YNN

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.
