Reviews
- giant_capuchinThis Donglaishun over on Xinghuo West Road was super easy to find and parking was no hassle. The vibe inside feels really classic and old-school, and the space is huge — they even have a big private room upstairs that fits like 16 people, perfect for a work team dinner or hanging out with friends. The hand-sliced fresh lamb is honestly the star, it's a nationally recognized heritage dish and you can tell why — super tender, and they do that thing where the meat sticks to the plate when you flip it upside down, which apparently means it's the real deal. The all-you-can-eat hotpot is a really solid deal too, you can just keep going on all the meats and veggies. Service was great the whole time, staff were friendly and attentive and food came out fast. Came here on a cold day and a big pot of hot lamb broth was exactly what I needed, especially with their freshly fried chili oil and those sesame buns on the side. Honestly such a satisfying meal, I'd come back for sure.
