Qilu Beef Soup 齐鲁牛肉汤

Really a hidden gem at Bellaire. The restaurant is of good vibe, got sweet light and decors. The beef fried rice is truly what should be called a fried rice. It’s firm and tasty. Also my friend’s signature braised beef noodles is phenomenal. The beef is super tender and the broth is rice. A little bit spicy but should be fine for most people. Would definitely come back again

Came here on a Friday evening for dinner, and we are glad we came by! The prices for most dishes are very reasonable for the close to authentic Chinese flavors, the solid meat portions per dish, and the freshness and tastiness you get. The menu is also has enough variety to keep you coming back to try new dishes. Normally, I would give this overall rating for food alone a three star, but considering the value, ambiance and authentic experience, I bumped it up to a four.

this is a pretty new restaurant, the place is clean, its kinda like a self serve place, so you get your own drink from the teapot, is only water and tea, and when i was there the tea was cold. Anyway the mean focus was food, the Mixed beef offal soup tasted quite nice, good amount of content, flavourful soup, overall nice! but the good thing stopped there. My wife got the signatured braised beef noodles, the soup is flavorless, the beef was tough, and the noodles lack flavour and texture. beef backed flatbread is too doughy and not enough fillings. cold beef salad didnt tast like anything, too much raw onion and not enough meat. shredded potato and cabbage is too salty. Pickled garlic is just so so, not worth $5. So overall, the offal soup is good, but everything else missed the mark. not recommended.

Dec 2024: came here for a simple light dinner. Both braised stew noodle 🍜 and delight beef soup are light. clean neat environment, feels as the nowadays modern noodle house in Asia. The food is quite authentic, the price is quite reasonable as well. The competition in this stripe mall is getting fierce!

I enjoyed this place! It’s kind of fast casual style where you order up front and then grab a seat. This was our order: -Baked Flatbread (pork bc they were out of beef). Not a lot of meat. Wanted it to be either more toasted or flakey. Bread was more just chewy and a little mushy in parts. -Mixed cold dish: spicy shredded potato, fried peanuts, cold cabbage. Really good. Recommend getting this to add some veggies to the meal. -Signature Braised Beef Noodles: this was really big serving. We each got a whole order. I would consider next time mixing up and sharing one bowl together because it is so large. Great beefy flavor with umami, soy flavor, and spices. You can taste the star anise and the mix if earthy spices. It’s not spicy, but if you want you can add chili oil from the table. The noodles were perfectly cooked and very QQ. Overall, fun place. Some inconsistencies, but honestly am excited to go back and try the other offerings.

I’m so excited to see a new restaurant opened at Metropole Center. I have been waiting for Qilu Beef Soup for few months since I saw the sign on the building. It’s right next to Jusgo Supermarket. I like this location because it has plenty of parking and convenient to get in. The entrance is on the side, not facing the parking lot. Front of the house has logical layout. I particularly like the counter order because it gives me a street-food vendor feel. I ordered Mixed Beef Offal Soup 牛杂汤 and Flatbread 火烧 for my first time because I was craving for clear beef soup. The soup was very tasty and there were plenty of meats. I like the different textures in the soup. I’ll be sure to try the noodle soup and hot pot next time.

Brand new open, I’m glad I came here and tried it. Their hot beef tendons is really good. Also the beef noodles soup!

Chinese style beef noodle soup. The food is fresh and delicious; the beef is tender, the soup is very tasty. The price is reasonable, great value. The double beef platter is a little too salty. The restaurant is clean and the parking is easy. I will definitely come back soon.

Taste great! This is self service restaurants. You order at the counter and pay. Water station is a bit crowded. All other dinnerware are available for you to pick up. Highly recommend the Mixed beef offal hot pot, it is really good. Their beef noodle also very tasty.

I'm so excited to see a new restaurant opened at Metropole Center. I have been waiting for Qilu Beef Soup 齐鲁牛肉汤 for few months since I saw the sign on the building.

Front of the house has logical layout. I particularly like the counter order because it gives me a street-food vendor feel. During my first visit, I ordered Mixed Beef Offal Soup 牛杂汤 ($10) and Flatbread 火烧 ($3.50) because I was craving for clear beef soup. The soup was very tasty and there were plenty of meats. I like the different textures in the soup. I'll be sure to try the noodle soup and hot pot next time. I came back the following week to try Beef Soup 牛肉汤 ($10) and Pickled Garlic 腊八蒜 ($5) because I wanted to try just beef and nothing else. The garlic was to to fend off my cold. The soup was simple like last time. I really like both dishes I ordered, especially the garlic came in an abundance. My final try was the Signature Braised Beef Noodles ($11) and Braised Pork Ear ($8). Unfortunately, that didn't cut it. The noodle soup tasted light like the other clear beef soup, just darker and it was lacks the braised beef 红烧牛肉 flavor. The pig ears got lots of sliced onions and garlic. The whole dish was more watery form the sauce. It tasted acceptable. But I am not used to the light flavor. Overall, Qilu Beef Soup is okay place for tasty beef soup in the winter time. I would return with friends to try some other dishes.

The food was great! I came here with my family and we ordered the beef soup, shredded potato, beef & potatoes, and signature braised beef noodles. The service was amazing as well. We were served a cold dish on the house and a refill on the soup despite being here to eat past closing time. The staff really seem to care whether you're enjoying your food and are very kind. The atmosphere is very home-like and cozy. I'm sure it would be nice to eat here alone. I've never left a review before, but this place was so comforting and cheered me up instantly, so I felt inclined to say something about it.
