总店就在清净寺的西面，走过就看到灶上炖着的砂锅。就餐的区域有三个，3号比较大；扫码点餐，一共也就6个菜，我们4个人，全部都点了。鸭子是特色，味道不错；面拖的小蟹松脆可口；没有尝过的话就来吃一顿吧！
Stan Ginger Duck should be one of the must-eats in Quanzhou!
Every time I pass by, there is a long queue,
but the number is called very quickly. But don't be too particular about the dining environment!
Most of the people this time share the table!
The staff served the dishes very quickly. You can serve the rice yourself!
The ginger duck tastes good, a little salty.
The blanched lettuce is really delicious, super delicious with rice!

A popular online restaurant, so I came to try it. I saw many tourists dragging their suitcases. There were still many people at mealtime. The environment in the store is average, it is noisy with many people, and the waiters are very busy, so the experience is not good. The store does not serve tea, but a drink like rice porridge, paired with fish skin peanuts that I haven't eaten for a long time. It is easy to get full after eating too much [snickering] When you come to Quanzhou, you must try oyster omelette, Taiwanese style, with some sweet potato powder in the eggs and oysters? In this way, the oysters are tender and not dry, and the sweet and spicy sauce is matched, which has a different feeling. But compared with a Taiwanese snack shop I tried in Xiamen, I feel that the taste is better, and this place can only be said to be ordinary. The scallop king is a la carte, different from what you usually eat, with fresh seaweed steamed in it, which is more delicious. The shacha seafood pot is really different from what you imagine. It is mainly based on pig offal, and there are no two pieces of seafood floating. Even the name of this dish is a bit confusing. The special yellow pepper baked sea fish is really good, a must-order [naughty] The fish is tender, the yellow pepper is not choking at all, the spiciness is moderate, and it is fresh. The small elephant trunk clams are also a la carte, made into shredded radish soup and served in a cup. The soup is a bit sweet and fresh, and the elephant trunk clams are very fresh. It is a must-order [strong] This is a shop I will patronize in the future, at least the quality of the food is good.
This restaurant is the first on the must-eat list of reviews. I always wanted to give it a try. On the last day at noon, we decided to come and try it.
It is very popular. We got a number at around 12 noon. There were more than 40 tables in front. We arrived at around 1 o'clock and waited for more than ten minutes before being seated. Please note that they are closed after lunch, so it is recommended to get a number earlier.
We ordered a few special dishes. The overall evaluation is not bad. There is nothing bad. The average is above the standard.
Xiamen Hong Kong Seafood Soy Sauce Water This is recommended! It is different from the soy sauce water I have eaten before. It is not steamed, but simmered. It is seasoned with fig slices and dried radish. The meat fragrance and the freshness of the yellow croaker are mixed together and it is very delicious. In the end, I can't wait to add some rice to mix it. I regret not adding squid or something.
Yongchun Vinegar Braised Pig's Feet It looks thick and red sauce, but it tastes less sweet and has the fragrance of vinegar, so the pig's feet are not very greasy.
Original native pig soup/example This is a dish I have never eaten before. The soup is made of steamed lean pork. The soup is very refreshing and tastes fresh and sweet. The pork inside is very tough and I can't eat it.
Chicken soup with noodles/example I personally like it very much. The chicken soup base is not rice noodles but thin noodles. After a while, the noodles will absorb the soup. They are soft and delicious. There are also various small seafoods such as oysters in it. It is really fresh. But it is a bit greasy at the end. The chicken soup is still a bit oily.
Red mushroom chicken soup stewed with salted tofu is average. The tofu is not flavorful. It is not as delicious as the tofu I had in Putian before.
Crispy first water seaweed bean chops There are bean curd and seaweed inside. It is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, but there is nothing special. I can only say that it is worth a try.
They charge tea fees, but they serve rice milk, which is quite special.
The service is average. I guess the waiter was too busy and didn't remind us when we ordered. There are soy products in our three dishes, which is actually a bit repetitive.
The environment of this restaurant is quite good in Quanzhou. I have eaten at many small restaurants and old restaurants before. I still recommend tourists to try it. However, it is said that it has opened in Shanghai. I can try it after a while to see if the taste has changed.

"Ginger Duck" is old ginger and ducklings. The duck meat is tender and boneless, and the ginger flavor is prominent. A whole duck in a pot, fresh and hot, a magic weapon to dispel cold!
After 20 years, I came to Quanzhou again, and it has become a tourist destination for Internet celebrities to check in. The hotel I stayed in was just not far from this food street. I came to find food on the first night and fell in love with this old store in the middle of the street (there is also a new store at the intersection with a better environment)
The temperature dropped in late spring, and for dinner, a duck fried with vegetables and rice, 2 cold stomachs were full. I have eaten a lot of ginger ducks in Lingnan, and the tastes vary slightly from place to place. I am quite satisfied with this pot tonight. The vegetables are fried in a lot of oil, and my stomach that has caught a cold is a bit greasy.
The duck meat is so tender that delicious juices flow out when you bite it. The braised ginger duck is coated with sugar to enhance the color, and the skin is golden and shiny. The meat is firmer and full of ginger aroma!

