Xiǎo Bīn Lōu

Chongqing City


A gentle introduction to Chongqing cuisine, especially good for the spice-averse. Choose from a selection of small dishes on display, or try one of the set menus, consisting of several small dishes. It's on the 4th floor of a seemingly semi-defunct shopping mall, but the interior is a spacious approximation of an old Chongqing eatery.
