A taste of Zhangjiajie

Granny Gong's Country Kitchen (cable car branch)

龚婆婆土厨（索道店）

A small, cheap country kitchen near the cable car, doing sanxiaguo and Tujia home plates at close to local prices. Useful precisely because it sits in the tourist zone but has not priced itself for it.

What to order

Point at the Chinese. Staff will understand it even where the menu has no English at all.

  • Three-in-one pot (三下锅)
  • Cured pork stir-fry (腊肉)
  • Stir-fried greens with chilli (小炒青菜)

What it actually tastes like

Sour-spicy, offal present in the signature pot, bones left in meat dishes.

Allergens in this kitchen

soygluten/wheat

This is the kitchen, not one dish. Woks, fryers, blanching water and utensils are shared in almost every Chinese restaurant, so for a serious allergy treat the whole premises as the unit rather than ordering around it.
