Xi Bei is a place I am unfamiliar with, however this restaurant I have frequented often. Situated just behind the Shenzhen Sports Stadium, it’s quite a distance to travel to. Recently however more Metro stops have opened up making it more accessible. On the corner of a quiet street, from the outside the restaurant does not look like much. On entering you are greeted by waitresses in uniforms that remind me of the Cultural Revolution propaganda movies of the late 60′s. Xi Bei and Xinjiang both share a love of lamb which shows in this place’s menu.

Unfortunately, as of late, my eagerness to return has been extinguished. This restaurant suffers from the same fate as many Chinese businesses in Shenzhen, starting by offering a lot and going out of their way for customers until they begin making money and then they just slacking off.

On my last visit, one of the most important dishes at this particular restaurant, the yoghurt, we were told was sold out （this being around 8pm on a weekday）. It’s the dish that brought us back so often, and now were not even guaranteed that it would be available on future returns.

Previously when we put our cellphones on the table, the waitresses would come and slip them into plastic packets to protect them, this has since been done away with.

Waitresses were pretty unenthusiastic about their work.

However the food has not changed in quality at all. Still as good as ever. And unlike the Xiang Mi Hu branched mentioned here, there are no queues to get in.

If you are in the area and want to try your luck at getting some of the honey topped yoghurt, or fancy a lambunctious feast, then give this place a try.
