"This place has an interesting twist on hot pot: you pick out a type of noodle (we prefer the rice), a broth flavor (they’re all very good), and some sort of meat (meat’s always nice). You’ll receive your noodles, meat, and broth separately, with a bunch of tiny dishes of various veggies and mix-ins. Then, in an incredible plot twist, it’s the servers who toss all the ingredients into the boiling broth in front of you. So it’s like hot pot, but without the crushing fear of cooking everything into oblivion." - adrian kane, john ringor
"From lo mein to chow fun, there are a variety of different noodle styles in Chinese cooking. This Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient focuses on rice noodle soups, bringing the broth and ingredients to the table and cooking it all together in a stone pot. Protein choices include oxtail, beef shank, and spicy pig intestines. It’s rounded out with sides like pork buns and pumpkin pancakes." - Ashok Selvam, Jeffy Mai
"Michelin Bib Gourmand designee Daguan Noodle specializes in a host of rice noodle soups. Diners choose a broth and protein and receive the ingredients at the table, where they’re then cooked in a hot stone pot. The comforting dish is perfect for winter and can be paired with a beef or pork bun. Order pickup here or use third party services for delivery." - Jeffy Mai

"Open for lunch and dinner daily, the Chinatown eatery on South Wentworth Avenue specializes in noodle soups. The broth is prepared daily and whether you choose sour or spicy, or even the pig intestine and oxtail version, it tastes like liquid gold. Consuming this creation is great fun too, with a tray of vegetables and choice of protein—perhaps Chinese potted meats or flaky shrimp cake? Then, drop those bouncy rice noodles into the bubbling pot and wait for the magic to unfold." - The MICHELIN Guide
