Chong Qing Lao Zao

Chong Qing Lao Zao brings the bold, numbing-spicy tradition of authentic Chongqing hotpot to the heart of Flushing, NY. The restaurant crafts its broth base in-house, following a recipe refined over decades by Chongqing masters who carefully select spices and render beef tallow the traditional way. Reviewers rave about the incredibly tender meat portions and the freshness of the vegetables, all served at a genuinely approachable price. The buzzing, cultural atmosphere suits groups well, and the communal spirit of the hotpot table feels true to its Yangtze River origins.
