Shout out to server Thai (Allison) for the great service!
Just stopped by after I saw this had opened last week. I am personally accustomed to a more traditional hot pot where you cook the food before eating but this was a very pleasant change! I got the Mala Dipper (spicy) on happy hour special that included a green (or black) iced tea, veggie or pork spring roll and the dipper meal.
I was blown away by how delicious and simple the green tea was. Not too sweet, a hint of lavander maybe? and completely refreshing. Honestly some of the best green tea I've ever had.
The pork spring roll was just as delicious and the sauce that accompanied it was equally phenomenal!
The dipper meal came out in a nice styled hot pot with a timed burning material that burns out after a while so your pot isn't always boiling. A great touch to allow your food to cool down after a period of time. The veggies in the dish were delicious and the broth was the perfect amount of spicy. It seemed like everything in the bowl perfectly accompanied and absorbed the flavor of the broth.
Will definitely be coming back to try some more dishes and highly recommend trying.
Attended their grand opening event. Lots of people helped celebrate their 3rd location. First time at any Little Dipper restaurant. Unique concept for a restaurant. Typically for hot pot, consumers place raw ingredients into the pot of broth to cook. This restaurant individualizes the hot pot experience by pre-cooking the hot pot for you. Lots of pre-set choices for protein and for vegetables. In additon, you select rice, vermicelli, or glass noodles with your hot pot. Lastly you select your level of spiciness. In short, there is a perfect balance of preset and individualized selections for a great and unusual dining experience. You won't be disappointed.
