Chubby Cattle is a Mongolian style hot
pot restaurant. The difference between
Japanese and Mongolian hot pot is in the
broth. Japanese is generally simple with
minimal flavorings where Mongolian has
bold, spicy flavors. Chubby Cattle has a
great variety of items from simple to exotic.
Everything we have experienced is very
fresh and flavorful. As you are eating a
refrigerated conveyor brings selections
for your hot pot by. You grab what you
want and are charged by plate numbers
and colors at the end. They also have a
sauce bar where you can custom make
your dipping sauce. This is one of Dawn
and I's favorite new restaurants and we
highly recommend it
Beef and mushrooms...my favorites.

We discovered East West Shabu Shabu
while on a Disneyland vacation a few years
ago. It's only about 10 miles from Disneyland
and definitely worth the drive. We've been
back several times since. It's one of our
favorites.

The top left and mine on the right below is
sukiyaki. Sukiyaki is cooked in a skillet
with a much more flavorful cooking liquid.
The sauce is usually made from soy sauce,
mirin, sugar and water. Mirin is a Japanese
rice wine with a low alcohol content and a
high sugar content. I tend to like sukiyaki
more then shabu shabu. To me the flavors
are bolder.
Swish is a solid Japanese hot pot restaurant
that we have been going to for years. They
specialize in Shabu Shabu and Sukiyaki.
The meat we've gotten over the years is
generally high quality as are the vegetables.
Prices are reasonable for what you get, and
they also have a menu of sides and sushi. If
you are in Las Vegas give them a try...I recommend it. Click here for
a short video overview.

Little Sheep Mongolian Hot Pot is an all
you can eat hot pot restaurant in Calgary.
They have a good selection of items and
everything came out fresh. The broth
was tasty and we both enjoyed it. Being all
you can eat we were both stuffed at the
end. This generally doesn't happen with
hot pot. The only negatives were no ponzu
sauce or onions. Other then that it's definitely
worth checking out.

Sushi Maru serves Sushi/Shabu Shabu in
Northgate, just north of Seattle. There is
also a location in Spokane. I don't think the
Spokane branch has hot pot though. It's
been a few years since we've tried this
restaurant. It's a conveyor type sushi
restaurant that also does Shabu Shabu.
It was good, you may want to check out
some newer reviews before trying it though.
Here is a video of our experience there,
which was around four years ago.
And finally we come to our homemade
hot pot. Ours is always tasty and fun. The
only thing we struggle with is getting the
meat sliced thin enough.
These are our favorite hot pot restaurants.
We have tried a few more (Shanghai Lilly
comes to mind), but these are the best. I
encourage everyone to give hot pot a try.
Get out of your comfort zone and try
something new. Hot pot is flavorful to
eat, fun to partake in and also pretty
healthy. Give it a try!
