喜洋洋(中山四路店)
A long-running neighborhood favorite for comforting Chongqing home-style dishes, especially tender millet ribs and soy sauce chicken.
Diners describe this as a decades-old, unpretentious local restaurant with a lively everyday feel. It is known for generous portions, quick service, and familiar Sichuan-Chongqing flavors rather than elaborate presentation. The signature dishes are popular enough that arriving late may mean missing out.
