Hu Hot Top 10

We have been to HuHot a number of times recently. I love it for so many reasons, so I thought I'd share our family's Top 10 List of why we go to HuHot so much! (Both Ankeny and West Des Moines)

1) Meat and Veggies: You pick out your beef or chicken or seafood or Shrimp (Wed and Fri nights) or all of the above. Then add tons of veggies. Then some sauces. There are various types of noodles to add to it too. 

2) Unlimited. I'm pretty sure HuHot loses money on our family when we eat there. You can go back as many times and try as many combinations as you'd like. 

My 2 year old ate tons of veggies
& had a fun time! 

3) Kid Friendly. Once you get seated, you are immediately directed to start building your meal and the kids are involved every step of the way. They love being completely in control of what goes into their meal and our boys LOAD UP on the veggies (the same ones that they refuse to eat when I cook!). Be sure to find the Kid Chopsticks too! 

4) Entertainment. You get to watch the Mongolian (or pseudo-Mongolian) cooks grill your food in front of you. Great way to keep the kids (and hubby) entertained through a meal. 

5) Service. Our rice was waiting for us at the table and our drinks were always full. We've always had very friendly service and willing to help any way they can. 

6) Price. This is a good and bad one for us. It's $12.99 for each adult meal (which is a bit higher than we typically budget for). Kids over 3 are just $4.99 (which we would pay for crappy mac-n-cheese somewhere) and our little guy eats for FREE! So we spend our typical $36 for a meal but get tons of healthy meats and veggies so it is completely worth it for us. 

7) Fast. From the time we got seated until our food was ready to eat was only about 15 minutes. However, during the busy times expect a wait. It is a popular place in Des Moines!

8) Flavors. I love mixing all of the oils to create an individual flavors. Each time I take the first bite--it's exciting! I'm not sure we ever made something we don't like. You can keep it as plain or spicy as you'd like. 

9) Locations. Both locations are easy to get to and off of the interstates. 

10) Great for all types of eaters. We can go there with vegetarians, Paleo people, carb-loaders, kids, ANYONE and everyone gets something they love.
