Akao Jia
阿靠家傣味手抓饭
A popular hand-pulled rice restaurant in Ruili, serving a mix of meat and vegetable side dishes with glutinous rice. It is sour, spicy, and appetizing, and best shared in a group.
Akao Jia is famous for its hand-pulled rice (Shouzua Fan), which features a large platter of meat and vegetable side dishes paired with glutinous rice. The ingredients are fresh, and the flavor is sour and spicy. Reviews often mention that the fried pork belly is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Diners can also add potato and sauerkraut soup, pounded eggplant, and Paoluda (a coconut dessert). Although the sign says Dai flavor, some diners describe it as Jingpo-style hand-pulled rice. Located at 1 Xinguang Road, it is listed as a recommended dining spot in Ruili's official travel guide, with new reviews continuing into 2026. A platter of hand-pulled rice costs about 98 CNY, with an average spend of 37 to 44 CNY per person, making it more suitable for sharing among several people. The restaurant may close between lunch and dinner services, so it is recommended to avoid visiting in the afternoon.
