Shop name implies "Small matters become a business, good things come in pairs." There are parking spaces at the entrance, parking is convenient, but the entrance fee is 30 yuan per person, which can be fully deducted from the meal fee. The environment is great, very beautiful, with a fairy atmosphere~ There is water, fish, fountains, and a wishing pond in the pond. The specialty of Xiaoshiyizhuang is the big pancake. The original flavor is delicious, especially when rolled together with side dishes. The beef tongue pancake is also highly recommended. It looks like a beef tongue but is actually made from cornmeal and millet flour, delicious and tasty. How can you not try the tofu skin when you come to Benxi? The tofu skin in the restaurant is also very special, and it comes with two dipping sauces.

In life, eating and drinking are essential. When in the authentic Northeast, you must try the authentic Northeastern cuisine. This restaurant is very distinctive, with friendly and attentive service and decent environment. The owners are all authentic Northeasterners. Sour cabbage and blood sausage, braised pork rib with soy sauce, and the specialty chicken stewed with mushrooms are all very unique. I recommend the sour cabbage and blood sausage pot, razor clam with tofu, braised spine bone with soy sauce. They have generous portions and great flavor. The braised beef with soy sauce is also chewy and flavorful. The specialty steamed rice rolls are firm and fragrant. However, I recommend the donkey meat filling, while the mixed seafood filling is average. The fresh Aohua fish is excellent.

The business at the shop is very booming, and both the boss and the waiters are very friendly and always smiling. The cucumber in the shop is especially delicious, sour and appetizing, and goes well with the meat hotpot. The signature fire pot is full of ingredients, and the taste is extremely good. Inside the fire pot, there are pork belly, beef, beef offal, potatoes, carrot slices, persimmon pepper, yellow bean sprouts, and other dishes.

There is a large independent courtyard for parking many cars, suitable for friends who prefer to travel by car. It is relatively quiet for sleeping at night. There is a market nearby with many barbecue restaurants. There is a large square for fitness downstairs, next to a lotus pond, and the air is particularly fresh in the morning.

The restaurant has convenient transportation, with hotels around it. After eating, you can go to the hotel to rest. The environment has a local flavor, and the decoration is not particularly upscale, but the service attitude is okay. The dishes are served quickly, and the cost-effectiveness is relatively high. The signature dish of the restaurant is lamb soup, which costs 20 yuan per serving. It is very filling and you can add soup multiple times. The fried lamb chops are very delicious and one of the best lamb chops I have ever had. There is no lamb smell, and they taste great with a little bit of salt and pepper. I recommend trying it! The hot pot in their restaurant is made of lamb. The scallion oil dried tofu and dry stir-fried lamb lungs are also very tasty and worth a try.
