I recently had the pleasure of dining at Hot Pot Restaurant in São Paulo, Brazil and it was quite an experience! The ambiance is cozy and inviting, perfect for a meal with friends or family. The variety of ingredients offered is impressive, from fresh vegetables to a wide selection of meats and seafood. 🍲
The highlight of the meal was definitely the broth rich, flavorful, and absolutely delicious! We tried the spicy and the herbal broths, both of which were fantastic. The interactive cooking style made the dining experience fun and engaging. Plus, the dipping sauces provided were a perfect complement to the hot pot ingredients. 🌶️
However, the service left something to be desired. The staff seemed overwhelmed and slow to respond to requests. There were times when we had to wait quite a while for refills or additional ingredients. Despite this, the quality of the food and the overall experience made up for it. It’s a great spot for hot pot lovers looking for an authentic experience in São Paulo. 🌟

I ended up using it as flavor enhancer for other broths. a buffet with many spices & seasonings are available to add to your hot pot: you have to know what you're doing or it will end in disaster. everything I tried to cook in the broth was incredibly satisfying: all the vegetables, being the bok choi and the lotus root my fav, the meat and the seafood are 'of the best quality'. great fish balls, shrimps and crabs: they are slightly tricky to eat with hashis but you can ask for a nutcrackers....
