Temple Terrace is quietly coming along as a foodie hotspot thanks to spots like TacoSon, Kay's Kitchen and Pho Quyen. And now a new all-you-can-eat restaurant, Yum Yum Hot Pot, could be open in a few weeks.
The joint is tucked away in a strip mall at 11301 N. 56th St., Unit #6, and owner Cuong Chau told Carlos Eats that Yum Yum Hot Pot is still a few weeks away from completion
If you've never dined at a hot pot restaurant, diners sit at a table outfitted with a metal pot filled with simmering broth and surrounded with plates of raw ingredients like meats, seafood, fresh noodles and vegetables. Diners add ingredients and cook them to their liking, then begin to remove bites with chopsticks, dip them in a sauce and then attempt to smack the entire pot in the hopes of earning a food coma. You're basically making your own dinner with ingredients you wouldn't otherwise have access to in such abundance.
More details to come on Yum Yum Hot Pot when an official opening date is announced.
