Donkey meat is really super delicious. When I came to Kaifeng, I wanted to eat donkey meat in addition to soup dumplings. My friend recommended this restaurant. I was really amazed when I came here. It was so delicious. I fell in love with donkey meat in an instant.

The donkey meat soup tasted really good, and there was a lot of meat. It was very satisfying to eat with shredded pancakes.

I used to go to the one at Xiaonanmen, this one is also good

An old shop in Kaifeng. The taste is good. The donkey meat hotpot is OK.
