"Located across from Koreatown’s Chapman Plaza, Sorimmara is a chain from Korea that specializes in malatang, a popular Sichuan-inspired street food best described as individually portioned hot pots. There’s plenty of Korean twists and room for customization here, with a long toppings bar where you can build your own bowl priced by the pound. Afterward, it’s submerged in a choice of sauce, from traditional mala spice to spicy black bean sauce and rose tteobokki. Adding torched cheese on top is optional." - sylvio martins
