Jin's Pot

We enjoyed these fancy water glasses!

You get boiled peanuts -- pretty tasty if you're into boiled peanuts.

There are many interesting meats in this dish.

Notes: 

• We didn't recognize a lot of items on the menu.
• It's VERY quiet.  There's not even music!
• The luncheon meat in the hotpot was delish.  Like firm slices of Spam.  Yum.
• Jenne liked the broth a lot.  I (Miko) wasn't crazy about it.  It has a slight bitter note.
• Fried pork in stew!  That is interesting and unexpected.
• The mystery meat pot reminds me a bit of our experience at Gorilla, but without the pounding music.
• The staff is very nice.  They have a Brita filter for their water jug, which is a nice, thoughtful detail.
• The boiled peanuts are tasty.
• The little details are very cute -- the coasters, glasses, trivets.
