JINSANBEI RESTAURANT

This restaurant has been famous for more than 20 years. It used to be a high-end hotel in Jinan in the 1980s and 1990s. It is still very famous among the hotels with Shandong cuisine as the theme, and the taste is still good now.

Jinsanbei Restaurant, this restaurant has a lot of customers every day, most of them are here to travel and gather here for dinner. The food is served very quickly, but the taste is very average... This kind of food is usually eaten by travel agencies who have no choice but to come here

Stir-fried kidney | This kidney is absolutely amazing! It's so delicious!!! The kidney is very clean, spicy and fragrant, tender and crispy, and the aroma from the high heat is really amazing. We ate it up in minutes!

"Jin Sanbei Restaurant" is one of the three major catering companies in Shandong Province. It is good value for money and a good choice for Shandong cuisine. Recommended dishes: stir-fried kidney, nine-turn large intestine, shrimp dumplings, sweet and sour carp. We went on Monday and happened to catch the promotion. All lunch dishes on Monday are half price. The dining environment is very good, and several classic dishes are delicious and excellent. When the sweet and sour carp was just cooked, the waiter brought it out for us to appreciate. The shape of this "sweet and sour carp" looked like "carp jumping over the dragon gate", which was very festive. Then the waiter took it down to remove the bones of the carp, so the shape of "carp jumping over the dragon gate" was gone, and it could only lie on the plate and wait for us to taste it. In our Shanghai area, we basically don't eat carp because we think carp has a fishy smell, but Jin Sanbei's sweet and sour carp is great, and we ate it all. The stir-fried kidney is good and delicious. It's the first time I've tasted Shandong stir-fried kidney. I think it's on par with ours. The food was very different, and the alternative way of eating. The Jiuzhuan Large Intestine is unique, and it is sweet, which suits my taste (Shanghainese people also like to eat sweet food). I basically bought it all by myself. The Emerald Cod Ball seems to be the signature dish of Jinsanbei Restaurant. It makes you drool just by looking at it. It is the favorite of the two little beauties. Huiquan Roast Duck Finally, the big dish "Huiquan Roast Duck" was served, and a whole one was served (I wanted to order half a duck, but the waiter said that it might not be enough for the five of us. I was fooled and it was too much. I couldn't eat it, so I packed it up and went back to the hotel to continue the battle). The chef pushed a small dining cart out, and a hot, golden and crispy big roast duck lay in the dining cart for us to look at; then the chef sliced ​​the duck meat into thin slices and served it on a plate, accompanied by chopped green onions, sweet noodle sauce and lotus leaf pancakes. I wanted to make a soup with the duck skeleton, but when the Peking duck came up, I saw that I would definitely not be able to finish it. I immediately asked the waiter to get a salt and pepper duck skeleton, but it would cost an additional 10 yuan for processing.

1. Jinsanbei Restaurant, located on the 11th floor of Sanlian Building, No. 12, Baotuquan North Road, Lixia District, Jinan City, is a restaurant that mainly serves Shandong cuisine. According to the "Restaurant and Hotel Classification Regulations" issued by relevant national departments, Jinsanbei is a national special 5-diamond restaurant. In 2016, Jinsanbei was named one of the top ten Shandong cuisine brands in China, and Jinsanbei's sweet and sour (Yellow River) carp was awarded the Golden Tripod Award. 2. At the dinner at Jinsanbei Restaurant that day, we tasted sweet and sour carp, 68 yuan/pot, and stir-fried kidney, 48 yuan/pot. The method of making sweet and sour carp is to fry it in an oil pan first, then use old vinegar and sugar to make sweet and sour sauce, which is poured on the fish. It is fragrant, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, slightly sour but delicious, and has a very good taste. The method of making this fish looks similar to Suzhou squirrel mandarin fish, but it is not as sticky as squirrel mandarin fish. Interestingly, the restaurant will serve the sweet and sour carp after it is cooked, so that diners can see the "majestic posture" of a whole vinegar carp with its head held high and its tail raised. After watching, it will be taken down and cut before being served. 3. Another specialty of Jinsanbei: stir-fried kidney. Stir-fried kidney may seem like a home-cooked dish, but most families cannot make it well, and even restaurants and restaurants cannot make it well. In Shanghai, I have never heard of any restaurant that is famous for this dish. If you want to eat the authentic stir-fried kidney, you still have to go to Jinan. The authentic stir-fried kidney in Jinan is mainly made of pork kidney, which is stir-fried after being cut. The good stir-fried kidney tastes fresh and tender, with a mellow taste and smooth and non-greasy. Also in Jinan, in recent years, some restaurants that cut corners have begun to reduce the amount of kidney and replace it with bamboo shoots. When a dish is served, it looks similar at first glance, but you will find that it is gone after eating a few pieces. 4. The main course after the meal is Huyou noodles, 4 yuan/bowl/person, the total price is 172 yuan, and the average consumption of two people is 86 yuan. It is not expensive, after all, this is a 5-diamond restaurant, and the dishes are the restaurant's signature dishes.

The restaurant is very traditionally decorated, and the old restaurant feels great! The dishes are authentic Shandong cuisine. Since we were dining with two people, the store provided small portions, which was great! I ordered fried kidney, cold mixed Panax notoginseng, emerald codfish balls, sea cucumber stewed with millet, and nine-turn large intestine! Except for the slightly sour taste of fried kidney, the other dishes were very delicious. Especially the emerald codfish balls, which are really green like jade, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, crispy and tender when bitten, worth recommending!

Location: 11th floor of Sanlian Building, but it should be noted that you can enter the building from the north side of the building, which is the other side of Gome. You can enter through the door with the big Jinsanbei logo on the outer wall of the building. Take the elevator to the 11th floor directly. Ordering: There are not many staff members, and they seem to be very busy. You need to call several times before you can order smoothly. Dishes: Traditional Shandong cuisine is still delicious, and the later innovations are not recommended! Stir-fried kidney, 58 yuan, with a strong vinegar flavor, just relieves the smell of kidney, and the kidney itself is also handled very cleanly, cut into a moderate size and thickness. I like this dish very much, recommend it! Recommended! Hot fried five-spice meat, 58 yuan, because it is a special recommended dish, I also ordered it. It is crispy and delicious, especially the five-spice flavor of the batter seasoning. The disadvantage is that you will feel greasy after eating two pieces, and it is a bit salty for me who has a light taste. Emerald codfish balls, 98 yuan/small portion/11 pieces. Because it was recommended on the big sign outside and it said it had won various awards, I ordered this innovative dish that is not a traditional Shandong cuisine. After tasting it, I felt that it was a "scam". It should be considered a very good dish, but the seasoning was Thousand Island sauce. In addition, the green puffed particles wrapped around the codfish balls were also very low-quality, full of pigments, and most importantly, they tasted ordinary. It would be better not to wrap the pieces and directly use tomato seasoning, at least it makes me feel that it is nutritious without additives.

A group of 6 classmates went to Jinan for a trip and stayed at Huiquan Boutique Hotel (Baotu Spring Branch), on the 16th floor of Sanlian Building. Jinsanbei Restaurant was on the 11th floor downstairs. We had three meals there. We booked a small private room for the first two times and were very satisfied with the environment, service and taste of the dishes. We didn't book a private room for the third time and had to eat in the hall. The female staff who took the order was very unfriendly and it felt terrible. (The photo was taken when we had dinner in the small private room for the first time)
