LAOXIMEN

Transportation Located at No. 398, Jinling North Road, Changzhou (next to Changxinglou Hotel) When I first arrived in Changzhou, the driver who picked me up recommended this restaurant, saying that it was a restaurant that locals often go to. Environment On the first day in Changzhou, we stopped accepting numbers at 7 pm because it was full. I went there at 5 pm on the second day and there was already a queue. The restaurant is decorated in Chinese style, with wooden tables, chairs, screens, carved patterns, and green window screens. The details are well done, and the environment is beautiful. Because there are many people, the environment in the store is a little noisy. Dishes |Lao Ximen No. 1 Chicken^ The quantity is OK, a whole chicken, the taste is relatively soft and rotten, with a light sauce flavor, it is still recommended. | Sautéed Shrimp^ A famous dish in Changzhou, the first time I tried it, it turned out to be live shrimp, it was still alive and kicking when it was served, the quantity was not small, and the shrimp meat was very delicious after being marinated. I recommend trying it on the spot. |Qingguoxiang Shrimp Cake^ I heard that you must try shrimp cakes when you come to Changzhou. It turns out that vegetables, shrimp meat and batter are fried together. If you like fried food, you can try it. It is a little oily. |Dad's Braised Pork^ Too sweet, really too sweet, one bite is enough, and it is not all cubes of pork belly, there are many large pieces, I don’t know where the meat is, I don’t recommend it. |Dry pot organic cauliflower^ This is unexpected, very delicious, no spicy, recommended! Price Two adults and one child spent more than 200 yuan, the price is above average. Service Overall, the service level is not bad, the waiters are enthusiastic, polite, and the service is meticulous and thoughtful, but there are too many people.

I took my kids to visit the Changzhou China Dinosaur Park, and at night I came to Lao Ximen with my family. It can be said that I came from afar. The driver said on the way that this restaurant was very popular, and there were people queuing at the door every day. When I arrived, it was as expected. In order to eat this authentic Changzhou dish, I waited for almost an hour. The most famous [Lao Ximen No. 1 Chicken] was sold out. Fortunately, I tried [Changzhou Yuanbao Shrimp] [Squirrel Mandarin Fish] [Wooden Barrel Tofu Pudding] [Lianyang Black Rice] [Changzhou Xiaolongbao] In general, they are all good, basically above average. Among them, the wooden barrel tofu pudding and the xiaolongbao taste the best, and the others are also good. I recommend everyone to try them!

Very satisfied, the service is very good, because we are two adults and one child, we don't order much, the dishes are very large, and the price-performance ratio is very high, suitable for a family to eat. It is very suitable for children's taste, they ate a lot, and the cakes were given before the meal, the sweet taste is very good, especially the Yuanbao shrimp, for those from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, they like this sweet but not greasy taste very much, delicious!

This restaurant has really good reviews online, so many tourists come here because of its reputation. I don't know if it's because of the May Day holiday that there are no so-called locals patronizing. Of course, what attracts everyone is the taste! This evaluation mainly focuses on the taste, and will also include some environment and service. After reading it, everyone can decide whether to experience such an Internet celebrity restaurant. [Taste] Ordered two special dishes, Lao Ximen No. 1 Chicken and Wooden Barrel Tofu. Let's talk about this "No. 1 Chicken" that is said to be unavailable if you come late. First of all, the chicken is still relatively tender, and there is no special taste. Eating the meat alone has no taste, and you need to dip it in the soup below, but the soup tastes very salty. It's said to be a whole chicken, but in fact only one leg is eaten. You can experience it yourself. There is a pig's trotter below, which has been stuck to the bottom of the pot. Because the chicken is too salty when dipped in the soup, the pig's trotter at the bottom is not tried. Then there is wooden barrel tofu, which is a bucket of tofu pudding. After eating the super salty No. 1 Chicken, I think the tofu pudding tastes acceptable. But when I saw that this bucket cost 78 yuan, I thought its taste was also average. In addition, we ordered one meat dish and one vegetable dish, both of which tasted salty. [Environment] The restaurant environment decoration was well thought out, but the dining environment was really not very good. There were a lot of people dining, and there was almost no space between the tables, so the environment was noisy. The dishes were very salty and the surroundings were very noisy. We started waiting for a seat at 4:30 and waited for 1 hour. We ate for 20 minutes, ate a little and left in a hurry. [Service] At 4 o'clock, some guests who came here were waiting at the door. We asked the front desk waiter if we needed to take a number. We were told not to take a number and to eat directly when we came. But when we came again at 4:30, there was no seat. We waited for about an hour. In the middle, we were told to order first, and we could place an order directly after the seats were arranged. There was no menu when ordering, and the price of the dishes would not be told. You can ask the price yourself when ordering. Because it is said that the table needs to be turned over 5/6 times a night, the dishes are all cooked in advance, so the serving speed is also very fast, but you can experience the taste yourself. In short, this further confirmed my idea, and Internet celebrity restaurants should be carefully selected

Time is like spiced braised beef, which, after being cooked through the vicissitudes of life, presents the rich five flavors of life.
