Guangzhou Restaurant Yuehua Road Branch is located on the fifth and sixth floors of Zhujiang International Building, near Beijing Road Pedestrian Street in Guangzhou. Although it was the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the queue had already started when I arrived at nine o'clock, but there was no queue for the big tables, and the queues were all for four people. It seemed that the small tables were basically all locals, and the aunts and uncles gathered for morning tea. We ordered several famous snacks that ranked high: red rice sausage, shrimp dumplings, chicken feet, taro ribs, pork liver porridge, etc. The taste was really good. The six of us ate until we couldn't eat anymore, and we were still not satisfied. If there were a few more friends, we could taste more delicacies.
After the store was renovated, the number of seats in the hall was reduced by about one-third, so if you go late for morning tea now, you may have to wait for a seat. The area marked out has been transformed into a Kung Fu Tea House, with tea seats costing 15-20 yuan. Tea seats in the hall have also increased from 8 yuan to 10 yuan.
The menu has also been adjusted. What is gratifying is that a lot of double and triple dim sum have been added, so even one or two people can taste multiple dim sum. There is no need to pack and it is not easy to cause waste.
The products are still remarkable. There is basically no major problem with the dim sum. In terms of dishes, the braised goose with sauce is delicious, the Hainanese chicken with crispy skin and boneless is superb, and the fried beef noodles are also quite outstanding.
The service is generally good, but due to the good business in recent months, some management deficiencies have been inadvertently exposed. I hope it can get better and better.

How can a store that has survived for so long on Beijing Road not have some skills?
The store entrance is right at the corner, and the sign is very eye-catching. You have to turn the corner to enter the store to reach the dining area. It is packed with people [covering face]. Fortunately, there is a back, otherwise fire protection 🧯 would be a problem.
Phoenix milk paste is more fragrant than double skin milk. It is a mixture of eggs 🥚 and milk 🥛. I am really confused by the fragrance. 🧱 I highly recommend it [amazing]
Red bean double skin milk is more standard, you can try it [planting grass]

Of all the desserts on Guangzhou's dessert street, I prefer Baihua. It's not a big place, but it's basically full of people. The boss emphasizes that the desserts are made with buffalo milk, and the egg custard is sweet enough, but it's smooth and fragrant when you put it in your mouth. It's definitely the authentic product!

The environment is really beautiful, worthy of being one of the four major garden restaurants in Guangzhou
Pavilions, towers, misty waterside pavilions
Infinite garden scenery
The private room is well decorated and very service:
Add 15% service charge and 20 yuan per person tea fee
A bit of a rip-off
We sat in the private room and served ourselves, and the waiter had to shout
Taste
Authentic Cantonese dishes, locals say it is not as delicious as before, it is average, the price-performance ratio is not very high, but the scenery is good, mainly the environment
It is the largest garden restaurant in Guangzhou. It consists of rockeries, fish ponds, curved corridors, lakeside restaurants, seafood boats, etc., with a well-arranged layout. My favorite dishes are the Golden Roasted Suckling Pig, Eight Treasure Winter Melon Soup, and Garden Fragrant Chicken.

I haven't eaten here for a long time. I came here after get off work because I thought about the buy one get one free pigeon on the membership day. I had already taken a number online on the way, but I waited for more than an hour in total, and only got one pigeon.
Grilled beef tongue with ginger and braised pigeon. Very satisfying double rice (small pot). Still delicious.
Bean curd with water mustard greens. First time ordering this. The bean curd is very soft and delicious.
Salt and pepper fish. Very crispy, but not much fish meat inside.
The product is good. The taste and freshness of the dishes are all online. The classic salt-baked pigeon tastes good, with smooth skin and tender meat. The copper plate sand ginger baked pork tongue is super crispy. The big satisfying double rice is quite delicious and appetizing.
Here, more attention is paid to service management. The waiter is friendly. If you wait for more than 20 minutes, you will be given a dish as compensation according to the length of time. The same is true for serving dishes. If the dishes are not served in 30 minutes, there will be compensation. Drinks and snacks are provided for the waiting seats.
The dining environment is average because I was arranged to sit in the aisle seat. In addition to seeing the dirty partitions of the private room, you can also see a lot of sundries. In addition, the yellowed newspapers under the glass of the dining table are also disgusting.
The price is relatively popular and the portion is moderate.

Came here on June 29, 2013.
Tao Tao Ju is the top teahouse in Guangzhou, and this branch is located in the main store on the old commercial street. I chose to come here specifically because eating here is basically a tourist project.
When I arrived at the restaurant early in the morning, there were already many people inside. I was alone, so I had to share a table with others. There was no waiter in the restaurant to show me the seats, so I had to find them myself. Just when I didn't know where to sit, an old lady found me and said something. She found that I didn't understand Cantonese, so she switched to Mandarin and said "Sit here" with a standard Cantonese accent... The whole process was a very real "travel" experience.
After sitting down and looking around, I found that most of the diners were locals, both men and women, young and old. It seems that I also saw the legendary scene of blind dates taking advantage of morning tea... It can be said that in the lobby of this restaurant, you can also see the fireworks of the life of the old Cantonese.
I won't comment on the food. It's delicious. I ate it all by myself, but I was so full that I passed the lunch directly.
Tao Tao Ju's main store in Diyipu is a century-old store on Guangzhou's Shangxiajiu Commercial Pedestrian Street. Compared with other branches in the city, this store has more historical elements, especially the sky garden on the top floor, where you can see the whole picture of Tao Tao Pavilion and the old Xiguan charm that stretches along Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street. As for snacks, there are many innovative dim sum products that cater to the tastes of young people. The flow of people is relatively large on holidays, but it is relatively quiet on weekdays.

