Customer Reviews
Delicious! It was elegant (the setting) and quite possibly some of the best food I've had in Tianjin. We had an extremely elegant room reserved and as soon as we sat down a wonderful waitress served us a nice watermelon juice and immediately began composing our menu. We had a variety of delicious dishes before our baozi were made (right in front of us). The waitresses were kind and extremely courteous. The food was exquisite and since somebody invited us I can only give an assumption of the price (probably around 500 USD for the room and personalized menu) but it was well worth it.

A local driver brought us here as this is the original GouBuLi restaurant that hosted China Premier: Xi Jing Ping and President of Russia: Vladimir Putin. The dishes were heavier flavoured and salty if you are not used to it. Otherwise the food was acceptable. Authentic 18 folds buns. Paid 286 yuan for 4 dishes and 2 herbal drinks. Recommended to try for the experience. 狗不理大酒店 和平区和平路322号
Go Believe is the name of the restaurant. Since there are many subsidary outlets in Tianjin, we initially did not expect that it is going to be the worst place for us to dine in Tianjin. The service was lousy, we have called the waitress at least twice to make the order of the food. They are more enthusiastic in sweeping and mopping the floors, after 2 tables of customers seated in. The prices are quite steep and it is not worth trying for. You will not be served plain water if you did not request for any. After our meal, we felt very thirsty which we translates to lots of MSG being added into the 'goubuli' steamed buns. We called for our bills at least twice, and acknowledged by 2 waitresses but they never come to our table. In the end, we have to walk to the cashier to make our payment.
