Next to be featured is Asian Express Hot Pot. We interviewed owner Ming Wang.

Why did you decide to open the restaurant?

A group of friends came together to open the restaurant after years of working in the food industry. The restaurant is named to represent the sauces and bases used for hot pot that is influenced by different Asian cuisines from countries such as China, Japan, Malaysia, and Korea. Thus, the name Asian Express Hot Pot. 

How long has the restaurant been open?

13 years.

What is the style of cuisine served at the restaurant?

We serve individual hotpots with your choice of bases and sauces. 

What makes your restaurant special?

We offer over 30 different sauces for variety, so there is something for everyone!
