The old store is located near Xietang Old Street, and its good location has brought considerable customer flow.
The crayfish in the restaurant are all from Xuyi, and there is an aunt who is in charge of the crayfish scrubbing process. The arriving crayfish are placed in a sink to spit out a certain amount of sediment, then washed and finally put back in clean water until the chef takes them out for cooking. Sheep shrimp will not have pre-treatment of cutting heads, removing shrimp stomachs, shrimp lines, and open backs.
In terms of crayfish specifications, there will be two kinds of sheep shrimp (special grade) and ordinary ones, which are 1 tael and 7~9 money. In keeping with industry tradition, the restaurant uses the top (premium) size for chilled, clear flavors, and there are only 20 servings per serving. Other flavors of crayfish are only available in regular sizes, but there are small, medium, and large portions of 2, 3, and 4 catties respectively.
The chef has nearly 20 years of experience, and the culinary level is guaranteed. The chef's signature dish is the top-notch chilled lobster, which is cooked and served in a secret soup sauce for at least 3 hours, with ice cubes to make the shrimp very firm. Although the combination of dry ice and ice cubes may be a little cheesy, the above-standard performance of the dish is still worthy of recognition.
Although thirteen spiced lobster and garlic lobster are all three-star dishes in the store, the former is still officially called a "must-order", but due to the way the whole shrimp is cooked, both dishes have the problem of not being tasteful.
There are many highlights in the dishes other than crayfish, such as the popular dish Sutai pork liver, although the plate is full of chili peppers, the aroma is more obvious than spicy, and with the softness of the pork liver, there is a sense of unfinished. The appearance of shrimp and meat wonton is mediocre, but the combination of meat filling and shrimp meat is just right, and with the price of 36 yuan, it is quite good and cheap.
The environment of the Sheep Shrimp Club is biased towards classical Chinese style design, but it is basically the same as that of an ordinary crayfish restaurant. The waiter's attitude is average, his hands and feet are quick, and the dining experience is acceptable.
