Young Art · Yong Ya He Xian (Tongzilin East Road)

As the chain’s flagship, this restaurant showcases live river fish such as long snout catfish, cavefish, and yellow head catfish cooked in Sichuanese style or in hot pots; the owner even acquired a fish farm to ensure their quality. The signature duo hot pot broth features a spicy base made with chicken, pork bones, chillies and pickles, and a tangy tomato base of Xinjiangese tomatoes. House-pickled bamboo shoots from Mount Tianmu are a must.
