Wagyu House by The X Pot

Wagyu House by The X Pot is an all-you-can-eat wagyu restaurant at 1147 S. Delano Court East in the South Loop, with Japanese shabu-shabu and yakiniku on the menu. Each seat has a personal burner and a choice of broths such as spicy miso, tomato and sukiyaki. Robots deliver ingredients to the tables, while 360-degree projections and themed soundtracks play across the dining room, and The Infatuation recommends the room for big groups and birthdays.
