"Chong Qing Lao Zao in Flushing specializes in Chongqing-style hot pot made with rich beef tallow and Sichuan peppers, so we’d recommend trying at least one spicy broth. In terms of the setup, each covered outdoor table has its own hot pot burner built in, a QR code for ordering, and a brigade of plastic utensils. This restaurant offers dividers for your hot pot with nine individual chambers (like a hot tub with cubicles), which helps you keep track of what you added and when. There’s also a bar inside with a selection of peanut and sesame sauces, as well as a garlicky house sauce. You can make a reservation by calling 917-563-7171." - hannah albertine
