Founded in 2015, Niu Shixian is a catering company that still has certain advantages after the Chaoshan beef hot pot boom is over. Based in Hangzhou, the cattle are very fresh, and have radiated their influence to Shanghai, Ningbo and other places, and have been affirmed by many diners.

Just like the meaning of the brand name, its quality concept is "the cow is very fresh, not the next day". The official declaration is that "only the beef slaughtered on the same day is selected, and the beef is never made the next day, and the most authentic and delicious Chaoshan beef hot pot in China is made." In fact, this is a demonstration of the basic strength of a powerful Chaoshan beef hot pot restaurant. The cattle are very rare to choose the natural pastures in the Qinggui area, a generation of rural free-range cattle, but also deliberately emphasize that their feed is natural grass and deep mountain spring water. This set of statements is a little unpopular in the eyes of senior beef supply chain practitioners, and it is estimated that the cattle are very fresh in order to cater to the psychological needs of consumers. The restaurant only selects heifers aged 2~3 years old and 700 kg ~ 900 kg. Eligible cattle will be transported to a slaughterhouse in the suburbs of Hangzhou, and will be delivered to the store within 3 hours after slaughtering. However, there is only a batch of beef at 9 o'clock in the morning every day, which only conforms to its quality concept of "no other day".

In terms of knife work, Niu Shixian basically passed, there was nothing to criticize, and the plating score was medium to high. At the bottom of the pot there is the original flavor of beef bones, the nourishing soup of iron maple bullfighting bones, matsutake mushroom soup, tomato beef brisket, and spicy beef offal. Among them, the iron maple bullfighting big bone nourishing soup and matsutake mushroom soup are the key recommendations for the freshness of the cow. The official also claimed that "the addition of matsutake mushrooms from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and iron-barked maple buckets from Yunnan is extremely nutritious, and it is definitely a good health dish in autumn and winter".

In August 2017, Niu Shixian Guoda City Plaza store had an incident where diners found maggots and suffered from gastroenteritis in seafood mushrooms.

It is worth mentioning that the Zhaohui Road store is located in the Hejiayuan, and the private dishes and bald lobsters in the Hejiayuan belong to the same owner. However, diners who want to taste all three at once must settle the bill for two of them.
