Tao Tao Ju - Business Reviews

The history of Tao Tao Ju can be traced back to the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, which was founded in 1880 and is one of the oldest restaurants in Guangzhou. Tao Tao Ju is known as the "moon cake master", and its Tao Tao Ju won the "Golden Tripod Award" and the title of "China Famous Brand Moon Cake" last month. In 1993, it was awarded the title of "China Time-honored Brand" by the Ministry of Commerce and Trade of China, and in 2005, it became a registered and protected cultural relics unit in Guangzhou and a national five-diamond restaurant. Tao Tao Ju was once a place for literati and ink writers to gather, Shi Jiang Kong Yin Hanlin, Huang Ci Bo Bagong and so on are all guests of Tao Tao Ju; Its gold lacquer signboard "Tao Tao Ju" three words is Kang Youwei's handwriting, due to the failure of the Restoration, the owner will remove Kang Youwei's payment on the signboard. Not only that, celebrities such as Lu Xun, Ba Jin, Chen Yanyun, and Liu Haisu have also come here to drink tea. As early as 2000, Lucky Building, a local enterprise in Guangzhou, has leased the Tao Taoju trademark and operated at the original site of the 10th Fu Road; In 2015, Yin Jiangbo, the founder of Shandong Laojia, won the right to operate the Tao Tao Ju brand, and opened 5 new Tao Tao Ju stores in Guangzhou, and another one in Xiamen. There is no connection between the old restaurant and the new restaurant that has opened in recent years, but the latter has inherited the classic dishes of the old restaurant. The level of dishes in Tao Taoju's tenth old store is stable, and the basic dishes of Cantonese cuisine are available, and some spicy dishes have been added in order to adapt to the taste of the public. In terms of the richness of dishes and the strength of hard dishes, the old restaurant is obviously superior. Xin Tao Tao Ju has done a good job in the revitalization of the time-honored brand, adopting modern methods to manage the business, attracting a large number of young diners. The head chef Li Fasheng is from Hong Kong and has more than 40 years of cooking experience, and the restaurant launches a batch of new dishes every two months. The restaurant has a display table or a transparent kitchen window where you can observe the chef's cooking skills. It also adopts a data-based analysis platform system, which makes the operation of the branch clear at a glance, and launches a 10% rebate activity for member consumption to increase customer stickiness. In terms of dishes, Tao Tao Ju retains traditional famous dishes while innovating. There are many innovative dishes, focusing on stir-fried hot dishes, the dishes are more miniature in size, and the shape and presentation are more chic. Signature dishes include chilled squirrel, mango and lemon chicken, crispy eel balls with osmanthus flowers, crispy tofu and winter melon cup, while the refreshment Kazhen cheese baked glutinous rice chicken, shark fin dumplings with imperial sauce, and fried sausage with golden silk scallops are also popular. Tao Tao Ju Wanguo Branch also added a new Lao Huo Liang Tang Ming stall, which is different from the soup on the other branches and is more in line with Lao Guang's eating habits. In terms of environment, Tao Tao Ju 10th Fu Store is a typical Cantonese restaurant decoration, with a height of 4 floors, red walls and green tiles, carved beams and embroidered columns, retaining the essence of traditional Lingnan architecture. The new pottery houses are located in shopping malls with large traffic and are more exquisitely decorated. The store is restored according to the ratio of 1:1 with the real scene of Xiguan, decorated with stepped bricks, stained glass, and Manchurian windows, and the rose gold hollow flower board is used as a barrier partition, and the environment is gilded and elegant. Its Chinese gold shop is the most ornately decorated, with the largest room that can accommodate 18 people, equipped with a separate toilet and tea table, and Nongfu Spring for making tea; There is also a small banquet hall that can accommodate up to 100 people. In contrast, the Beauty Plaza store is a little cramped, with no private rooms, and the largest corner round table can only seat 10 people, and there are fewer dishes. In terms of service, Tao Tao Ju Tenth Fu Store is facing the problem of aging talents, and the service is also a little lazy, which is also a problem that needs to be solved urgently by the time-honored brand. Most of the staff of Xintao Taoju are young people, and the service is more thoughtful and caring, and the attitude is better. Taotaoju 10th Fu Road Store is located in the bustling Shangxiajiu Street, parking is inconvenient, business is booming during morning tea time, the dinner market occasionally has to wait for a seat, and a 10% service charge will be charged on Saturdays and Sundays. The new Tao Tao Ju meal is also booming, and it is recommended to go to the store in advance to get the number.
