"The staff at Lao Matou (or "Old Pier") makes an excellent version of the dish and, with the help of a short English language menu, can show you how to get the most out of your hotpot experience (and how to keep the spiciness from overwhelming the wonderful flavors of the dish)"

"One of the more well-known restaurants in Chengdu for Sichuan hotpot – your eyes will pop when you see all the chilis and the sauce is amazing."

Chengdu Expat

"We asked for zhong la, or medium spicy, which was pretty soon bubbling redder than any hot pot we’d ever seen, lava-like. We asked for their shrimp balls, which were excellent both in the spicy and in the mild soup."
