Tantanxian BBQ (Qingshan Street)

Tantanxian BBQ is a Korean-style barbecue restaurant opposite Yugengshan Plaza, at the junction of Qingshan Street and Huaxing Street in Wuhu's Jinghu District, Anhui province, China. It is rated about 4.4 and is open until midnight, which makes it handy before or after drinks on the bar-street corner. The dishes named on the listing are salt-baked live shrimp (yanju huoxia) and Angus grain-fed short ribs (Angesi guyang niuzaigu). Korean-style barbecue in China typically involves grilling meat and seafood at the table or having staff cook them, and diners eat the grilled pieces with lettuce, dipping sauces and side dishes. The salt-baked shrimp are cooked in a salt crust that concentrates their flavour, while the short ribs are a richer, fattier cut well suited to the grill. The restaurant is a casual, social venue; groups gather around the grill, the atmosphere is lively and can be loud in the evening, and there is no dress code. The location on a bar-street corner means that the crowd is often young and the mood relaxed, with late evening the busiest period. Per-person prices are not published on the listing, but barbecue meals in this style are generally mid-priced for the city, depending on how much meat is ordered. Beer is the usual accompaniment to barbecue, and no particular wine programme is noted. Reservations are not required on weekdays: the listing says the restaurant is walk-in, but suggests reserving at weekends via Dianping. Opening hours on the Trip.com listing are 11:00-24:00, and visitors are advised to confirm on Dianping. The telephone number is +86 553 5727177. The restaurant is close to the central Jinghu District nightlife area, so it suits a late dinner for groups of friends or colleagues.
