Gu Lixian is a local brand in Shanghai and has been in business for more than 10 years. The decoration of the store is tasteful, and after the opening of several new stores, the taste has decreased, and several branches are relatively large, and there is usually no queue for meals.
Gu Lixian's mutton is grilled in Xinjiang naankeng, which has both the charred aroma of charcoal grilling and the tender and juicy baking, the taste is not heavy, and the meat of mutton skewers, ribs and French chops is more intense. It's a pity that the lamb chops have more fat, and the naan pit roasting method is not dry enough, and the taste is fatty, and some diners report that they can't accept it.
Among the staple foods, Shihezi Liangpi is the most popular, cut into finger-wide cold skins soaked in soup, stacked with a few pieces of thick gluten, piled with cucumber shreds, carrot shreds, and purple cabbage shreds, which looks very appetizing; The cool skin is thin and transparent, but it does not lose its tendons, and it slips into the mouth, satisfying and satisfying. Steam pot pilaf is not recommended, there is more rice to prevent it from drying out, put two pieces of fat in the rice, it tastes oily, especially not suitable for summer consumption.
Gu Lixian's back kitchen is not very good, and most of the hot dishes are at the middle and lower level. The salt-and-pepper potatoes and salt-and-pepper mushrooms on the menu look tempting, but they are a little less flavorful; The large plate of chicken that people like to order at dinner is still far behind that of Yerisali. However, salty milk tea is quite popular, the taste is rich, even if it is mixed, the aroma and taste are still online, and it is still good to order a pot to try. Ice grass is also very good when eaten raw, this vegetable with large vesicle cells on the surface, the appearance is like ice crystals, the taste is unusually crisp, it definitely lives up to its name, the rich juice has a natural slightly salty taste, and it is delicious with a little dipping in salad.
Although the performance of Gu Lixian's dishes is mediocre, the location and environment are outstanding. For example, the dreamy little lanterns of the Jinqiao International Plaza store, the bold red color of the Baodi Plaza store, and the comfortable and elegant booths of the Daning store are very well received by customers, and the store is very clean and tidy. If you're not too demanding on taste and want to find a comfortable place to rest, you can consider visiting Gul Sen.
