| - Really wishing I took a pic while I was there.
I ate here ~3 weeks ago.
I grew up with hotpot, whether it be Korean, Chinese, or Japanese style hotpot.
I was REALLY glad to find a place in Cleveland that actually specialized in it.
The place itself is tucked away and is relatively small, but extremely cozy.
I think I had the spicy miso broth, and it was excellent!
It wasn't the best hotpot I've ever had, but it still evoked pleasant memories and the same great mouth feel as hotpots I've had in yesteryears.
The workers were really very nice.
The manager was incredibly friendly.
And really, NOTHING warms the insides like hotpot.
The dipping sauces here were REALLY good, especially the ponzu.
My one complaint:
1) Hotpots here are meant to be personal, I think. Usually, the places I frequent have a HUGE pot meant for 2 or more people, but these pots are small, and you get a lot of veggies, but not much beef. This made me a little sad because I'm so used to eating it family style; shared saliva, shared love, you know?
The menu is pretty simple and straightforward, and last I checked, it was BYOB ;)
Though I hope to see more menu items in the future, for what it's worth, Ushabu is already pretty bomb. Will definitely revisit when I get the chance :)
