Shaokao β Chinese BBQ Google: β5.0/11 Highly recommended new spot! Walking in feels like being back in China β the staff speaks with a genuine Northeast Chinese accent, Chinese decor, and a lively group-dining atmosphere. Park in the back alley! Limited street parking. π’ Must-try: grilled squid, pork trotters, shrimp, chicken gizzard π Their hand-pulled noodles are chewy and fragrant (may vary by visit, but always good!) π° Avg: $30-$50 ShabuShabu β All-You-Can-Eat Hot Pot + BBQ Google: β4.4/876 Very popular β expect waits on weekends! Great place to feast. Unlimited beef, seafood, and more. π² Broth recs: Sukiyaki or Sichuan Spicy π Ingredients are fresh β beef, shrimp, and squid are highlights. Their milk tea helps balance the richness! π° Avg: $35 Beijing Hotpot Google: β4.7/45 Mixed experience β first time was great with rich broths and diverse sauces, but second time the quality dipped (ingredients less fresh). Inconsistent lately. π² Broth recs: Golden Soup & Tomato π’ Γ la carte hotpot + stir-fry dishes available. π° Avg: $40-50+ Changhong Malatang Google: β4.6/200 One of the few malatang spots in town!
