The back gate of Zhejiang University of Technology used to be a famous supper food gathering place in Hangzhou, and after the renovation of the plot in 2016, the old barbecue hidden here was forced to relocate. In 2017, this barbecue restaurant famous for grilled scallops reopened on Xiangjisi Road, and relocated again during the year.
In terms of unit price, the price of the old barbecue is not much higher than that of its peers, but most of the barbecue here is 5 skewers and 10 skewers. The signature grilled scallops are also half a dozen, and the current price is generally stable at about 70 yuan for half a dozen, and about 60 yuan for oysters, which is not friendly to solo diners. The owner of the old barbecue is notoriously bad at all, and he has never had a good face for the guests who place a small number of orders, which has invisibly increased the average consumption here.
The grilled scallops at Lao Lao Grill are quite different from other barbecue restaurants. Most of the roasted scallops on the market are roasted with chili pepper coriander and garlic paste, this practice is the most representative of the most representative of the Lang Lang Covenant, and there are many "scallop kings" on the night food stalls in Hangzhou, but the flavor is basically a routine, which is nothing more than making a fuss about the quality of ingredients and the weight of seasoning. The scallops of the old barbecue have taken a different path, abandoning the garlic coriander millet spicy, and replacing it with a homemade chili sauce made of salty and chopped pepper sugar, which tastes slightly sweet and slightly spicy, with a bit of Suzhou-style flavor. In terms of ingredients, the old man is also unambiguous, the proprietress goes to the seafood market every morning to select one by one, each one is on the top of three or two, and the order is immediately killed, covered with hot sauce vermicelli grilled, the color is bright red, and the meat is fat and juicy. Scallops are sold out daily while supplies last, so it is recommended to book in advance, and the scallops will be suspended when the quality of the scallops is poor, which also proves the high quality of the scallops in the restaurant.
Honey chicken wings are another specialty of old barbecue, the wings are brushed with honey charcoal grilling, only oil and salt cumin are applied, the chicken is fat and tender, light and fragrant, and the taste is sweet. The grilled pork belly is not flaky, but a whole piece of pork skewered, giving it a solid texture. Lamb skewers are freshly grilled, but the taste is not outstanding, dry wood is tasteless, and other meat skewers such as beef skewers are mostly warm in taste, and the meat fragrance is insufficient. Small yellow croaker, palm treasure, grilled shrimp and grilled oysters, etc., the products are decent and can be tried, but the characteristics are not outstanding.
The restaurant theoretically lasts until 1~3 o'clock in the morning, in fact, the ingredients are sold out and closed to thank customers, so it is recommended that diners come to the restaurant as soon as possible.
The new store of the old barbecue is not large, the square is transparent, the decoration is simple, and the interior has an obvious smell of oil smoke. The boss is from the Northeast, and it is not an exaggeration to say that his service attitude is notorious. The waiter is only responsible for running the hall, the order is completed by the boss himself, the timing of the order is decided by the boss, the wrong order, the missing order is not uncommon, and only allowed to place an order once, do not accept additional dishes. When the restaurant is full, Lao Lao Barbecue does not arrange queues or numbers, and diners need to keep an eye on their own seats. There is no sense of service in the restaurant, which has a significant impact on the dining experience, and diners who want to try it out need to be mentally prepared.
