Grace Hui - Business Reviews

Founded in 2017, Grace Hui is a Minpai seafood hot pot restaurant founded by Sichuan investors, which was once considered one of the most luxurious buffet restaurants in Chengdu. At the same time, Grace Club is also one of the largest buffet restaurants in Chengdu, with a capacity of up to 1,200 people and a kitchen area of more than 1,400 square meters.

In fact, Grace Club does not have much innovation in terms of categories, but with some eye-catching specialties, it can catch up. Exceptionally long shrimp crickets (shrimp pee/pipi shrimp) are typical examples, and the transportation of live shrimp crickets over long distances is expensive, and freezing at low temperatures can cause the shrimp to dry up. Due to geographical constraints, Chengdu is not suitable for tasting shrimp, so Grace Hui chose the barbecue plan, so as to maximize the loss of taste, and similar solutions are also applied to other shrimp, so the grilled shrimp area has a long queue. In fact, the shabu-shabu area also offers Argentine red shrimp, Ecuadorian white shrimp, tiger shrimp, peony shrimp, New Zealand crayfish and other shrimp products, but the barbecue flavor is better. In the same type of seafood restaurant, grilled shrimp is often selected as a member dish, in disguise, Grace Club is cost-effective.

Oysters are also a popular choice, with the restaurant's Bella oysters being unusually plump and plump, many diners fall in love with them. Merchants claim that Bella oysters are imported from France, but the Taiwan Strait is an important source of Bella oysters. Other shellfish are not abundant, and the size of scallops is not uniform, and sometimes fluctuates greatly. Abalone is one of the freshest dishes, and it is also a very friendly aquatic product to the existing logistics technology, and it can maintain good vitality after 3-4 days of transportation. "Dalian abalone" may not have Dalian blood, in order to pursue the growth rate, now there are many "Dalian abalone" to Fujian "winter". The cooked abalone fried comes from abroad, so you might as well compare and taste the flavor and exclude the difference in cooking techniques, and many customers think that the taste has little to do with the size.

The crabs are also abundant, including blue crabs, brown crabs, tiger crabs, Dungeness crabs and many other categories, but the quality fluctuates, and sometimes the meat has a pronounced crumbic taste. In addition, there will also be detailed adjustments to its dish categories, which is a common problem of seafood buffet hot pot, and it is difficult for catering companies to take into account the quantity of categories and the quality of ingredients. In 2018, Grace Club also adjusted its strategy for this purpose, and Argentine red shrimp and king crab will become the main dishes of the year. King crab is taken from whole crabs that come out of the water in October and December, and the purchase volume is almost ten times that of brown crab. Consumers who intend to dine may wish to adjust their psychological expectations, as the amount of spare parts and business strategy will directly affect the speed of replenishment.

Grace Club also offers "must-have" dishes such as foie gras and steak, which have received mixed reviews in the market, but foie gras is not overly fatty. Cantonese cuisine, hot dishes, and drinks were mediocre, while Häagen-Dazs was used for ice cream. In addition, the restaurant's roasted durian is also worth tasting.

Grace means "graceful and luxurious", but the restaurant environment is widely criticized by diners, and its redundant metal furnishings are often considered to be a bit outdated. This has a lot to do with the "pragmatic" character of the owner, who was formerly a self-service restaurant giant named Money Leopard. After the settlement of Grace Hui, the original decoration was almost unchanged, and the early business of the Golden Leopard was actually a KTV club, and its aesthetic style inevitably had inertia. Positioning the high-end route, but not paying attention to the environment, the business strategy of Grace Club is slightly embarrassing, so it is not surprising that the restaurant adjusted its strategy in 2018, and its Lan Kwai Fong branch has closed down, and under the full market competition mechanism, Rongcheng seafood will also show its ingenuity.
