Yefu Huoguo is an ideal stop for travelers touring the various hot pot restaurants around Chongqing. This restaurant may not be as fancy as some of its competitors, but its lip-tingling soup more than makes up for its humble appearances. With a dozen or so tables crammed into its small interior, the restaurant’s atmosphere is cozy, homey and a little rowdy. Diners can order a variety of ingredients for their hot pot, including thinly sliced meat, vegetables, and eggs. If the soup proves too fiery, cold beers can be had for cheap to help quench the fire.
