What it is
A Chengdu hotpot chain institution — where the city's visiting families and local birthdays converge, the broth is the capital-S Sichuan style, and the queue is the credential.
How to order like a local
Sesame-oil dip as always; add oyster sauce and coriander the Chengdu way. Beyond the canon, order the duck intestine and the mushroom sampler. Put your name on the list via the app before you leave home — walk-ins wait an hour at peak.
Good to know
Sichuan hotpot runs hotter than Chongqing style on the numbing axis: pace the first twenty minutes. One hundred yuan per person with drinks.
