As early as 1924, Tan Yuguang, the founder of Xiao Tan Douhua, carried the burden to sell Douhua in Chengdu Anle Temple, and the business was particularly hot, so he opened a small shop called "Tan Douhua" in Yanshikou in downtown Chengdu, which gradually made it a famous snack in Chengdu. Nearly 100 years later, the fourth generation of Xiao Tan Douhua has a rich product line, and the pace of expansion has reached all parts of the country, becoming one of the business cards of Chengdu cuisine. Many foreign tourists come to Rong and will choose Xiao Tan Douhua to taste the flavor.
In addition to the bean curd that makes it famous all over the world, Xiao Tan also provides noodles. Diners who don't know the truth will think that this small shop famous for its bean curd is mixed into the noodle list, in fact, Xiao Tan bean curd is just as good at producing noodle noodles and has a variety of styles. Bean curd noodles are one of Xiao Tan's fist dishes. As the name suggests, bean curd noodles are added with bean curd noodles as a companion, and toppings such as minced meat, red oil, and chili peppers are added. Before eating, you need to mix the ingredients well, although the mixed bean curd noodles have no appearance, but the flavor is full, the finely minced meat is wrapped in the sauce of the gravy, and the smooth bean curd will make the noodles more smooth, which is very worth trying.

Xiao Tan Douhua currently has five branches in Chengdu, with the West Street store, Chunxi Road store and Daqiang East Street store being the most prosperous. These shops are mainly decorated in an antique style, with a protruding black tile eaves at the front and a huge black plaque indicating the name of the store. A couplet of "four generations of tasteless, one store fragrant for a hundred years" hangs at the door, highlighting its identity as a nearly century-old store. The West Main Street store has been open for the longest time and is the most popular with long-time local diners, so the restaurant has to wait in line almost all the time, and the environment is a little messy in the crowds, with grease stains on the table and paper towels scattered on the bottom, so diners who are worried about this can choose other branches.
As an old shop, Xiao Tan Douhua also has an old-school style in service. The waiter's attitude is cold, but the task will still be completed as usual, and the dishes will not be too lazy.
