Joy Yee Plus Shabu Shabu

There might be fish tanks built into the floors at this stylish spot, but the focus is really on DIY hot pots. For 20 bucks, the seafood hot pot is a stunner: rich shellfish broth with light tartness and good kick from togarashi, plus greens, gourd, shrimp-filled mushrooms, tofu triangles, raw snapper and salmon, clams, scallops, blue crab and a light ponzu for dipping. Meat eaters should tack on an order of the Wagyu. A heaping snarl of udon noodles crowned with a raw quail egg is intended to get dumped in last to wrap up the meal—a bonus considering you’ll want every last drop of the impressive broths.
