Chong Qing Wharf

Chongqing Wharf in Borough Park is a fever dream of a hot pot experience. There’s blue neon lighting everywhere, it’s someone’s birthday every fifteen minutes, and you’re expected to know what you want to order the moment you sit down. For $49 per person, you get unlimited food for two hours, and that includes things like snow crab legs, whole lobster, and every kind of sliced meat. This place is packed with a mostly-locals crowd every night, and while you can’t make reservations, you can join a virtual wait list—you’ll want to do this at least two hours before you plan to actually sit down and eat.
