"Mumu Hot Pot gets points for having individual pots—you won’t have to jostle with your elbows to grab a bobbing quail egg, or spend the entire meal standing up in order to reach a vat of broth. But aside from being the most conducive to non-sharers, this Parkmerced restaurant is also just really damn good. Their savory broths, like tom yum and miso, pair perfectly with the range of boilables, like house ramen, rice cakes, and fish balls. It’s not AYCE, so choose your set (the Mumu’s Signature for $75 easily feeds two) and go to town at the peanut-heavy sauce bar of your dreams." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, ricky rodriguez
