ZhUANGYUANLOU RESTAURANT Review

When visiting Ningbo, you can go to Zhuangyuanlou Hotel to taste the local Ningbo cuisine. The dishes are very good and the restaurant is decorated in a very unique way, especially the hanging list of top scorers as soon as you enter the restaurant, which records the names of top scorers from past dynasties.

I went to the Ningbo Museum and heard the story of Zhuangyuanlou. I went to the main store to eat. The environment is very good, there are comments from celebrities (I saw Yu Qiuyu's inscription), the food is very delicate and tastes good! The price is a bit expensive. It's also good to go there once to experience Ningbo cuisine

Accompanied by the greetings of the lobby receptionist, we were led to our seats. After presenting the menu, the waiter stood aside and recommended signature dishes according to the number of guests. While waiting for the dishes to be served, we could enjoy the beautiful scenery of Yongjiang River through the glass window. The simple Zhuangyuan Cake, the sweet and sticky Eight Treasure Rice, the crispy and tender yellow croaker wrapped in bean curd, the salty and fragrant seaweed and osmanthus rice cake, and the authentic Yong-style dishes were delivered to our mouths, which made our taste buds remember the taste of childhood. The whole dining process can deeply feel the Zhuangyuan culture of Zhuangyuanlou, which is a restaurant with cultural charm.

Zhuangyuanlou is very popular, and the dishes are delicious. There are free snacks. I ordered a few signature dishes, and I was not disappointed. But the service there is really not good. Is it because the business is too good that they can't take care of it? The waiter didn't respond when I called him (I hope the management will be strengthened). A well-known restaurant, good taste and good service are all very important!

It is a time-honored food, great! It is very close to the Old Bund, by the Yongjiang River, quiet and elegant, with beautiful scenery. There are cultural relics and calligraphy in the lobby, with a profound cultural heritage. The weather is hot, and there are free iced watermelon juice and other snacks in the store, which I like very much! The dishes are exquisite and delicious, and the service is warm, thoughtful and meticulous! If you go to Ningbo by car again, you must come!

Zhuangyuanlou is the oldest restaurant in the area that serves Ningbo cuisine! Chef Chen's specialty is yellow croaker and sea cucumber soup, where small yellow croaker meat and sea cucumber are stewed together, which has an excellent flavor. The favorite dish of old Ningbo people is yellow croaker, which is wrapped in seaweed flour and fried until golden. The aroma that wafts out can evoke the delicious memories of old Ningbo people. The most delicious dish is yellow croaker braised with snow vegetables, and the most suitable dish for wine and rice is red crab and mud snail. Although I didn't eat the "Kung Fu dish" rock sugar turtle, I learned a lot while eating and chatting with the beautiful director of Ningbo Food Channel in the evening. The coastal Ningbo is indeed full of seafood!

The dishes at Zhuangyuanlou are not only delicious but also exquisitely made. The free glutinous rice balls are especially delicious. The yellow croaker and sea cucumber soup, conch slices (on oranges), Zhuangyuan cake, etc. are all quite delicious. The service attitude is also super good, helping the elderly with mobility problems to find a wheelchair and push it to a place where there are taxis. It's really great!
