xi lai deng te se restaurant

After visiting the Confucius Mansion and Confucius Temple, it was already noon and I was hungry. This Sheraton is not the Sheraton Hotel. It is a well-known civilian restaurant in Qufu, Shandong. The price and taste are very good, so many locals come to eat.

There were not many people when I came in at noon. I was worried at first whether the food was not good. But many people came one after another around 1:00. I felt relieved when a whole family came. The menu here is also totally inconsistent with the food. I thought that the Kongmen tofu and fish soup were small, or at least medium-sized bowls, but they came in two large pots. I was so full that I couldn't eat it. So there were a lot of bones in the fish meat in the soup that were not removed. You have to be very careful when eating. The taste is very delicious, and not as salty as other Shandong dishes. The chive box is very fragrant, but too salty.

服务好，菜品质量好，摆盘好看，性价比高

The portions are huge. If you order the pan-fried dumplings (which are basically steamed buns), don't bother ordering rice. I went at 11:00 AM, and it was slightly less crowded then; by 11:30 AM it was packed. I recommend going early.

It tastes amazing! I've taken friends from out of town to try it, and they all said it's a great local specialty!
