Every dish fresh prepared, small menu, enough choice. rice noodle soup, bibimbap and the veggy pancake with octopus are my favorites. Enjoy those with a cold beer or ginseng tea, sitting under the tree, dinner could hard be better in Dali.

We often come up here for the Tibetan ghoulash which is like a tasty east European stew that is very filling and a reasonable price. Jim is notoriously harsh and mistrusting with his staff so service can be variable.We also like the Tibetan banquet which is a good option if there are at least four of you. We counted at least 16 dishes as well as a delicious dessert, for just 30 RMB per person. You may want to avoid Jim’s No. 1 Whiskey, a local moonshine whose harshness is disguised by a few local herbs.

Good Panda

Reviewed By Pavel G

Came here for dinner twice during our stay at Dali. This was our favorite place to get local food. Sure, it leaves a lot to be desired in terms of decor and atmosphere but so does every single other restaurant in China. The food here is excellent. Our favorites included the mixed mushroom plate and Yunnan style duck. The English menu is a huge plus as well. And, of course, 12 rmb for Laobeer dark lager is awesome!

Duan's Kitchen

Reviewed By HappyDragon0201

A part from taking order and paying bill, the people work there do not care about the customer even call them many times. This was the only one restaurant served low quality food in Dali while we were the town. No wonder the customers were all tourists and no locals. Very poor service and food. Not recommended.

Kaiyi's Kitchen

Reviewed By crosswycke

We had lunch here. The menu seems to be mostly Bai food but also has some western dishes. The setting was very pleasant but the food was just okay. The location is very good - on Foreigner Street - and was convenient to our hotel. Because the food is so inexpensive, it's probably worth a try.

2. No.3 Korean Restaurant

No.3 Korean Restaurant is run by Korean and Chinese couple. We make traditional Korean popular food.

We were actually headed for Mulan Restaurant, which is also reviewed on TA, but this restaurant's storefront caught our eye. We had read the reviews of it here, but weren't sure we wanted Korean while soaking up (touristy) Chinese culture. The clean, bright, comfortable feel that radiated from the windows made us look closer. We saw fresh and attractively presented food on people's plates. My partner showed the staff her note in Chinese characters that says, "I don't eat beef, pork, lamb, chicken, duck or any other meat. I do eat fish and shellfish and all vegetables." The hostess and a waitress, with some interest and excitement, paged through their menu pointing to their picks for her. We took a cozily stylish seat and ended up each choosing BiBimBop, with squid for my partner and traditional beef for me. We agreed that it was an exemplary interpretation of the dish. Our orders came with three different kinds of pickles and generous bowls of seaweed soup on the side. We shared a large bottle of the local Dali beer, which is clean and light. It was the best meal of our three days in Dali. Go. You'll like it.

Emma

This is a restaurant of Chinese home-style cuisine based on the local flavor and Yunnan ingredients with less oil and less additive. We are in the center of Dali ancient town against Yu'er park back door . We serve dishes for non-vegetarian and vegetarian

A very cozy restaurant with English spoken and extremely friendly staff.We ordered the seasonal tree bark dish and it was fenomenal! Don’t miss it! Also, the beef stir fry with mushrooms and chili was delicious, as well as the pumpkin with goat cheese.The prices are reasonable, the beers are cold and the food is fantastic!
