Lanxin Restaurant - Merchant Reviews

Jinxian Road is a well-known place where the local cuisine hides the dragon and crouching tiger, and there are many famous shops in a short street. In the old days, there were "four golden flowers" in the Benbang restaurant on Jinxian Road - Spring Restaurant, Lanxin Restaurant, Haijinzi and Maolong Restaurant, and later the most famous Spring Restaurant closed down, and the other three restaurants remained, and they all won the Michelin Bib Gourmand recommendation. At present, on Jinxian Road, Lanxin Restaurant is always the most popular one, and it is almost inevitable to wait in line when the meal arrives; While the rest of the restaurants are still vacant, Lyceum is still a lively scene.

It has been more than 30 years since Lanxin opened, and the owner, Grandma Tang, is still busy in the store, buying groceries by herself. Earlier, the store was in charge of Grandma Tang's daughter, and later her daughter set up her own door and opened her own local cuisine brand - Haijinzi at the other end of Jinxian Road. At present, Lyceum is in charge of the shop's Chef Cao, who has worked here for many years and has inherited all the kitchen experience of Grandma Tang's family, and the old shop maintains a very stable standard under the master's hands. The menu at Lyceum has not changed for 30 years, and the signature dishes are marked with red stars on the menu, such as sauced duck, braised pork, braised pomfret, fried shrimp, etc., which many regular customers know by heart, and there is almost no need for a menu.

The sauce duck in the cold dish is not to be missed, the sauce is thick, the duck meat is delicious, the meat is firm and tender, the food is refreshing and firm, and the appropriate sweetness of the duck meat adds aura, whether it is the appearance or taste, the sauce duck of Lanxin is a perfect interpretation of the four words of "thick oil red sauce" of this dish. As a popular star in the store, braised pork is naturally a must-order, lean meat is soft and soft, full of fat and fragrant, smooth and delicate in the mouth, sweet and salty are balanced, and the mouth is full of fragrance. Braised pork is 40 yuan a piece, at this price, Lyceum restaurant is almost the first class in Shanghai, but due to the cost, the selected pork belly parts are not perfect, and the shape is not proper enough.

Dry-roasted pomfret is also the restaurant's signature dish, which is brewed with wine mixed with chili sauce and grilled, covered with the body of the fish, and the meat has the aroma of wine. In addition to dry roasting, pomfret steamed is also delicious, the traditional aluminum pot steaming grid is produced, the heat is homely, the amount of ginger, rice wine, salt and so on is appropriate, the fish is fresh and sweet, tender and not fishy. Orchid Heart's pickled tuk fresh taste is modest, but the portions are quite sincere, with pork ribs, salted pork belly, knots of shutters and spring bamboo shoots, and the soup is salty and sweet, and the bamboo shoots are crispy and tender. The raw grass head is acceptable, the heavy oil locks the freshness and green of the grass head, the aroma is pressing, the wine taste is shallow, and the taste is oily. Stir-fried pork liver in sauce, fried shrimp in oil, and fried eel shreds are all more traditional local flavors, and the products are safe.

Lanxin is a standard alley restaurant, with a narrow door, 6 tables for four people on the first floor, individual customers need to share the table, the space is narrow, back to back, shoulder to wall. On the second floor, there are two large round tables in the attic, and the stairs up the stairs are extremely steep and narrow, making it difficult for female customers wearing high heels to walk an inch. The service of Lanxin Restaurant is more considerate, and the owner and the old lady are in good spirits, gentle and friendly. Restaurants often have to wait for a table, but the table is turned over quickly. After the market opens at 11 a.m. and 5 p.m., there will be a round of full seats soon, and it is recommended to arrive at the store at the card point, and you can take the number first 20 minutes in advance, and the number will not affect the entry.
