Our story

From Chengdu to Warsaw

Gulu Gulu was born from a fascination with places where food becomes a reason to meet. Hot pot is not just a dish here. It is steam above the broth, fire at the centre of the table, chopsticks in motion and conversations that naturally last longer.

Origins

Chongqing and Chengdu

Gulu Gulu was inspired by Chongqing and Chengdu, cities where heat, umami and the aroma of spices are part of everyday life. There, hot pot becomes a ritual: you choose ingredients, dip them into broth and share them with the people around you.

Food that happens between people

Hot pot works best when eaten together. Everyone chooses their ingredients, cooks at their own pace and mixes sauces their own way. It is food that does not end on the plate.

Sharing food, or rather dipping meats, is a perfect icebreaker.

First broth, then ingredients, sauces and shared cooking. Every step is part of the experience.

Spice, umami, fresh vegetables, meat, tofu and noodles. Everything comes together in one hot pot.

Ingredients

Traditional ingredients

At Gulu Gulu, ingredients are prepared for the rhythm of the table: thin meat slices cook quickly, vegetables absorb the broth, tofu and mushrooms carry umami, and noodles complete the experience. Every ingredient has a purpose, not as decoration, but as part of building flavour.

  • Broths inspired by the flavours of Chongqing and Chengdu.
  • Ingredients chosen for cooking and grilling at the table.
  • A menu made for sharing, tasting and eating at your own pace.
