I fell in love with Xiaoyuanlou from the first time I ate there. Every year when I come to Suzhou, I must come to Xiaoyuanlou. The dishes are still so delicious after all these years. Suzhou cuisine is basically the same as our Shanghai cuisine, with thick oil, red sauce and sweet taste. I absolutely love it. I have brought friends here to eat many times and they all said it was delicious. I will come again next time.

[Environment] I went to the Humble Administrator's Garden at noon. I searched online and found that this restaurant is a Suzhou specialty. I must try it. [Taste] The drunken crab is a little different from the one in the north, but the crab roe is full, the taste is good, and the price is not expensive. It's delicious! [Service] The service level is a little bit poor, and the restaurant environment is a bit messy!

This is a restaurant on East Street. I came here to try it after being introduced by the hotel staff. It was only 11:15 when we arrived, but the restaurant was already full. We almost had to queue. As there were only two of us eating, we could not try too many dishes, but the dishes we ordered tasted really good, and most importantly, the saltiness was moderate. The price was also reasonable and not expensive. It did not have the greasy and salty feeling that Chinese food has. It is worth recommending to everyone as a must-try restaurant when visiting Suzhou.

It's an old shop on Northwest Street! But the quality of the dishes has slightly declined! Fish head 38/portion, quite big, tastes good, but I still feel a little spicy even though I can eat spicy food! Clam meat and golden cauliflower, not enough seasoning, too little soup! Chrysanthemum and dried tofu, the chrysanthemum is super tender, but the dried tofu is not well selected. Snails, taste good, the same portion is much smaller! Preserved egg, average! The price is still quite favorable! This is only 110!

I had never heard of this restaurant before, but this time my friend specifically recommended it to me as a relatively affordable restaurant, so I came to Xiaoyuanlou for lunch. I got there early, around 11 o'clock, and it was full soon after I sat down. The dishes were indeed very affordable, and I ordered Suzhou's signature sweet and sour mandarin fish, fried eel paste, river shrimp, etc., which were very delicious.

I found this restaurant on Ctrip. It's worth the trip. No matter whether it's meat or vegetables, the food at Xiaoyuanlou is super delicious. I fell in love with Suzhou cuisine. The price is very fair and the portion is large. If you order too much, the store will remind you. The service is super good. It's always full every day. It's super delicious. I like it very much.
