Zixiamun is a Korean restaurant brand, and the Korean branch is called Burnettol, with a total of 5 stores. However, Zixiamen has developed better in China, and has set up branches in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Qingdao and other cities for more than ten years. Shanghai Zixiamen only has one store in Hongqiao Town, and it opened in 2015 and is much younger than its Beijing and Shenzhen branches, but it does not prevent it from having a good reputation among diners. Attentive readers will also find that Zixiamen has performed well in the recommended lists of Korean cuisine in Beijing and Shenzhen in CNPP100.
Unlike influencer restaurants such as Jiang Hudong, Zixiamen wants to create a more Korean-style atmosphere for diners. Before diners enter the restaurant, the traditional Korean dress at the door reminds diners of the theme of the place they visit. Even the interior of the restaurant displays a lot of traditional Korean folk objects, which complement the more quaint décor.
Zixiamen is not equipped with smoke exhaust pipes, which is a bit unfriendly to new diners who like to barbecue their own meat. The restaurant chooses a valet barbecue, and the waiter will ask the diners about their needs first. If you ask the restaurant to help grill the meat, the waiter will grill the meat in the dedicated work area, so that diners can avoid the embarrassment of being covered in the smell of oily smoke. At the same time, Zixiamen is specially equipped with a tray with a small heating oven to keep warm the grilled meat, and the onions on the plate can also enhance the flavor of the barbecue. However, sometimes the store offers fewer combustion additives, and the fire will be extinguished quickly, which needs to be improved. The waiter's barbecue skills are more skilled, and he is much better than the average diner, so we recommend the valet barbecue service for diners.
Of course, diners can grill their own meat, but the stove in Zixiamen is a two-in-one style of charcoal fire and gas tank, and in many cases, it is not the familiar charcoal fire heating. When a diner wants the waiter to switch to a charcoal fire, the waiter usually explains that the gas tank is performing better, which is a bit surprising. Zixiamun offers a variety of grilling trays for different types of meat, which is relatively much more reliable than many Korean restaurants with single grills.
Zixiamen's signature dish is grilled raw beef king pork ribs. Officially, only the 7th and 8th ribs out of the 13 ribs of the steak are used, because these two ribs have the best meat. The difference between roast beef king ribs and them is that the former is marinated and slightly inferior in freshness to the latter. If you're not a cold noodle lover, try Zixiamen's bibimbap.
The environment of the Zixiamen private room is better, but the dining experience in the hall is average. The minimum charge for a private room is 500 yuan, and there is no service fee, if diners bring their own drinks, Zixiamen will charge a service fee of 30 yuan per bottle.
