Hottest 86 Rebrands As 86 SuperStar, Now Serving Sushi And Hot Pot On 86th Street
A few months ago, Hottest 86, an all-you-can-eat sushi and shabu shabu (hot pot) restaurant closed its doors for renovation.
The location is now back up and running, and appears to have re-branded as 86 SuperStar at 2172 86th Street. It’s unclear if it’s new owners, but it doesn’t sound like it.
A post on WhereYouEat.com tipped us off to the reopening.
If you’re unfamiliar with shabu shabu, diners are given a pot a boiling water or broth and a spread of thinly cut meats and vegetables. The foods are put in the water, where they cook rapidly, and are then dipped in sauces before being crammed into the face hole. The broth is then had as a soup at the end of the meal.
It’s pretty damned tasty, and I might hit up Hottest – er, SuperStar for dinner tonight. Anyone ever been?
