"For an upscale experience in a spacious setting with attentive staff, head to the Macau-based Dolar Shop’s East Village location. Guests can store their belongings in sliding cubbies before ordering on iPads. Unlike other places, the personal hot pot – covered with a protective porcelain – can be divided for two broths. Make those the peppery, creamy “silver broth” made with chicken and pork bone and simmered for eight hours, and the light, herbal black truffle broth. The wagyu short rib, shrimp pate, scallop, and flounder are also highlights. Reservations are a necessity for those who want to avoid waiting." - Caroline Shin, Eater Staff
