Nothing says love quite like sharing the same dish, and there’s no better place to share a big hot pot than Simmer Huang. The sleek and modern restaurant is renowned for creating a unique version of the traditional Chinese hot pot, which will be cooked on your table right in front of you and your date. Step inside the one-of-a-kind restaurant and staff will lead you to one of the snug red vinyl booths. You order one of two ways: Either build a DIY hot pot and pick your own ingredients from a selection of meats and seafood, or choose one of their preselected combos. All of their simmer pots feature a base of butter paste and veggies, with the main protein on top and spices for seasoning. They also feature Simmer Huang’s special secret sauce and their signature fresh noodles that are made by hand.
