Good meal (a friend of mine said it’s the best Hangzhou cuisine in HK, which is why many people come visit I think). 75 years of history is respectable but the price is just unreasonable (probably why only 2 tables dinning on a Friday night).
1500 for a hairy crab is a ripoff. Be aware of the price of anything before ordering. There are better Hangzhou cuisines in HK of half the price.

This is absolutely super expensive, but this is a rare venue to enjoy a Hangzhou meal in a restaurant with over 50 years historical decor.

The signature dish - Crab Noodle is super sweet and delicious, with plenty of crab meat and paste. Even the noodles are very great with excellent texture!

The stewed shrimp, is also highly recommended as well as the dessert with wine based dumpling, which filled with fresh fruit sweet flavour!

Two words - not worth it. (Sorry that’s three words)

Service -

first off, I called and made a booking. Then they said they don’t do reservation upon arrival. So did I talk to a ghost or something?

Second, there was a waitress keep pushing us on food but not knowing all the details. Doesn’t know how much the dish is, doesn’t know how big the dish is. And doesn’t give you personal space!

Food -

Minimum charge is 700/head. We were 3 people. Got a little bit of money to play with

Of course we ordered the crab roe noodle - 428. If you are not hungry, order for a mouthful for a taste. Carb roe sauce does not taste particular fresh, does it taste like fresh hairy crab at all. They suggest to serve with vinegar which I did try, basically the vinegar overpowered the sauce. Suggest not to do that

Apprêtiez combo with 3 sorts-

Average, you can get in any Shanghai restaurant. The price wasn’t on the menu , the waitress needed to ask, seems really fishy about not havent price on the menu.

Deep fried frog leg-
It’s 88/leg. Generally I don’t eat them, but they did it very good. Very juicy and indeed a big one.

Then some side veggie and deep fried tofu skin. Average.

One of the best crab roe restaurant I’ve ever been to in HK. The restaurant is quite old and decorations are in the 1980-ish style. But the crab roe is really delicious and served in large portion. Definitely the place to go for Chinese hairy crab 大闸蟹 lovers (but be prepared for the high price, since hairy crab is an expensive delicacy)

All dishes were delicious. As good as our childhood memories! Just sad that they ran out of the favourite wine dumpling dessert by the time we were done.
