Restaurant Suggestion:
Ruyixuan Hotpot 如意轩火锅 (⭐4/5)
A good friend took us to this Chinese hotpot restaurant, and it turned out to be a great experience. You can choose from different broths—we went with three: a mushroom-based, a spicy, and a tomato-based option. A variety of meats, seafood, and vegetables can be ordered and cooked in the boiling broth at the table. There’s also a sauce station where you can mix your own dipping sauces. If you enjoy hotpot, I highly recommend giving this place a try. Just be prepared to wash your clothes afterward, as the smell lingers!
