[2025 Shanghai Restaurant] Travel Guide for Da Hu Chun (Middle Sichuan Road) (Updated Feb)

#favouriteitinerary This time in Shanghai, I finally got to try Xiaolongbao (soup dumplings)! I ordered the crab roe Xiaolongbao, which is unique to Shanghai. The fried pork chop was just average. We went to Lai Lai Xiaolong in Jing’an District. On another day, we tried Shanghai’s traditional Shengjianbao (pan-fried soup buns) at Da Hu Chun, and on the last day, we had breakfast at Xiao Yang Shengjian, which was incredibly juicy! We also had Shanghai’s famous Scallion Oil Noodles, which came with a free extra serving of noodles. But for us girls, one bowl was already more than enough! I chose their signature and famous Clam & Pork Liver Noodles. Even though I usually don’t eat pork liver, I found it quite enjoyable—delicious! 😋 China is truly a food paradise. 😍😍😍

Da Huchun's storefront and interior decoration are antique, and the afternoon business is still very good. The skin of the big pot spring is fermented with gravy, so although the skin is thick and there is no juice, the taste of the gravy invades the skin. I believe everyone who likes to eat meat and bun hides. In addition to the taste of eating as a child, Dahuchun also added new flavors and new roasting methods. There are also a variety of choices for fresh meat, shrimp and clams. [Specially made small pot fried] The special small pot is cooked on the iron plate, and the skin is crispy and fragrant. There are ten raw fried, four fresh meat, four shrimps, and two clams. The shrimp has a whole fresh shrimp in it, and the taste is Q-bomb. You must eat hot, you will be a little embarrassed when you are cold. No appointment is required.

Shanghai Dahuchun (flagship store), a cheap restaurant promoted by Michelin cuisine, the hand-made specialty fried omelet in the store is very popular. The sauted squash is crispy and covered with large pieces of meatballs. Most of them are filled with fresh meat, which is sweet. Bite down, the soup is hot, the meatballs are firm and taste good. Shrimp and chaos and thousands of fan soup are slightly salty. Address: No. 136, Sichuan Middle Road, very close to the Bund.
