Red Armor (Tianyaoqiao Road Store) - Business Reviews

Red Armor is one of Shanghai's largest crayfish restaurant chains, and its bar-style style has attracted many young diners, and business has been booming, and the famous actor Sun Honglei has also visited the door.

Consistent with most crayfish restaurants in Shanghai, Red Armor inspected a number of breeding bases, integrated logistics costs and other factors, and finally chose to cooperate with Jiangsu Xinghua breeding base, and the crayfish were regularly and quantitatively fresh to each store. The crayfish that arrive at the store will go through steps such as salt water blistering, ultrasonic shrimp washing machine, manual inspection and removal, and some crayfish that are not clean enough will be manually brushed by red armor. Attentive diners will see the slogan "Crayfish, Sheep Scorpion" at the entrance of each branch, which is also Red Armor's seasonal strategy - crayfish in summer and sheep scorpion in winter. For the common problems of the industry, Red Armor cannot give a solution either.

There are two specifications of red armor crayfish, the ordinary one is about 8 yuan, and the best one is about 1 tael. Even during the peak crayfish season, the best specifications are often sold out early, so diners in need should arrive early.

The Supreme Chilled Lobster is the most recommended, but Red Armor is generally only available at the evening market. The processing process of drunken chilled lobster is more special. The brewing time is also longer, so it is served throughout the day. Diners who can't get to taste the supreme chilled lobster can consider trying the drunken chilled lobster, which has won over many people with its hint of wine. Challenge hemp crayfish and supreme oil stewed lobster are the spiciest flavors, and the shrimp meat has a deep flavor, although the texture of the shrimp meat is slightly loose, but it is still worth trying. The best (large-size) only has three flavors: garlic, steamed, and thirteen spices, and its performance is basically passable.

The décor of each red armor is highly consistent, and the blue color palette may have reduced the appetite of some visitors, and the environment has become a controversial indicator. The waiters in the restaurant are generally young, a little wooden but thankfully friendly. In general, Red Armor is an industry benchmark in Shanghai.
