Must-eat food in Yanji

When arriving at a new area, the first thing that comes to mind is what good food is available. The second thing to do is to find places to play.

Today's article introduces the must-eat snacks in Yanji, such as Jindalai cold noodles, which are cheap and delicious. The store also has sweet and sour pork, so you can eat your fill for very little money. Here are some other delicacies, check them out.

The first Yanji specialty food: Jindalai cold noodles

Address: Opposite to Mingzhu Shopping Center. The fast food restaurant on the first floor only offers cold noodles, but you can order food on the third floor after taking the elevator.

Recommended: Cold noodles 18 yuan a bowl, sweet and sour pork (delicious, different from the one in Harbin), etc.

Personal experience: First of all, Jindalai cold noodles are very cheap and the quantity is large. In fact, one bowl of cold noodles is enough for two people who go on a trip. Secondly, Jindalai cold noodles are one of the most famous delicacies in North Korea, so people who go to Yanji must eat Jindalai cold noodles.

The second Yanji specialty food: Jeonju Bibimbap Restaurant

Address: No. 142-3, Canhua Street, Yanji City, open 24 hours

Recommended dishes: stone pot bibimbap, pork bibimbap, stone pot soybean paste soup, deep-fried squid rings, spicy fried octopus, rice sausage, seafood cake, etc.

Personal experience: There are two ways to dine: Korean heated ondol and ordinary table (Korean heated ondol is recommended), two people can sit on one side and keep warm. Just order a few of what you want to eat. If you order too much, you won’t be able to finish it. The squid rings are dipped in ketchup so you can eat them slowly. The shops open at 9:30. If you can't sit for that long, you can go to the park opposite the hotel for a stroll (it's a free park) where there may be morning exercises.

The third Yanji specialty food: Hongji Seafood Soup Restaurant

Address: West Seafood Street, Yanbian No. 2 Middle School

Tel: 2686868 15904333003

Recommended dishes: Steamed crab (super delicious), hairy crab, dry pot red clams, garlic scallops, garlic clams, spicy fried sea snails, seafood scallion pancakes (super delicious), spicy tripe, etc. It is best to call and reserve the crab before you go, as it is easy to be sold out if you go at night.

Personal experience: Yanji seafood is very sufficient, especially the steamed crab (super delicious)

The fourth Yanji specialty food: Yuannainai rice dumplings

Address: Opposite to 110 Xinhua Street, Yanji City

Recommended: Pork belly rice set meal (choose two from pork belly, duck meat, and pork elbow, the first two are recommended as they are not greasy). One set meal is enough for two people. If you want to try the special Korean drinks, order a pot of homemade rice wine, which has a low alcohol content and is not intoxicating, so ladies can drink it too.

Personal experience: Yuan Nainai Baofan is a small shop. You can take a taxi there. Yanji is a small city and you can get there with only a starting price of ten yuan!

The fifth Yanji specialty food: Korean coffee shop

Address: Coffee Bene, opposite Yanji University

Recommended: coffee, ice cream (maybe there are promotions to save some money), light meals and snacks, and ice water is free.

Personal experience: I took a taxi there. The first floor storefront is very small and hard to find. It is located on the left side of Lotte Fast Food. Through the small glass door, I went up to the second floor. The door is automatic and opens with the push of a button. The environment is very nice, especially with many college students, and you order at the counter.

6The sixth Yanji specialty food: Liu’s seaweed rice roll

Address: The fast food restaurant is behind the shopping street, in the blue circle!

Recommended: various rice rolls, spicy rice cakes, etc.

Personal feeling: It is very cheap, and the seaweed rice rolls with local characteristics are very authentic although the shop is small.
