Da Long Yi conquered Chengdu in the early days of its establishment in 2013, and stars such as Stephen Chow, Aaron Kwok, Wang Ziwen, and Yi Jianlian have all frequented it, making it one of the most difficult hot pot restaurants to queue. Subsequently, it won the first place in the market share of Chengdu hot pot takeaway, and was awarded the honor of "Sichuan Catering Gold Medal Store". In addition to the six directly-operated stores, it currently has more than 70 franchise stores nationwide, which can be said to be blooming everywhere.
The authentic taste of Da Long Yi depends on its base, and it is specified that Pixian bean paste, Hanyuan red peppercorns, Sichuan cinnamon and Erjingtiao are selected, which are very authentic. The spicy red soup pot is the most enjoyable, but the slightly spicy, medium spicy, and extra spicy degrees of each branch in Guangzhou are slightly different, so it is best to ask the waiter before ordering. There are mobile food trucks on site to refill, which can be more numb or spicy. However, Da Longyi added a homemade recipe, and the bottom of the red soup pot was spicy, so those who minded chose carefully.
The production of different branches is not stable, and in September 2016, a franchise store in Wenzhou was exposed to use inferior oil. In the end, Dalongyi launched the flight inspection mechanism, inspected the franchisees from time to time within a year, and changed the hot pot base from oil packaging to oil mixing, so as to eliminate the situation of franchisees refining old oil from the source.
In addition to the vegetables from Guangzhou, the Guangzhou branch also has other ingredients such as big knife hairy tripe, homemade shrimp slippery, mille-feuille tripe, Sichuan crucian carp skin, etc., which are flown from Chengdu every day, which is fresh enough.
The decoration style of the store is unified, although it uses red lanterns, wooden tables and chairs, and hollow screens, it is different from the simplicity of Xiaolongkan and Xiangtianxia, and it feels bright and gorgeous when you enter the store. Before serving, customers will be provided with aprons to avoid splashing red oil, and the waiters will be more active and enjoy the meal.
Among the popular group buying websites, the taste scores of each store are slightly different, but the overall taste remains above 8 points.
