"The team behind DipDipDip is known for creating fun, vibey spots all throughout Austin, so it’s no surprise that walking into this hot pot spot feels like entering a moody, luxurious pirate ship filled with induction burners and sliced meat. Everyone here gets their own bowl of broth, so you can save your debate energy for figuring out which family you’re spending the holidays with. Order the Baller Omakase, where you’ll be treated to oysters before diving into pieces of short rib and Alaskan snow crab. It’s fun, it’s intimate, and it’s everything we like on a date." - anne cruz
