The Dolar ShopCHAIN

6.7/10Chinese

AI-generated summary

Everyone gets their own pot, which is why people pick it over the group places. Get the wagyu beef, and the is the vegan option people name. The free at the end comes up a lot. The common complaint is price, and some say it isn't better than cheaper spots.

  • The quality and execution is really top notch! The broth is tasty and the meats are tender! Also a lot of freebies like a dessert bar with popping boba and really good soft serve!

  • Dolar Shop in the East Village also has a vegetarian broth option and is good because it's personal hotpot as well so you don't have to share broth with any non-vegetarians.
