Gongshu District

"This is the upmarket flagship of an F&B group that has been active on Hangzhou’s dining scene for over two decades. It specialises in refined cuisine that encompasses all the representative flavours of Zhejiang province. Their house-made dim sum is hugely popular, including deep-fried stinky tofu stuffed with radish and Chinese celery from Shaoxing, tofu buns from Jiande, bamboo shoot shao mai from Suichang and tofu pancake from Changshan." - Michelin Inspector

"This shop may lack a snazzy decor, and nobody gets a table to themselves, but there are always queues eager to be cooked for by the self-proclaimed "noodle king". The signature tomato sauce noodles with scrambled eggs are tangy and appetising, best enjoyed with a sprinkle of pork cracklings. All made-to-order, the delicious toppings are served piping hot – try the deep-fried carp. Those with a big appetite can even get extra noodles for free." - Michelin Inspector
