Last night we had dinner at ”Mai Zi Da Wang” (King of Wheat).Absolutely delicious. The variety of dishes is huge. They don’t have a menu but you don’t need one because the dishes(cook or uncooked) are all arranged on counters in front of the kitchen and you just go there with “fu yuan” and order whatever looks appealing to you. It was very challenging for us though because everything was very appealing. The pastries and breads(meat patties,naan-like breads, taro-root patties) were mouth watering. Actually the restaurant is famous for these wheat dishes. We ordered a couple of cold dishes(apple salad was wonderful),4-5 different pastries and breads(all amazing),3 different fish dishes(all delicious) and one beef dish(very good). We were 5 people but we were not able to finish everything. For all the food plus some pastries to go, plus 4 beers we paid 250rmb.
The service was OK(not excellent but not too bad either).The smoke from the kitchen(which is open) might be a bit overwhelming at least at the beginning when you get there. But after a while we got used with it.
Overall a wonderful experience. We will definitely go back there and I recommend it 100%
It being fairly close, I've been there a few times. Service however is never very good, but the food/price sort of makes up for it. Sometimes its not bad, sometimes its appalling (I once waited almost an hour for my noodles - and they arrived long after my girlfriend had finished her meal)
Sometimes they bring you some small free side dishes or watermelon, sometimes they bring you nothing and just let you watch everyone else enjoying them.
Noodles are well priced and although my girlfriend (from ShanXi) doesn't think too highly of them, I quite like them (at least, I did until they started putting mushroom in the sauce - something I'm allergic too)
The various dishes that they also offer are varied and for the most part very nice. (Most tend to be fairly spicy)
The tea they try and offer you is expensive and not that great. Better to just ask for hot water.
