"The Taiwanese hot pot chain now has locations on Convoy and Mira Mesa, offering the mouth-numbing “mala” spicy soup options, along with curry and tomato soup bases as alternatives. The do-it-yourself meat and vegetable buffet stations give customers options to build their own bowls, which are weighed by the cashier and brought to the kitchen, where the ingredients are cooked in separate saucepans to bring out each component’s distinct flavors. The Mira Mesa outpost offers a skewer station, where diners can pick out beef, tofu, or chicken skin to be grilled in the kitchen." - Helen I. Hwang
