This was my first time trying hot pot. It’s kind of a mix between Melting Pot, Korean BBQ, and Mongolian BBQ (for those of you that remember BD’s).
Walking in, you’re greeted by a giant panda (that seems to be the theme). It’s definitely different…you’ll even have little panda pillows at your seat. I like pandas…I’m good with it!
Choose your soup base:
• Sichuan Spices (very spicy…add sesame oil if you want it a bit milder)
• Tomato (usually not my thing, but tasty!)
• Mushrooms
• Pork Broth (most popular, my favorite)
• Fatty Brisket Slice*
• Sliced Beef
• Beef Tripe
• Sliced Lamb*
• Pork Belly*
• Pork Liver
• Sliced Chicken
Choose your seafood:
• Sliced Fish Filet
• Shrimp*
• Mussel*
• Small Cuttlefish
* my favorites
Soy products (not pictured) include:
• Tofu
• Spongy Tofu

The meat cooks in just a few seconds and you get to choose from about a dozen different dipping sauces, including:

and more!
I recommend experimenting with the different sauces.
