Shanghai's bullfrog noodle craze is largely due to Haring Noodle Restaurant. Claimed to have originated in 1987, Haring Noodle Restaurant specializes in bullfrog topping noodles and rice, and currently has 12 directly operated stores in various districts of Shanghai, and its strength should not be underestimated.

Walking into the main store on South Guangxi Road, diners can see posters all over the walls, such as "XX Old Store", "XX Promotion" and related notices are full of eyeballs, and the store also takes the trouble to explain the food distribution strategy during the peak dining period, which makes people quite interesting to watch. Although the store looks like a "fly restaurant", the contrast between the staff in the store is surprising in their baseball uniforms and caps. Haring bullfrog noodles are the main signature of the store, the bullfrog is made of two bullfrogs, which are poured on the noodles after chopping, with thick thickening and pouring sauce, the soup base is made of pepper, cooking wine, starch and a large amount of monosodium glutamate with green chili pepper seasoning, the taste is thick and spicy. The large use of monosodium glutamate makes the noodle soup quite salty and greasy, so it is recommended that diners order carbonated drinks to accompany the meal, so that the drink and the noodle soup collide with a fresh and stimulating feeling; In terms of noodles, Haring chose to use alkaline water thick noodles, which have a thick taste and a slight chewiness, which is easy to produce a feeling of satiety. If you're looking for something else, try pickled pepper bullfrog or spicy bullfrog noodles, which are equally large and satisfying.

Thanks to the strict service and management system, the service and product quality of all stores in Haring are relatively stable. The restaurant also provides a channel for diners to monitor and report, and if they find that the staff has cut corners or served the side dishes inadequately, they can call to report it. Eagle-eyed customers can also find the store's supervision system notice for kitchen staff from the kitchen, and crack down on chefs mixing bullfrog noodles and bullfrog rice. Due to the large number of Haling stores, the environment of each store is quite different, and some branches have a narrow and cramped environment, and the appearance is dirty, so diners who are sensitive to the dining environment are recommended to choose Zhejiang Middle Road, Hankou Road and Lancun Road and other branches to eat.

Due to the large volume and strong flavor of the food in the store, customers who have specific taste and portion needs of the food should explain to the staff in advance, and diners who need paper towels should also ask the front desk staff in advance. The store provides group purchase packages on the corresponding online platform, which is cost-effective and recommended to be purchased and used. The consumer price in the store is slightly higher, taking Haring bullfrog noodles as an example, a bowl is 31 yuan, and you need to order and consume when you enter the door. In addition, if you want to try other styles of bullfrog noodles, Fugui Noodle Restaurant, known as the originator of Shanghai bullfrog noodles, is also an excellent choice.
