The Best Hot Pot Restaurants In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation

"If you want a quick bite or something to go, but still want hot pot, check out Zhangliang Malatang in Chinatown. This casual Chinese chain specializes in single-serving hot pot, in which everything is cooked in mushroom, pork, or tomato broth in one go before being served. Armed with a plastic bowl, tongs, and your imagination, you can go as plain or as outlandish as you want with their shelves full of bok choy, thin cuts of beef, and fishballs (just know that price is based on weight). Once you’re done building your masterpiece, hand it over to the staff, pick your broth, and your bowl should be ready in minutes." - adrian kane, john ringor
