What travelers say:
Zhaomaimian is a legendary restaurant in the minds of people in Dujiangyan. Eating a bowl of dumplings and sweet noodles here is a kind of complex in the hearts of locals. Red oil dumplings and sweet noodles are their special snacks, and many people come here for their reputation. Good wine needs no bush. Although Zhaomaimian is not easy to find and the environment is poor, it is a typical "fly restaurant" in Chengdu, but there are already many diners before meal time. It is common to queue up, and several popular noodles are sold out in the morning. If you want to eat, you must come early!

After leaving Dujiangyan, I went around and around to Zhaomaimian, which is said to be a famous local restaurant. Sure enough, it was still hard to get a seat at 1 o'clock. No need to take a number, all thanks to the fat boss's memory - superb. But the kitchen made my pig intestines noodles into pickled beef... Auntie said, just make do with it... It was red, but not spicy. The red oil wonton was good, the skin was soft and tough, the meat was fresh and salty, the sauce was great, the soup of the noodles was slightly numbing, the noodles were too soft, and the taste was average The white sugar in the sweet water noodles was visible to the naked eye, the noodles were thick and round, half-cooked and raw, really sweet... Too sweet to eat...
#2+1Bare Bears Dujiangyan Tour#No.7——Zhao Mai Noodles There is a yellow shop sign on the small street, but it has faded and has become less conspicuous. The shop is relatively large and has many seats. The shop sells various noodles and fast food. We chose sweet water noodles and dumplings according to the recommendation. Because the shop is Zhao Mai Noodles, we still insisted on ordering a bowl of noodles. 🥢Sweet Water Noodles🥢 The seasoning is rich, the red oil is also more fragrant, and the sweet and spicy flavors and garlic flavors are well integrated, which suits my taste. It’s just that the sweet water noodles are too soft and lack toughness, which makes them taste a lot worse. 🥟Dumplings🥟 It’s the first time I’ve eaten such open dumplings. The dumpling meat filling is not cooked at all, and the taste is very bubble. If the sweet and spicy taste in the seasoning is more obvious, I will like it more. 😋 🍜Vegetarian pepper noodles🍜 Noodle shops in Dujiangyan almost all use this kind of flat chive leaf noodles, which are not chewy at all. They may be OK for soup noodles, but they are not good for dry noodles. My impression after eating is that dumplings are ranked first, sweet water noodles are second, and noodles are third.
Zhaomaimian, located in the ancient city of Guanxian County, Dujiangyan, is on Yangliuhe Street. There are many delicious snacks from Nanqiao to the ancient city of Guanxian County, and Zhaomaimian is one of them. I went there after seeing the recommendation of the WeChat public account of Dujiangyan Scenic Area. The signature Zhaomaimian red oil dumplings, sweet water noodles, and vegetarian pepper noodles are all good, you can consider coming here to eat.
I went there once two years ago, and the reviews of this restaurant were very good at that time, so I gave it a four-star review. This time I went there specifically to eat noodles, but the taste was extremely ordinary, much worse than before, so I came here to write a three-star review. I want to say to those who go there because of its reputation, don’t have too high expectations, otherwise you will be disappointed! The taste is not as good as before, and it is too salty. The price is not cost-effective. In short, it is disappointing in various ways. [Steamed Beef with Rice Noodles] It really knocked over the salt jar. It is very salty, very salty. What else can I say? I scooped a small dish of kimchi in the store, which was also extremely salty. I was speechless again. [Sweet Water Noodles] The taste is similar to the original, but the sauce of the sweet water noodles is thinner than before, and it can’t hold the noodles at all, so the thick sweet water noodles taste very light and unflavorful, which is disappointing again. The taste of the seasoning is still good, sweet and spicy, and it is still very good to mix with thin noodles. [Vegetarian pepper noodles with assorted sauce] The noodles are also plain noodles without any special features. The taste is not very good, the seasoning is relatively light, not fragrant enough, and the meat sauce is not dry and fragrant enough. In short, it is a vegetarian pepper noodle with no special features or highlights. So that's it. One serving of steamed pork with rice flour, 2 bowls of sweet water noodles, and 2 bowls of vegetarian pepper noodles with assorted sauce, we didn't finish them, and we didn't want to waste them, who made your family so weak!
