Reviews
- Reese_1We picked Liugou Chuniang Restaurant for our family get-together during the National Day holiday — went through a bunch of options before settling on this one. Honestly the place looks really nice inside, clean and tidy, and the servers (older ladies) were super friendly. Been to Liugou a few times before and usually just grab one of those numbered restaurants where you pay per person for a set meal, but Chuniang looked a step up — it's a la carte, and they had a big private room too. It's in this new development area, basically tucked just below the main street, with some guesthouses around it. Nice vibe. The food was actually more nicely presented than the set-menu places, and yeah the prices were a bit higher, but the flavors? Kinda underwhelming tbh. We ordered a whole table of stuff and the portions weren't huge. The three-color tofu hotpot (三色豆腐火盆锅) was alright, but the stewed chicken and red braised pork we got that day were clearly not cooked long enough — no flavor got in. The so-called "classic" dishes all felt pretty average, probably not made by a proper head chef or something. Funny thing is the homestyle dishes we added on later, like green pepper stir-fried pork (柿子椒炒肉), were actually really good. Might've been because they were slammed during the holiday. I mean the space is nice and all, but at the end of the day the food's what matters, right? Still some room to improve.
