Dayouxuan is one of the more established high-end trendy restaurants in Shanghai, and its popularity is quite weak. Cai Hao, the founder of Cai Hao, who is also the founder of Dayouxuan, served as the head chef of Dayouxuan, and has formulated strict control over the process of dish production. Although Cai Hao resigned from Dayouxuan Fine Chinese Restaurant in July 2013, the restaurant still maintains a high level of industry competitiveness.
"There are no signature dishes here, because every dish is a signature." After traveling around the world, the founder Cai Hao highly admired minimalism, and paid more attention to the taste, nutrition, texture and other details of the dishes than the formal plating. Therefore, Cai Hao set a set of management models for the kitchen back then, which was supervised by the head chef. Today's chef Dayouxuan is in charge of Chaoshan chefs with more than 20 years of experience in the industry, and he has a wealth of cooking experience. Under the leadership of the head chef, each member of the kitchen staff has their own role to play, so that each dish becomes a work of balance in their hearts.
The most classic dish of Da Youxuan is the crispy pork ginseng with abalone sauce. As we all know, the first impression of traditional sea cucumbers is that they are tender and soft and sticky teeth, and Dayouxuan gave a different answer. The official selection of Australian black pig ginseng, boiled with abalone juice, the layered taste has made many sea cucumber lovers praise it. Frozen fish is also known as fish rice in Chaoshan people, the fish body is firm and the taste is one of its characteristics, it should be noted that the meaning of fish rice itself is to use fish as rice, not to stuff rice into fish. One of the signature Teochew cuisine signs, the frozen eastern star grouper, Dayouxuan also has a relatively good performance, but some diners will be dissatisfied with the slightly fishy smell of the ingredients. In addition, the soup snails, brine goose head, braised goose intestines, etc. are all very good dishes.
Dayouxuan is located in a single-family villa, the implementation of the membership system, the price of the membership card is 300,000, 500,000, 1 million and other grades, which is matched by a high-end environment and service. The artworks on display in the restaurant range from antiques to contemporary art, and even the sofas, fireplaces and other items are purchased by the owner from the auction. There is no hall, only three private rooms, which are more private and charge 10% service charge. In order to pursue the best dining experience, it is recommended that diners make reservations in advance and negotiate with the staff for the menu. Diners who come directly to the venue are likely to encounter a situation where there is a shortage of waiting for a table and their favorite ingredients. Dayouxuan's service staff have a friendly attitude and can take the initiative to give pertinent suggestions when diners order, and their professional quality is worthy of recognition. The villa has its own parking space, and diners can also choose to have a receptionist help with parking.
