This Japanese hot pot spot is great for chilly nights before catching a Jazz game or after an art stroll at the nearby Gateway shopping center. Start with a couple of appetizers like the cream cheese wontons and Korean fried chicken, then dive into choosing which broth you want for your personalized table boiler. Servers will bring you meats like rib eye, boneless short rib, and lamb shoulder, but you can help yourself to vegetables like bok choy and glass noodles at the salad bar. There’s a seemingly endless number of sauces, so attempting to try each one will probably make you late for evening plans.
