Noodles was founded by Jin Hongwei, the owner of Hangzhou Xiaonanguo and Steaming Youth, who studied under Wu Guoping, the founder of his grandmother's family. Born in a family of restaurants and with a restless heart, the catering brand founded by Jin Hongwei is based on the "old foundation" taste of Hangzhou, while emphasizing innovation. Taking noodles as an example, there are not only traditional noodles such as popping kidney flowers and pork liver, but also innovative signature signs, such as tomato and beef brisket noodles with fresh and sour sauce.
"Lane" is commonly used as "do" in Hangzhou, and the store is located in the alley, so it is logical to name it "Lane Noodles". The noodles are not as dirty as most traditional noodle restaurants, and the narrow bunks are divided into operation rooms, dining areas and kitchens, which are small in size, but have the brightness and cleanliness of a new-style restaurant.
Although it is claimed to be handmade, there is still a big gap between the noodles and some old noodle restaurants, the alkaline water has a strong taste, and the taste is too soft, which does not look like raw noodles in the pot. In terms of toppings, it may be because of the taste of foreign tourists, and the kidney flower and pork liver are more ripe and do not have a trace of blood, which also leads to an old taste. In addition, the large ribs here are very unstable, and the pork ribs are prone to firewood once the heat is over, and with the sauce that is not very flavorful, the texture of the whole large rib is as tasteless as white chicken breast. The mixing of noodles is more guaranteed, and the method of thick oil red sauce and stir-fry covers up the shortcomings of the noodles themselves, and also makes the aroma of the toppings more prominent.
The price of noodles, which is only one street away from West Lake, is naturally not low, and the 20 yuan piece of noodles is also less than that of other noodle restaurants. However, its unique location and clean and tidy environment make it an entry-level recommendation for friends who have just arrived in Hangzhou.
