The taste is good, the amount of food is large, the roast goose is very unique, and other dishes also have their own highlights. The environment is good, there are private rooms, and the service is also very good!
Recommended!
There is no shortcut in the catering business. You need to carefully cook a pot of soup and fry a dish. The taste buds of diners are the test paper for the standard. Chunji is already very well-known in Guangxi, and the signature dishes and specialties of the store are always loved and recognized by consumers. Chunji South Asia Store, located in ~~, has convenient transportation, with multiple buses to reach it, and the environment is also very good. Chunji's service is usually impeccable, but this time I have to complain: I booked a private room a few days in advance. Because the dining time is late, I called the customer service on the morning of the dining day to pay a deposit in advance to order the dishes. Unexpectedly, the customer service said that the store serves dishes quickly and there is no need to order the menu in advance. I can go there and order. There were a lot of people eating in the restaurant. After all, it was the end of the year, and many enterprises and institutions were having dinner parties. We called for a long time in the private room, but no one came to take care of us. The waiters were all busy. Finally, a trainee came, but he was not familiar with the business. He couldn't take orders for half a day. Then he asked for a change, and waited for another half a day before another person came. When we ordered, many dishes were out of stock. We finally ordered more than ten dishes, but several dishes were out of stock. It was very late to finish the meal [angry] Chunji's signature dish is of course roast goose. It has a unique taste, moderate saltiness and sweetness, and each piece of roast goose is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. There is not much subcutaneous fat, fat but not greasy, and it is really amazing to eat with sauce. It is a must-order every time. The Hehua fish is tender and smooth, with few bones and more juice, and it has good color and taste. There are also grilled lamb chops. The ribs are lean but not dry and will not become shriveled. It is very satisfying to take a bite. This place is really suitable for gatherings with friends and inviting guests. The food is served very quickly. The kitchen has a transparent window design, which is clean and bright, allowing diners to eat with peace of mind. The dishes are changed frequently to satisfy the tastes of most diners.

Haitian Rice Noodle Roll is quite famous. I came here specially for breakfast. The business is really good.
The first time I ate it, I chose a combination. The rice noodles with shrimp and beef cost 11 yuan. The rice noodles are all freshly made and very fresh and hot. The white porridge is free and you can serve yourself a bowl to eat with the rice noodles.
The rice noodles look good, the shrimps are big and the ingredients are sufficient, the beef noodles taste good, and their spicy sauce is really fragrant and delicious, which is a bit memorable.
I have been eating rice noodle rolls since I was a child and I particularly like it. As far as I know, there are three types of rice noodle rolls, except for the Cantonese style rice noodle rolls, Chaoshan style rice noodle rolls and the "Qiong style" rice noodle rolls in my hometown, which are mixed with Chaoshan style and Cantonese sauce, and the essence is the method of beating an egg. I think the method of Haitian rice noodle rolls is completely independent of the above three. As it says on the store door, it is a school of its own. Add to that the unique hot sauce of Guilin, I wonder if it can be considered "Guangxi style"?
🌿 This store is very lively. Not only do people who speak the local dialect come to eat, but also accents from all over the world gather here. The queue at the peak of lunch time takes at least 20 minutes. This is a fast food restaurant. People basically leave after eating. There is no need to occupy seats at all, and occupying seats also affects the turnover of tables.
🍛 Ordered a portion of [Mushroom and Lean Meat Rice Noodle Roll], picked up a corner of the rice noodle roll and put it into my mouth to taste. The smooth lean meat filling has a hint of orange peel aroma, and the spicy sauce is rich in taste. The strong aroma of bean paste is followed by a hint of sweetness, and the bean flavor and sweetness blend perfectly. The filling and spicy sauce of the rice noodle roll are amazing, but the rice noodle has become a supporting role, not smooth enough, and even a little soft. In this restaurant, you eat fillings and sauces, not rice noodles. [Cai Xin] is wrapped in a layer of oil and steamed in a steamer. The steaming time is just right. The rice noodle has a crispy taste and the oil increases the aroma. It is also worth recommending.
If you are used to eating Cantonese-style braised intestines, you may not be used to this rough "Guangxi style", after all, the rice noodles don't taste good. However, this restaurant wins in the unique sauce, and you can try another flavor.

Aunt Xu Dessert, is this a very famous local dessert shop? It is located in the city of Guilin. There is also a Haitian Rice Noodle Roll Shop nearby, and the prices are very affordable. The dessert corn and green bean paste are both icy and more delicious. Don't miss it if you pass by.
Aunt Xu's dessert shop in Guilin, please be sure to avoid it if you can avoid holidays, otherwise you will have to wait in line for a long time and it will be so hot that you will not even have a place to sit and eat. There are only a few seats and only two aunties are busy. They are already very fast and you cannot rush them.

