Shu Daxia is also an authentic Sichuan-style hot pot from Chengdu, although it entered Hangzhou late, and the first store only opened in 2017, but it has developed rapidly, and has opened 4 branches in less than a year, and the number of stores is more than Da Longyi.
Like Xiaolongkan and Dalongyi, the bottom of Shu Daxia's pot has not been improved according to regional tastes, and only partially reduced in spiciness. The bottom of its red soup pot is mainly made of Henan Mantianxing pepper and Hanyuan pepper, Henan Mantianxing pepper spicy, fragrant, color is more comprehensive, not as spicy as Chaotian pepper, and there is no fresh red pepper fragrance of Erjingtiao, so it will not be as spicy as Dalongyi's spicy choking taste; Hanyuan peppercorns are large and oily, and although the hemp flavor is mellow, it is not as strong as Jinyang green peppercorns and Jiangjin nine-leaf green peppercorns, so it will not make people feel excessive pepper numbness. According to the spiciness, the bottom of the red soup pot is divided into three types: slightly spicy, medium spicy and Chengdu traditional original flavor, whether it is a local customer or a customer who likes spicy food, you can order the taste that you are satisfied with.
One handsome nine will be the treasure of Shu Daxia Town Store, of which "one handsome" is the signature cauliflower thousand bones. Hua Qian Gu is made of one-finger ribs, marinated in a secret sauce for 4 hours, and then boiled in a hot pot for 12 minutes, when eaten, spicy, tender and juicy, and the taste is completely different from that of roasted or stewed. The glacier goose intestine is the third of the nine generals, the pink goose intestine is placed in a transparent crystal bowl, and there is a lot of dry ice under the bowl, and the whole dish is white and smoky, and the fairy spirit is lingering, which can especially stimulate the appetite. The big knife liver slice is the seventh general, the light and thin pork liver slice is hung with a bamboo pole, the shape is like the back flag of the military general in the opera, and it is dipped in a layer of dried chili noodles when eating, which is tender and spicy. Aluminum foil roasted crispy pork is the ninth general, the fried crispy meat is wrapped in aluminum foil in the middle, and the waiter will ignite the aluminum foil to heat it after serving, although the taste of the crispy meat inside is not much different from other hot pot restaurants, but the heating method maintains the temperature of the crispy meat well, which is suitable for diners who love fried crispy meat. Compared with Xiaolongkan and Dalongyi, Shu Daxia's self-service seasoning is much richer, in addition to the basic garlic, green onions, coriander, all kinds of sesame sauce, sand tea sauce, beef sauce, Lao Gan Ma, hoisin sauce are readily available, which is more acceptable to local customers in Hangzhou.
Each store of Shu Daxia is a unified Jianghu style, with martial arts characters painted in many places on the wall, and the interior of the store is dominated by scimitars and weapons, which are flamboyant and bold, which is very close to the name of the store. The lobby is spacious, bright and airy, with wide spacing between tables, and the blanching time of several signature dishes is posted on the corner of each table, making it more comfortable to eat. However, the restaurant does not have enough training for service personnel, and there is a large gap between the levels of different service personnel, some of whom are friendly and courteous, and the service is proactive, while some personnel are more perfunctory and do not respond in a timely manner. Among the four branches, Lakeside has the largest customer flow, with a waiting time of 60-90 minutes during peak hours.
