We very recently visited 100°C Grill & Hot Pot - as in just returned from there and our takeaway is still warm. Let me start by saying it exceeded my expectations.
My first experience with hot pot in Tulsa wasn't great so I was hopeful for a positive one. When we first arrived, the restaurant had several tables filled with guests who appeared happily grilling and ladling soup into their bowls. I took it as a very good sign.
They sat us - socially distanced - at a table in a corner. We told our server, Ashley, we'd never been there before, so she offered to show us a short video on how to hot pot. It had a few helpf tips but Ashley gave us better tips when she told us about ordering.
We ordered the 6hr chicken broth and spicy beef broth. The hot pot is combined with a grilling option so we ordered beef, pork, meatballs, fishballs with meat, seaweed, bean sprouts, crown daisy, daikon, rice and noodles to go with our soup. I also ordered the mapo tofu with beef - one of my newest favorite dishes.
After Ashley brought us tableware and set up our grill and hotplate for the soup, we visited the spice and sauce station to prepare for the feast ahead of us. She brought out a cart with all our fix-ins and I was giddy with excitement.
Once it's all at the table it's a free for all. I like the combination of the bean sprouts, crown daisy - a little bitter green that paired well with both broths - and the beef dipped in hoisin sauce... Then there was the grilled pork belly with the seaweed... Oh, and then the fresh ramen noodles, those were so good with the soup. You can make each bite something different and as tasty as you want.
The mapo tofu arrived shortly after we dug into our soup. It wasn't on the tablet when we ordered so I had to ask Ashley about it. It wasn't as Sichuan peppery as the other versions I've had but it had such a savory with the beef. The other versions included ground pork. Not to mention the beef chunks were large, as you can see in the photo.
Ashely offered to bring us more broth but we were filled to the gills. So full of delicious soup and grilled meat and tofu.
We most certainly be back. My husband already said we'd make it a date night at least once or twice a month. He said he saw a few entrees he was interested in trying next time.
TLDR: Ashely, our server, was super helpful and made our experience top notch. We tried the 6 hour chicken broth and spicy beef broth, which wasn't overly spicy in case you're worried it might be a scorcher. The crown daisy, bean sprouts and fresh ramen noodles are a must. The mapo tofu was super flavorful without being too numbing from the Sichuan peppers. We're going to make it a regular spot for date night.
