Dish of the week • Vietnamese Hot Pot ($3 per person for broth, and then à la carte charges for raw ingredients, including vermicelli, $2.50, or egg noodles, $3.

In this cook-your-own style of dining, raw ingredients including meats, seafood and fresh vegetables are delivered to your table along with a metal bowl filled with four possible varieties of broth. The broth is brought to a boil over a tabletop butane burner and ingredients are added. The result is a custom-built bowl of flavors over a selection of vermicelli or egg noodles.

Saigon Hot Pot, 3411 S. Redwood Road, West Valley City; 801-906-0452; Open Monday-Friday 11 a.m.-10 p.m., Saturday 11 a.m.-midnight, closed Sunday.
