PIAN AI RESTAURANT

Fried chicken is one of the signature dishes of this restaurant. The chicken is free-range chicken raised locally, and the meat is firm and elastic. Each fried chicken is cooked to order, ensuring the freshness and taste of the food. The clever combination of chili, pepper and other spices not only enhances the layering of the dish, but also allows people to feel the unique local flavor of Tai'an while enjoying the delicious food. The other side dishes are a bit salty, but this is a common problem of Shandong cuisine. If you are in Tai'an and looking for an authentic fried chicken experience, this restaurant is definitely not to be missed.

I like fried chicken the most, it is tender and delicious.
