Chongqing Lao Zao

Behind the facade of lanterns and traditional architecture, the kitchen specializes in scratch-made spicy beef tallow (ma-la) broth. The menu focuses on classic Chongqing ingredients like beef tripe, goose intestine, and pork aorta alongside black tofu. If you order the milk beef, the meat is soaked in milk before cooking to ensure a soft texture and milky flavor. Diners can customize their dipping sauces or request the restaurant's dry spicy powder (乾碟). Expect attentive service, but be prepared for significant wait times.
