"If you'd like to feel like you're vacationing in a swanky hotel, head to The Dolar Shop in Bellevue. Only instead of towel service, a continental breakfast, and jacuzzis, this hot pot restaurant has never-ending plates of luxurious meat, a sauce bar, and simmering broth. You can even rent a private room that comes with your own personal server and decor that looks plucked from Buckingham Palace." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"This Bellevue outpost of a Shanghai-based chain is one of the best hot pot restaurants in the metro area. In contrast to most other places, which feature a large shared pot, diners at Bellevue’s Dolar Shop get their own individual hot pots — still with the option of a split bowl containing two different broths. It’s the quality of the broths that puts Dolar above the others, whether it’s pork leg bone, mushroom, Szechuan hot and spicy, or tomato and oxtail. In addition, the options to add to the hot pot are impeccable, the sauce bar is forever customizable, and you can always count on a refreshing ice cream cone at the end of the meal." - Jay Friedman
"If you'd like to feel like you're vacationing in a swanky hotel, head to The Dolar Shop in Bellevue. Only instead of towel service, a continental breakfast, and jacuzzis, this hot pot restaurant has never-ending plates of marbled meats, an expansive sauce bar, and luxurious truffle-infused bone broth. You can even rent a private room that comes with your own personal server and decor that looks plucked from Buckingham Palace." - Kayla Sager-Riley
"In China, hours-long hot pot parties (with lots of beer and baijiu) often mark the celebration of special events like birthdays. Though the Seattle area has many great hot pot spots, the Bellevue location of this Chinese chain is a good place to splurge on high-end ingredients like A5 Miyazaki wagyu beef from Japan, geoduck, or live prawns." - Harry Cheadle
"Between the steam facials from wafts of truffle fragrant broth, floor-to-ceiling windows, and shiny decor straight out of an Emirates business-class lounge, The Dolar Shop is where you go for a swanky night out. At this Bellevue restaurant, they serve only individual hot pots which means that you don’t need to worry about which shrimp ball is yours. It’s on the pricey side, but they have a live seafood tank that you can order from, along with wagyu and lots of other heavily marbled meats. Plus, there are private (and very fancy-looking) rooms to rent with your own personal server and sauce bar." - gabe guarente, aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
