Nanjing Weigang Dragon Palace-Business Reviews

The spicy crayfish in Guijie is well-known in Beijing, and the Hu Hotel is even more prosperous, with long queues of diners. But the popularity is a little flat, in the corner of Gui Street in the corner of Nanjing Weigang lobster, we think it is slightly better than Hu Da. The owner of Nanjing Weigang Dragon Palace began to open a crayfish restaurant in 1997, although Weigang Dragon Palace is a newcomer in the Beijing market, but it has long been famous in Nanjing, the base camp of crayfish. The best feature of this restaurant is that the crayfish are large and fresh. Compared with Jingui Xiaoshan City, which is not on the list, the average price of shrimp in both is about 10 yuan, but the crayfish in Xiaoshan City is small, the pincers fall obviously, and the sense of quality is far inferior to Nanjing Weigang Dragon Palace. The crayfish in the store come from Hongze Lake in Jiangsu Province, and they are basically white cheeks. Excellent supply chain management ensures the high quality of crayfish products. Taste is the core competitiveness of Nanjing Weigang Dragon Palace, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the best in Gui Street. The head chef of the Guijie store is full of confidence in his thirteen-spiced crayfish. The various aromas of thirteen spices are well integrated into the shrimp meat, and the moment you eat the shrimp yellow, you can also feel a stronger umami stimulation, which is endlessly memorable. Spicy crayfish is the restaurant's signature dish, and all the chili and peppers are flown in from Sichuan. This dish is prepared by specially hired chefs from Sichuan and Hunan to ensure that diners can taste enough spicy flavor. The spicy aroma of spicy crayfish embellishes the whole tasting process, it is spicy enough, the entrance is Q bomb, and there will be no discomfort in the stomach after eating, and the chef's skill is good. At the same time, the restaurant's Sichuan-flavored and Hunan-flavored side dishes are also very delicious, and the gold medal spicy crab and gluttonous frog are stable and worth a try. For diners who don't like spicy food, you can consider garlic crayfish, which is very flavorful, sweet and delicious, and the crayfish at the bottom is soaked in oil soup, and it can still maintain the heat and add flavor to the "second half". The Guijie store has a craft beer system that is rare in the whole Guijie, and the home-brewed beer has a mellow taste and a hint of sweetness. The interior of the store is relatively clean, which is very different from other crayfish restaurants in Guijie that pursue a classical atmosphere or are full of food stall temperament. The dishes in the store are exquisitely presented and pleasing to the eye. The service attitude is also good, not too enthusiastic, but the questions asked can be well solved, which shows the standardization of training management. It should be noted that the façade decoration of Nanjing Weigang Longgong Gui Street Store is really inconspicuous, and diners who come here always have to look carefully. If you're just a passing tourist, you might not be able to guess the category of this shop simply from the faded sign at the door. In short, if you want to eat crayfish without queuing up on Gui Street, this shop should not be missed.
