Traveling to Shandong, this stop came to Qingdao. We called a taxi to take us around the city and came to the old street. The driver told us that this restaurant is a time-honored Shandong cuisine restaurant, the oldest Shandong cuisine restaurant in Qingdao. We came here specifically to try it at noon.
Environment: The location of the restaurant has been here since the Qing Dynasty, but it has been expanded now. The first floor is the cashier, and the second floor and above are the restaurants. There is no particularly large hall, only private rooms that accommodate several tables.
[Service bell] Service: There are not many waiters. An older waiter is in charge of a large private room. He is busy with our tables alone. He is quick and skillful in serving the guests.
"Stir-fried kidney flower" One of the signature dishes here, kidney flower is also pork kidney flower, which has a bit of smell, but it is fried very fragrant, the taste is strong, and black fungus is added to absorb the sauce.
"Fat intestine" When it comes to Shandong cuisine, everyone will definitely think of nine-turn large intestine. I also ordered this dish for its reputation. The pig intestines are very plump, and fat oozes out when you bite them. Despite this, it is still okay to eat a few more pieces, and it doesn't feel too greasy.
"Fried Live Conch" There are not many conchs, and the ones that look similar in color are bamboo shoots, which look like conchs when mixed together. It is thickly starched and tastes a bit thick. The taste is not bad, and it feels like the lightest dish in Shandong cuisine.
"Signature Dumplings" are large in size and full of ingredients. The dumplings are steamed, not fried, so they won't get angry. The sauce is just ordinary dumpling sauce, unlike our Guangdong sauce, which contains vinegar and garlic.

Qingdao is known for the saying "Chunhelou came first, then Qingdao Port". As the most famous Shandong cuisine restaurant in Qingdao, Chunhelou was founded in the 17th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty. It has a history of more than 100 years and is a veritable century-old brand. The signature dish of the restaurant is crispy chicken, which is a must-order for every table. The skin is really crispy and the meat is fresh and fragrant! The three-fresh steamed dumplings are so delicious! Drink the pure draft beer of Qingdao Beer, and the beautiful Qingdao is in your mouth
A local restaurant with a century-old history, it is famous for its authentic Shandong cuisine. The dishes are famous for their seafood. The reserved fried conch, whole hydrangea fish, dragon and phoenix legs and other famous Shandong dishes are light, fresh and full of color, flavor and flavor. In addition, the recommended nine-turn large intestine is loved by many customers. The pigs are farm-raised. It's made without any impurities or hormones, and is cooked with the store's secret seasonings, giving it a full taste. The restaurant has a beautiful environment, the wooden tables and chairs give it an antique feel, and the service attitude is also very good. It is a great dining place.
A century-old Shandong cuisine restaurant. As the saying goes, the culture of a place can be reflected in its food. Shandong people are honest. Today, let's see the honesty of Shandong cuisine. The following is borrowed from the omnipotent Baidu. Shandong cuisine has the following five characteristics: 1. It is mainly salty and fresh, highlighting the original flavor, good at using onions, ginger and garlic, and original flavor; 2. It is good at "stir-frying" and pays attention to fire power; 3. It is good at making soup and pays attention to the use of soup; 4. It has unique ways to cook seafood, and is a master at cooking marine delicacies and small seafood; 5. It is plump and affordable, with a grand style. The Nine-Turn Large Intestine really embodies the stir-frying skills of Shandong cuisine. The stewed large intestine is soft but the skin is very crispy and chewy. The different tastes are intertwined, and the full sense of reality comes over you. Although I know it is a high-calorie food, I still finish it all. The crispy chicken and the chicken are fried quite crispy. The only memory is that I ordered the local specialty green onion dumplings for dumplings. Oh, I can only say that I am not used to the taste. I still prefer Spanish mackerel dumplings. When I arrived in Qingdao, of course I drank Qingdao draft beer, but it was a pity that it was not packed in plastic bags. It is said that the Qingdao beer made in Germany more than 100 years ago is even better. What would that taste like?
Sorry, I am allergic to alcohol and can only eat safe food in Qingdao. Because I have to catch the train and it is raining, I chose the steamed dumplings at Chunhelou. It is next to the main store. The place is not small, but the environment is a bit worse than that of restaurants in Beijing! Qingdao original juice is 35 yuan per bucket. To be honest, I recommend the small bucket. It is such a big pot that people who don’t drink but want to try it really can’t drink it. The steamed dumplings taste good, with big shrimps in it, as shown in the picture! Plus a bowl of millet porridge, it is the best to eat on a rainy day!
In the morning, we went to the Catholic Church, which is located on Zhongshan Road. After the visit, it was lunch time, so we went to Chunhelou, a century-old old restaurant nearby, to eat. We ordered signature dishes such as crispy chicken, minced meat sea cucumber, prawns, steamed dumplings, etc. To be honest, I only thought the minced meat sea cucumber tasted good, and the rest didn't feel anything special, and the price was expensive. The waiter's attitude was bad and the dishes were served slowly.
The century-old restaurant is just famous, but the service attitude is not good. The service is not up to par. These dishes cost more than 300 yuan. The nine-turn large intestine costs 88 yuan, which is not delicious at all. The clams are the worst in the three days. Except for the crispy chicken, the rest are not good. It is recommended to find a popular small restaurant that is better, with good service and affordable prices.
Chunhelou is the best restaurant in Qingdao, known as the first Shandong Lu cuisine. There are many tourists coming to taste it every day. This century-old restaurant tastes really good. The classic Shandong dishes such as crispy chicken and seafood family portrait are worth tasting.
