In Shanghai, there are nearly 10 restaurants called "Xianghe". One of the most famous is the Xiang He Noodle Restaurant located on Dingxi Road.
Stepping into the store, the narrow store layout and the variety of table configurations can make diners have a good impression of it. Wrought iron ceilings, contrasting wall views and staggered pendants, combined with neatly arranged tray condiments on the tabletop, reflect the owner's meticulous layout of the store. However, the store is a little disappointed, this 20-year-old noodle restaurant was established and operated by people with disabilities who were awarded the municipal "38 Red Flag Bearer" in the early years, and made a name for itself with beef noodles and spicy pork noodles. The spicy pork noodles that once made the store famous were spicy and slightly bland, and the overall performance was flawless. Wontons, xiaolongbao, etc., are prepared in advance by the kitchen, so that when the dishes are served, the wontons break the skin and the dragon is shriveled occasionally, which is criticized by many diners.
In addition, the confusion of the service quality of the noodle restaurant also embarrassed some diners, and the situation of mistakenly adding side dishes, wrong orders and missing orders is confusing. The practice of picking up your own meals requires diners to travel back and forth in the store, adding to the eating barrier. As a high-quality noodle restaurant that was famous in the early years, the popularity of the restaurant did not plummet due to the word-of-mouth popularity accumulated in the early years, but it is difficult to see the market in the middle and evening markets, so it is not worth the long journey of diners. The consumer price in the store is low, taking spicy pork noodles as an example, it only costs 8 yuan, and you need to order and consume when you enter the door.
