Transportation Located at No. 398, Jinling North Road, Changzhou (next to Changxinglou Hotel) When I first arrived in Changzhou, the driver who picked me up recommended this restaurant, saying that it was a restaurant that locals often go to. Environment On the first day in Changzhou, we stopped accepting numbers at 7 pm because it was full. I went there at 5 pm on the second day and there was already a queue. The restaurant is decorated in Chinese style, with wooden tables, chairs, screens, carved patterns, and green window screens. The details are well done, and the environment is beautiful. Because there are many people, the environment in the store is a little noisy. Dishes |Lao Ximen No. 1 Chicken^ The quantity is OK, a whole chicken, the taste is relatively soft and rotten, with a light sauce flavor, it is still recommended. | Sautéed Shrimp^ A famous dish in Changzhou, the first time I tried it, it turned out to be live shrimp, it was still alive and kicking when it was served, the quantity was not small, and the shrimp meat was very delicious after being marinated. I recommend trying it on the spot. |Qingguoxiang Shrimp Cake^ I heard that you must try shrimp cakes when you come to Changzhou. It turns out that vegetables, shrimp meat and batter are fried together. If you like fried food, you can try it. It is a little oily. |Dad's Braised Pork^ Too sweet, really too sweet, one bite is enough, and it is not all cubes of pork belly, there are many large pieces, I don’t know where the meat is, I don’t recommend it. |Dry pot organic cauliflower^ This is unexpected, very delicious, no spicy, recommended! Price Two adults and one child spent more than 200 yuan, the price is above average. Service Overall, the service level is not bad, the waiters are enthusiastic, polite, and the service is meticulous and thoughtful, but there are too many people.
I took my kids to visit the Changzhou China Dinosaur Park, and at night I came to Lao Ximen with my family. It can be said that I came from afar. The driver said on the way that this restaurant was very popular, and there were people queuing at the door every day. When I arrived, it was as expected. In order to eat this authentic Changzhou dish, I waited for almost an hour. The most famous [Lao Ximen No. 1 Chicken] was sold out. Fortunately, I tried [Changzhou Yuanbao Shrimp] [Squirrel Mandarin Fish] [Wooden Barrel Tofu Pudding] [Lianyang Black Rice] [Changzhou Xiaolongbao] In general, they are all good, basically above average. Among them, the wooden barrel tofu pudding and the xiaolongbao taste the best, and the others are also good. I recommend everyone to try them!

Pork with pickled mustard: fat but not greasy, lean but not woody, cooked to the right temperature, with good color, aroma and taste! Plum Spare Ribs: Plums are soaked in meat flavor, and spare ribs have the sweet and sour taste of plums. It tastes better with crispy bones, and it would be even better if there were more plums. Nanyuan Zao Sibao: edamame, shrimp, duck tongue, duck gizzard, peanuts, the presentation is beautiful and delicious, not salty. Onion fried eel slices: eel is particularly smooth and tender, one word~ fresh! Pumpkin vine: very pleasantly surprised, the selected part is very tender, fragrant and refreshing. West Lake water shield fish ball soup: the taste is OK, but the soup is a bit salty. Net oil roll: It should be Beijing's cream fried cake, but it is filled with bean filling. There is also a similar method in Northeast China, but the name is different. Friends who have eaten it in the north don't need to try it😁 The service is good, the decoration style is very Republican, but the space is a bit cramped and the table is small.
It is really a very exquisite restaurant. When you walk in, you feel relaxed and enjoy the visual experience. It is a reward for the taste. The dishes are very exquisite, the presentation is careful and has a sense of design, and the taste is also first-class.

The big fish head soup is delicious, full of ritual, there will be waiters pushing the fish head cart to open the seal, the service is OK
Every time you order fish head, you will get a small gift. The fish head is also numbered. It feels like eating the Guinness World Records.

It's really not right to write a review late at night [laughing and crying] Especially in this time of scarcity of supplies During the annual meeting before the New Year, seats must be reserved in advance. Dishes also need to be reserved in advance. [Mint] Environment: There is parking at the door, and there will be staff to arrange parking. I pay attention to whether the car is easy to park when I go to a place. This service is in place. The dishes are very exquisite, but the problem is that after eating, you will find that there is no frills at all, every one! Every one is delicious! I love cold dishes. That little lotus root, especially the pickled garlic, as a girl, can you imagine that I have been eating pickled garlic all the time [covering face] Highly recommended "Changzhou First Dish" is their signature dish, which needs to be reserved in advance. It is understandable to drink a few bowls of soup. "High calcium crispy shrimp" Believe me, eat the shrimp skin. You will find that it is fried so crispy that you don't need to spit out the shell. "Jinxiu Sashimi Platter" Highly recommend ice cream foie gras! The milky flavor is very strong!
The most popular Changzhou dish on the Internet, this restaurant is easy to find on Feilong Middle Road. The lamps on the exterior wall are shining, and the dishes are very exquisite. The plating is very gorgeous and exquisite, and the lychee salmon is amazing and exquisite.

I wanted to try some of Changzhou's specialties, so I first went to the "Detaiheng" hotel, which is known as a century-old restaurant. It was decorated in an antique style and had a good environment. Unfortunately, there was no "black fish tail". I quickly checked and found that there was another "Fuqianlou" less than 100 meters away, which was also a time-honored restaurant in Changzhou, so I went there happily. I had heard from friends before that the Changzhou dishes in "Fuqianlou" were particularly famous. When I came in, I saw that the private rooms were full. Some dishes could be ordered in small portions. The "crab butter" was particularly delicious. It was different from the "crab butter" in Suzhou. Suzhou used a whole crab in half, coated it with flour, and then mixed it with flour paste to cook it. Changzhou took out the crab roe and crab meat, and then mixed it into a paste to cook it. The taste was better and more delicious, and the ingredients were very sufficient. The "Red Soup with Tripe" is a classic, smooth, fragrant and tender dish, as if it could slide into your stomach by itself. It is especially unavailable in cities. The "Rock Sugar Pig's Pork Hoof" is made by covering the entire skin of the boneless pig's trotter, which looks very good. The "Black Carp Tail" is also very flavorful, but maybe my expectations were too high, so I felt that it was not as amazing as the other dishes.
The braised dishes at Fuqianlou are especially delicious, and my favorite is the sweet and sour spare ribs.

Detai Evergrande Hotel is a very old local restaurant serving Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine. It is understood that the restaurant has a history of one hundred years. Lion head, salted duck, steamed dumplings... each of them is the main feature of this restaurant.
The transportation is very convenient, the store address is easy to find, the equipment is very good, and the food is served quickly

This restaurant has been open for many years, and the business has always been so hot that you can't figure it out. There is no parking lot. The taste is always changing. The space is very narrow. How many people can sit and how many dishes can be placed? There is no room at all, but if the business is good, I will go there.
This restaurant is the most popular among the restaurants in this row. There are not many parking spaces, which is a disadvantage. Other things are OK. As for the dishes, the business is very good and the dishes are very fresh. The prices are a little higher than those outside. It is a good place for family gatherings.

Before coming to the Dinosaur Park, I searched online and found that this theme restaurant was a must-visit, so I came on the first night. First, it was very late and almost closed, and second, the clerk said that the set meal in the evening had to be reserved in advance, so I ordered a little before noon on the last day. In fact, the taste of several signature dishes is basically the same, the workmanship is relatively delicate, and the biggest feature is the decoration of the store. There is a dinosaur on the background wall, and the children like it very much
The taste is very good and suitable for adults and children. The decoration inside is also very interesting. The price is mid-range. It is mainly very clean and worth a try.
