Grand Joy Hot Pot

Although I’ve been to a lot of ramen places, this is the first hotpot place I’ve been to in this format where you pick your ingredients from a wall of choices and then they add the broth in the kitchen. I liked it a lot better than the way I’ve done it where there’s a hot pot on the table and a conveyor belt that delivers ingredients. This way you can really customize your order from the hundreds of things on the wall.

I was really impressed by the friendliness of the employees and the freshness of the ingredients there. Featured broth is definitely the way to go on your first visit. We tried a couple, and they were both good, but the Featured one was really stellar.

It’s not apparent online, but there are more choices than just mild and hot. You can also get medium, which is what we settled on, and it was perfect.

This place is right across the street from our apartment, so we’ll definitely be back!
