"Most hot pot places offer around 6 or 7 broth varieties to choose from. Impressively, Hou Yi Hot Pot on the LES makes 30 (including nine vegetarian options). These range from pickled vegetable to kimchi with pork, and spicy butter beef. You get to pick two broths, since each communal pot is divided in half, and our approach is to go with something mild on one side and something from the “Hot & Spicy” section on the other. Just be aware that even the “medium” spicy broths would cause a mild commotion even at a hot sauce convention. An AYCE dinner at Hou Yi Hot Pot costs roughly $35 per person. Also, there’s unlimited ice cream, and a heated patio to enjoy it on." - hannah albertine
