This Taiwanese shop in the International District specializes in serving a more passive version of hot pot where, instead of providing diners with raw ingredients, the pot is filled to the brim with precooked items and reheated at the table. The house special is the real draw, and features ingredients such as pork intestines, pork blood cake, and fermented tofu.

11 Amazing Places to Eat Sichuan Food in the Seattle Area Apr 9
11 Amazing Places to Eat Sichuan Food in the Seattle Area Little Sheep Mongolian Hot Pot Link This international chain — with outposts in the International District and Bellevue — takes a slightly different tack than similar places by not really encouraging DIY meat and vegetable sauce dipping. But the restaurant adds so many different herbs to its soup bases, creating a fragrant, rich, and aromatic broth, that it really doesn’t matter. Servings of lamb, a Mongolian hot pot staple, rounds out the experience.
Jay Friedman Gourmet Noodle Bowl Link This International District mainstay offers both all-you-can-eat and individual hot pot options. The soup bases are mild and light, the portions are large, and the prices are affordable. It’s also worth noting that the tables are supplied with plenty of garlic, peanut sauce, and most importantly, “Sha Cha Jiang” (Taiwanese barbecue sauce), a cornerstone to any Taiwanese hot pot experience.

Where to Cozy Up With a Bowl of Soup in Seattle Jan 2
Where to Cozy Up With a Bowl of Soup in Seattle Hot Pot King Link This International District spot serves up Chongqing-style hot pot (a beef tallow-based soup, turned red from the addition of chilis and Sichuan peppers) with a choice of two different soup bases, original or spicy. Spice levels range from 1-10, but be warned — upping it may result in a broth that’s a bit too extreme for the uninitiated. Chunks of beef fat in animal shaped molds provide diners with a playful way to increase their broths’ richness and flavor content. This embedded content failed to load. Morfire Link Morfire in Capitol Hill fills in a major gap in Seattle’s Thai food scene through its hot pot, or suki, offerings. The broths are accompanied by sauces that give off sweet and sour flavors, with unmistakable heat shining through. Don’t forget to try the Suki Hang, or dry hot pot, which features stir-fried glass noodles mixed with a spicy sauce from Thai chili peppers, all served up on a sizzling cast iron pan. There’s a delicate sweetness from a hint of preserved bean curd. The Dolar Shop Link Bellevue’s high-end hot pot restaurant (part of a global chain) serves thick-cut wagyu beef and A5 Japanese Miyazaki beef, while the seafood options include live crab and geoduck. With a sauce bar containing 21 different options, rich broths, and high-quality ingredients, it’s no wonder there’s usually a long wait to get in. Also featured in

12 Solid Seattle Restaurants Where Parking Isn’t a Complete Nightmare Feb 13, 2020
12 Solid Seattle Restaurants Where Parking Isn’t a Complete Nightmare Liuyishou Hotpot Seattle Link The sauce bar is extensive and the range of items are expansive at this Bellevue outpost of the international chain, even offering standalone snacks like fruit and peanuts for customers to munch on. A couple of highlights are the perfectly tender marbled beef and the Kung Fu sliced potatoes, which are wafer thin and absorb immense amount of broths. Swish Swish Link This shabu-shabu place in Bellevue provides diners with broths ranging anywhere from the tongue numbing (mala) Sichuan spicy, to the earthy flavors of the spicy curry. Tender wagyu beef is one of the more notable meat options, served with an accompanying soup base in a pot made entirely out of a piece of paper. Originally created in Japan, this kami-nabe, helps to absorb some of the oils in the soup, keeping it light as more of the fatty wagyu is dipped in. Shaburina Link This Redmond restaurant is an all-you-can-eat, Japanese shabu-shabu hot pot restaurant, a form that emphasizes lighter and more quickly cooked ingredients. While orders of meat need to be placed with a server, this dining experience is enhanced by the self-service buffet bar in the back which contains various vegetables, noodles, and sauces. Broths such as soy milk and sukiyaki — a bold, sweet, and salty soy-based Japanese base — offer Eastside hot pot fans something a little different. Also featured in
