Hot pot in Madison is such a genius idea. It gets deathly cold in the winter, and what better way to warm up than with a giant bowl of boiling broth where you can cook various meats and veggies at the table? Growing up, hot pot was one of my favorite family traditions, and I'm glad I can recreate it at Soga. The restaurant has a lot of tables and is good for groups. When ordering a hot pot, you can either get a set (comes with the burner and pot of broth, a plate of veggies, your choice of meat(s), and several dipping sauces), or you can order things a la carte. The set is from $17-20 and feeds 2-3 people. It's really fun to throw all these pre-sliced meats and veggies in the broth and scoop them out. The only off-putting thing about the whole experience was the hot tea they served us. It was in mugs and lukewarm.
