Old Alley Hot Pot

Xiaolongkan - Review - Chinatown - Houston - The Infatuation

"Xiaolongkan is known for its Sichuan-style hot pot. This restaurant is beautiful, draped in red curtains and glowing paper lanterns, with burners embedded at your table. It makes you forget you’re in a Chinatown strip center. The service is attentive, offering time stamps down to the second and how to mix sauces like a seasoned chemist. Watch as the beef and lamb platter on a large wooden ring gets paraded through the dining room, landing perfectly around the burners of your table. Xiaolongkan is perfect for small groups wanting to celebrate a birthday at one of Houston's best hot pot restaurants." - Julie Takahashi
