[2025 Shanghai Restaurant] Travel Guide for Zhuang Shi Long Xing·Xie Fen Mian Dao(Nanjing East Road Store) (Updated Jun)

Speaking of Shanghai, it's Shanghai crab! So we went to a Chinese restaurant where we could eat it at a reasonable price. The crab sauce noodles, which are a popular item at the restaurant, are excellent! The sauce comes on a separate plate and you pour it over yourself to eat. The xiaolongbao and spring rolls were also excellent! The soup and side dishes come with the noodles. We also got free tea. 📍Zhuangshi Longxing Noodles Zhuangshi Longxing Noodles 　 441 Zhejiang Rd (M), Huangpu, Shanghai, China 200001 　 No. 441 Zhejiang Middle Road, Huangpu District, Shanghai Postcode: 200001 👣 10-15 minutes walk from People's Square Station ❤️🔥 I recommend the noodles with crab sauce! 💰 It was about 6,000 yen for the amount in the photo. The portion was just right for two women! As this is a popular restaurant, it is expected to be quite crowded during peak hours both in the afternoon and evening. When we went there just before 3pm, there was no wait time to enter! #ChineseFood2024 #100TravelStyle #ShanghaiTrip #ChineseFood #ShanghaiCrab

Tucked away in the bustling heart of Shanghai, Zhuang Shi Longxing (庄氏隆兴) isn’t just a restaurant — it’s a time capsule of old-school Shanghainese flavors with a rich, almost century-long legacy. Founded in 1930, this humble eatery has quietly become a go-to spot for crab lovers and local foodies looking for that nostalgic, umami punch that only real crab roe can bring. Think: golden crab oil, hand-pulled noodles, and soft, steaming xiaolongbao — all made with love and a bit of flair. 🥢 Where Heritage Meets Hunger You might stumble upon Zhuang Shi Longxing while wandering near Nanjing East Road or the Bund — unassuming from the outside, but once you walk in, you’ll smell the signature aroma of crab roe dancing with garlic and scallion. The atmosphere is casual, but the food tells a story — one of tradition, patience, and indulgence. Every dish is built around fresh ingredients, with their crab roe series taking center stage. The Golden Crab Roe Lo Mein (蟹粉黄金捞面) is a revelation — springy noodles drenched in silky, golden crab essence that clings to each strand like velvet. It’s messy. It’s rich. And it’s absolutely addictive. 🥟 Shanghai’s Answer to Soul Food Don’t leave without trying their Crab Roe Xiao Long Bao — pillowy dumplings filled with a luxurious broth that bursts in your mouth. Or go full comfort mode with a steaming bowl of Crab & Shrimp Wontons, wrapped delicately like edible origami. Even their South Fermented Red Bean Curd Pork Cutlet (南乳炸猪排), a side dish, demands attention — crispy, slightly sweet, deeply savory, and strangely unforgettable. This is the kind of food that lingers in your memory long after you’ve left the table. 💡 A Hidden Gem That Locals Whisper About What sets Zhuang Shi Longxing apart is its refusal to bow to modern trends. There’s no fusion, no gimmicks, no TikTok-famous plating. Just old-school Shanghai soul food served the way it always has been — with care, precision, and plenty of crab oil. And the best part? It’s surprisingly affordable. Whether you’re a solo traveler craving comfort or a couple looking for a casual bite, their multi-dish crab set meals are generously portioned and budget-friendly — some under ¥50 per person. ⸻ Pro Tip: Head to their Zhejiang Zhong Lu or Nanjing East Road locations for the most authentic experience, and avoid peak lunch hours — this place is no longer a secret among the locals. #springitinerary
