"Berkeley has gained a spot for all-you-can-eat hot pot open for lunch and dinner. Expect the usual wide array of meats, seafood, vegetables, and noodles to fill your bowl, but with a few harder-to-find soup bases like oxtail, beef rib, and pork tripe. Each of the broths are served in individual-sized pots, and with big round tables with space for up to 10, it seems like it could be a great place for a last-minute choose-your-own-adventure dinner.
