   There’s a highly rated Chinese hotpot place 5 min walk from where we are staying in Seattle. Nice.

   I feel like we are all wanting hot soup every day in PNW weather.

     There are TWO highly rated Chinese hotspots within 5 min walk.

     One is a large Chinese chain I am a fan of, in any city that has them. The other is a smaller and similar locally run Chinese hotpot place. I think we’ll try that place.

     Asking my parents, who live in Singapore, to try Din Tai Fung or Hai Di Lao while abroad is like asking them to try McDonalds. They are so ubiquitous.

     @skinnylatte 💯- when I’ve worked up there (or Portland), there were a few chilly days I wandered into hot pot or ramen shops, got belted in the face by steamy aromas, and immediately fell in love

     @cascheranno hotpots are also what we have for every major family milestone. So it comes with lots of happy memories also

     @skinnylatte orrrr, go into one, order half, and decide then to stroll to the other or order more.

     @skinnylatte My downtown Seattle workmates arranged a walk to Little Sheep hotpot a few years ago.

     The Dolar Shop hotpot has a location close to the Bellevue transit center, in a high rise building which seems to cater to Chinese residents.

     @jonobie SF is especially bad. Possibly the worst in the country. You have to pay rent on a place and keep doing that for the year or two or even 3, without knowing when you can open.

     @skinnylatte I don’t generally think of Seattle as particularly ahead of anyone on permitting, wonder what’s different with SF?

     Also, not sure what your transit situation is, but there are multiple really good food places around the Asian Family Mart in Bellevue. Mostly Chinese (I don’t know enough to know region sorry) and Taiwanese, I believe. The ID is great of course. But Bellevue I think also has had a lot of immigration too, particularly with MSFT close.
