Founded in 2007 with only 6 small tables, the restaurant entered Seoul in 2008 and has been popular all over Korea for four years, appearing in the Korean drama "Descendants of the Sun". In 2013, Xilai Thin Meat opened its first directly-operated store in Shanghai, and now there are about 60 branches distributed throughout China, and the business is very hot.

The official explanation for the meaning of Shilai Thin Meat is "to come and eat precious meat with pleasure". A pig generally only has about 250g of heart-protecting meat, so this part is rare and precious. The concept of Xilai Rare Meat's main heart meat has also been affirmed by the market, and the official now likes to call itself "the leading brand of heart meat in the Republic of Korea".

Each table of Xilai Thin Meat is equipped with a smoke exhaust pipe, and the smoke exhaust effect is good. The restaurant uses smokeless and fireless "chrysanthemum charcoal" for barbecue, which has a good flavor. In terms of oven design, Xilai Thin Meat is similar to Jiang Hudong, with a variety of baking trays to choose from, and there are insulated compartments next to them, two of which are filled with egg wash. However, at meal time, waiters generally do not help diners barbecue, which may be due to insufficient manpower to cope with the huge flow of customers, but it is still more diligent to replace the baking tray.

Diners who visit Xilai Rare Meat naturally want to try the signature dish - Heart Meat, which is soft and elastic, not difficult to chew, and has a full and rich taste. Because the heart meat is marinated in advance, the sweetness will slowly precipitate after chewing, even if it is not dipped in any sauce, it is quite flavorful, worthy of the signature title. The restaurant also has miso heart meat, spicy heart meat, soy sauce heart meat, garlic heart meat to choose from, with a variety of flavors and quite good performance.

In addition to heart meat, diners can also choose the popular dish of pork intestine. The large intestine cleaned in advance has no peculiar smell, and after being roasted, it is dipped in a special sauce and eaten, which is very chewy, fragrant and slightly sweet. The flavor of fermented bean curd in the sauce can play a good role in enhancing the flavor, and also slightly suppresses the greasy taste of the large intestine. The fly in the ointment is that the large intestine is constantly splashing oil when roasting, and the large intestine is easy to be roasted too old, and it is a little difficult to chew, but this is also a common problem that is difficult to solve, so it is recommended to eat it after roasting in batches in order to control the time. If the waiter is willing to help with the grilling, the experience will be much better.

The environment of Xilai Thin Meat is average, and the waiter's attitude is good, but the meal time is often too busy, and there are often problems such as slow serving speed and large fluctuations in the level of dishes.
