Shancheng Lameizi - Review - Convoy District - San Diego - The Infatuation

"This Convoy spot is dressed up like the set of a Chinese historical drama—if they had neon lighting and televisions playing videos about hot pot in the Han Dynasty. Diners drop sliced meats and vegetables into cauldrons that bubble with Chongqing-style spicy-and-numbing soup and milder bone broth, but the sauce bar might be the real attraction. It has nearly every condiment imaginable, as well as a buffet of sweet and savory snacks like rice crackers and a coconut pudding that slaps. All in unlimited amounts. Plus, they’ll give you hair ties, eyeglass wipes, and even toothbrushes, if you’re prone to getting messy." - Candice Woo
