On that day, I went with friends and there were more people, so I called to ask if there were any tables available and directly booked a grilled fish with the boss over the phone. When we arrived, the boss asked us to choose a seat ourselves on the left side of the counter.

🔹 Salt Baked Fish $500

• The fish is completely wrapped in salt, very fresh with tender meat that has no fishy taste. It's stuffed with spices for flavor, and it's delicious even on its own with some pepper salt served alongside.

🔸 Garlic Stir-Fried Water Lily $180

• The water lily has a crisp and tender texture, with a moderate level of saltiness. It's a standard but consistently good stir-fried vegetable dish.

🔹 Salt and Pepper Dragon Balls $330

• Fried to perfection, crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, with a nice bite without being too hard. It's very suitable as a side dish to go with drinks.

🔸 Pineapple Shrimp Balls $380

• The shrimp balls have a thin skin and a somewhat ordinary taste, but overall they feel quite average without any standout elements.

🔹 Golden Sand Tofu $280

• The salted egg yolk flavor is rich and fragrant in every bite, with the tofu being silky smooth and a slightly crispy exterior, which is quite impressive.

🔸 Bamboo Shoots $180

• Well-prepared, with no thick fibers, maintaining a crunchy texture; the natural sweetness of the bamboo shoots stands out, making it a refreshing dish.

🔹 Fried Pork Intestines $280

• Crispy and fried perfectly with no fishy taste. I personally enjoy this kind of fried offal, and this dish completely hit the mark for my preferences. I recommend it to others who like this flavor.

🔸 Sweet and Sour Ribs $300

• The meat is a bit tough, with a lot of bones, and the sauce isn't particularly special, so I wouldn't want to order it again.

🔹 Three Cup Chicken $380

• The meat is a little tough, lacking the aromatic flavor of the three-cup sauce. I only ordered it because it was recommended on the menu, but it felt a bit disappointing.

🔅 Free outdoor parking, unlimited free rice, self-service utensils, and drinks are self-service with payment after the meal.

This is the Wandi Grilled Fish in Yilan Jiaoxi, a local restaurant that has been featured on food programs. The entire establishment is built with metal sheets, simple and plain but spacious, with a free outdoor parking lot nearby, offering plenty of space. If it's a busy holiday, you may need to wait.

The dining environment is surprisingly nice, with a large, clean, and bright space, red round tables with sufficient distance between them, making it comfortable. Surrounding the restaurant is the owner's own fish pond, and the grilled fish is freshly caught and made on the spot, really giving the feeling of farm-to-table.

Upon entering, the staff at the counter will arrange seating and take your order. After marking your choices on the menu, you take it to the counter, and you pay after your meal. On holidays, there is a 10% service charge. White rice is free and self-service, with bowls, chopsticks, and cups available for you to take. Drinks can also be taken from the refrigerator and paid for together at checkout.

The signature dish here is the salt-baked grilled fish, which is covered in thick salt before serving. The process of breaking it open is quite interesting. The fish itself is fresh, with tender and juicy flesh, stuffed with scallions, garlic, and Thai basil for flavor; it's delicious on its own, and even better paired with pepper salt for another taste.

The sautéed water lily is perfectly cooked, crunchy, and just seasoned right. The salt-fried dragon balls have a crispy exterior and a chewy interior, providing a nice bite. The pineapple shrimp balls are sweet and savory, delicious. The salt-fried tofu is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, quite pleasant to eat. The bamboo shoots are well marinated. The four-season fatty intestines are also quite good, fried crispy with a nice texture. The sweet and sour ribs are a bit tough and have too many bones; I’m not a fan of them. The three-cup chicken lacks a bit of sauce and wine flavor, not really resembling the typical three-cup dish.

Overall, the dishes at this restaurant are heavy on flavor, making them great with rice and suitable for group meals. Coupled with ample space, a clean environment, and fast service, it’s a dining spot worth considering when visiting Jiaoxi.

It’s been a while since I’ve eaten here.
Still delicious
It's a pity that the service attitude is a bit poor this time
When he got to the counter, he pointed to a seat.
Tell us to go ourselves
As a result, there was only a table and half a chair.
Halfway through the meal, the waiter told us that there were no vegetables for the soup we wanted.
So we simply didn’t order soup.
But later when I checked out, the boss even included the price of the soup==
But as far as the food is concerned, it’s pretty good.
The salted grilled fish is a must!
Not too salty and tastes just right
You have to knock off the salt yourself! Pretty cool~
Not recommended to order sashimi
Not very fresh
Then a plate of 16 slices costs 450
Even though it's quite expensive, it doesn't have that value.
We also ordered grilled fish with soy sauce, sweet and sour chicken, pineapple shrimp balls, and golden sand tofu.
Basically everything is pretty good
If you don’t like eating too oily food, I don’t recommend Jinsha Tofu.
I really don’t know if I’m drinking oil or eating tofu.
The sweet and sour sauce is not bad. If you like it, you can try it.
The food is served pretty quickly
There is parking space outside the venue
It is recommended that you call first to reserve a table.
Otherwise, it will be very easy to get full and no seats available!
I heard that the characters on the salted grilled fish can be customized.
Very cool~
