The hot pot recommended by Chongqing locals is as follows:

1. Dongting Hot Pot

Address: No. 153, Zhongshan 3rd Road, No. 1.

This is an extremely old hotpot restaurant. I used to go to the Labor Union Building and eat there. I haven’t been here for a few years and it has become an internet celebrity. I think you are going to fly. It’s still available at noon. You have to queue up. Many out-of-towners come to experience the air-raid shelters. The food is pretty good, with Mangzi beef and beef whip being the specialty. Others are mass products. Indeed, there are fewer and fewer air-raid shelter hotpots nowadays.

2. Yuwei Xiaoyu Hot Pot

Address: No. 86, Loquat Mountain Main Street (next to the Civil Engineering Building).

The taste is generally very good. I chose the red oil pot bottom, which is slightly spicy, slightly spicy, and medium spicy. The mild spicy we want is not spicy at first, but the more we eat, the spicy it becomes. Dry tribute vegetables, cooked and crispy. Bamboo shoots are a favorite of both of ours.

3. Zhu Mama’s Old Hot Pot

Address: Longhu Crystal Licheng, Qingfeng South Road (near Songshi Road).

The taste is indeed good, with both spicy and buttery flavors. There is a lot of garlic in the bottom of the pot, which adds a lot of flavor, especially the oil in the oil dish, which I rarely eat, and it also has the aroma of sesame. of oil.

4. Huangjie Hot Pot

Address: No. 163-1, Huangni Village, Wulidian, Jiangbei District.

I ordered both fresh tripe and green tripe. They were completely different from what I had eaten elsewhere, super fresh. The yellow throat is super crispy! Pickled pepper beef is wrapped in celery, pickled peppers, and ginger, which is spicy and flavorful. The beef liver was not as tender as expected, and I didn’t like the taste. The tribute dishes are delicious and taste crunchy when hot. Overall, except for the bad environment, everything else is perfect.

This location is also really hard to find. It’s a long way from Wulidian Lighting Plaza, and there’s no place to park the car, but the store’s business is still booming. There are many locals in the store. If you need to add more food, you have to shout.

5. Yuzong Laozao Hot Pot

Address: Zikang Road, Huangni Pang (near the Justice Bureau).

When the Chongqing clan of Huang Ni Pang lived here before, they treated it as a canteen and everyone came here every now and then. I haven’t been here for five or six years since I moved. Bringing friends to eat today. The level is still online. The taste of old hot pot is spicy but not dry. The food is all good, but the portions are smaller.

The store is small and the environment is poor, so it is inconvenient to say more. It is a reflection of most Chongqing family-style hotpots. The service is basically non-existent. It is understandable that there are few waiters in the store. I can only say that the taste is authentic from Chongqing. There are a lot of peppers and the butter smell is very strong, but the dishes are all in small bowls and the portions are really small.
