GOLDEN PALACE GOURMET
We discussed and looked at a few Dongbei places, and settled on this partly because @ike had good memories of it from along time ago, partly because @JenKalb had shared a recent Sietsema shout-out, partly because I found their vegetable section intriguing (what are tea plant mushrooms ad why have I never eaten them?) and partly because we were starving by the time we were in the vicinity 
Complimentary snacks of shredded potato salad / pickle and shredded spicy cabbage salad / pickle.
The server helped us narrow down some choices from the menu — cumin lamb, dry stir fried tea plant mushrooms, and pork pancakes ended up on the table. We stopped there because we thought we would continue to graze elsewhere, but then we couldn’t because we were stuffed – so we should just have ordered another dish anyway 
. (The tables around us with less people had 2-3 dishes per head, so they must be taking home leftovers, because the portions were generous.)
