[薄荷]环境：环境比较好，招牌很明显就可以看到，就餐位置也很宽敞。[米饭]口味：这边招牌菜张飞脆皮肘上菜时很惊艳，冷热交替云雾缭绕，具体可见我下面的视频，口味并没有很惊艳，但整体上是好吃的，而且还配了河南的特色烙馍。

[种草]地址:该店位于河南省许昌市魏都区建设路曹魏古城南门西20米[薄荷]环境：两层设计（一楼，负一楼），传统老中式餐厅装修风格，富贵感很强。餐厅维护的不错，做到了干净卫生整洁。[服务铃]服务：热情有温度，能满足顾客的基本要求[米饭]口味：当地特色菜菜品更是一绝。招牌菜张飞脆皮肘一定要点，产品相当惊艳，猪肘表皮烤得金黄酥脆，内里的肉质鲜嫩多汁，搭配特制的蘸料，香而不腻，一口咬下去，超有满足！还有就是这里的红烧大鲤鱼，一定也要点来尝尝，肉质鲜嫩有弹性，再加上河南特色的烹饪手法，很棒的一道菜！[糖果]性价比：价格方面也比较亲民，人均大概70元，性价比很高。位置就在曹魏古城附近，吃完就可以逛逛古城，挺好的搭配！[爱]推荐指数:⭐⭐⭐⭐
