Xicunriben Cuisine (suzhouxianggeliladajiu)

The old Japanese restaurant is located on the first floor of Shangri-La Hotel, Suzhou. The environment is quiet and comfortable, the dishes are rich and varied, the ingredients are fresh, and the taste is good! The service is warm and thoughtful, and there are young ladies in kimonos to lead you to your seat. It is very good and recommended.

I happened to see this Japanese restaurant when I was walking around nearby. I looked at the menu and thought there were quite a lot of things on it, so I went to try it. The grilled items were pretty good, I recommend them. The fried dumplings were also delicious, I recommend them.

We had a meeting at Shangri-La and had a business lunch at noon. The hotel said we could order from the Chinese restaurant or Japanese set meal. We chose Japanese set meal and sent the menu to me in advance. Everyone had chosen the meal in advance so that we could go and eat directly. As a result, our meeting was seriously delayed that day, so we couldn't go at the scheduled meal time. Fortunately, the restaurant was on the first floor of the hotel, which was very convenient. I ran to add WeChat and informed the progress of our meeting in real time so that the restaurant could prepare the meal in advance. In order to ensure the heat of the food, it couldn't be prepared too early. It was really not easy. The price of Japanese set meal is definitely more expensive than ordering a bowl of noodles, but it is rich and clean, which is really the first choice for business lunch! I ordered soba set meal, because I thought that I had eaten Japanese food the night before, and there would be a tea break at the meeting and a dinner party in the evening, so I didn't want to eat too much at noon. I am not a food critic, and I can't think of any words to describe the food. I can only use "not bad" or "okay" to express my feelings after eating. In short, the environment is quiet and comfortable, and the service is timely and thoughtful.

The salmon ingredients are fresh. The taste is particularly good. The environment is good. The waiter's attitude is also very good👍

Among the restaurants of Shangri-La Hotel, Suzhou, there is only one Japanese restaurant, called Nishimura Japanese Cuisine. Because it is a restaurant in the hotel, the area is very small, the quality of the food is average, the taste is really expensive, and the overall feeling is average, and I don’t feel like going there a second time. [Location] 1st floor, Shangri-La Hotel, No. 168, Tayuan Road, Suzhou, opposite Deli Store. [Service Quality] Because it is Shangri-La Hotel, a chain of five-star hotels, the service is still of a certain quality. However, since the person in charge of the catering department of Shangri-La Hotel, Suzhou has been changing, the service is not supervised enough, so the service can only be said to be mediocre, not very considerate and memorable. The waiter will enthusiastically guide you to your seat, order dishes, and the process of serving dishes is also in line with the rules. However, many of the waiters seem to be novices, obviously not well trained, and are not familiar with many restaurant affairs. [Quality of dishes] There are many Japanese living in Suzhou New District, and there are many Japanese restaurants in the new district, so the competition for Japanese food is very fierce. Nishimura Japanese Cuisine has a rich menu, but the prices of the dishes are really expensive, and the dishes do not include service charges and taxes. The a la carte dishes are not very affordable, so I ordered a Japanese cuisine for Dragon Boat Festival. A large pot of dishes, neatly placed on the plate, with a small amount of sashimi, scallops, vegetables, rice, beef, etc. It looks very pleasing to the eye, but the taste is quite unsatisfactory. The beef was cooked for too long and the meat was old; the scallops were baked for too short a time, with too much butter, greasy, and not delicious. The Dobin mushi and grilled chicken wings ordered in addition were also average in taste, and there was no feeling of nostalgia. Only the sashimi, including sweet shrimp, salmon, and tuna, were tender and fresh. [Summary] Fruit and coffee were given after the meal, but the cost-effectiveness of Nishimura Cuisine is too low, and I probably won't go there again in the future.

The environment is very good, the food is good value for money, and it is a good experience. It is worth recommending.
