Personally, I think the places for group gatherings are:
1. There is a loess-roasted pigeon at Shahekou Railway Station. Their barbecue tastes very good. We went there last time for a class reunion. Yes, I ordered many types of barbecue (including vegetables, steamed buns, lamb chops, meat skewers, and 2 boxes of beer), which cost 40 yuan per person. Very full.
2. Tongdelai or Cuifengyuan hot pot, the food is affordable.
3. A more suitable place for stir-fried vegetables is Dadi Spring Pancake on Xi’an Road.
Buffet prices around 4.40-50, such as Kim Hans, Made in Samba, Koryo Garden, and Canxi Barbecue.
