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...

The hand-pulled lamb is highly recommended by the Chinese restaurant A Bite of China. In an alley, I was intoxicated by the long queue. Just wait in line, I just want to know how delicious it is! After waiting in line for more than 20 minutes, I ordered the meal, paid for the lamb, and then had to find an empty table to sit... It was a bit embarrassing. However, the lamb is really delicious, tender and not greasy. Zhang Xiaomei ate at least three lamb chops and absorbed the grease on her hands. I recommend that you must try Xining's handmade yogurt if you have the chance. It is smooth and tender. Sweet mash should be sweet wine made from highland barley. The milk skin is also quite unique and not cheap, costing 30 yuan per piece.

Muslim Yixin Lamb Hand-Pulled Meat Restaurant A restaurant that was featured in "A Bite of China 2". The braised hand-pulled lamb is priced by weight and tastes good. The business in the restaurant is booming. The lamb flavor of Yixin Lamb Hand-Pulled Meat Restaurant retains the original local purity. It is a time-honored specialty snack shop in a small alley near the mosque. It is also the most famous restaurant in Xining for eating hand-pulled lamb. The lamb is very tender and soft, without any smell. The owner is a typical Qinghai Muslim and pays great attention to Muslim eating habits

It is not as famous as Ma Zhong Restaurant, but it is actually very well-known locally. The hand-pulled mutton is 88 yuan per catty, which is not cheap in Xining, but the meat is very good, tender and not smelly. They are all ready-made pieces, picked and cut on the spot. The prices of other dishes are also cheap, and the quantity is very large!! After all, the price level in Xining is very low. The green vegetables seem to be more expensive than the meat dishes. It should be noted that the hand-pulled mutton here is actually called "braised hand-pulled meat" and "braised potatoes" are actually fried potato cubes, both of which are delicious. Yogurt is highly recommended, 6 yuan a bowl, good value for money!

As soon as we arrived in Xining, my friend took us to this restaurant for dinner. There were a lot of people. We lined up to order and the food was served in about a quarter of an hour. The mutton and beef here were delicious, the noodles were chewy, and the yogurt was rich in milk flavor. I will patronize it next time.
