The simple room may be a bit dated, but the incredible smell of its beef blood curd soup is irresistibly enticing. Its signature soup is the classic comfort food of the landlocked county; chunks of silken blood curd and melty white radish nestle in a savoury broth seasoned with dried chillies. Their beef offal noodle soup is equally famous: the offal is meticulously crafted and the flavourful broth clings nicely to the springy noodles.

A mezzanine adds visual depth to the venue and the boat-shaped pendant light sports an oceanic theme. The owner, who used to sell seafood, cherry-picks each ingredient. Natural flavours always come first in his score with an emphasis on razor-sharp doneness and seasoning. Try his red-braised squid with a snappy bite and heady aromas. Steamed Sanmen mud crab with soy sauce and scallion oil boasts firm meat and buttery roe.

This simple shop near Donghu Lake has built up a loyal following over the past 20 years, thanks to its authentic local eats. The signature item is wok-fried mochi with egg, carrot and beansprouts – the sticky rice cake, crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, is elevated by the smoky wok hei. Maixia noodle soup is a staple dish in Linhai, and theirs is springy in texture, with a broth imbued with deep flavour thanks to clams and dried shrimps.

老川皇以地道川菜闻名,食材新鲜度普遍获好评,如鱼片嫩滑无骨、海鲜分量足。招牌辣子鸡香脆入味,金银馒头外脆内软搭配炼奶颇受欢迎。部分食客指出烧烤类菜品仅重辣味而失鲜,且宵夜时段环境较嘈杂。服务方面,座位充足无需久候,但个别菜品如凉粉易断、黑糖糍粑外皮偏硬。整体而言,餐厅性价比高,适合喜爱麻辣风味及追求实惠的食客,但需注意部分菜品火候与口感差异。
适合喜爱麻辣川菜、追求高性价比及无需长时间等位的食客。

For 10-plus years, this simple shop has focused on one item – bianshi dumplings that are steamed, deep-fried, pan-fried or served in soup. Each dumpling is generously filled with ground pork, mashed tofu and water bamboo shoots before being folded by hand into an ingot shape with its paper-thin wrapper draping like butterfly wings. Try their premium version of ginger juice egg custard; the ground pork and walnuts add lovely textures to the sweet treat.

For over 20 years, this longstanding restaurant has been serving a unique noodle dish from Linhai City – mai xia. Wheat flour batter is scraped into a boiling broth to make soft, chewy noodles that curl like shrimps. Try their version with ‘three delicacies’: marinated beef shank, clams and shrimps, alongside fried egg and shredded radish. Whether it’s for breakfast or a late-night supper, a bowl of delicious mai xia always hits the spot.

The traditional wood-rich façade befits the historical charm of this ancient street. The interior is equally enchanting with latticed windows and grey bricks. A spinoff of the Xin Rong Ji group, this simple joint focuses on local snacks and home-style favourites. Dim sum like open-faced ‘chui yuan’ dumplings and ‘bian shi’ wontons are cooked to order. A sprinkling of brown sugar and walnuts adds depth to the velvety ginger juice egg custard.

It’s a blink-and-you-miss-it shop - but what it lacks in frontage, it makes up for in spatial efficiency and food quality. Their seafood, in particular, never disappoints. Ask the owner-chef to recommend the best of the season and how it should be cooked. The exact type spins with the season, but pan-fried crab with a pinch of sugar is always a treat. Sautéed pork liver with wild rice stems impresses with spot-on doneness and tenderness.
