Lotous Pavilion Review

I came to this restaurant to eat when I stayed at Nanyuan Hotel many years ago. It seems that the name was just Lotus Hall at that time. I had a good impression. This time, I came to Suzhou for one night for something. I stayed at Nanyuan Hotel. After settling down, I took a walk in the garden and came to the restaurant. I saw that the name of the restaurant was changed to be more artistic. It opened at 5 pm. When I entered the door, I was told that all seats were reserved. A gentleman who looked like a supervisor was also muttering that it seemed that some priority seats should be reserved for guests staying in the hotel. Fortunately, the girl checked that there were guests who had reserved at 6:30 pm. We had enough time to eat first, and it was almost the best position in the restaurant, next to the window, and there was a green garden outside the window. Looking at the menu, there are many changes, even Maoxuewang and the like, but it’s a pity that there are fewer traditional Suzhou dishes to choose from. I ordered a few dishes, and the dishes were very good. The appetizer hawthorn cake was pleasing to the eye and melted in the mouth. The shepherd’s purse spring rolls were also done just right, and the first-class glass pigeon was crispy. For the main course, we chose the braised snowflake beef ribs in sauce, which was not only full in size but also delicious in taste. The red noodle soup was just average. Unfortunately, the service level of such a restaurant is a bit behind. They charge a 15% service fee, but they never took the initiative to change the pelvis. When the pigeon bones were full, we asked for a change of pelvis, but a male waiter who passed by rushed to change it. Several female waiters just stood there blankly. In addition, the invoice was said to be electronic, but I didn't receive it three days after returning to Shanghai. I called to ask at noon, and the person who answered the phone said that he was a temporary worker and didn't know. He asked me to call again in the evening, and didn't take the initiative to record my request and contact information. I waited for three minutes at the switchboard in the evening before the call was connected. Then I added WeChat and provided detailed invoicing information. After another day, I still didn't receive it. I called again and asked, and the reply I got was that the paper invoice was placed at the front desk of the hotel, asking me if I could pick it up when I was free. Under normal circumstances, even if I live in Suzhou, the restaurant should send the invoice to me. This is the case for ordinary restaurants, and high-end restaurants in five-star hotels should take the initiative to do so. It's been a week now. I'll see if I can receive the invoice in the office tomorrow, my first day at work. Alas, the service level of the restaurant has dropped significantly.

Nanyuan Hotel is a garden-style hotel. Staying here not only allows you to experience the beauty of Suzhou gardens, but also allows you to taste Suzhou cuisine at Soo He 1929. The restaurant is run by a famous chef. The dishes are delicious and tasty.

Nanyuan was particularly quiet in the drizzle. We arrived early and the restaurant was empty except for the staff. We enjoyed a rare half-hour private dining time. The tea was fragrant, the dishes were exquisite, and the service was very thoughtful. It was definitely enough for two people.

The environment is first-class, the service is very good, the taste is definitely worthy of the title of a five-star hotel. Ordered the fish fillets and the duck tongue and the sauce meat, the fried fish fillets are delicious and tender; the duck tongue is delicious and the fragrance is strong; the sauce is fat and not greasy.

This score is given to the waiter. On the weekend night, it was another rainy day. I was too lazy to go out to eat. I went to the hotel to ask about the lotus. When the seat was full, I offered to stay with my husband's mobile phone number and tell us that once we have a location, we will notify us immediately. After waiting for about half an hour, we arranged for us to be seated, and the children's dining chairs and tableware have been put away. Maintain a good reputation in the hotel, but unfortunately many dishes are on the menu, and there is no actual order. So dinner will also conform to the public opinion, eat less. The price is OK, the quality is good, the taste is good! The variety seems to be a bit less.

Smoked fish: Although it is a cold dish, it is still hot, sweet and sweet, like it, but the family feels a bit sweet; dried braised pork: the stew is very tender, the meat is not sweet, but slightly woody, but fortunately not as sweet as expected; oily river shrimp: river shrimp is very fresh, very tender, slightly sweet, this sweetness is acceptable; Old duck scorpion: very fresh, very fresh

The rotten paste in the south garden is actually cooking noodles. The soup is made of meat bones and chicken skeletons. In order to avoid hiding the taste of itself, the soup will not put ham, let alone MSG chicken essence. The alkaline water and fried Suzhou Qing are pickled in the soup for about ten minutes, and a rotten paste can be served on the table. Although the ingredients are simple, they are extremely test of their strength. The soup is delicious and delicious. It is a very special bowl of Su-style noodle soup.
