Hot Pot Social Meal

Join us for Hot Pot in Braintree on a Thursday night! Hot Pot is a fantastic wintertime meal, in which we cook our food in broth at the table and enjoy each other's company along with a yummy meal. For those who have been around awhile, you know I love hot pot and enjoy bringing the group to a hot pot restaurant just about every other year.

The premise of hot pot is too cook your food at your table in soup broth. Pots are shared and the only utensils to go in the pot at the serving utensils. Unlike last year's restaurant, this is not all you can eat. You order off the menu and they bring out your order all at once. You can always order more though. They also have other food options available including sushi and you can order anything off the menu to be cooked in the kitchen. Check out their website below for more info.

The variety of dishes and dozens of combinations, both mix and match and pre-determined, make for a unique fun dining experience. This enables us to interact with each other even more so than at our non-hot pot event meals.

Largest table sizes are for 14 and 16 people. The next largest table size is for 6 people.
We can have the table for 14 people as long as we have 12 people.
Otherwise, we will be split up among a couple of 4-top tables next to each other as the tables cannot be moved.

Please bring small bills ($1s or 5s for Event Fee, $10s or $20s for Annual Fee please) to pay for the event fee. When in doubt, please make this easy and bring cash. We will check with our server/restaurant about separate checks in advance and then again upon arrival but make no promises or guarantees. (Note: I am going to ask if we can get a bill specifically for those ordering hot pot and one for those not ordering hot pot to help simplify the bill paying for us but cannot make any guarantees. )
