Although Shaanxi, Gansu, Ning, Qingdao and Mongolian cuisines all belong to the Northwest cuisine, the Northwest restaurants in Shanghai are still mostly Shaanxi and Gansu cuisines and Mongolian cuisine. The emergence of Ningxia Impression Restaurant not only makes up for the vacancy of Ningxia catering in Shanghai, but also quickly catches up with other restaurants, and the guests are full every day, which is enough to prove the recognition of consumers for the restaurant.
"A Bite of China" made Yanchitan sheep famous, and Tan sheep is also considered to be the best sheep breed in China. Tan Sheep is the treasure of Ningxia Impression Restaurant, and all the mutton dishes in the store come from authentic Yanchi Tan Sheep. The restaurant claims to be the only Yanchitan sheep experience store in Shanghai that has been certified by the Yanchi County People's Government, which shows its confidence in its mutton.
During the transportation from Ningxia to Shanghai, frozen storage is inevitable, but it still does not affect the deliciousness of Tan sheep. When you come to Ningxia Impression Restaurant, you can't miss the hand-grabbed lamb chops. The bone-in lamb chops are evenly fattened and lean, without excessive fishy smell, and the thin layer of mutton fat between the lean fibers makes the original flavor of the mutton stronger. If you feel that the lamb chops are too fatty, you can consider the lamb neck in white water, the lamb neck cooked in water is still delicious and delicious, but the meat is leaner and has pale yellow tendons.
It is a pity that the most classic dish of stewed mutton did not appear in Ningxia Impression Restaurant, and was replaced by a similar five-element mutton soup. The clear surface of the mutton soup is filled with coriander and wolfberry, and a small amount of daylily and fungus are added to enhance the flavor, although these two materials are not as good as radish to retain the original aroma of mutton to the greatest extent, but the taste is also not bad. Wuxing Sheep Soup is charged per person, the price is 26 yuan per person, suitable for 2-3 people to order during dinner. If more than 3 people dine, it is recommended to use a mutton soup pot of 126 yuan, and the soup base remains unchanged and the amount of mutton is more sufficient. The soup pot can also be refilled or heated many times, even if it is eaten in the later stage, the fresh flavor of the mutton will not be reduced in the slightest, which is suitable for many people to share.
In addition to the boiled dishes, the sauce-flavored lamb's trotters at Ningxia Impression Restaurant are also remarkable. The sheepskin part is fully flavored and elastic, and the rich tendons inside are chewy. Barbecue lovers can try the flavored grilled lamb chops and lamb kebabs. The lamb chops have a crispy crust and much more fat inside than finger lamb chops, making them even more oily. Mutton skewers are also fat and thin, in addition to iron skewer mutton skewers, there are also red willow skewers with southern Xinjiang characteristics, the volume of each piece of meat on the skewers is much larger than ordinary mutton skewers, and there is a sense of eating more, however, the production of barbecue food is not as stable as that of boiled food, and occasionally there will be overburned, too salty, and the dishes are cooled.
The three special snacks of steamed buns, homecoming stewed snacks and hot noodles are also representative dishes of the restaurant. Steamed buns and steamed dumplings are common traditional noodles in the north, the steamed bun dough is thin and soft, the steamed buns are golden and crisp, and the steamed buns, shredded potatoes and chili sauce are wrapped together into a roll and eaten, the entrance is crispy and spicy, and it is very enjoyable. Stewed snacks are an authentic Ningxia meal, and the uniqueness lies in a type of pasta called plywood. The splint is made by cutting the meat filling into a diamond shape with the dough and deep-frying, and although the freshly served splint is soaked in the mutton soup, the dough is still crispy, and the taste is best when eaten immediately. The oily taste of the hot noodles is similar to that of ordinary oil cakes, and the taste is also crispy and delicious with slightly spicy chili rings and dipped in a little honey. After eating the staple snacks, you can finish with a cup of special eight-treasure tea or homemade yogurt, which are basically a must-order on the table and are highly praised.
Ningxia Impression Restaurant is located in Kaiyue Building, Jiangning Road, the surrounding subway is inconvenient, it will be more convenient to drive or take a taxi to get there, and the store can provide a two-hour parking ticket. The exterior of Ningxia Impression Restaurant is supported by gold decorations, which looks quite conspicuous, the green chairs and decorative paintings in the lobby are full of ethnic feeling, and the left side of the dining area is a specialty shop, selling a variety of Ningxia special meals. The service level of the restaurant is relatively average, and the service staff has a bad attitude, should not call, and the service is not timely. Reservations are not available for the lobby seats, so you can only queue up at the restaurant to eat, and private rooms can be booked for business banquets, but if the number of people is less than 10, a private room fee will be charged.
Pudong's Ningxia Mutton Restaurant was originally also a Ningxia restaurant that focused on Tan Sheep, but the restaurant ceased business in 2016.
