Founded in 2017, Jinyu Mantang Chaozhou Night Snack Restaurant attracted the attention of many diners with its old-school Guangdong aesthetic decoration style at the beginning of its opening. Although the rental fee in Shanghai's Xintiandi area is high, the prices of the dishes are very competitive, and many diners often eat to their heart's content, and the unit price is not low.
Although the name of the restaurant has the word "night snack restaurant", the opening hours are only until 23:30, which is somewhat unworthy of the name.
At the beginning of the store's opening, the restaurant was full of gold and jade with a folded menu, which complemented the "nouveau riche" environment surrounded by golden dragons. It has now been changed to a common picture menu, which is a little regrettable for some diners who like an old-school aesthetic.
The restaurant's signature dish is the Chao-style frozen red crab, which is a classic cold dish. The official claim is that the flower crabs are all airlifted and supplied in limited quantities every day. Although the bigger the crab is not the better, the red crab selected by Jinyu Mantang weighs less than 1.5 catties, and the individual is small, and the overall is not outstanding. The dishes are charged according to the current price of flower crabs, and a catty is generally more than 400 yuan, and diners can consider it.
Other dishes such as Dongxing Patch Porridge, Goose Head with Black Mane in Brine, and Goose Noodles with Marinade all show the traditional characteristics of Chaoshan, although they are not outstanding, but the cost performance is very outstanding, and diners may wish to try it.
The restaurant has 3 private rooms, each of which can accommodate up to 10 people. Although the environment is average, the popular Jinyu Mantang has set a minimum consumption target of 2800, but fortunately there is no service fee. The service quality of the clerk is average and the attitude is not enthusiastic.
