residents and visitors of the community to enjoy.”

Alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages will also be available for purchase.
“Our concept is a new choose-your-own-adventure dining experience that community members and food fanatics will love,” said Johnnie You, Chong Qing Hot Pot’s general manager. “Each take on our array of entrees will be driven by our desire to source the freshest ingredients possible.”

About Ward Village®
Ward Village is a 60-acre master-planned community by The Howard Hughes Corporation® in the heart of Honolulu, located between downtown and Waikīkī. Honoring the distinct history of its land, Ward Village is at the forefront of sustainable community development – integrating striking architecture, culture and arts, and public open space. At full build-out, the community will include approximately one million square feet of unique retail and thousands of homes, in what Architectural Digest named “Best Planned Community in the United States.”
As a result of strong demand for new housing in urban Honolulu, Ward Village is quickly approaching sellout of its first six mixed-use residential towers—Waiea®, Anaha®, Ae‘o®, Ke Kilohana®, ʻAʻaliʻi® and Kō‘ula® transforming the popular shopping and dining district into a thriving urban neighborhood that offers ocean views and open space, including its newest outdoor gathering place, Victoria Ward Park. New residential buildings in development or under construction include Victoria Place® and Kalae. Since launching public sales in July 2021, The Park Ward Village has become the fastest-selling market tower in the history of Ward Village. Approved by the Hawaiʻi Community Development Authority (HCDA) in 2021, The Park Ward Village and Ulana Ward Village will be the newest mixed-use developments to join the neighborhood.
As a LEED-ND Platinum-certified master planned community, Ward Village demonstrates its commitment to responsible, mixed-use development by investing in public benefits and amenities for Honolulu’s urban community. For more information, visit www.wardvillage.com.
