WangJie ShaoKao (Zhongshan Road)

The once prosperous Zhongshan Road has fallen into decline, but the only popular and famous Qingdao snack Wang Jie BBQ is located here. Many friends have grown up eating here. Every day when the door opens, foodies from all over the country who come to Qingdao for tourism and local foodies from Qingdao will line up to wait. At first, cash transactions were always insisted here, even after mobile payment was opened for a few years, cash was still insisted on. It is often an uncle or a slightly younger guy who collects the payment. You just need to report the amount and he will tell you the amount immediately. In recent years, payment codes have also been purchased, which is much more convenient. Compared with many franchise stores, I always feel that the old store is delicious, but the price is getting more and more expensive, and the squid is getting smaller and smaller.

I like their grilled pork belly. To be honest, I basically don't eat grilled squid, haha, because there are too many reports about it. Many old-fashioned beer houses in Qingdao retain microwave grilled meat, and Ye Wonton Shop has the taste of charcoal grilled meat. Every time I pass by, I always find an excuse to eat grilled pork belly. I like it for no reason. The big brother who collects money is very fast in calculating the bill, which is amazing

Wang Jie BBQ is still very popular in Qingdao, distributed in various districts, with storefronts! This store is actually on Zhongshan Road, and it is also a store with a long history. The grilled chicken hearts, grilled squid, and grilled chicken gizzards are all very good. The grilled meat is also very tasty and affordable!

No doubt, no matter whether you are full or not, you will come to Wang Jie BBQ to take a look and smell the aroma when you come to Zhongshan Road. If you happen to encounter a queue with few people, then you can order a few skewers of electric grilled chicken hearts and pork belly and finish them on the spot! Suddenly I found that the old man who was responsible for collecting cash and placing orders has become a shy young man. If it weren’t for the barbecue, the old man’s mental arithmetic and memory would definitely be the second Hua Luogeng in China [sleep][sleep]

It's always so popular. This Dragon Boat Festival holiday, Qingdao was packed with tourists. I waited a long time, and they still only accept cash. But that didn't stop the lines. Zhongshan Road is home to a few popular snack shops. They seemed quite popular this time, and the specialty shops were pretty good too. The only problem was that the shopping malls and other places were closed. Lida on Gaomi Road was still a bit crowded, but everything north of Pichaiyuan and along Jiaozhou Road was closed.

Wang Jie BBQ is incredibly famous in Qingdao, and anyone visiting Qingdao must at least try the grilled squid. I'm told there are plenty of fake Wang Jie BBQs. I found the main branch at the intersection of Zhongshan Road near Pichaiyuan, and they only accept cash. Having already had lunch, I decided to try a skewer of grilled squid. Unfortunately, the taste was just average. Perhaps it was the electric grill? It was still warm right out of the oven, lacking the aroma of charcoal or teppanyaki grills.
