Chen glasses hot pot (Majiapu main store) - business reviews

The market hot pot restaurant is one of the essences of Chongqing hot pot, and it is also the best place to feel the fireworks of Chongqing. The decoration of Chen Glasses is simple, and the distance between the tables is not spacious, and it is common to see the adjacent tables with their backs to the steaming hot pot. The atmosphere of the restaurant is full of market atmosphere, and a large number of Chongqing locals who eat hot pot shirtless and sweating in summer are a common sight for Chen Glasses, and the sound of their wine glasses colliding and fists is endless, and a bottle of ice state guests is eaten when they talk about the rise, showing the wanton and bold of Chongqing people.

Opened in 1994, Chen Glasses Hot Pot has never lost popularity for 24 years, and has always been one of the favorite hot pots in Chongqing Boss Stool (Chongqing dialect for middle-aged men born and raised in Chongqing). The first owner of the hot pot restaurant, Chen Glasses, has retired into the background, and the restaurant is now managed by the owner's son. "Glasses" is a name with strong Chongqing characteristics, in Chongqing dialect, as long as young people wear glasses can be called "glasses", similar to the unified call of chubby girls "fat girl", children are "children", and tall men are called "mangzi". Chongqing people are bold and real, and the locals like to use their nicknames as the name of the store, which is catchy and down-to-earth, which is why the streets of Chongqing are full of "fat girl noodles", "glasses noodles" and "mangzi hot pot".

In terms of production stability, the performance of Chen Glasses is not inferior to the previous two. Due to the full fermentation in the early stage, the durability of the bottom of the pot is quite good, and the flavor does not become lighter after adding the soup, and the aroma is more intense in the later stage of cooking. The freshness of the ingredients is also remarkable, the restaurant has been in business for many years, the supply of dishes is stable, and the dishes arrive fresh every day, and there are almost no cases where the dishes are out of stock or sold out.

If you've had enough of fresh hairy tripe, diners may wish to order a green hairy tripe when they arrive at Chen Glasses. The common fresh hairy tripe is a fresh hairy tripe that washes the mucus and scrapes off the coarse membrane after being cut from the rumen, while the green hairy tripe uses proteolytic enzymes to hydrolyze and tender the proteins in the hairy belly, and after scalding, the proteolytic enzyme loses its activity, so the taste is more crisp and tender than the fresh hairy tripe. The rest of the ingredients are also of high quality, the duck intestines are pink and tender, the coriander balls are fresh and elastic, the dried tribute vegetables are dark green and crisp, the fat intestines are full of juice, and the old meat slices are cooked for a long time.

At present, in addition to the Majiapu main store, Chen Glasses also has 1 branch on Shiyou Road, which is twice as large as the main store. The service staff are all middle-aged women, and there is a shortage of manpower during the peak period, and it often happens that they forget to serve the food, but in terms of service attitude, it is much better than other hot pot restaurants in Chongqing. There is not much difference in taste, menu and service between the two restaurants, and diners can choose nearby, and parking around the restaurant is inconvenient, so it is not recommended to drive there.
