Haidilao Hot Pot

Chinese hot pot is similar in many respects to fondue: it’s an interactive dining experience where the center of table contains a simmering pot of soup into which various raw ingredients such as veggies, meat, seafood, tofu, etc., are placed for quick cooking. The ingredients are sliced thinly to facilitate the fast-cooking process, and the soup can be flavored as well. The cooked items are then usually dipped into some sort of sauce prior to eating.

Here customers get to choose up to four different bases, like spicy pork bone, classic spicy, mushroom, and Thai tom yum goong. Then proteins and vegetables are chosen (each at an additional cost). There's a sauce bar to make your very own sauce to go along with the meal.

If you time it right, you just might even get a show from the dancing noodle maker.