Maybe it's because Shangxiajiu is a bit down, I feel like there are fewer customers than before, but the taste is still the same as I remember, or even better. I really like ginger milk, it's dense in the mouth, not too sweet, and the aftertaste is warm in the mouth and throat, but people who don't usually eat ginger may find the ginger taste a bit strong. Yangzhi Ganlu is also recommended, the taste is rich and the ingredients are sufficient. The children wanted to eat rice rolls, and they said it was very delicious. They said that the rice rolls they had after that were not as delicious as this one.
Let's cool down together in the summer | Check in at the intangible cultural heritage dessert shop near Yongqingfang
Walk from Shangxiajiu to Yongqingfang, and eat all the delicious food on the street! Passing by Nanxin Milk Dessert Expert🏡This Cantonese dessert is a city-level intangible cultural heritage protection unit, of course you have to eat Cantonese dessert🍨. Their production skills have been passed down through three generations of intangible cultural heritage, and it has a history of more than 80 years. It is really a series of snacks from childhood!
❤️ Recommended:
Yangzhi Ganlu Double Skin Milk, the newly upgraded Yuenanxin Guangzhou Sugar Water Cup is very convenient, and it is the first time I have seen a double skin milk that can be sipped. There are a lot of mango🥭, soft sago, and fragrant milk🥛. The ingredients are very sufficient!
Fragrant mango red bean grass jelly, like the taste of the crispy coconut on the surface, with mango🥭, red beans🫘, grass jelly, coconut milk🥥 underneath, rich in layers!
Beef brisket and offal pot, in addition to desserts🍮, Nanxin's snacks are also worth praising. The Cantonese sauce is very tasty, 🐮 beef brisket, offal, radish, lettuce🥬, the taste👅 is amazing!

Environment: The decoration design is quite good, and the dining lobby is quite quiet.
Service: The waiters are very observant and responsive, and provide timely service. Original Crystal Three Flavor Tofu: The tofu is very tender, served with soy sauce, bell pepper, and shrimp.
Ren and other flavors are quite comprehensive.
Signature pineapple buns: crispy on the outside and filled with pineapple inside.
Zhaoji Glacier Eggplant: The eggplant is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, not greasy at all, and has excellent oil control.
Good (from the time when the food is served to when the order is paid, there is almost no oil on the oil-absorbing paper)
Royal Goose Sausage with Soy Sauce: The goose intestines are crispy and the beans are very tender. Combining the two can relieve the greasiness.
Pan-fried and baked fish: The tender fish fillets are basically bone-free, so you can eat them with confidence. Added with ginger, onion and garlic.
The taste is okay
Barbecued pork buns: Not greasy, the barbecued pork taste is very good
[Environment] The decoration is European style, the layout is spacious and bright, and the environment is very good. [Service] The service is very good, warm, thoughtful and meticulous. [Taste] Signature crispy lychee chicken: the chicken is roasted very tender, the skin is crispy, and there is no greasy feeling. It is very delicious with the dipping sauce. Soy sauce goose intestines and fatty beef: the goose intestines are very crispy and tasty, and the fatty beef is very thin and delicious.

[Environment] The space is quite large, clean and tidy
[Service] The service attitude is OK, and they actively help
[Taste] Oyster omelette: a combination of crispy and fresh, eat it while it's hot, it's delicious!
Yellow eel casserole: very fresh, the meat is chewy and firm, and the taste is first-class!
I've always heard about it, and this time I finally had the chance to come
[Mint] Environment:
My friend booked a room, which can only be reserved before 12 noon. The room is quite large, and the river is outside the window, so it's quite comfortable to sit
[Service Bell] Service:
There will be waiters in the room who are always busy, serving dishes, adding water, etc.
We ordered a few jar pots and two clay pot rices. The jar pots are a bit heavy and the portions are small. Both "Classic Eel Shredded Rice" and "Emperor's Preserved Meat Clay Pot Rice" are good and delicious
Overall it's OK, I can try other dishes next time

You have to wait in line for more than half an hour to get the Minji clay pot rice on Beijing Road, but once you finish eating this clay pot rice, you will feel it is worth it.
I ordered the classic cured meat clay pot rice, the quality of the sausage and cured meat in it is very good, the rice is thin rice, each grain is distinct, and after eating it, you can also lift up a perfect golden rice crust!
The traditional fire soup is also a must-order, the taste is also very good.
The store is not big, with a big and obvious signboard, and it is a time-honored brand. The mushroom chicken rice is a great value, the portion is large, the chicken is tender, the rice crust is crispy and tasty, and the set meal also comes with a bowl of lotus root and pork bone soup, which is rich in flavor. Not bad, not bad
