Chongqing Lao Zao, located in the heart of Szechuan, brings the rich culinary culture of Chongqing, China to Flushing, NY. Known as the birthplace of 'Ma-La' Numbing-Spicy, this restaurant offers a taste of authentic Chongqing hotpot, a reflection of the chef's memories and love for the city's food.
Surrounded by waters and mountains, Chongqing is an industrial and commercial hub in West China, earning its nicknames as the 'mountain city', 'foggy city', and 'furnace city'. The original hotpot, cooked in a big pot and shared among poor boatmen of the Yangtze River, inspired the concept of Chongqing Lao Zao, where diners can enjoy a feast of various dishes cooked together in a boiling hotpot.
