| - Tien Wong, Johnny Chu's latest restaurant creation is now opened. Housed in the former location of the Citrus Cafe, the interior has been completely redone with a hip open vibe. Each table is set up for for the focus cuisine, Asian Hot Pot. This is the perfect food for the cool winter nights in Phoenix. Hot Pot is the perfect communal food, you select from several different broth options including a vegetarian option then select the vegetables, noodles, tofu, and meat or seafood that you want. We had the ying-yang broth. The pot is divided into two sides, one with a red spicy broth and the other side with a more mainstream broth for those not keen on a little heat. With a broad range of choices, you can pick any number of items to add to the broth.
For those not familiar with hot pot, they provide a simple step-by-step guide to aid guests navigating the hot pot. Service was prompt and helpful and the food quality and range of options was great and having a vegetarian option was a nice surprise. The dipping sauces on the side were a nice complement to hot pot and worked equally well with the vegetables and proteins that we picked. I am not sure why Chandler is such an epicenter of Asian food in Phoenix, but Tien Wong brings a new and fun option in the neighborhood.
