Xu Kee's private kitchen is close to the Shanghai Expo Urban Best Practices Area, built on the street, and the entrance is quite low-key. After a few years of opening, the popularity has gradually increased, and the residents and office workers in the neighborhood are regulars.

Xu Ji takes the route of the public restaurant, and you can sit down and order; If you want, you can also book a private dinner or have the chef cook at your home. The founder, Chef Xu, received professional culinary training when he was young, and then spent 20 years learning in the kitchens of major hotels and five-star hotels. For a few years after its opening, he was the executive chef, and he also brought out other chefs in the restaurant. When you enter the store, you can see the fully transparent glass kitchen at the door, where the chefs and assistant chefs are busy in an orderly manner, cutting and washing and hyping up the actions skillfully and neatly. Walking into the dining area is a different scene, the wooden tables and chairs are neatly arranged, the simplicity reveals the Shanghainese style, the food is full of popularity, and the lively atmosphere is more down-to-earth than most private restaurants. Maybe it's too popular, but the open space next to the front desk and the narrow passage at the back door are full of tables and are slightly crowded.

Open the thick menu and see, the dishes are not at all as down-to-earth as the store looks, the dishes are mainly Benbang, Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine, the variety is very rich, the presentation is exquisite, and the grade is not lost.

Chef Xu is good at creative local dishes, from the most well-known eighteen-second fried shrimp, it can be seen that he has a lot of experience in the heat, the river shrimp burst out of the plate without oil, the shell is crispy but not burnt, the color is bright, one bite at a time, even without spitting out the shell; The plating is also very three-dimensional, not only for the treasures on the table, but also into the ordinary dining table, the return rate is super high. If you're treated, don't forget to shake the braised pork and the scholarly Longjing beef. The braised pork is very well juicy, the lean meat is not firewood, the fat meat is not greasy, and the taste is excellent. Scholarly Longjing beef wins by plating, the beef slices are packed in a carton, tied with ribbons, the surface is covered with a piece of tea, and the three words "taste among them" are handwritten on one side of the tray, which is very ancient rhyme in the south of the Yangtze River, it is an excellent choice for banquets, and the five-spiced beef is dipped in the secret sauce, which tastes good.

The kitchen is good at boiling, stir-frying, and frying, and most of the dishes will not disappoint. However, they have heavier sugar, braised pork, secret grilled ribs, grass head circles, and smoked fish in the magic capital are all sweet. Perhaps the young chef's skills are not solid enough, and dishes such as shredded eel and Babao spicy sauce taste salty. Dregs and wine brewing is also a major feature of its house, dregs bowl head chicken, old dregs braised sugar eggs, choking river shrimp, drunken paste crab, dregs three kinds of dishes taste good, wine stuffed hairtail fish is especially worth a try, add mash lees and stir-fry to collect the juice, the faint wine fragrance infiltrates into the fish, just enter not sweet and salty, maybe not used to it, after eating before you can experience, with wine to enhance freshness, than adding sugar is better.

In order to attract lunch business, Xu Kee's private kitchen has added a single set meal, with nearly 40 kinds of noodle soup, rice set, Cantonese claypot rice, etc., and the products are uneven. The signature yellow croaker noodles, Xu Kee wontons, and fried pork cutlet set are all very good, while the claypot rice series is extremely inauthentic, which is very different from the local products in Guangdong, and the taste is very poor, so it is not recommended to try. In order to facilitate ordering, the menu offers nearly 10 set meals for two, most of which are of daily dining level and are not suitable for those who travel to taste them.

Xu Kee's private kitchen performed well, but the on-site management was a big disappointment. The waiters are unprofessional, the reception is casual, the response is not timely, and even the foreman is in a hurry. The bathroom is not cleaned in time, and the experience is poor. If you don't mind service and on-site experience, it's not bad to bring relatives and friends over for dinner, and the private room is relatively more comfortable.
