Xin Jiang BBQ is one of the worse northern Chinese restaurants I've ever been to. I usually do not care if the atmosphere of the restaurant is good or not if the food is awesome but since this place has neither, it really takes away from the whole experience.
- Decor seen in common Chinese restaurants
- Gives a feeling that things are unclean
One of the most important items in a Northern Chinese restaurants are its BBQ meat skewers. I usually love these but none of the people that ate could finish them. We only ordered 2 per person and most of us could not even finish the first one.
- Spices are too strong
- Tastes really bad
This is apparently a very common dish, "Pork bones in sauce". I did find this to taste pretty good compared to the BBQ meat skewers.
+ Good in contrast to the meat skewers
- Pretty standard and forgettable
I usually order noodles in meat sauce(炸醬肉麵) in most Chinese restaurants I go to. It has been one of my favorite dishes from my childhood. This one was actually not that bad, better than some other places.
- Too salty
+ Pretty big portion
Couple's lung slices(伕妻費片)
This tasted really weird at the beginning but since everything else was pretty bad, I kept at it and it slowly grew on me. I ended up finishing almost the whole thing, no one else wanted to touch it.
+- Tastes kind of sour (kind of weird but not bad)
We ended up paying for around $60 after tips for 3 people. It was not worth it for such bland items and especially since the food was so bad I felt that we were cheated. On the other hand, the service was pretty good, things came quite quickly and the staff was friendly.
- Food is bad
- Prices are quite high for such a standard menu
+ Service is alright
