Xiehe Restaurant (Fenghuang Street Branch)

Xiehe Restaurant is an old restaurant with good business, mainly because their Suzhou cuisine tastes very authentic, especially the squirrel mandarin fish, fried eel paste, etc., which are very delicious, and the price is not expensive, very close to the people. The restaurant environment is also good, and the waiters are friendly.

A restaurant with a more Suzhou flavor. I've been here many times and I don't feel tired of it. The environment is quite good. The antique decoration style. Although it doesn't look big, it is actually two stories high. The Suzhou dishes in the restaurant, including eel shreds and shrimp, are large and fresh.

We arrived at 4 PM, before the meal even started. The thin lady with glasses and another waiter were very friendly and helpful, offering excellent service. Later, a slightly overweight lady wasn't so good. After finishing her meal, she noticed one of the dishes she ordered didn't match the picture on the wall, so she asked about it. The lady yelled that the dish was wrong and cost 10 yuan more. She demanded she pay the difference. She followed us to the front desk to get the bill, and kept asking the waitress for more money, explaining that the previous waitress had ordered the wrong dish, blah blah blah... Fortunately, the waitress was understanding and said it wasn't our mistake, so she didn't ask for the difference. But the overweight lady left a bad impression. A mistake is a mistake. We were all tourists anyway, so it was fine to try it. It's okay. I hope the lady who ordered first wasn't affected.
