Xiaolong Chuandajiang was born in 2016 and is another hot pot brand created by Renzhong Management Group after Xiaolongkan. The difference between the two is that Xiaolongkan takes the route of parity and takes young people as customers, while Xiaolongchuan Dajiang is positioned in the middle and high-end, suitable for all kinds of banquets. In 2017, after Beckham dined at the restaurant, he posted a number of hot pot videos on his personal social account, which made Xiaolong Chuan Dajiang also accumulate a lot of popularity overseas and became the first choice for locals to entertain foreign friends.
The luxurious and exquisite environment is the main selling point of Xiaolong's overturning river. Its wide and narrow alley store with the theme of dragon fighting in the wild, combining Suzhou gardens with Bashu wind, the main entrance hangs a dragon more than ten meters long, the rockery pond is always smoky, the courtyard is stacked with green tile gray bricks, and there is an attic private room on the second floor in the middle, and the entire wide and narrow alley is in full view. With the theme of a dragon crossing the river, the 6.8-meter-high two-storey carved building is designed to resemble an ancient merchant compound, and the railings and window lattices in the store are exquisitely carved to complement each other with red lanterns. Both stores have a center stage, and there are daily performances of guqin, tea ceremony, face changing, and Sichuan opera.
In terms of the bottom of the pot, the seasoning of Xiaolong Dajiang is the same as that of Xiaolongkan, which is mainly fried by Guizhou Mantianxing and Henan New Generation, but the amount of butter is significantly more than the latter, so the oil fragrance is more mellow. In terms of dishes, the signature dish of the same name, Xiaolong Chuan Dajiang, is of high quality, and the fat of the beef brain meat is evenly mixed, the taste is soft and delicate, and the big red dragon boat in full bloom is also quite magnificent. The rest of the special dishes, such as the best hairy belly, ice hockey goose intestines, rose fresh meatballs and Tianxiang pork ribs, are shared by the two companies, and the quality of the dishes is not significantly different, but the presentation of Xiaolong over the river is more exquisite.
Kuanzhai Alley Store and Chunxi Road Store are located among the most popular attractions in Chengdu, and many tourists gather in front of the door every day, and the atmosphere is relatively noisy. The service staff is well-trained and has a strong sense of service, and will take the initiative to help customers adjust the fire and serve the food, but the passenger flow is large during peak hours, and occasionally there will be untimely responses. There is little difference in the taste and quality of the dishes between the two stores, and the environment has its own characteristics, but it is not easy to park around the Kuanzhai Alley store, and diners who drive themselves are recommended to go to the Chunxi Road store.
