Located in Jiangxi Middle Road, Luya Restaurant is a medium-sized local restaurant. Along with Cairn Restaurant a block away, Lvya was once known as the "King of the Bund Value for Money", and the Cairn Restaurant has disappeared, while Rouya Restaurant has survived to this day.
Luya Restaurant is run by a pair of Yao sisters, and the two often do it themselves. The restaurant's products are generally low in sweetness and light in taste, which may be difficult to please the old Shanghai tongue. Among the cold dishes, there are several dishes that are made hot for cold dishes, such as Shanghai smoked fish, which is a small pomfret, the meat is more delicate and the sweetness is more low-key, but the smoked fish is very flavorful, warm on the table, and the taste is refreshing. Crystal dishes are fresh but not salty, crispy but not rotten, Sixi roasted bran, duck tongue in sauce, jellyfish mixed with cucumber, enoki mushroom bonizu, etc., are also relatively stable cold dishes.
Fried shrimp is one of the signature dishes of Luya, which is priced at two and made in two. The river shrimp is not big, the gestures are in place, and the sweetness is also not high, but the saltiness is sweet, crispy and tender. Pineapple rice is also a must-order on the table, the middle of the pineapple is hollowed out, and the glutinous rice is hoarded and fired, blessed with meat oil, the taste is solid, and the fragrance is glutinous. The special fish gluten is tender and smooth, the ingredients are refreshing, the crystal is thickened, and the taste is slightly inferior to Cuiting Restaurant. Yellow croaker wonton is similar to Ruifu Garden, the casserole is presented, there are yellow croaker and more than a dozen wontons in it, but the fish soup is not fresh enough, and the wonton skin and wonton filling are not brilliant compared with Ruifu Garden. The green and elegant braised pork accounts for most of the fat, the mouth is full of fat, and the heat is not in place. Grass head circles, eel shreds, sweet and sour short ribs and other classic local dishes, all heavy oil and sugar, each dish is not perfect, but there are also merits, good quality and low price. There are also a lot of green and elegant crab roe dishes, crab roe tofu, crab roe hoof tendons, crab roe dried fish shreds, etc. can be tried, among which the dried shreds of crab roe fish dried fish are replaced by fish meat, which is slippery and tender, and the crab paste and crab roe are full of sunk bottom, salty and fragrant.
The façade of the Lvya Restaurant is not conspicuous, and the neon sign walks up the stairs to the second floor, and enters the store through the corridor, the decoration is simple, but the space is not small, all of them are round tables, and can seat 4 to 8 people. The service is decent, the attitude and patience are average, and the ordering recommendation is guided. The restaurant business is hot, it can be full at five o'clock, waiting for a table during peak hours is inevitable, the number of private rooms is not much, and it is recommended to book as soon as possible if you want to have a private room.
