| - Hot like the Sun!
You want delicious authentic Hot Pot? Well, this is your spot.
I'm loving this strip mall. 3 stellar restaurants in very close proximity. Givin' 'em 5 STARs, they astonished me. Friendly, patient, informative, and attentive service.
Big Homie B and I hit the new Hot Pot joint along Dobson's Little Asia and WOW! it did NOT disappoint. SO good! Speaking as heat affectionado... when these very kind folks tell your their spicy is more intense than other places.... believe them. Lordy, I was raining sweat, but loving it. Felt a bit self conscious about the number of head-swabbing napkins I requested.
To the food!
After some thought, Brian and I elected for the AYCE menu. We have agreed to order off the regular menu for our next visit.
But for this trip it was AYCE with the split pot, 1/2 Spicy Medium and 1/2 Bone Broth. Again, Dayum it was spicy. For clarification, I've spent the last 18 years among some of the craziest hot-food eating software developers on the planet. Whether Indian or pasty Caucasian white we're always ready to throw down to crush our hot food eatin' rivals.
The folks at Yu Tian Xia Hot Pot recommended I go with "Mild mild." Thinking I was down and experienced, I scoffed (inwardly so as not to be disrespectful) and ordered the medium (and that's only because the extremely hot is not served in the Yin & Yang split pot).
The pot came angry red and had me sweating in 90 seconds. If you think you can handle heat, Yu Tian Xia Hot Pot can assist you with acceptance of your personal mediocrity.
The AYCE menu is substantially reduced in comparison to the regular menu. For me, Shrimp was the most impactful absence between the two. I suggest you follow our lead and go with AYCE on your first visit. It will allow you to sample more items and tune your future expectations and interests.
Go. Have fun. B and I had a great time.
