Dong Lai Shun 东来顺 in Nanjing

Dong Lai Shun's original restaurant opened in 1903 in Beijing and after that, many other branches appeared all across the country. Dong Lai Shun is famous for its beef and lamb dishes. they specialize in mongolian styled thinly sliced beef for hotpot. this time i went and tried their lamb, beijing style crispy duck, and beef. i think everyone should try it at least once. i usually don't like to order so many fried food but it was worth it. i highly recommend the duck and lamb dishes there. i think it's best to go there during winter times. i went on a sizzling hot summer day, and i was sweating too much after eating there. i still thoroughly enjoyed it!
