"Xiao Long Kan serves “Chinese fondue,” but this imported chain restaurant is miles more interesting than The Melting Pot. For a casual dinner spot, this Sichuan restaurant in Alhambra is lavishly decorated with ornate wood carvings and tasseled lanterns, making it a great option for a seemingly upscale group dinner that costs less than $100 per person. Divide your cauldron with up to three soups, including a beef bone broth that infuses salt into every slice of angus beef or tofu skin you dunk into it, and the signature tallow-heavy chili oil that will stain your tongue with tingly heat." - Sylvio Martins
