I went out with my friends today. After I was tired, I came to Fengmao nearby to eat skewers. Their panda lamb skewers and charcoal grilled pig heart are delicious. You don’t have to grill the skewers yourself. They are automatic. There are waiters to help watch. The food is delivered by robots. The store is also very clean. The waiter’s attitude is also very good. After eating, he will take the initiative to hand over toothpicks. It is a very good store. I will bring friends to eat again next time~
Recommendations: Freshly skewered lamb, premium steak skewers, large tendons, honey chicken wings, potato cakes, handmade bread, spicy beef skewers y
The service is very good, the quality is also good, and I have never been disappointed. It is super delicious, the lady is warm and thoughtful, I especially like to eat their lamb skewers, and their coffee table is also very nice. The environment is also very comfortable. It is cold, and it is also very comfortable to sit next to the oven and eat skewers. The waiter is very attentive. After eating, he will take the initiative to bring toothpicks and mints. It is so warm.

The seaweed is crispy, the rice is cooked in beef bone broth, and the filling is rich (crab meat + mayonnaise + spinach, etc.). It is simple but amazing, cost-effective, and can be taken away. It is a convenient version of the Korean "rice bag vegetables".

I came here because of its reputation. It's very popular. It was full at 4 o'clock. The environment is clean and the taste is good. The meal set for two people was very filling. The waitress was very attentive. Must give 5 stars.
Before I got up, I went out to play and ate at some very delicious restaurants. If I don't record them, I will easily forget them. If you haven't been to Yanji, I strongly recommend going there once! ! Not for anything else, just for food... There is nothing to play, but the food is really great!
I personally prefer Korean food to Korean food. Many Korean dishes nowadays are fusion, and they look very "Internet celebrities", very foreign, with a lot of cheese, a lot of hot sauce and seasonings. Yanji is still a very traditional restaurant, with a more simple and homely taste.
This is a very famous local restaurant, and local college students will go there to eat. Needless to say, this meal is difficult to make and tastes bad, right? It is worth mentioning that the tofu and rice crust in this restaurant are very special! Tofu and rice crust are a bit sweet, not greasy and unique. If you like to eat dishes with a little sweetness, you should like it. The meat in the rice crust is particularly tender and tasty! The sauce soup is also very authentic.

"Xiao Shijie" Domestic Tour 📍 Jilin. Yanji Food Tour
I came here for |Jajiangmian^, but it was not as amazing as expected. The most missed jajangmian in my memory is a takeaway ordered by the landlord in a guesthouse in Jeju Island a long time ago. I never found that taste again. For example, I felt that the sauce was thick enough but not sweet enough this time.
However, |soy milk noodles^ tasted better than expected when I tried it for the first time. It was not as cold as the legend said with ice chips. There was no pressure to eat it in early autumn. I was worried that the combination of soy milk and noodles would not be harmonious, but it did not happen at all. The soy milk base and noodles had a light salty taste, which was still very harmonious.
|Sweet and sour pork^ was recommended by the store, and it was really good, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Pour the juice on it while it was hot and eat it quickly.
I ordered takeout from the hotel at night. Maybe I had too high expectations, so I felt it was just average. The portion was large and the price was not cheap. I couldn't eat more. The noodles with soybean paste were not bad, but the teppanyaki mapo tofu and sweet and sour pork were all average.

The power of a brand is trustworthiness. Creating a brand is definitely not a one-day effort, so you still have to recognize the brand. In this society where fakes are mixed with real goods, always remember that you get what you pay for. True gold is not afraid of fire. Shunji has her reasons, and it tastes different.
Shunji cold noodles, Yanji cold noodles are so delicious, the soup is like a cold drink, very refreshing

The beer house is very popular at night, and you need to wait for a table when you go. There are snacks and lemonade while waiting, and the dishes are suitable for beer. Crescent bone rice balls are a combination of seaweed rice and stone pot bibimbap. The rice contains spicy and pork cartilage, wrapped into meatballs, and wrapped with a circle of seaweed. It is very delicious. Potato fish skin is spicy and crispy, a good dish to go with wine.
The environment is a bit like Korea, the food tastes good and the service attitude is very good.

Wow, I came here because of its reputation. I just caught up with the peak dining time. Although I waited for nearly half an hour, after eating the delicious food, I felt that all the waiting was worth it. The meat was tender and delicate, oily but not greasy! The service guy was super nice. He was afraid that we would burn it ourselves, so he served us throughout the whole process. Thumbs up, muah!
The Jinli skewers are made of real lamb, which makes you want to see and kiss the delicious taste.

In addition to Daluo and Seafood Restaurant, the best seafood restaurant in Nanguan District is Zhenhaibei Grilled Seafood. The two restaurants are quite close to each other. However, this restaurant mainly serves shellfish, and all kinds of shellfish are cooked in various ways, which are very delicious and you will never want to leave.
I don't know why the restaurant was closed on Sunday night when I came here on the first day. I came here early again on Tuesday afternoon. Fortunately, I was not disappointed. The grilled Arctic scallops were so delicious! I have never seen such a big Arctic scallop in the mainland. Because my friend eats less, he only ordered two Arctic scallops, two horseshoe scallops, and a scallop sashimi. The scallops as big as the face were not ordered. But unfortunately, the sweet Korean sauce does not match the scallop sashimi very well. The boss likes to joke haha. Anyway, you must eat it when you come to Yanji!

One of the popular restaurants for Yanji cuisine, the signboards of Yanji are all in Korean + noon, and the restaurant is also decorated in Korean style. There are many customers dining at noon. There are many delicacies on the menu, but there are only two people, and the appetite is not big, so we can only order a few. The rice rolls are a must-order. The pork belly rice rolls are the most recommended. I don’t like fat meat, so I chose another one that is also recommended by many people, the rice ball crescent bone. There are 8 rice balls in a plate of rice rolls, and two people can’t finish them. The rice balls are very fragrant and wrapped with seaweed, with a bit of a crispy texture inside. The ginseng chicken soup is relatively light in taste, you can add salt, but how can you taste the ginseng flavor without drinking it? There is glutinous rice in the chicken, and the chicken has been stewed very well. It’s just average, a little disappointing. Shrimp and lettuce, my mother wants to eat green vegetables, so I ordered it casually.
I searched online and came to try it. It was really good, delicious and not expensive. Although there were many people and I had to queue, it was quite fast. I will go there again next time. I ordered a breast rice roll, ginseng chicken soup, and two stir-fried vegetables, which was enough for four people.
