The Best New Restaurants In Austin: The Austin Hit List - Austin - The Infatuation

"Hanging lanterns, exposed brick walls, and flickering neon signs make Old Alley Hot Pot feel more like a busy street in Chengdu than a strip mall in North Austin. Unlike most all-you-can-eat spots in town, this one’s a la carte, which means higher-quality ingredients—Kobe beef, lobster, abalone—and no pressure to work against a timer. The broths are flavorful enough to moonlight as standalone soups, and the triple-split pot means you can try a few without committing to just one. Bring a group and order as much as you can—the menu is long, and you'll need a few visits to work your way through it." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs, matthew jacobs, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs, matthew jacobs, nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary
