IPOT

If you simply can’t decide between grilled or boiled meats, get both at IPOT. This large group-friendly AYCE place in the Sunset has tables outfitted with grills and tubs of boiling broth. For about $38, choose two flavors from over a dozen different options and order a never ending supply of thinly sliced meats, marinated proteins, and noodles (the biang biang noodles hanging on a mini clothes line are a must). One thing to note is that IPOT limits you to ordering from their QR menu once every 15 minutes, so there is some strategy involved. If you miscalculated and get a little peckish, or need an activity to fill the time, cruise to the sauce bar and play mad scientist or turn around and get a few small bowls of complementary veggies, fruit, and Jell-O. If you’re not the sharing type, IPOT also has individual pots for parties of four or less.
