Evaluation of cost-effective gourmet restaurants in Hangzhou City

When you come to Hangzhou, of course you have to have a meal of local specialties. These few restaurants with high cost performance are worth a try.

Kuiyuan Hall

Kuiyuanguan Noodle Shop (abbreviated as Kuiyuanguan) was founded in 1867 (Qing Dynasty, Tongzhi Year 6) in Hangzhou by a person of Anhui origin, whose name is unknown. Although the ownership of the shop has changed several times, its business of selling noodles has remained unchanged, and it is renowned both domestically and internationally for its long history, large scale, and distinctive characteristics.

Refined cuisine in a hidden house

Fresh food with high cost performance. Can order sea urchin, salmon, foie gras, and sweet shrimp. Slightly higher prices.

Wandan traditional flavor

Popular, recommended are pineapple shortcakes and their signature nostalgic cakes.

Tofu made from pure soybeans

The main product is Dongjing Pure Tofu, which tastes especially delicious when paired with rice. It offers great value for money.

Hainanese chicken rice

Hainanese Chicken Rice is a famous Chinese dish from Hainan Province, which has become a national dish in Singapore and other Southeast Asian countries. The main ingredients are chicken and rice, prepared using a boiling method. You can also enjoy authentic Hainanese Chicken Rice at this restaurant.

Savory scallop vermicelli soup

Sometimes, when I crave for heavily-flavored soup, I can give it a four-star rating. However, this noodle dish lacks other merits besides the soup.

Yang's pan-fried bun

Tasty soup dumplings with rich broth, great value for money. Many shops available.

Zhi Wei Guan

The store is big and there are many dishes. It's worth trying.

Vegan Boundless

Da Shu Wu Jie is a vegetarian restaurant known for its delicious, nutritious, and beautifully presented dishes. However, it can be quite expensive for students. In the Chinese vegetarian food community, there is a saying called "Nan Fu, Bei Xie, Zhong Song", which refers to Fu Chang from Shenzhen, Xie Yiyuan from Beijing, and Song Yuanbo from Shanghai. They are all big names in the vegetarian and food industry. Da Shu Wu Jie was founded by Song Yuanbo, who also established "Zao Zi Shu Vegetarian Restaurant" prior to that.
