Xiangyuan is an old Hunan restaurant in Hangzhou that has been open for 15 years, and compared with the above-mentioned shops that have abandoned the traditional Hunan restaurant environment such as simplicity and noise, Xiangyuan is just an old-school restaurant that still stays in the old-fashioned environment. After the closure of the Bauhinia North Road store, Xiangyuan currently has three branches in Hangzhou, among which the Xixi store has improved its environment after the redecoration, but it is still at the level of a standard fast food restaurant, and it is difficult to reach the grade. However, because its Hunan cuisine is relatively authentic, old and affordable, it still has a certain amount in the hearts of Hangzhou diners.

Xiangyuan's main dish offers a variety of fish. Among them, the signature fish head king uses a one-pound bighead carp head, accompanied by secret chopped pepper and wild pepper, and the fish head is steamed to be more flavorful. The price is only 88 yuan, although it is not as good as the level of the boutique Hunan restaurant, but it is cost-effective, and you can still taste the relatively authentic Hunan fish head flavor. In addition, there are four fish dishes, such as large pot fish, a product of cross-river fish, diving fish, spicy stinky osmanthus fish, etc., in addition to the stinky osmanthus fish, all of which are made of grass carp, with lettuce, bean sprouts and other seasonal side dishes, through different cooking techniques such as stewing, frying, and simmering to bring various flavors.

Xiangyuan's homemade official tofu is worth recommending, the secret sauce fried minced meat is surrounded by the tofu, and the tofu itself is just soft and hard, half? Immersed in red oil, the spicy taste is comfortable and not abrupt, and it is very attractive when it is steaming, and it is a good dish to eat. For those who prefer fresh and spicy flavors, we recommend trying the stir-fried yellow beef. The tender yellow beef is marinated in a secret seasoning, and then stir-fried with Beijing green onions. The yellow beef out of the pot does not have the flavor of cow and is full of spiciness. There is also a dry pot potato chips suitable for the taste of the public, the potatoes are crisp and fragrant, but they do not absorb oil, there is no greasy feeling to eat, the inside is soft and moist, the spicy and fresh fragrance is faintly sweet, and there is a hint of vinegar fragrance, which is very delicious. In addition, there are also rich dishes such as fried bacon, spicy shrimp, and bandit pork liver provided by farmers, and the price is about 30 yuan a piece, which is the first choice for economic benefits.

Among the three existing stores, the Huanglong store is the most popular, with an outdated interior and a private room. Gudun store is the smallest and the most humble, but it is still popular because of the authentic dishes and affordable prices. In general, the overall level of Xixi store is relatively high, and it is located on the first floor of the shopping mall complex, which can meet the basic service response. However, most of the diners who come to Xiangyuan to dine are here for affordable dishes, and they do not have much demand for the environment and service.
