Reviews
- TaylorLover61"Yanjintang West Courtyard is located opposite Huayu Shopping Center. The West Courtyard serves Chinese cuisine, while the adjacent East Courtyard offers Western dishes. My friend and I indulged in the Michelin two-person set meal, which cost just over 900 yuan. Every dish was delicious, but my favorite was the tangerine peel beef, with its rich, melting fat, and the crab meat shark fin soup, which was also very palatable. The restaurant has an old-fashioned decor, reminiscent of the Wynn Palace in Macau and the Grand Budapest Hotel."



- JamieTraveler41My partner and I visited this restaurant, and the atmosphere was truly great—quiet and artistic, with paintings on the walls that added to the overall style. We tried the crispy spring onion braised abalone, which was tender and delicious, complemented by the crunchy onions, offering a rich texture. The honeycomb yogurt ice cream was refreshing and helped cut through the richness of the meal, leaving us feeling refreshed. The service was attentive as well, with staff providing detailed explanations of the dishes. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience.

- CameronSeeker32My partner and I dined here for dinner and the atmosphere was truly delightful. The lighting was soft, and the walls adorned with art pieces, creating a perfect ambiance. The private room was spacious and offered great privacy, making it ideal for conversation and photos. The service was attentive without being intrusive; staff would only approach when needed, and they were quick to respond to a gentle bell. The dishes were elegantly presented and tasted great, especially the steak, which was tender and perfectly matched with aromatic sauces. The overall experience was very relaxing, and we had a wonderful time chatting and feeling the romance of the evening.
