6. Qianhe Taiwanese Restaurant
The cozy, relaxing interior perfectly matches the vibe of a classic Taiwanese eatery. The Grandma’s Braised Fish is a standout — tender fish meat soaked in deeply flavorful broth. It also serves Bread Ice Cream, a popular dessert chain staple, with affordable tasty ice cream worth trying. Horse Hoof Lotus Root Salad is incredibly appetizing with a mild spicy kick. Braised pork wrapped in lettuce has a gentle sweet taste and ultra-tender meat, while the stir-fried noodles come with soft chicken strips.

7. Dongjiawan Hot Pot
Every detail, from its beef tallow broth base to the signature one-meter-long lamb slices, reflects the chef’s dedication to quality. A tranquil dining environment paired with thoughtful service elevates the whole dining experience.
Distinct from traditional northern hot pot, Chongqing-style hot pot here uses sesame oil dipping sauces. The dipping recipe is simple: pure sesame oil base mixed with minced garlic or a dash of vinegar, as the rich broth already delivers full flavor; extra seasonings would overpower the original taste. Simply add garlic to your oil plate to fully savor all hot pot ingredients. Beyond standard meat and vegetables, it highlights duck intestines, tripe and blood curd. Crispy fried pork and brown sugar glutinous rice cakes are classic Sichuan snacks available here.
