If you are in the Joliet, IL area and looking for something different, stop and visit Hot Pan Noodles and Dumplings. It is a small restaurant in a strip mall that offers fresh made noodles and dumplings with an Asian flair.
We have been there twice recently. On our first visit, we had lunch. We shared an order of the Pork Dumplings and an order of the Dan Dan Noodles with chicken. The dumplings were tender and tasty and came with a fresh made sauce for them. The noodles were pleasantly spicy and full of flavor. A generous portion made it a very satisfying lunch indeed.
Saturday evening, we had the opportunity to go there for dinner. We met another couple and agreed to try an option they refer to as "Hot Pot", which was compared to a fondue. The Hot Pot is an all you care to enjoy dining experience that you have two hours to complete. At this time, the menu price is $15.99 for adults.
You can have a normal broth, a spicy broth or both. We opted for the spicy broth. Once you have selected the broth, and you can begin selecting what you will enjoy with the broth. Meats included lamb, chicken, beef, pork and for an additional fee, shrimp. Veggie options were also plentiful. They included spinach, broccoli, bok choy, wood ears and many others. If that is not enough, you also have a choice of noodles and sauces to choose from as well.
All items to be prepared were brought to the table to be prepared. There was no questions asked when we requested more of anything. All of the items appeared to be prepared to order. The noodles for the Hot Pot are not their homemade noodles, but were just fine for the meal.
Come hungry, be adventurous and enjoy the experience.
