KUIYUANGUAN

[Environment]: The first floor is full of wooden square tables in the hall, and there are private rooms on the second floor. Many people come here, and the environment is average. It is an old store, so it is acceptable. [Service] Service: The attitude is quite good. I went there at around 1 pm. The chefs were on break, but the side dishes and noodles were still available. [Taste] Fried shrimp and eel noodles^The shrimps are fresh, and the eels are also fresh, without any earthy smell! | Fried eel noodles^There are fewer shrimps, but the taste is the same, and the fried eel shreds are just the right softness and hardness.

An old noodle restaurant in Hangzhou. The environment is nice. The customers who come here are all older people in Hangzhou, of course, there are also young people. The signature noodles are of course Pianerchuan and Shrimp and Eel Noodles. There are also many good cold dishes. I ordered a Pianerchuan and a vegetarian dish, and the waiter served them soon. I scooped a sip of soup to taste, and the taste was light. I picked up a piece of meat and it tasted a little old. There were not many pickled vegetables, just average. This bowl of noodles failed because of the meat. The waiter's attitude was very good. I asked for some pepper, and he immediately went to get it.

An old restaurant has its own charm. The restaurant environment is simple Chinese style. Many elderly people from Hangzhou come here to eat. The most classic fried shrimp and eel noodles and Pianerchuan taste OK, but they are not so expensive. The waiters here have some common problems of well-known old brands. They are very slow to serve the dishes, and they are more impatient than the customers when they are urged to serve the dishes.

When traveling in Hangzhou, I searched for nearby restaurants and saw that Kuiyuan Restaurant had good reviews, so I decided to eat there. When I was looking for the way, I asked a local, and he said that he had just come out of Kuiyuan Restaurant for dinner. It is state-owned, so you can eat there with confidence. Although the price is not cheap, it is not gutter oil. He also told us not to buy things randomly to prevent being cheated. Hangzhou people are really kind-hearted! My impression of Hangzhou soared instantly! The restaurant is located at the northwest corner of the intersection of Zhongshan Middle Road and Jiefang Road, and it is easy to find. When I went in, I saw that there were a lot of people eating, and I needed to wait for a seat. The side dishes were served quickly, but I waited for a long time for the noodles. The portions of Sanxian noodles and Pianerchuan were large, the ingredients were sufficient, and they were delicious and nutritious, and the soup was also very delicious. A small plate of fried rapeseed was very light. Although the noodles are not cheap, they are worth the money.

I wonder if locals often go here for breakfast. It's really not cheap, the portion is average, probably equivalent to 2 taels. I went for the fried eel noodles, the taste is a bit light, eels like spicy. The shrimp slices are okay. By the way, I paid homage to the legendary Jin Yu Man Tang, 588, who would order this?

I went here to eat fried shrimp eel noodles in the morning. I arrived after 8 o'clock. There were not many people. Except for two or three locals, tourists who came one after another were using mobile navigation. Overall: the environment is good, the eel is clean, the shrimp meat is chewy (probably fresh river shrimp), the noodles are chewy and smooth, and the waiter is not very enthusiastic (I called him twice before he came to take the order).

The restaurant is at the intersection, with clear signs. There are two floors, noodles and snacks on the first floor, and stir-fried dishes on the second floor. Free tea is provided, and you can pay in cash or by card. The food is served quickly, tastes good, and is well hygienic. The vinegar fish tastes light, which is a bit unsuitable for northerners. Yipin spicy and fresh, spicy enough, rich in content. Noodles are their specialty, taste good, and the side dishes are fresh. My baby likes it very much. The price of the dishes is acceptable

1. Located at No. 154 Jiefang Road, Shangcheng District, Hangzhou (near Zhongshan Middle Road), Kuiyuanguan Noodle Shop (abbreviated as Kuiyuanguan) was founded in Hangzhou in 1867 (the sixth year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty). The founder was from Anhui and his name cannot be verified. Although the store has changed owners several times, its business of operating noodles has remained unchanged. 2. Kuiyuanguan’s more distinctive dishes include fried shrimp and eel noodles and Pianerchuan. In the early 1980s, Cheng Shifa, a famous Chinese calligrapher and painter, came to "Kuiyuanguan" to taste it. After eating fried shrimp and eel noodles, he happily wrote the plaque "King of Jiangnan Noodles", which is still hanging at the entrance of the stairs in the store. In 1996, Mr. Jin Yong (Cha Liangyong), a famous Hong Kong martial arts novelist, left a good story in Hangzhou that he "visited Kuiyuanguan three times" within half a year. 3. Kuiyuan Restaurant’s noodles have their own characteristics: the best flour is used and made by a professional. The noodles must be cooked without getting mushy after being boiled in water, and they must be tough and smooth, with a chewy texture. The toppings are also very particular. (1) Shrimp and eel noodles are a famous specialty of Kuiyuan Restaurant. It is said that in the late Qing Dynasty, Hangzhou was densely covered with water networks and rich in eels. Most of the river shrimps were eaten by fish and were precious. In order to promote eels, fishermen used river shrimps as a side dish. Kuiyuan Restaurant made a dish with shrimp and eels: the shrimp and eel meat were stir-fried with oil and then drizzled with sesame oil, and then topped with red pepper, green onion or cucumber shreds. (2) Pianerchuan is also one of Kuiyuan Restaurant’s specialty noodles. It is said that it was inspired by Su Dongpo’s poem “No meat makes you thin, no bamboo makes you vulgar” when he was an official in Hangzhou. It uses fresh leg meat, fresh bamboo shoots, and green snow vegetable as raw materials. After cooking, it is delicious and delicious, making people salivate. After tasting it, someone sighed and said: "There are bamboo shoots and meat, not too thin or vulgar, and the snow vegetable noodles are a heavenly blessing." 4. The shrimp fried eel noodles in Kuiyuan Restaurant have a feature, that is, it indicates the amount of shrimp and eel in each bowl of noodles: 100 grams of cooked eel and 30 grams of shrimp (see photo 3). When cooking fried eel noodles, "three oils" are used for stir-frying, that is, first stir-fry with vegetable oil, then stir-fry with lard, and then stir-fry with sesame oil. In this way, the shrimp is tender and the eel is crispy, the aroma is striking, and the taste is delicious. 5. Ordered a bowl of the most famous shrimp fried eel noodles, 43 yuan per bowl, which is the most expensive bowl of noodles in the store. Since you are there, you must try the most distinctive noodles in the store. Although it is a little expensive, you still have to eat it. Pianerchuan noodles, 13 yuan a bowl, the topping ingredients include: 50 grams of sliced ​​meat, 25 grams of sliced ​​bamboo shoots, and 25 grams of pickled mustard greens. I didn’t eat it this time, I’ll try it next time.