It feels very rustic. The farmer's specialty is fish, which is said to be a traditional dish. I chose a slightly spicy level. It goes well with rice. The boat cake tastes good and is quite unique. I am not used to the oil tea. The overall price-performance ratio is still very high.
The taste is really good, I really want to come again and continue tasting it.

The taste is good and delicious, the portion is large, the price is cheap, and the service attitude is good!

Environment: The restaurant is elegantly decorated, the private rooms are spacious, and the second floor offers a beautiful view of the river, so you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Li River while tasting the food.

• "Beer-braised yellow duck fish": the fish is tender, the aroma of beer and chili blends perfectly, there are few fish bones, the portion is relatively large, and it goes well with rice.
• "Passion fruit baked spare ribs": sour taste, good appetizer, the spare ribs are soft and boneless, and the decoration is very attentive and unique.
• "Ginger and scallion Lijiang shrimp": golden color, crispy and delicious, it is a good dish to go with wine.

After a long time of selection, I finally decided on a hotel. I liked their river view room and chose to stay for 2 consecutive nights.
After placing the order, the housekeeper immediately contacted me by phone and WeChat, and asked about the specific needs in detail. It was very attentive. The housekeeper was Xiaoshi, who reminded me of various benefits throughout the whole process, such as hotel travel photography, late-night beef noodles, etc. Thank you very much, Xiaoshi, and chicken legs~
After arriving at the store, I took the initiative to explain that I upgraded the room. From the room, I can see Fubo Mountain. The view is very good. The bed is very comfortable, the bathroom is large, and the bathroom is separate. The TV in the room can be projected~
During the travel photography, I made an appointment with Teacher Xiaomeng, who has a very good attitude and takes very good photos~
The environment is good and the taste is good. I recommend everyone to come and try it. The environment is good! The taste is good! The environment is good and the taste is good. I recommend everyone to come and try it. The environment is good! The taste is good! Very beautiful

Top local rice noodle shop, famous for braised meat noodles
Verified user reviews
It tastes good and most importantly, it's cheap. It was introduced by a local. Attached is a price list. The rice noodles in Guilin are counted by liang. I added 5 yuan worth of meat, a fried dough stick, and 2 liang of rice noodles, which was enough.
This is a famous Guilin rice noodle shop on Lequn Road in Guilin. The traditional braised rice noodles, braised meat and pot roast are very delicious, and the brine is very fragrant. It is a small shop on the street that has been built step by step by its own reputation, but this kind of small shop is often more delicious and authentic than big hotels or Internet celebrity shops.

酒店位置非常好，就在湖边，8楼的云端餐厅可以看到日月双塔，还给我们升级了房型，房间很大，很干净，在房间就可以直接看到日月双塔，中午12点左右到酒店，前台服务热情专业，去餐厅吃个午饭，中午太热，小朋友在一楼做个手作，外婆拍个旅拍，简直完美！下次来还会住这里！
The overall atmosphere of the bar is great, the internal facilities are beautiful, and you can see the beautiful scenery of the Sun and Moon Towers and Shanhu Lake from the balcony outside. The cocktails tasted great, and I drank 4 in one go.

When I came to Guilin, I stayed near Zhengyang Pedestrian Street. I found the "Qiufu Rice Noodles" (said to be a popular online store) located in "Zhengyang Pedestrian Street - Shegong Lane". A large bowl of rice noodles cost 5 yuan. The taste was good and the price was cheap. The store was not big and there were many people eating there.
💫 As a Guilin native, although I am not too fond of Guilin rice noodles, Qiufu rice noodles are really an exception! I feel super satisfied every time I eat them, and I can't eat enough! 😋
🍜 The rice noodles may look ordinary, but you can feel its uniqueness as soon as you put it in your mouth. The delicate taste and delicious soup really make people unable to stop! Hahaha exaggeration🔥
💸 The price is also very affordable, only 5💰 for two taels and 6💰 for three taels. Such prices are really conscientious in the city center! 👏
🌳 The store is right at the foot of the tree, and the environment is very comfortable. Although sometimes you need to queue🔥, the waiting time will not be too long, it is definitely worth a try! 👍
📍 Address: Qiufu Rice Noodles-Shegong Lane (the junction of Wenhuagong Temple Street and Zhengyang Pedestrian Street)
💡 Tips: There are many famous snacks near the rice noodle shop, such as Sister Sour Shop, Guizi Sour Shop, Clam Noodles, Lujia Village Tofu Pudding, Little Red Riding Hood Glutinous Rice, etc. You can try them according to your preferences! 👀
