My foodie friend insisted on bringing me here to eat, saying that whenever he passed by Lanzhou, he would get off the highway and rush over for a meal.
When I called, the private room was fully booked. Later, we finally squeezed out a small private room in a corner. My friend ordered all the dishes he thought were delicious. The dishes were so large that they couldn't fit in. The six of us only finished one-third at most. But it was really unique and left a deep impression.
This is the main store of Asia. It is magnificent, with a huge scene, and the waiters are well-trained. It is on the list of must-eats in Lanzhou every year and is well-known to the locals. It's just too far away. It took nearly an hour to drive here by Didi.

Beef noodles in the morning, mutton at noon. Drinking Sanpaotai, I play cards in the game of throwing eggs. Looking at Gaolan Mountain, looking at the iron bridge. The boy is energetic, and the girl is energetic. The fermented skin is well-mixed, and the sweet embryo is long. The lambs on the mountain, hold the sheep's hooves. Malatang is the dealer, and the potato eggs are crisp. Lily is dug for nine years, Guimi white melon, Sanzi is served to guests, and Youxiang is sent to family members, The gurgling water of the Yellow River nourishes the people on the shore.
Lanzhou's famous No. 1 Banquet Restaurant has been operating for many years and has grown in size, from a bungalow to a multi-story building. It adheres to the unique flavor of the northwest, with real ingredients, delicious taste and generous portions. There are a large number of private rooms in the entire restaurant, with excellent hygiene and good privacy. The beef and mutton are both local delicacies in Lanzhou, Gansu, and are surprisingly tender and fragrant. The homemade yogurt is smooth and sweet, just in the heart of the field. Delicious is delicious, but I was drunk to eat it for the first meal in Long.
If you're in Lanzhou and want to enjoy authentic local cuisine while experiencing the halal-friendly architecture and comfortable interior, the people of Lanzhou will proudly tell you: Axia is worth a visit. A dozen of us arrived at Axia, the long-awaited "Dubai of Lanzhou." With half an hour left before dinner, we wandered around the first floor, which primarily featured pastry counters, local specialties, and scenic views. Suddenly, a loud voice rang out. It was the manager encouraging the staff to make final preparations and prepare to be at their best for the upcoming customers. I thought to myself, "I'll definitely have to keep an eye out for this restaurant's service standards." Upon reaching the second floor, an oversized copper kettle loomed before us. I later learned it was handmade. As I marveled at the master craftsman's skill, my friend called me from the elevator to the third floor. I awoke from my dream and hurried to catch up. As we reached the third floor, the moment the elevator opened, I was stunned. A dreamy corridor, richly decorated with ethnic charm, appeared before me. I took photos and checked in smoothly, then followed the group to the restaurant's legendary largest private room. Turning the corner revealed another scene. "Magnificent" wouldn't be an exaggeration, right? It was undoubtedly the largest private room, easily accommodating over 20 people. We ordered our dishes. Since there were so many of us, we ordered a wide variety, so we divided them into must-try, hot, cold, and snack categories. #Must-eat Stir-fried Lamb Puyi's imperial cuisine used lean Jingyuan lamb, arguably the finest quality. The rich aroma of the lamb wafted through my nose before I even ate it, and the tenderness was palpable. Braised over high heat, the savory, flavorful broth permeated the meat, and the experience of devouring the Northwest flavor of meat was incredibly satisfying. Highly recommended. Hand-Pulled Lamb Yes, another lamb dish. Hand-Pulled Lamb is a popular specialty in Northwest Chinese cuisine. Seeing this mutton with a mix of fat and lean, even a bit on the fatty side, I immediately tore off a piece, chewing and savoring it slowly. The aroma permeated the dish with the distinctive garlic. The mutton's mutton smell was minimal, and the texture was excellent. Compared to the hand-pulled lamb from Fat Mama's last meal, I can only say it's on a completely different level. It's a steal! Roasted Lamb Back The skin is roasted to a golden brown, with a crispy texture and a tender interior. Sprinkled with chili powder, it's salty and spicy. I personally prefer the roasted lamb back, and it's still highly recommended. Sour and Spicy Sandwich This local specialty, I've always been confused about what it is, but today I finally figured it out. It's made with ground beef between two layers of fried egg skin, deep-fried, and then stir-fried with green and red bell peppers. It's incredibly tender and delicious, and you should give it a try. Stir-fried calf slices (if I remember correctly, that's what it's called) This is a specialty dish that goes really well with rice. It's made with beef slices, onions, and potato vermicelli. It's incredibly filling. The beef is so fresh, fragrant, and tender. I have to admire the quality of this restaurant's dishes. Their consistency is amazing. #hotdishes Other hot dishes include Dongxiang potato slices, lotus root vermicelli casserole, spicy lamb trotters, scallion and egg, pumpkin steamed lily bulbs, and blanched broccoli. Personally, I think the spicy dish is the best.
There are a lot of people eating here. It was full from the beginning to the end. The taste is also good. It is very grand after reopening. The place is very spacious. Generally, it is almost a must-eat place when you come to Lanzhou. It is best to go early or there will be no parking space. Also, the service feels slow when there are too many people.
When traveling to Northwest China, our first stop was Lanzhou. We took a taxi from Lanzhou Tujia Hotel to Asia, specifically to eat lamb. The meat was indeed tender and delicious, and the environment was also very unique. The three of us spent less than 200 yuan, which was a good price.
