"Richmond is booming with hot-pot restaurants, and this Chinese import is one of the best. In contrast to most other places, which feature a large, shared pot, diners at Dolar get their own individual hot-pots — still with the option of a split bowl containing two broths. It’s the quality of the broths that makes Dolar rise above the others, whether it’s pork leg bone, mushroom, Szechuan hot and spicy, or tomato and oxtail. Items to add to the hot pot are impeccable, and you can always count on a refreshing ice cream cone at the end of the meal. [$$$ - $$$$]" - Jay Friedman
