Ban Yuan Private-home Cuisine

It is worth recommending. I would like to praise the staff. They are super nice and have a really good attitude. They are not impatient at all! The restaurant environment is very quiet, the dishes are as exquisite as ever, and the portions are also very large. Good reviews! I am an old customer and come here every week. It is very worthwhile. I have already recommended it to my friends around me!

Very good, the quality is impeccable! Since I bought the coupons here, I seem to be addicted to it. I come here every week to find discounts! Very good, the quality is impeccable! Since I bought the coupons here, I seem to be addicted to it. I come here every week to find discounts!

The warm clear chicken soup is clear, but it is just a piece of chicken, a few pieces of duck blood, and a few green onions, which is ordinary. At first, I thought that the technical content of this clear soup seemed a bit low as a private dish. After drinking a sip of the soup, well, the chicken is indeed a good chicken, which can support the freshness of the soup. After taking another spoonful, I saw a piece of radish in the soup. When I bit it open, a slightly sour and spicy taste overflowed from the juice of the radish, filling the whole mouth. That sip of clear soup suddenly became like a pond full of lotus flowers overnight, and it became brilliant in an instant. The sour and spicy taste is not seen in the soup, but the little thought is hidden in a piece of radish, which makes it look surprising and layered.

In the quiet Chuanfang Lane in the northern section of Pingjiang Road, there is such an authentic Suzhou private restaurant. It is like a small private garden, and the owner loves antiques and artworks. Therefore, when you walk into the elegant courtyard, you will see many of the owner's collections arranged in a staggered manner. Here, you can have an authentic Suzhou cuisine in peace and quiet. I made an appointment by phone in advance. When I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the owner was already welcoming diners, and I chose a booth by the window with my friend to sit down. The first floor is a booth, and the second floor is a private room. The environment is elegant and quiet, and you can chat and eat with friends at ease, which makes people feel very comfortable. Sitting by the window, you can also bask in the sun and enjoy the scenery in the garden. No need to worry about what dishes to order, because there is no menu here. 200RMB per person, the owner will prepare seasonal side dishes, from cold dishes, hot dishes to snacks, desserts, and fruits, everything is available. The chef here used to work at Shanghai Jinjiang Hotel and has 30 years of work experience. He was hired by the owner at a high price to ensure the quality of the dishes. Cold ice grass: cool and refreshing, with fragrant sesame salad dressing. Blueberry purple potato: delicate taste, appropriate sweetness. Hand-shredded herring: no fishy smell, fresh and appetizing. Sour radish chicken soup: the chicken soup is delicious, with oil floating, but not greasy. The sour radish in it is very appetizing. Hand-peeled shrimp: all fresh hand-peeled river shrimp, the original flavor is best to eat, the meat is chewy, and those who like vinegar can eat it with vinegar. Braised fish fillet in wine: the black fish fillet is firm and tender, the fish meat will not loosen when bitten, and the thickening is very rich. Fried rice cake with flower crab: the rice cake is very soft and glutinous, the crab meat is relatively firm, a little tender, and the sauce is sweet. Fish spring rolls: The fried golden and crispy spring roll skin wraps the delicate fish meat. The fish meat is hand-chopped, and the juice is delicious and mixed with pepper, which makes people praise it. Pan-fried rose fish: It is a kind of sea fish called horsehead fish. The skin is crispy, the meat is tender inside, and the bones and meat are separated, which is very convenient to eat. Cherry meat: The bright color makes people full of appetite. When you bite it, you can see fat and lean meat intertwined, and the sauce has the unique sweetness of Suzhou cuisine. Pick up a piece and you will see the thick sauce hanging down. Nourishing abalone porridge: There are few ingredients, and I didn’t see millet. I wonder if I got the wrong name of the dish, but it is still very delicious. Stir-fried mushrooms: The mushrooms are very fresh and the sauce is sweet. Stir-fried water spinach: Clean and refreshing, but I am really full after eating here. Pumpkin and glutinous rice dumplings: I love to eat glutinous rice dumplings, so this time is no exception. The sweetness of pumpkin plus the glutinous dumplings. Fruit after the meal: Watermelons in this season are not sweet. There are 15 dishes in total. You will feel full after eating them. You may need two stomachs. The dishes are of high quality and are strictly controlled by the owner. The presentation may need to be more refined. The host's mother will come over to ask if you are satisfied with the dishes. She is very enthusiastic. If you are tired of walking around Pingjiang Road, it is a good choice to go to Banyuan to rest and eat authentic Suzhou cuisine.

I came here after reading the reviews on Ctrip. I was afraid that there would be no seats when I arrived, so I called to make a reservation two days in advance. It is in a small alley, very close to the Lion Forest. The service is very good. The legendary grandma is really very nice and treats the children very kindly. The dishes tasted good, 4 cold dishes, 10 hot dishes, and a dessert. There were more fish dishes, and only one braised eel was a little sweet. The others are still worth recommending. The family of three liked it very much.

All five-star reviews, I am from Northeast China My brother and I came to this popular restaurant after searching for a long time. The owner of the restaurant is very talkative, so I started chatting with him. I said, I came from Heilongjiang, and just got off the train, I came to your legendary restaurant. The owner was very happy when he heard it. I asked how many dishes you have here, and I heard that squirrel mandarin fish is your famous Jiangsu dish. Main dishes: ice grass (very exciting), green fish spring rolls, chicken soup. Anyway, 13 dishes, every dish is classic

If I don't write it down, I'm afraid I'll forget this meal. Banyuan doesn’t seem to have any geographical advantages, but it ranks first on the list of must-eat restaurants in Suzhou on Dianping.com. In addition to its business operation capabilities, the food should be guaranteed. So we followed the map and the navigation to go there. After eating two Suzhou dishes, I quickly figured out the list of local traditional signature dishes. Longjing shrimp, stinky mandarin fish, and scallion oil noodles are standard in every Suzhou restaurant. It’s pretty much the same here, and there’s nothing new about it. After we sat down, we realized that, this restaurant does not require ordering dishes, but side dishes, 200 yuan per person, you can eat whatever you are given. Two months have passed, and I can still roughly remember that the blood soup was delicious, the river eel and scallion chicken were tasty, and the pickled pork looked greasy, but it was still acceptable to try just one piece. When the shrimps are served to each table, there is a grandmother-like waitress who will come over and enthusiastically remind the guests to eat them while they are hot. The original intention was probably good, but he always picked up the plate and put the shrimp into the guests' bowls, which always seemed too enthusiastic. After all, people are shaped by their environment. The number one must-eat restaurant didn’t give me a reason to visit again.

Saw the rave reviews on Ctrip, followed the map to find the place, the price per person was 200 yuan, no need to order, the restaurant prepared well, the color, aroma and taste were good, there were more than 10 dishes, good value for money, good service attitude, mother-in-law is like family, very enthusiastic to introduce the dishes, told you to eat this way, that way, and let you take it home to eat the next morning, we didn't need to order if we stayed in the hotel, thumbs up!
