Bunu Hot Pot enjoys an excellent reputation among locals and is a popular choice for banquets and gatherings. It boasts a much better dining environment than ordinary street eateries. The restaurant is famous for its beef tripe, which only needs a quick blanch in the hot pot. Its texture is similar to Beijing-style quick-boiled tripe. It is well worth a try for visitors.

I’m particularly fond of roast lamb legs, so I’d like to highly recommend this place. Its mutton soup and sesame flatbread are hearty and flavorful. If you love mutton, you’re in for a treat here. Its roast lamb legs taste comparable to those served at Mongolian King Restaurant in Beijing, and some even wonder if it is a branch of that restaurant.
