Great Spot for Northwest Cuisine in Beijing: Zuanjin Xinjiang Cuisine

A newly opened halal Northwest cuisine restaurant near my home has proven to be quite impressive! The environment is pleasant, and the service is decent. I've tried their stir-fried dishes, noodles, and skewers multiple times, and overall, they are quite good! Their signature dish, Big Plate Chicken, is well-prepared with flavorful chicken and potatoes. The hand-pulled noodles underneath are authentic and delicious. The Mongolian-style lamb ribs, fried and then stir-fried, are crispy, aromatic, and well-seasoned. The stir-fried minced meat with sour beans is a detailed dish worth sharing. The combination of dried tofu, crispy chicken egg tofu, and pickled fish skin with vinegar and soy sauce is unique and refreshing. The Northwest-style liangpi (cold skin noodles) has a slightly thick texture, with rich toppings, though the sauce could be more flavorful. The Zuanjin secret recipe grilled fish is innovative, with decent taste, though the minced beef is a bit dry, affecting the texture. The Xinjiang-style pot meat with yellow carrots and lamb ribs has a flavorful broth and tender meat without any gaminess. The dry pot potato slices are tasty but unevenly fried, with some parts crispy and others slightly raw. The braised radish with meat in soy sauce is well-cooked, soft, and flavorful. The stir-fried naan with cabbage is crispy and the cabbage is tender and well-seasoned—highly recommended! The soup-based baby cabbage is average, just passable. The potato and beef rice is excellent, with well-seasoned potatoes and tender beef. The Lanzhou beef noodles have a light and non-greasy broth, with chewy noodles that can be refilled for free. Among the skewers, the grilled eggplant is flavorful and aromatic, while the grilled buns are average and not recommended. The freshly grilled lamb ribs and lamb skewers are very fresh, perfectly cooked, and of high quality—must-try items! The Lanzhou sweet fermented rice is quite authentic, similar to what I had in Lanzhou.
