熙来遥晋菜

I brought my friends here and randomly found a restaurant. I didn't expect the food to be so good. Many dishes are very authentic, and the copper pots are awesome. The bowl holders are also refreshing and delicious. Overall it's good.

Upon arriving in Pingyao Ancient Town, I was immediately recommended Xilaiyao, a 20-year-old establishment. Shanxi truly deserves to be called the "Carb Capital." Many staples here are served a la carte, and the portions are enormous. I strongly recommend ordering a set meal with 1-2 servings reduced based on the number of people you're eating. Otherwise, you won't be able to finish the food... at all! 🌳 Restaurant Environment: The restaurant has an antique feel, divided into a front and back courtyard. It looks like a renovated ancient building. The back courtyard has outdoor seating, and the front courtyard is two stories high. 🍜 Dishes include: Fried Pork, Sweet and Sour Meatballs, Grilled Pork Belly, Fish with Oat Noodles, Bowl Holder, Stir-fried Beef Bun, Roujiamo (Chinese roujiamo), Scrambled Eggs with Aged Vinegar, Pork Head, Dumpling Soup, Pingyao Beef, and more. Every dish was a hit. The sweet and sour meatballs were the softest, most flavorful, and fluffy of all the places I've tried in Shanxi. The pork head was also good and went away in seconds. The scrambled eggs with aged vinegar were unique, with a texture similar to dried tofu. I couldn't stop eating them. The free oil tea for checking in was also special: a sweet, whole-grain porridge that was so nourishing. The staff were also very nice, sharing the historical stories and cooking methods of each dish and even personally preparing our own oil tea. 👍 I highly recommend this place to everyone visiting Pingyao! 💗

I ate it a few times when I went to Pingyao, and the taste is getting better and better. I look forward to eating it in the yard in the summer 😂

This time I visited Pingyao Ancient City and found a great Shanxi restaurant in the ancient city - Xilaiyao Jincai. As soon as I entered the door, I could feel the strong Shanxi style. The environment in the store was clean and tidy, and the service staff were very enthusiastic. From the moment I entered the door, I felt at home. Speaking of dishes, it was really a must! As a famous Shanxi dish, the fried pork is quite authentic. The meat slices are tender, the side dishes are crisp, and the salty and fragrant taste is just right. It is full of freshness and fragrance. The long dragon eggplant has a unique shape, a soft and sweet taste, and tastes unique. The eight-treasure beef kuoluoluo is even more amazing. The soft and glutinous kuoluoluo is filled with fragrant beef fillings, and every bite is super satisfying. There is also yellow rice jelly, which is soft, glutinous and sweet. Dipped in a special sauce, it is refreshing and refreshing. It is perfect as a dessert after a meal. In short, this meal at Xilaiyao Jincai not only allowed us to taste the authentic Shanxi delicacies, but also felt the full sincerity of the store. I strongly recommend it to friends who come to Pingyao Ancient City to play. Don't miss this treasure restaurant! 😘

Things to keep in mind when visiting Pingyao right now 👇 🏠 Accommodation: Book in advance! Even though it's not May Day, the better B&Bs in the Old Town are still in high demand, and it's almost impossible to find a room on the day. 🤤 Food: Avoid the fancy food on the snack street; it's expensive and average (especially the fruit and fried skewers stalls). Try: Bowl trays, oat noodle kuoluoluo, Pingyao beef, and oil tea—all local favorites. Highly recommended: 📍 Xilai Yao Restaurant I always take my relatives there for authentic Pingyao flavors at reasonable prices 👍 Must-try: 👉 Pingyao Beef Cold Dishes, Oat Noodle kuoluoluo, and Yellow Rice Jelly Their braised pork and old vinegar braised pork are also incredibly delicious and go great with rice! 🚗 Transportation: Don't drive into the Old Town! I'm so tired of walking around the parking lot near the city gate that I'm almost dreading it. Taking a tour bus or walking is the best option. In short, if you're visiting Pingyao in October, bring warm clothes, book accommodations early, and head to Xilaiyao for meals—you can't go wrong. Hope you all have a great time and enjoy your meals!❤️
