"K Pot Korean BBQ & Hot Pot has locations in South Philly, the Northeast, and near Franklin Mills, all of which are usually packed with friends dipping fish cakes into spicy Szechuan broth and trying not to burn bulgogi beef. But the busiest and most energetic location is the one on Oregon Ave. The place doubles as a sports bar for the grilling-obsessed, and wait times can be over an hour. But once you're in, you and your friends can go wild with bubbling broths, DIY sizzled meats, and a mango Long Island iced tea." - alison kessler, candis mclean
