I drove all the way to Xiangyang, checked into a good hotel and went out for a walk. I searched for this restaurant on Dianping. The reviews and praise rate were quite good. It was also a local restaurant, so I wanted to try it. It was relatively easy to find. It was on the fourth floor of Tianyuan Four Seasons City. You could see it when you went straight up. The storefront was not big, and the dining space was limited, which was a bit cramped. The waiters were very enthusiastic and took the initiative to seat and order food, which added points to the restaurant. There were many dishes, mainly local dishes, and the taste was great, which suited my appetite. The price was also very favorable, less than 60 per person. If you like Hubei cuisine, you can choose here. It feels delicious and affordable to me. I recommend it!
First of all, the service is very enthusiastic. Secondly, there are a lot of free porridge, rice wine dumplings, drinks, side dishes and snacks. The local hanging pot chicken is very chewy. If you are an elderly person, it may be a little difficult to chew.
