"The world is full of unspeakable horrors, but at least there’s a hot pot place in the Century City mall with a DIY sauce station, talking delivery robots, and a guy who’ll do an improvisational dance at your table while hand-pulling noodles.

Get the spicy pork and tom kha as your soup base and then add in any protein that catches your eye. " - brant cox, sylvio martins, nikko duren
