"Global chain Da Long Yi Hot Pot finally arrived in Boston in May 2022 a few years after its United States debut in New York. (Pete Wells of The New York Times gave the New York location a one-star review — a “good” ranking — and described it as a gateway for newcomers to Sichuan-style hot pot.) But newcomers beware: It might be wise to stick with the non-spicy options, at least for your first visit." - Valerie Li Stack
