Come to the 46th floor for dinner. The food is delicious and the service is more enthusiastic. Manager Nicole is very professional and the dishes she recommends are all great. The service is impeccable. I will come here often to recommend and check in.
Grand Hyatt Hotel is super nice, with an unbeatable sea view. After swimming in the hotel, I came to the Xinghaiwan No. 1 Restaurant on the 46th floor for dinner at night. The beautiful manager Nicole who took my order was very enthusiastic. She arranged a baby chair for me, recommended delicious dishes to me, and gave me a big fruit plate!

Experts eat in the know
Amateurs eat in the excitement
Follow our expert foodie
We visited a great beef restaurant
Nowadays, there are many internet celebrity restaurants
What is popular is the decoration style on Instagram
What is popular is the performance of serving dishes
The better ones
will put some effort into the shape of the dishes
But they ignore the soul of food
The essence of food should return to the ingredients
Let's talk about the dishes first
Fresh rib-eye steak
It is said that this is fresh meat airlifted at 0 degrees
The fresh meat is placed on the dining cart and pushed to the customer's table
The chef will ask you which part you like and how you want it cut
Cut and weigh it and put it on the plate directly on your table
Ours is 19 9 grams
I don't know much about steak grading
But this M9+ meat
does look good
The fat is evenly distributed
It's about 50% rare
It's still tender
But a steak like this costs more than 600
It's a bit expensive
Five kinds of wagyu beef
This is a good value for money
You can eat several kinds at the same time
It's also suitable for people with obsessive compulsive disorder
And people like me who love meat but don't know much about meat
One kind is marinated
It tastes a bit sweet
It doesn't taste as good as the other 4 kinds
Salmon avocado salad
Their salad is good value for money
The vinaigrette
The avocado is delicious
It was cooked perfectly.
It was soft in the mouth.
The amount of salmon was OK.
The side dishes were average.
Lettuce and cherry tomatoes.
Tuna sashimi.
I ordered 30 yuan a piece.
Theirs were 20 grams a piece.
It was thicker than expected.
It tasted good.
It was satisfying.
I felt that the cost performance of sashimi was higher than steak.
There were also 2 sushi.
The sea urchin was fatter.
It was OK.
Let's talk about the service.
The staff helped grill the meat throughout the whole process.
They would introduce you to each type of meat you ate.
Compared with other restaurants,
I think the staff's professional knowledge was still solid.
The service was also very nice.
It made people I feel very comfortable.
I have to complain about the bathroom.
In fact, the decoration style is good.
But I always feel that the details of the bathroom are not worthy of the per capita price of this restaurant.
The toilet paper is relatively cheap.
The bathroom is not cleaned in time.
The sink is not clean.
The used hand towels are thrown on the countertop full of water.
Although not every guest will go to the bathroom after dining,
the details of the bathroom will fully reflect the quality of a restaurant.
I hope it can be improved.
There is another small detail. When you first enter the restaurant, park your car, and the waiter comes to open the door. He doesn’t open the door for ladies, but for men. He leaves after opening the door. Shouldn’t it be ladies first?
『Zhenniu Yakiniku Cuisine』 Australian Pureblood Wagyu [6]
⭐My luck exploded in May, and I got a chance to have close contact with Australian Wagyu [Victory
⭐The waiters in formal attire first showed the high-end feeling of the restaurant. The pieces of beef with beautiful patterns in the refrigerator in the hall were wrapped in blue labels, representing their noble status as Australian Pureblood Wagyu;
⭐Australian Wagyu is divided into different parts, and you can clearly taste different tastes. The protagonist of this meal is a piece of Australian Pureblood Wagyu fresh rib-eye. The waiter grilled it all the way, and grilled it on charcoal until it was 50%. It was tender and juicy, and the fat in the mouth was super crispy [Happy]
⭐I was also impressed by |Seafood salad^|New Zealand oyster tartare^, |Wagyu fried rice^, |Wagyu sea urchin tea bowl^
⭐I have a new goal in the future, saving money to eat meat [Insidious]

Zhaoji Laopu is an authentic Manchu restaurant. Its antique decoration style fully reflects the historical characteristics of the Manchus. It is said that the owner of Zhaoji Laopu is the fifth-generation descendant of Aixinjueluo, and has very high requirements for ingredients, so the dishes are very delicious.
Another old Zhaoji shop, but this one doesn't serve Japanese cuisine, but traditional Northeastern cuisine - Manchu royal cuisine (?). It's also located in the business and service area at the southeast corner of Xinghai Square. The decoration is very unique. When you enter the house, you will see wooden tables and chairs, which gives you a Qing Dynasty feel. There are portraits of successive emperors of the Qing Empire on the wall. The lighting is a bit dim, and people who come in feel solemn. The braised beef and pork elbow tasted good, but the eggplant was a bit too cold. The pot-fried pork is authentic, and the sauerkraut pork dumplings are delicious.

As for the dishes, I liked the oysters as an appetizer, and I just ate the other three. The fresh jellyfish was very appetizing, and the soup tasted a little bit strong, so remember to clean your mouth after drinking it; the sashimi bluefin trout was really fat-rich, and it was very delicious after being aged for nearly 10 days. The others were just average.
It was my first time eating Japanese food. The experience was very good. The chef was very gentle and the service was very considerate.
