The Best Hot Pot Restaurants In Chicago

"Lao Jiu Men has a relatively short menu, charges extra for dipping sauce, and has a two-broth maximum. But this place is great because (unlike the more popular spots where we can wait up to two hours) we’re seated here immediately. Their dining room is sleek, and decorated with carved wooden dividers, paper lanterns, and scroll artwork. The broths are flavorful, with classics like spicy Szechwan and harder-to-find options like fish maw with shredded chicken. And while they don’t have premium cuts like wagyu or kobe, the meat, seafood, and vegetables are still good quality. They also have an AYCE option—but you might be stuffing beancurd rolls in your pockets to try and avoid the 15% leftover charge." - adrian kane, john ringor
