QingZhen Yi Xin Mutton ShouZhua Guan (HuaYuan North Street)

Very good, it's the kind of old restaurant you want to eat at. I chose this place for my first meal in Xining. I'm very satisfied. There are no fancy gimmicks or discounts. It's a real meal and a real life. It's great. I ordered a little too much.

I came here after seeing the recommendation from Ctrip. It's really good. It can be said to be the best beef and mutton restaurant I have eaten in the entire Northwest in recent years. First of all, it has the best cost-effectiveness, the portion is full, and the price is calculated by weight, so you can eat it with confidence. The price of beef and mutton is similar in all parts of the Northwest, but it is more expensive in Xinjiang. Secondly, the quality of the meat is the best. There is nothing sloppy about the beef tendon, and the same is true for the hand-pulled mutton. There is more meat and less bone, more lean and less fat, and the tenderloin under the keel is not less, which is something I have never eaten in other places. You can even tell which part of the meat each piece comes from. See the picture for details. Third, the taste. Everyone has different feelings about this, so I won't comment on it. In fact, you can tell by the quality of the meat. I feel that the main theme is the conversation.

A very famous halal hand-pulled mutton restaurant in Xining. The mutton is really delicious. It costs 98 yuan per pound and can be vacuum packed and taken away. The packaging fee is 6 yuan per pound. There are many waiters so it is quite fast.

Arrived at 6:30 pm, there was already a long queue at the door~ Then I realized that I had to queue outside to order food first, then queue inside to pay, and then find an empty table to eat... This is the process... So division of labor and cooperation is very important... It took less than an hour and I was already sitting and waiting for food... Came out after 8 o'clock, and there were still queues for cashiers and ordering food, more people than before... I suggest you arrange time to go earlier... And queue separately to find a seat... The environment is so-so, the tables are cleared quickly, it's clean, and the waiters are not bad... Let's have a cup of tea first... hao tea? mao tea? Too noisy to hear clearly, lightly salty... The yogurt is really sour, you can add sugar... The wild yellow mushroom tastes special... I met locals queuing up, holding the menu to highlight the key points...

Xining's popular Muslim mutton restaurant is very popular. Locals usually order two kilograms of meat per person, and each table is served with a large plate of meat. Everyone eats with greasy faces, relishes and is satisfied. Outsiders like us, in addition to large pieces of meat, also try the local specialties such as hand-pulled rice and sweet barley wine.

There are a lot of people around 8pm, so it's best not to go alone. You have to queue up alone, and then others can find a table to sit. The hand-pulled lamb is actually delicious without the chili sauce. I don't eat dry-fried lamb intestines. The fermented glutinous rice egg drop soup is delicious.

After leaving Dongguan Mosque, you can find the famous Muslim Yixin Lamb Hand-Pulled Restaurant in the alley two or three stops away. Many people come here because of its reputation. I arrived at 11:00 am and queued for an hour. As the name suggests, the most famous dish is lamb, and almost every table ordered a variety of lamb. In addition, their snacks are also superb. Yogurt, soybeans and wheat kernels, sweet mash, and dry noodles are all delicious. The thin layer of yellow milk skin on the yogurt is simply appetizing. The sweet mash has a refreshing flavor of fermented rice, which is appetizing and helps digestion.

Eating meat and drinking soup in big mouthfuls is the most appropriate description here. The mutton is very delicious and has a strong mutton flavor. Even I, who don’t usually like to eat mutton, can’t stop praising it. The yogurt here is also delicious, the original fermented sour kind without additives.
