金111After watching the sunset at Qicai Danxia, I walked to Qicai Town to find food. I found this restaurant, which was nice and clean. After entering the restaurant, the boss said that I had to wait for the food. After waiting for nearly 40 minutes, the food was finally served. The peanuts were freshly fried, and the steamed buns with fried meat were delicious.

The restaurant is very clean, the service is warm and friendly, and 168 yuan for five dishes and one soup is really a great value for money. The taste is good and the portion is large. Five people ate until they had to lean on the wall when they left. It is very cost-effective in a place like a scenic spot and is worth recommending.
