Three college friends who were born in '86 run it together, hence the name 86 Grill. 86 Barbecue is one of the representative restaurants of Yibin barbecue in the city, located in the old store near the Shiren community, which is not only well-known among the neighbors, but also the favorite of night owls.
When eating Yibin barbecue, the limelight of skewers is often overshadowed by Yibin famous foods such as pulp tofu and raw beef. Pulp tofu is a processed product of regular tofu that is made by placing ordinary tofu in baking soda water and soaking it for several hours to drain. The finished product is tough on the outside and cotton on the inside, and there is a delicate slurry feeling at the entrance. The 86 barbecue tofu is also flavored with a variety of seasonings such as raw onions, minced meat, capers, and millet spicy, and various flavors are intertwined when eating, which is well received by diners. Raw beef is a local specialty of Yibin, the red and tender raw beef is served with mustard and black vinegar, which is tender and sweet, greasy and pleasant.
"Raw grilling" is the key word of Yibin barbecue, which means that the meat ingredients are not marinated in advance, but rely on the brushing and code flavor of the skewers when grilling the skewers to enhance the flavor, and the grilled skewers have a stronger meat flavor. The taste of pork belly and pork nose tendon produced in this way is even more outstanding, the pork belly is fat and thin, greasy and restrained, and the pork nose tendon is crispy and chewy, which is better than refreshing. In terms of vegetarian dishes, 86's production is generally average and can be avoided.
Today, the refurbished 86 Grill has a much more youthful look. The interior is simple and bright, the seating is spacious and orderly, and the walls are painted with funny sentences and illustrations, so there is no sense of crampedness like smoke and fire. The insulated utensils of the dining table also keep the skewers warm when they are served, reflecting the meticulous service. However, at present, the service quality of 86 has a significant downward trend, no one entertains during the peak of dining, and problems such as too slow serving speed have emerged, and the management level needs to be improved. 86 Barbecue has a branch in Yulin and Xinhua Park, and the service and taste are still the best in the old restaurant, so diners are advised to avoid the branch.
