Founded in May 2016, it has gained the attention of many diners and the media in just a few years, and its reputation is not inferior to the top brands on the list. Xiezun Garden currently has three branches in Shanghai, located on Shuicheng Road, Julu Road and Yunwushan Road, among which the Julu Road store is the earliest and most popular among diners.
The variety of dishes is excellent, with crab fillet, crab roe, crab paste, and more. If you are just a single customer with a full stomach, then golden soup noodles and crab roe and shrimp wontons will be a good choice. The surface of the golden soup noodles is covered with crab roe and crab meat, and there is also a kiwei shrimp and a broccoli as garnishes. The crab roe and crab meat do not smell fishy, and the noodles are stirred with chopsticks, and the noodles are fragrant and refreshing in the mouth. The only thing that can be picked on is that the crab roe and crab meat are mixed with some crushed shells, and diners need to be careful when enjoying them.
As a high-quality restaurant that specializes in crab feasts, it is natural that there are several big dishes that cannot be missing. Crab double, supreme double, stir-fried crab paste, and drunken crab are all good dishes used to feast guests. The ingredients used in the two dishes are different, namely crab fillet and crab meat, crab roe and crab paste, which are presented in the form of two dishes and a bowl of dipping vinegar. The crab fillet is dark in color, the crab meat is yellowish, and the overall taste is fresh and light, which is very suitable for diners who have a clear mouth. The texture of crab fillet is more tender and chewy than crab meat, and the advantage of crab meat is that it is more flavorful. The drunken crabs in Crab Zun Yuan are not small, the crab legs are strong, and the crab paste in the crab body is full. Although the process of dismantling the crab is troublesome, you can still taste the flavor of it: there is a trace of crab fish in the fresh crab with a hint of crab fish, the crab paste is rich in the mouth, and the crab meat is smooth.
Although the dining environment of Xiezun Garden is not high-end but it can also be regarded as chic, the restaurant on the first floor is not large, mainly receiving diners who eat noodles and wontons, and there is a small private garden at the back of the restaurant. On the second floor, there is the Crab Banquet Restaurant, with a unique pattern of ceiling lamps, paintings hanging on the walls, arched windows, and comfortable single sofa seating. It is worth mentioning that the crab garden has a villa area open to the outside world in the breeding base of Yangcheng Lake, providing leisure tourism services.
