"We’re huge fans of this hot pot spot on the border of Pilsen and Chinatown. For one thing, Qiao Lin has date-friendly two tops, perfect for when you’re at the stage in the relationship when being a sweaty mess after eating fish balls drenched in spicy Chongqing broth is a non-issue. The menu also has cook times to help prevent arguments (between your date, friends, or family) about how long kobe beef should swim in boiling soup. Throw in a stocked dipping sauce station, the option to order up to three different broths (we like the spicy, mushroom, and pork ones), and tons of high-quality ingredients, and it all adds up to the best hot pot restaurant in Chicago." - john ringor, adrian kane
