I fell in love with Xiaoyuanlou from the first time I ate there. Every year when I come to Suzhou, I must come to Xiaoyuanlou. The dishes are still so delicious after all these years. Suzhou cuisine is basically the same as our Shanghai cuisine, with thick oil, red sauce and sweet taste. I absolutely love it. I have brought friends here to eat many times and they all said it was delicious. I will come again next time.

[Environment] I went to the Humble Administrator's Garden at noon. I searched online and found that this restaurant is a Suzhou specialty. I must try it. [Taste] The drunken crab is a little different from the one in the north, but the crab roe is full, the taste is good, and the price is not expensive. It's delicious! [Service] The service level is a little bit poor, and the restaurant environment is a bit messy!

This is a restaurant on East Street. I came here to try it after being introduced by the hotel staff. It was only 11:15 when we arrived, but the restaurant was already full. We almost had to queue. As there were only two of us eating, we could not try too many dishes, but the dishes we ordered tasted really good, and most importantly, the saltiness was moderate. The price was also reasonable and not expensive. It did not have the greasy and salty feeling that Chinese food has. It is worth recommending to everyone as a must-try restaurant when visiting Suzhou.

I found this restaurant on Ctrip. It's worth the trip. No matter whether it's meat or vegetables, the food at Xiaoyuanlou is super delicious. I fell in love with Suzhou cuisine. The price is very fair and the portion is large. If you order too much, the store will remind you. The service is super good. It's always full every day. It's super delicious. I like it very much.

It is on the list of must-eats in Suzhou. I was afraid of waiting for a table. I arrived at the restaurant at 4:30. The small table was full. I was willing to share a table with two strangers. I didn't wait for a few minutes and there was no table. There were already many friends waiting at the door. The boss lady personally went to coordinate and arrange the guests. Squirrel mandarin fish is a signature dish of Suzhou cuisine. Guests at every table basically must order it, and we are no exception. The boss lady is really generous. The mandarin fish is very big, and the flower knife is very deep. It looks good and easy to taste after frying. Oil-soaked broad beans are delicious, so delicious. It can compete with Kong Yiji's fennel beans. The bean meat is powdery, and I must order it next time. Stir-fried shrimps, large quantity, and the shrimps are elastic. There are many guests and many waiters. They respond to requests and turn over tables quickly. Must praise.

Xiaoyuanlou is a time-honored Suzhou restaurant with several branches in the city center. After 7pm, people still line up to get their food, which shows its popularity. The shredded eel and braised catfish are very cost-effective, the noodles are fragrant, and the salad beef has a high click rate. There are also many Suzhou-style dishes that make Suzhou locals wait patiently, so don't miss it.
