Binzan is one of the earliest crayfish online celebrity stores in Shenzhen, and since its establishment in 2014, it has opened 4 stores (including 1 takeaway store) in Shenzhen. With a relatively moderate price and stable dish performance, Binzan crayfish has maintained a high competitiveness in the industry.
Binzan crayfish pursues Jiangsu's cooking methods and tries to be on par with Jiangsu in terms of raw materials. Crayfish basically come from crayfish farms in Jiangsu. The crayfish arrive fresh every day, and after being delivered to the store, they are screened and cleaned. Binzan uses the cleaning method of manual hand washing, but during the cleaning process, there is no operation such as removing the shrimp stomach and shrimp line. The official explanation is that this is the "authentic practice" of crayfish, and operations such as removing the shrimp line will make the shrimp die directly, resulting in problems such as loose meat and no shrimp yellow in the cooked shrimp. It depends on the preference of the diner. Crayfish with open back, if you want to maintain a high Q elastic taste, the cooking difficulty coefficient is indeed high. Since there is no special planning for the crayfish off-season, Binzan crayfish has an earlier holiday than other friends.
Binzan officials have been emphasizing that their crayfish are larger. Binzan divides his crayfish into two types: medium and large, and the name has the meaning of steadily suppressing the opponent's head. In the peak season, medium-sized crayfish are basically at the level of 8 yuan (40g), while large crayfish are about 1 tael and 2 yuan (60g). When the crayfish season is not in season, the weight of shrimp decreases significantly. There are three types of portions: small, medium, and large, but large shrimp should be at least the starting point of medium serving.
Binzan's signature dish is fragrant crayfish, which is a must-order dish for almost every diner. It's actually about the same as spicy crayfish. Since it is slightly spicy, diners who don't eat spicy food need to be careful. Diners who pursue spicy taste naturally want to try spicy crayfish, which has a significant increase in spiciness and is sweet and delicious. Diners who don't know how to eat spicy food can consider ordering crayfish in garlic soup. Pan-fried black tofu is a favorite of every repeat customer, and it is inexpensive, tender and delicious.
Binzan crayfish is more of a people-friendly route, and the environment of each store is quite similar to a food stall, with a strong market atmosphere. Xiangmihu store is located in a well-known food area in Shenzhen, and there are many table locations, which is worth visiting. Binzan advertises that the benefits of eating crayfish include aphrodisiac and kidney tonification, milk and raw milk, blood stasis and detoxification, etc., which is very attractive to Chinese medicine enthusiasts. The waiters in the store are friendly and basically on-call, which is worth affirming.
