Zhaojia (Guosheng) Mutton Soup (Main Branch)
赵国胜羊肉汤
A long-established mutton soup house in Heze and a top choice for visitors, famous for its secret-recipe chili and crispy flatbread.
Zhaojia mutton soup first opened on the north side of Dongzhan Community, a run-down shop of just over ten square meters. Its secret-recipe chili and crispy flatbread made it famous across Heze, and local media call it the top choice for visitors who want to try mutton soup in Heze. The main branch is now on Zhongshan Road, southwest of Dongzhan Community, at the northeast corner of the Development Zone Central Hospital. It serves both red and white broths, and beyond flatbread it offers small baked buns and pan-fried baozi, so the menu is broader. Prices run a little higher than at typical mutton soup shops, but a bowl with flatbread still costs around RMB 10–20. It suits breakfast or lunch. Other branches are in urban areas such as Zhonghua West Road.
