  Found this place down a side street on Fangjia Hutong — kinda tucked away but easy enough to find if you search the full name (Woniudejia Aimen Town). Travel theme with a Yunnan food and craft beer focus, super chill vibe and the staff were really friendly. The must-try is their signature chicken hotpot — chicken so tender it falls apart and the potatoes are basically melted, everything's packed with flavor. Not as heavy or oily as some braised chicken dishes but the seasoning was spot on. The lemongrass grilled fish was a real surprise — looks kinda dry but it's super moist and juicy inside, and the dipping sauce they give you is really fresh and cuts through the richness. We spent just over 100 yuan per person and the portions are huge. The mint beef rice noodles we got, two people could've easily shared. Honestly the food was on par with their other locations. If you're into Yunnan food or just wanna try craft beer with some interesting dishes, definitely worth a stop.
