Chinese Restaurant: Little Sheep

Little Sheep Hot Pot

Hot Pot is such a staple in Chinese dining, it’d be a real shame if you came here and didn’t jump in the bowl. In a nutshell, they boil a pot of broth on your table, and you order raw meat and vegetables to cook yourself. Of all the Hot Pot restaurants, though (and there are many), Little Sheep is my favorite. The food is better quality, and the portions are bigger.

On the downside, Hot Pot isn’t exactly a “foreign friendly” place, and you’ll probably want to convince a Chinese friend to escort you the first few times you go. Yep, another case of “the menu is all in Chinese.” Fortunately, Little Sheep does have a special picture book of all their foods, and they love bringing this to my table whenever I go there without a Chinese associate.

    I didn’t know they had a picture book. I approve, little sheep.

    I think they only bring it out when there are no Chinese people present at the table.

    Hot pot is great in winter–a couple weeks ago when it was really cold we made it at home with a rice cooker.

    I’ve been told there’s a Little Sheep in Flushing (NYC). One of these days I’ll have to get a group together and and take a long subway ride.
