One sentence summary: Serve averaged dishes except pretty delicious fried dumpling in an almost substandard environment; hence, shouldn't come here before going to toilet in another place.
[Appearance]
A restaurant with plain appearance inherited from its state-owned history but has a reward of "intangible cultural heritage" by its famous fried dumpling. Although it locates in People's East Road, locals could know your destination if you said "Xi-Gong-Xiao-Jie Guo-tie", or "Fried dumpling on West Labor Street."
Though there are 4 iron pans that each can offer at least 60 fried dumplings at a time, customers still have to wait to get food. During in line with tourists and local people, it's also a pleasure to see 4 cooks work in a semi-open kitchen.
[How to eat it?]
Dip fried dumpling into vinegar before eating it to balance the greasy taste.
[Fried dumpling taste and price]
The dumpling has a delicate golden fried surface, and you can hear "crack!" as chip-eating sound while biting into your mouth then feel the appropriate moisture of a fried dumpling if juicy one is not your favorite. Although there's only chive-and-pork flavor offered, the proportion only keep chive's taste at a moderate level, letting people like me who hate chive's strong flavor be able to enjoy it. Not to mention its affordable price which only cost you about $1 for 10 fried dumplings.
[Service& environment]
Like you should help yourself while eating in a night market, here you need to order and pick food in the different windows. Surprisingly, the cleaning condition of its table and toilet couldn't be as excellent as the quality of its fried dumpling. The greasy tables on the 1st floor could be tolerant, but toilets without door nor water supply is a different story. However, what dissatisfied me was not it's untidy bathroom but the waitress's answer after I told them the overlying poops "There's no problem with our toilet. You think it's not ok then go to the toilet in the neighboring department store and come back to eat."
For my perspective, it's not a smart answer nor a well-done solution for the development of the restaurant in the long term.
Hope they could do better. But no matter what, it would be a must-go place once I visit Luoyang again.response / report this review
