Little Chili Chongqing Hot Pot
Dianping rank (as of November 26): 5
Average rating: 4/5 stars (263 reviews)
A Guijie stalwart, Little Chili fulfills all your late night, gut-destroyingly spicy hot pot requirements. Dianping users are fans of the spice encrusted beef (as if it needed any more spice) and the crispy pork crackling.
Users say: “So spicy! Pretty fragrant too. I like the ingredients, especially the duck blood and the pork slices, although the stools are really uncomfortable.” (mattietao)

This new Americana-themed pizzeria in Solana has swept up the rankings recently. Judging by the pictures, sweet potato pizza and a selection of lurid cocktails seem to be the order of the day. Don't say we didn't warn you.
Users say: “On our second visit, we ordered completely different dishes from the first time. The flavor of the pasta was really good and the kiwi juice was tasty, although a little expensive. Overall, it suited our tastes and we'll definitely be back.” (吃货L小胖)
