Hot Pot King, Shanghai

Located on busy and trendy Wuhai (sp) road, a trendy and sophisticated crowd of mainly non-westeners. Decor is excellent for a hot pot style restaurant. Nice water feature as you enter and walk up a winding staircase. Cream walls, minimal style decor focused on natural wood accents that look like mahogany branches.

The dual soup ( chicken and schewan) style were btoh flavorfull. The sechwan (sp) broth was a good contrast to the shrimp ( in this case skewers). The mutton seemed fresh and was salmon pink. the dipping sauces were excellent with the peanut based, cilantro, fresh garlic and seasame seeds ( you choice of ingrediants) was very good.

Service was strong on a busy Saturday night. Numerous refills of broth, we had our sauces made and lamb, shrimp etc in less than 10 minutes.

highly reccomended.
