The Liuyishou Chongqing hot pot restaurant at 5507 Kingsway in Burnaby has permanently closed after nine years, Noms Magazine reported on November 13. The commercial unit was sold and a Korean BBQ restaurant is taking over the space.

The Burnaby location opened in June 2017, Noms Magazine reports. A "Closed for Renovations" sign appeared in the window, but the closure turned out to be permanent. No statement from Liuyishou management was available.

This is the second Metro Vancouver Liuyishou location to close in 2026. The downtown Vancouver location on Robson Street shut down in late March. The Richmond location on Garden City Road remains open, Noms Magazine reports.

## What is known about the closure

The commercial unit at 5507 Kingsway was sold. The incoming tenant is a Korean BBQ restaurant. No opening date was given in the article for the new operator.

Liuyishou's Burnaby location served Chongqing-style hot pot, a form of communal cooking where diners cook meat, vegetables and other ingredients in a shared pot of spiced broth. The chain is based in Chongqing, China and operates locations internationally.

The two Metro Vancouver closures in 2026 leave only the Richmond location on Garden City Road. The pattern of closures at this chain's Metro Vancouver locations is noted by Noms Magazine but no explanation from the company was available.

## What residents need to know

Residents who ate at the Burnaby Liuyishou on Kingsway should note it is now permanently closed. The building will not reopen under the same name. The Richmond location on Garden City Road is still operating, according to Noms Magazine's report from November 13.

The Kingsway corridor runs through Burnaby's Metrotown area, one of the busiest commercial strips in the city. For other business openings and closures along Kingsway and in Burnaby more broadly, readers can follow the Burnaby news section at [voche.me/bc/burnaby-2026/news](/bc/burnaby-2026/news).
