Nanjing Impressions (Zhongshanling)

It's close to the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum scenic area. I came here to eat after visiting. There was a huge queue. Fortunately, a friend came to get a number at 4:30, otherwise we wouldn't be able to get a meal. The dishes are local Nanjing specialties with many varieties. Sugar-coated taro sprouts, red bean dumplings, and Meiling porridge are must-orders every time. They are inexpensive and of high quality. There are performances after 6:30 in the evening.

When we stepped into the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum restaurant in Zijinfang at 8:30 and asked if there was anything to eat, the waiter warmly invited us to sit down, took our order quickly, and said that if we were any later, we would be off work. We ordered the signature chicken soup wonton, duck blood vermicelli soup, roast duck buns, and pancake beef floss, which tasted really good. The price was also cheap, only 82 yuan. We were full and satisfied.

This restaurant is in a good location. Many tourists who come to Zhongshan Scenic Area will choose this restaurant for dining. If it is on weekends and holidays, it is even more crowded with customers. The dishes of Nanjing Dapaidang belong to Nanjing local cuisine. It can be said to be a representative work of Jinling cuisine, and it also has the style of Huaiyang cuisine. Many home-cooked dishes here are authentic and well-liked by diners. The snacks are even more exquisite. Roast duck buns, osmanthus lotus root, sugar taro seedlings, Meiling porridge, etc. are all must-orders. When friends from other places come to visit Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, and Meiling Palace, I often recommend this restaurant as the first choice for dining. It is indeed quite suitable for this scenic spot.

Nanjing Da Pai Dang Zhongshan Mausoleum Store has the following features: - Decoration style: The store is decorated in retro style, recreating the old appearance of teahouses and wine shops in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, with eight-immortal tables and many lanterns hanging, creating a strong inn atmosphere. - Convenient location: Located at F1, Zijin Cultural Plaza, No. 9 Zhongshanmen Street, Xuanwu District, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, close to Exit 1 of Alfalfa Garden Station on Line 2, with convenient transportation. - Rich dishes: As a Chinese catering company mainly engaged in Nanjing local flavor dishes, it provides a variety of authentic Nanjing snacks and special dishes. - Cultural experience: There are sometimes traditional opera performances in the store, allowing customers to experience the traditional culture of Nanjing while dining. If you want to know more about Nanjing Da Pai Dang Zhongshan Mausoleum Store, or have other needs, please continue to ask me questions.

If you want to taste Nanjing cuisine, this is the right place. Seeing so many diners, you can imagine how popular it is. The decoration in the store is prosperous and lively, and the waiters are busy and polite. You can get your own tea, which provides cold and hot barley tea. The old-fashioned Yangchun noodle soup is fresh and chewy, and the Yangtze River whitefish with chicken sauce is very tender and has no bones. You can also listen to books while eating, which is really enjoyable!

Every time when friends and relatives from other places come to visit, if they only treat one meal, the first choice must be Nanjing food stalls, with good environment, good service, many dishes, and full of Nanjing characteristics. It is just up from Exit 1 of the Alfalfa Garden subway station, and the transportation is very convenient. There are always crowds of people, but fortunately, the queue is fast. The environment is pretty good, a little noisy, and there are Suzhou Pingtan performances in the evening. Recommended: sugar taro seedlings, fried dumplings, lion head, sweet and sour spare ribs, Yangchun noodles, duck blood vermicelli soup. [Location] It is very convenient to get there just after Metro Line 1. There are also many parking spaces nearby, and parking is also convenient, but the parking fee is a little expensive. [Environment] The decoration is antique, with good details. There are Suzhou Pingtan performances in the hall at night. The hall is relatively noisy. The private room is on the underground first floor, relatively quiet, and the soundproofing uses a wooden carved door. If the next door is noisy, it is not soundproof, and there is a minimum consumption. [Service] The service is excellent. The aunt saw that I was carrying a bag of things and took the initiative to ask me if it was heavy and if I needed help. When I went to the bathroom, the cleaning lady reminded me that the floor was slippery after being mopped, and reminded me to be careful. We chatted until 10 pm, and the uncle and aunt came to ask us to pay the bill, and apologized again and again, saying that they were going to get off work, sorry. In short, it was very pleasant. [Food] The Huadiao lobster was so delicious, even better than what I had in Jiangnan Zao, with good taste, firm meat, and absolutely good quality. The other dishes were also good, and there was no bad dish. I feel that the taste is better than the restaurants in the city.

I've eaten at Nanjing food stalls in Beijing, and the taste was pretty good. This time I made a special trip to try the authentic taste, and I didn't expect it to be better than Beijing. There were more than 100 tables in line, and you can imagine how many people were queuing at the door. Although there were many people, the speed of serving the dishes was OK, but the signature shrimp roe tofu was served too slowly, and I almost returned it to pay the bill. But after it was served, I tasted it, the shrimp was indeed fresh, and it was worth the wait.

Get off at Mulihu Station on Subway Line 2. It is just behind the square after you get out. It is very close and you can find it after a walk. It feels that it is okay before 11:30, and there are not so many people in the queue. After that, there are really many people in the queue. Some people even quarreled over the issue of queuing seats. The scene is quite heated. Personally, I think that Nanjing Dapaidang may be too popular, so the service in terms of queuing and seating is a bit behind and lacking. Ordering dishes is done by scanning the QR code on WeChat. #水晶虾饺# looks a bit small and is gone in one bite, but the taste is OK. #清蒸狮头# a small pot of 28, a big meatball, the meat tastes relatively glutinous and soft, the soup is very delicious, very good. #金凌烤鸭# tastes quite fragrant. #南京素配锦# tastes very refreshing. #金牌炸油鳳糊# 28 is a bit expensive, but it tastes pretty good. Duck tongue is also OK. They probably forgot about the sugar taro seedlings and didn't bring them, so they refunded them when they paid the bill. Go to the left and you will find the sightseeing bus ticket office, 10/trip, but there is only sightseeing line 1 here, which is a small train that goes to the Underwater World, Meiling Palace, and Zhongshan Mausoleum South Station, but not to Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum. But you can also take a bus nearby, because the routes of the sightseeing bus and bus here are basically the same. The bus is only 2, which is relatively cheap and cost-effective.
