Asian Fondue-Style Restaurant To Debut In Ross

ROSS TOWNSHIP, PA — A Florida-based chain is preparing to open a location on McKnight Road. Hong BBQ and Hot Pot will open on June 2, the restaurant posted on social media; a job fair will be held there May 28 and 29 from 12 p.m.-7 p.m.

Hong BBQ will be located at 4801 McKnight in the space once occupied by Ocean Treasures, a Cajun seafood and bar.

According to the restaurant chain's website, Chinese hot pot, also known as Chinese fondue, is a popular cooking method throughout China and other Asian countries.

How does it work? Broth inside the pot boils over specially designed heaters, and patrons have a variety of protein options (meatballs and thinly sliced beef are popular) to add to their pot. In addition to the protein choices, diners can add noodles, vegetables, tofu and more into their soup.

The restaurant chain currently has locations in Bradenton and Tampa. It will open a restaurant in Grandville, MI also on June 2 and plans to add a location in Lakeland, FL.