I came here after seeing various recommendations, and the overall feeling is OK.
The decoration style of the red brick house is similar to that of local houses.
The Yongchun Vinegar Pig's Trotters seem to be the most distinctive, and they seem to use smoked vinegar from the north.
Quanzhou may have more people from the north, and has retained many northern eating habits, such as Yuanxiaoyuan, which is shaken like Beijing.
The pressure cooker mustard rice is also OK, but the oyster omelet feels a bit too oily, and the overall taste is not as smooth as Zhangzhou Jianguo, and the rice noodle is average.
Minnan-style dishes, Minnan-style series, take the elderly out for a walk to taste delicious food during the holidays. The elderly have a lighter taste, which is suitable for the Minnan-style series.
Shijinji (Family Banquet)
Address: Kaiyuan Shengshi Plaza, 3rd floor, directly opposite the elevator.
Very homely, spacious LCD TV, allowing you to enjoy food while watching TV, spacious and bright dining environment, comfortable and simple.
[Bamboo fungus mackerel soup]
The fish soup is refreshing and delicious, the fish is tender and refreshing, the bamboo fungus is crisp, very good, suitable for Minnan flavor.
[Pressure cooker mustard rice]
The pressure cooker presses out the rice fragrance, the mustard fragrance blends with it, each grain is crystal clear, and two bowls are not enough.
[Yuhua stone pot beef]
The black pepper is super fragrant, the beef is tender and refreshing, especially with rice, and the children love it.
[Crab meat, fish and mackerel baby cabbage]
The baby cabbage absorbs the flavor of seafood, especially delicious, fragrant and tender.
[Coconut Crispy Cod]
Remember to dip it in the side dishes. The cod is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Dipping it in the dishes will make the cod taste even better.
[Ginger Fried Quail]
This dish is my favorite. Even the ginger is not spared. It is super fragrant. The quail is fried crispy, fragrant and tender. I can't stop eating one after another, and the ginger is also swept away.

The service is almost non-existent. The gizzards are not cleaned properly. The vegetables are saltier than the ginger duck. The waiter is the king here. The "five points" is just to let more people see it. The ginger duck has increased from 55 to 130. It is getting more expensive and worse. There are fewer and fewer duck offal.
It is a well-known popular delicacy, famous for its affordability. The specialty ginger duck is authentic, delicious and tasty, with tender and tasty duck meat and a delicate texture. Many people come here for its reputation. The store is clean and tidy, so give it a thumbs up, it's very good.

A treasure antique restaurant in a hidden alley near Quanzhou West Street. The old house is grand and elegant. From the layout of the yard and the photos on display, it can be seen that it was the location where the sister who participated in the filming of the sister who took part in the wind and waves was filmed. It is indeed a popular place. The dishes have strong southern Fujian characteristics, good taste, good ingredients, large portions, relatively fair prices, comprehensive service, qualified Mandarin skills of the waiter, and a perfect dining experience.
The environment is very good, it was renovated from an old house, the dishes are delicious, very delicate, and the portions are not small. The service staff are polite, very considerate and have a sense of boundaries.

I went to Quanzhou for a day trip with my friends. When we arrived, it was already time for dinner. We decided to have a meal before going out to play
[Environment] The two-story store is very large and has a fairy-like atmosphere. There are small bridges and flowing water everywhere, and there are a large group of koi in the water
The hand towel is soaked in jasmine tea and has a jasmine fragrance
"CHIC Pao Fan" The weather has started to cool down recently It's so satisfying to have a bowl of hot rice soup after warming it up. The hot rice soup is poured into the fried pot, and the rice grains begin to swell. There are a lot of ingredients in it, such as shrimp, scallops, and celery. It's delicious. "Lion City Cereal Crayfish" I never thought that crayfish could be paired with cereal. The crayfish is sprinkled with delicious cereal, sweet, and the crayfish is very chewy. "Mustard Sauce Angus Beef" Angus beef is very tender and chewy. It is delicious even without sauce. It is delicious with yellow mustard sauce (｢･ω･)｢Hey

Ruancuo Minnan Cuisine is one of the famous restaurants in Quanzhou for Minnan cuisine. The environment here is very good, and it is a standard big hotel. The taste of the dishes is good, but maybe I am not used to eating Minnan cuisine, so I don’t feel very surprised. In terms of price, it is really not expensive for such a big hotel. If you come to Quanzhou for the first time, it is still necessary to try such Minnan cuisine.
The environment and service of Southeast Hotel are very good, and the dishes are very Minnan style. There is a multi-story parking lot next to it, and you can park for free, which is very good.
Ruancuo Ginger Duck. Eating ginger duck in winter feels warm and nourishing. It is cooked in a casserole, and the duck meat is stewed very soft and easy to eat.
Minnan Beef Soup. Minnan-style beef soup, with beef, beef tendon, and beef balls, the content is also very rich.
Garlic-flavored swimming shrimp. I like this dish very much. The shrimp is fried crispy and delicious, and it is very satisfying to eat one at a time.
Minnan fried three-piece. Three kinds of Minnan-style fried food. The way to have them all is to put them together.
Fish roll steamed crab and mustard dragon gall fish are two must-order dishes for banquets. Fresh and delicious.
Others include Yongchun taro noodles, Quanzhou mixed vegetable soup, Anxi salted bamboo shoots buns, etc., which are also special dishes of the merchants, all of which are very good.

As a tourist, you probably won't be able to find this place, it's very hidden, but once you walk in, you'll be amazed. The white Minnan double fried is crispy and delicious. My friend especially likes this dish and says it's better than the other restaurants he's eaten before.
The place is very hidden and not on any rankings. I was brought here by a friend who is a native of Quanzhou.
The boiled shrimp is very fresh and the sauce is just right.
The fermented bean curd pork feet is a bit heavy, and the thick layer of oil at the end is a bit scary.
The three dishes are all fried food, which is too oily. The crispy pork is really delicious, but the other two are too hard to eat.
The earthworm jelly is my favorite Fujian dish, and it must be cleaned.
The seafood noodles are super super large! Be careful if there are less than four people, you will definitely not be able to finish it! !
The fried clam is average.
It is windy in the lobby at night and a bit cold.
