On September 8, Weibo blogger @Gu Yue posted a video of Goubuli Baozi (Wangfujing Main Store).
In the video, the blogger gave a negative comment after eating at the restaurant: “It’s not that much unpalatable, but this quality is about 20 yuan, and 100 yuan for two boxes is a bit expensive.”
In the video, @Gu Yue said that the restaurant’s rating on Dianping.com was 2.85, which was the lowest rating among restaurants in Wangfujing.
The blogger walked into the restaurant and bought a cage of 8 sauce pork buns for 60 yuan, and another 8 pork buns for 38 yuan.
Finally, @Gu Yue concluded that the sauce pork bun is very greasy and does not use real materials; while the pork bun has thick skin and less stuffing, and the dough is sticky.
Another detail is that while waiting in the shop, there was a violent coughing sound from the restaurant kitchen, which lasted for several seconds.
