Pingjiangsong
Jiangsu Cuisine · ★ Michelin
¥¥¥¥
Tucked away in the Pingjiang historic quarter, this restaurant was remodelled from an ancient mansion encompassing the quintessence of classical Suzhou garden and architecture. Similarly, the season-driven menu is based heavily on Suzhou culinary traditions, enlivened by modern twists. Mantis shrimps with soft roe are dressed in fermented rice lees marinade and topped with caviar. The duck soup with ham and fox nuts presents rich flavours and deep umami.

Ya Ba Sheng Jian (Wenjia An)
Dim Sum · Bib

This shop has been selling pan-fried buns for over two decades. Now with a pair of branches in town, it is a household name beloved by locals. The queue may be off-putting, but rest assured that the buns – with fluffy dough, crispy bases and soupy fillings – are well worth the wait. The pork version may be hugely popular, but the vegan buns with Indian aster and dried tofu are incredibly aromatic. Try the taro balls in osmanthus sweet soup, too.

The simple, cosy room focuses on straightforward, deftly crafted Jiangsu classics. With dad and son in the kitchen and mum in charge of the front of house, it has built a loyal fanbase over the past 30+ years thanks to warm service, good food and budget-friendly prices. The braised pork belly with vegetarian chicken in claypot is the must-try: the soy-based faux meat soaks up the drool-worthy juices of the melty pork.

Wei Ji Ao Mian Guan (East Baita Road)
Noodles · Bib
¥
This shop is famed for its Aozao noodle soup, a Kunshan speciality and designated as intangible cultural heritage. Just a stone's throw from Pingjiang historic quarter, the restaurant is clean and cosy, albeit not particularly spacious. The noodles, cooked al dente, come with your choice of one or two toppings, such as braised pork, duck or fried eel strips – the most popular and loaded with umami. The red broth is flavoursome and sweet.

Wan Tai Xing
Noodles · Bib
¥
A whitewashed two-storey building with a tiled roof is home to this reincarnation of a noodle stall founded in 1931. The delightfully ornate interior pays homage to traditional Chinese decor. Suzhou noodles are either served in a soy-based or clear broth, or tossed in sauces. There are tens of toppings to choose from – if in doubt, go for any of the popular combinations. The shrimp trio with shrimps, their roe and tomalley is too good to be missed.

A Cheng
Jiangsu Cuisine · Bib
¥¥
With a red façade and a cheeky sculpture of a ‘squirrel’ mandarin fish by its door, you cannot fail but notice A Cheng. Since 1999, it has been famous not only for fish, but also Suzhou classics like sweet and sour pork ribs – tender pork in a tangy sauce with spot-on acidity. The sautéed white assortment delivers varied textures with pork tripe, chicken, bamboo shoot and shrimps, while the peppery kick brings out the umami.

Tong De Xing (Jiayu Fang)
Noodles · Bib

Red columns, tiled roofs and lanterns evoke the quintessence of Chinese architecture. On the menu, Suzhou noodles take centre stage, with Fengzhen-style pork noodles being a highlight (available May-Oct only). The white broth is loaded with umami and homemade wine lees impart depth and sweetness. In winter, try the braised pork noodles in a soy-based broth, and sautéed matsutake mushroom. Round off your meal with osmanthus fox nut sweet soup.

This Cantonese chef champions a fusion menu that melds Suzhou and Cantonese influences, ranging from timeless classics to painstaking heritage recipes. Nanjing-style braised goose is steeped in an aromatic marinade with over 30 types of herbs for hours. The mandarin fillet golden chrysanthemum fish is meticulously sliced and deep-fried. Everything is made to order so expect to wait. A limited number of private rooms require booking well in advance.
