Wang Ma's is a street-food stall on Bayi Road Snack Street in Yuzhong District, one of the well-known food-vending strips near Jiefangbei where Chongqing's late-afternoon and evening street-eating culture is concentrated. The stall's specialty is hand-torn roasted rabbit, a Sichuan-Chongqing regional favorite prepared with a dry mala spice rub rather than a wet broth, then hand-torn into strips at the counter so the seasoning and texture stay consistent through every bite. Alongside the whole roasted rabbit, the stall serves a mala dry-rub rabbit head, a dish that carries genuine local cachet as a delicacy rather than a novelty item, and spiced rabbit legs for those who prefer a simpler cut. Like most stalls along Bayi Food Street, there is no seated dining room -- service is street-stall style, with portions sold to go or eaten standing near the stall itself, and no reservation system of any kind. It opens at 4PM and runs until 11PM, matching the street's broader rhythm of afternoon-into-evening snacking rather than formal meal times. The stall is a good stop for visitors wanting to sample a distinctly regional Chongqing snack food that is harder to find outside street-food strips like this one.
