Hot pot restaurants are dining establishments where customers cook their own food in a simmering pot of broth at the table. Diners choose from a variety of ingredients, such as meats, seafood, vegetables, and noodles, which they dip into the broth until fully cooked. This interactive dining experience allows for customization and sharing among friends and family. Typically, hot pot restaurants offer different types of broth, ranging from mild to spicy, catering to various taste preferences. Many places also provide dipping sauces and condiments to enhance the flavors of the cooked ingredients, making each meal unique and enjoyable.
