Loulan Guli can be described as a hegemon of Xinjiang cuisine in Xi'an, with more than a dozen branches all over the business district, and there are almost large shopping malls in Loulan Guli, which is super well-known.
Loulan Guli adopts standardized management. The chefs of each branch are directly appointed by the head office, and the ingredients are also uniformly distributed, and the dishes are generally not very different. Only the yogurt is distributed by the headquarters on the next day in the cold chain, and the transit is inevitable, but the date is fresh and does not affect its deliciousness at all. In terms of tableware, each table is equipped with an independent cutlery bag (chopsticks, spoons, disinfectant wipes, dry wipes), which is intimate and easy to use, which is rare in public restaurants in Xi'an.
Loulan Guli's cooking is spicy, the reason is that Qin pepper is used instead of Xinjiang line pepper, so the spiciness of the large plate of chicken, lamb scorpion pot, and spicy lamb tripe is a step higher than that of other stores, and the fragrance is also enough, which is very suitable for people who like spicy food. Order some wine with spicy dishes to enjoy more, red Wusu is a special beer of Xinjiang, the entrance is refreshing, full of stamina, known as "the deadly big Wusu". If you don't like alcohol, you can try Xinjiang Milk Beer, which is a yogurt with a beer taste but no alcohol content, and it is worth trying.
However, in Xi'an, which has a good source of mutton, the main dish of Loulan Guli is not competitive enough. The mutton marked as "Bashbai Mutton" on the menu is actually not fragrant and tender, which is very different from the authentic Bashibai mutton in Xinjiang; And Bashbai mutton is mainly exported to foreign markets, and the domestic price is much higher than that in the store. Judging from the taste and pricing, the name is more of a gimmick, and diners don't have to be too curious. In addition, Xinjiang milk tea and Turkish cheese are originally refreshments full of flavor in the Western Regions, but the preparation in the store is too bland, and the quality of the products is far inferior to yogurt, so it is recommended to avoid them.
The decoration is mainly blue and yellow, and the paintings and hanging decorations on the wall are rough and slightly rustic. However, the storefronts are generally clean, with floor-to-ceiling windows to open up the view, which is more comfortable. On the whole, Loulan Guli's performance is mediocre and has some bright spots. The advantage is that the geographical location is convenient, the quality control is stable, and the price is affordable, which is suitable for solving daily meals.
