"Ever eat hot pot and get mad that you have to share your perfect broth concoction? At Sanku Maots’ai, a Chinese chain with its first American location in the East Village, the hot pots are individual-sized. Pick your ingredients from a buffet, pay for them at the rate of $3.99 for 100 grams of your choice of meat, tofu, vegetables, and broth, and brag to your friends about how your mix is better than theirs. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Will Hartman
