Tongxinchun Catering, the dishes here are pretty good, the food is delicious, the Tongxin steamed buns are delicious. This is an old restaurant. It was my first time to eat sand onions, and the taste was very good, very good.
The taste is unique. Although it is a snack bar, the quality is still excellent. The sand onion is delicious. It is the first time I have eaten sand onion and it tastes very good. The hand-pulled lamb should be boiled in plain water, very tender and smooth, not bad.
I came to Yinchuan on a business trip and came here from a hotel in the west of the city. To be honest, it was a little below my expectations. Maybe my friend described it so well that my expectations were a little high. When ordering, I was told that the roasted lamb was out and I could only eat it with my hands. The overall store environment is OK, at the level of a medium-sized restaurant. The service attitude is OK, but sometimes I can't understand what they say. Hand-grabbed: Half a catty is actually not much, and the cuts are relatively large. It is a bit inconvenient and not enough for several people to share; the taste is very light, there is no smell of mutton, and the taste is fresh and tender; Sand onion: I only heard about it before, but I didn't expect it to be edible. The taste is very light, a bit like leeks. My fellow leek lovers said it was very delicious; Steamed lamb in a bowl: Although the lamb is tender, it is too oily. I felt a little greasy at the end; Cold skin: Because my colleague doesn't eat spicy food, I ordered sesame sauce flavor. The sesame sauce was not ground finely enough, and the taste was average. The cold skin itself is very chewy. Overall, it's not bad, about 80 per person.
The taxi driver recommended that the locals like to eat here. I ordered hand-pulled lamb, shallot, sauerkraut noodles, steamed lamb in a bowl, and eight-treasure tea. After eating it, I still remember that this bowl of sauerkraut noodles is really delicious!
Tongxinchun is ranked first in Yinchuan. We arrived here at around 8 o'clock. When we ordered, we found that all the waiters were Hui people. Their service attitude was super patient and enthusiastic. They explained the names of dishes you didn't understand, and they would add water in time if it ran out. The environment was also very clean, tidy, spacious and atmospheric. The kitchen was also visible through transparent glass, so you could see everything inside and feel at ease. I recommend you the signature dish, hand-pulled lamb, which is very delicious without seasoning! You can try to sprinkle only a little salt to retain the pure taste of lamb! There is also their eight-treasure tea, which tastes better and sweeter the more you drink it. In short, it is basically all local and northwestern dishes. It is guaranteed to leave you with a mouthful of flavor, excellent!
I looked up popular restaurants in Yinchuan online. The hand-pulled lamb wasn't greasy and was quite soft, but it was served warm and went cold before I even finished half of it. (I arrived at 6:30 AM.) The scallions were very chewy and firm, with a unique, slightly oniony flavor. The steamed lamb was mushy and greasy, and the pancake on top was cold. The pan-fried beef pancakes (I forgot what they were called, see the picture) cost 30 yuan a plate, but they were warm, not crispy on the outside, and had no flavor. The beef filling inside was dry and tough, like wood chips, and tasted terrible. I told the waiter it was cold and not freshly made, but no matter what I said, they would just say, "It's freshly made!" The manager came and said if it was too cold, they would heat it up. They'd all been made that morning and microwaved before serving. I was so drunk. A very disappointing meal. Oh, and it was 180 yuan for two.
The store is at the corner of the intersection, easy to find. The white-cut lamb is very tender, without any mutton smell. The eight-treasure tea has plenty of ingredients and tastes good. If you don't have time to eat it, you can put it in your own teacup and take it home, and you can brew it many times.
