Loveland’s Newest Obsession: The VIP Guide to the Ultimate Hot Pot Experience

For years, if you wanted a legitimate, high-end Hot Pot or Korean BBQ experience, you had to drive down to Denver or Aurora. Not anymore.

Loveland’s newest dining obsession has officially arrived, and it is bringing the ultimate interactive, all-you-can-eat experience right to Northern Colorado. If you have never been to a hot pot restaurant, here is the breakdown: your table has a built-in induction stove, you get a pot of boiling, insanely flavorful broth, and you order plates of raw, premium meats, fresh noodles, and vegetables to cook yourself right at the table.

• Where: Loveland, CO

• The Vibe: High-energy, interactive, and loud. The perfect spot for a group dinner or an elevated date night.

Because it is the hottest new opening in town, the wait times are already getting crazy. Plus, if you walk in without a game plan, the massive menu and sauce bar will completely overwhelm you. Here is our exclusive Rockstar playbook for skipping the rookie mistakes, mixing the perfect sauce, and knowing exactly what premium meats to order.

Welcome to the VIP side. Here is exactly how to run your hot pot night like an absolute pro:

1. The Broth Strategy (The "Yin-Yang" Move) Do not let your table fight over one flavor of broth.

• The Move: You must order the divided pot (often called a Yin-Yang pot). Put a heavy, spicy Szechuan or Tom Yum broth on one side, and a rich, mild Pork Bone or Mushroom broth on the other. You use the spicy side for cooking your meats and the mild side for boiling your veggies and noodles so they soak up the rich flavor.

2. Hacking the Sauce Bar When you walk up to the sauce bar, you will see 20 different bowls of oils, spices, and pastes. It is a rookie trap to just mix everything together.

• The VIP Recipe: To make the ultimate dipping sauce, combine these exact ingredients: 2 scoops of sesame paste (or peanut sauce), 1 splash of soy sauce, 1 splash of sesame oil, minced garlic, green onions, and a scoop of chili oil for heat. Mix it until it's a thick paste. It changes the entire meal.

3. The Meat Order Since it is all-you-can-eat, pace yourself and prioritize the high-value items.

• The VIP Order: Skip the heavy fillers like rice. Immediately order the Premium Sliced Brisket, the Pork Belly, and the handmade dumplings. The thin-sliced beef only takes about 10 seconds to cook in the boiling broth—dip it in your custom sauce and it melts in your mouth.
