Asian Restaurants
My favorite Asian restaurants in Philly
This is a global hot pot chain. If you've never had hot pot before, you're missing out. You are served a flaming pot of savory and spicy flavored broth along with raw meats, vegetables, and starches. You cook all the raw food in the hot pot and eat immediately. Great for a cold or rainy day.
Beware, wait times are very long during busy times.

Shanghai Soup dumplings (上海小龙包) - say no more.
