Four Seasons Hot Pot

Four Seasons Hot Pot is a solid answer for anyone who feels there isn't enough diverse restaurants in Provo, or Utah as a whole. On a recommendation from a good friend, we decided to pay a visit to the small restaurant on University Avenue.

This was the first time either of us ventured into a "hot pot" experience. Wow. We chose a spicy broth and made our way to the raw ingredients table. The owner of the restaurant walked us through our first round. We added shrimp, chicken, beef, meatballs, Tilapia, a collection of vegetables including Chinese Mushrooms, and a few different varieties of noodles. All of the ingredients get put into the boiling broth on your table top and all there is left to do is grab your chop sticks and enjoy. We made a second soup with noodles, broccoli and beef. The highlight of the meal and what will have us returning often to Four Seasons were their dumplings. I am not, by any means, a food critic, but these dumplings were one of the best things I have ever tasted. We had the pork and cilantro filling and I look forward to trying the other fillings.

The most standout aspect of these drops of heaven is that they are made fresh to order. We placed an order and got up to get some more water and saw our waitress rolling the dough and pinching their edges. They were served in a bamboo steamer on our table. Completely amazing!

After a few goes with the hot pot, we were a bit full, so we took a few of the dumplings home. Of course, they didn't last more than 15 minutes.
