Lip Spicy Chongqing Old Hot Pot - Business Reviews

People who usually eat Sichuan-style hot pot may not know the lip spicy hot pot, but they must know the wide bench old hot pot all over Beijing. These two franchise-based hot pot brands are actually built by the same team. The Lip Spicy is characterized by the brand of "using Nongfu Spring Mineral Water", which is relatively more eye-catching. Although the person in charge of the lip spicy horn has different statements about the relationship with the wide bench. However, the Lip Spicy number is marked with the words "Wide Bench Honorably Produced" on the signboard, and the canned sesame oil brand of the wide bench is the Lip Spicy Number. The products of the two are the same, and the menu has the same types such as Jiugongge super spicy, private chef three fresh mandarin duck pot, private chef mushroom soup mandarin duck pot, tomato mandarin duck pot and so on. The obvious difference is that the bottom of the pot is boiled with mineral water, and each table is equipped with Nongfu Spring mineral water, which is used to add soup to the bottom of the pot, hoping to attract attention with the concept of healthy water. The industry believes that this is just a gimmick with limited meaning, and it is difficult to become the core competitiveness of the brand. The taste of the lip spicy horn and the wide bench is similar, and the taste of the red soup pot is mediocre, which is difficult to get praise from diners who pursue authentic tastes. There is no obvious problem with the ingredients in terms of hygiene, the portion is large, but the handling is not very good, the hairy tripe, tender beef, square bamboo shoots, these crispy and tender ingredients, are not crispy enough, not tender enough, even the self-service ice powder is a little too strong. Duck intestines and duck blood taste good. You can also try the old tofu made by hand, divided into yellow tofu and black tofu, some branches can platter it, the old tofu is more chewy, the bean flavor is strong, customers who like this taste feel that the aftertaste is endless, and some people feel that the beany smell is a little heavier. The service of the Lip Spicy Horn is similar to that of the wide bench, which is relatively cold and wooden. Most of the branches are not large, and the wooden benches and wooden square tables are simple and clean, but the floor height is not high, which makes it a little depressing. And there are many small tables, resulting in a long waiting time. At present, there are more than 100 franchise stores in Beijing, and the quality control is not very good. Lip Spicy was established in 2015, and there are twenty or thirty branches, although the franchise fee is relatively high, but there is a similar situation in quality control.
