About this place
Far and away the sweetest waitress I've ever met in China guided me around the buffet. Watching her glow over the myriad Western staples, from vegetables and salad to pizza and steak, made me weak. Soda, tea, coffee, beer is free and so is the alchemical baijiu. Baijiu is a clear liquor made mainly from sorghum that the Chinese lose their mind over. The baijiu served here is alchemical, because inside the clear glass container are ancient mushrooms, snakes, herbs, and berries.
Lunch is 48 yuan a head and dinner costs 68. Add 20 yuan to the price during holiday seasons.
This restaurant is on the second floor of the Shandong News Hotel, just overlooking the main lobby.
