Tang Hot Pot
PC: @tanghotpotnycTang Hot Pot is an authentic sichuan hot pot spot located on Bowery in Lower Manhattan. Here you will find the traditional Chinese hot pot made in a hot pot of broth with a variety of raw ingredients to choose from along with custom dipping sauces. With so many flavors to choose from, every hot pot is truly a unique dining experience. Make sure to check out their $25 weekday lunch special too!
MáLà Project
PC: @malaprojectLocated in the East Village, MáLà Project is one of the first spots to bring traditional dry pots to NYC. Amelia Kang and Meng Ai are the owners and both recent college graduates who are a part of the growing community of Chinese college students making a difference in the restaurant industry across the U.S. The speciality here is the mala dry pot, like the traditional Chinese hot pot, but without the broth. This communal dish features your choice of ingredients along with 24 spices and Chinese medicines and chili peppers.
Le Sia
Hot pot meets seafood boil at Le Sia, an East Village restaurant specializing in crustaceans by the pound that are boiled and then wok fried. Zac Zhang of Beijing opened Le Sia along with Tina Chen and Yang Liu in an effort to honor the unforgettable cuisine of their Chinese hometowns. Here you can’t go wrong with the Chinese-style crayfish, but fair warning have a drink nearby because this spice is not for the faint of heart. Whatever you go with, make sure to also add an order of cold noodles with sesame sauce for the table.
Shabu Tatsu
PC: @EaterNYShabu Tatsu is a Japanese-style hot pot restaurant serving high qualitie wagyu beefs available for dipping Shabu Shabu style or as a hot pot. Favorites here include Sukiyaki, a slow-simmering and sweet mix of fresh meats and veggies all cooked in an iron pot and Yakiniku, a Japanese style BBQ that allows you to cook meats and veggies at your table.
Mister Hotpot
PC: @infatuationnycMister Hotpot takes a contemporary approach to the traditional Chinese hot pot. The Mister Beef, for instance, comes with raw beef and egg whipped up tableside that is immersed in steamy broth. Everything here is made with the freshest ingredients and we cannot get enough of their creamy pork bone broth or the fried tofu skins with mushrooms and cabbage!
