DJDQWe were the only table here for lunch on a weekday.
The three of us had three plates of beef, 32 each, one beef ball, one tripe (a little small), fried bean curd skin, green vegetables, rice noodles, and we were full.
There is no menu in the store, but the prices are fair, not exorbitant, so you can eat with confidence.
The shacha sauce in the store is really delicious. My dad praised it highly and planned to buy some to make sauce for steamed buns. I don’t know if shacha sauce can be used to steam buns. . .
You can park near the door and you won’t be ticketed.

When traveling to Nan'ao Island, in addition to enjoying the natural scenery, you must eat the local beef hotpot. The beef hotpot in Chaoshan area is famous throughout China. The beef is cut very thinly, very tender and fresh, and melts in your mouth. The hotpot soup is also delicious.
A beef hotpot restaurant I often go to, it has remained the same for several years
Very delicious beef hotpot restaurant, great beef, affordable price
