Zhao Er Hotpot (Main Branch)
赵二火锅（总店）
An old oil-based hotpot restaurant beside Wanglongmen, known for handmade seasoning and bold flavors. The space is dated, but it keeps the traditional Chongqing style of eating.
This long-established restaurant is on the third floor of 128 Jiefang East Road, close to Wanglongmen Station. Navigation apps may lead you to the side entrance, so take the stairs up to the third floor. It is a classic Chongqing old-oil hotpot with bold flavors. The kitchen still makes its seasonings by hand and does not serve potatoes, taro, or yam, so the starch does not cloud the broth. Recommended dishes include fresh tripe, raw-trimmed duck intestines, old-style sliced meat, and Meilin luncheon meat. The average cost is about 60-75 yuan per person. The space is dated, some diners say the service is average, and the roads nearby are narrow and congested, so driving is not recommended.
