Best L.A. Hot Pots and Shabu Shabu

Ondal 2 is known for their spicy crab soup. The waitress will set a big pot of spicy boiling soup at your table and deftly cut up pieces of crab. In goes the bean sprouts and other veggies and then you get cracking (pun intended) on the crab. After that comes torn little pieces of dough (sujaebi) that boils in the soup. But you're not done there. Then comes rice, mixed into the remaining soup for a delicious fried rice. Come hungry....
