No. 9 Alley Hot Pot
Loading map…
Billing itself as the most authentic Sichuan hot pot in Seattle, No. 9 Alley operates out of the Bitter Lake neighborhood and has built a devoted following for its well-sourced ingredients and spacious, calm dining room, a departure from the cramped CID hot pot corridor. The self-serve sauce bar lets diners build their own dipping stations from scratch, and online tableside ordering keeps the pace efficient. The mala broth is refined rather than reckless, complex enough for purists but approachable enough for newcomers to the format.
