Reviews
- smooth_peonyGot the Qingjiang catfish stone pot fish and wow, the fish was so tender and the broth was super rich and fragrant — honestly tasted like it came straight from Erhai Lake. The Yunnan small pot rice noodles soaked up all that soup, lightly spicy and went perfectly with rice. The Erhai mushroom platter got thrown into the pot and the broth got even thicker and tastier, the mushroom flavor mixed with the fish soup was just perfect. Loved the whole freshly-pounded broth ritual thing too, so tangy and aromatic, really opened up my appetite. The place is bright and comfy inside, great for hanging out with friends — you can just eat and chat and totally chill out.
