#hot-pot

Some hole-in-the-wall restaurants turn out to be exactly that - a hole you don't want to climb into, much less eat at. This is not that, and far from it. Tucked into a cozy spot on North 10th Street in Philadelphia's Chinatown district is a tiny but mighty gem called Chubby Cattle Shabu. From all-you-can-eat Wagyu Shabu to various seafood courses, all served in the restaurant's authentic Chinese-style hot pot setup, you definitely want to eat whatever its dishing out.

Running two restaurants from the same kitchen in Chinatown, Cha Kee serves Hong Kong diner food during the day and Japanese hot pot at night, appealing to late-night shoppers.
