About

Named after the 'Old Man' (Lao Tou Er) who started it, this restaurant is a legendary local institution. It became famous for its simple, perfectly executed 'Fried River Shrimp with Tea Leaves.' The setting is no-frills and focused entirely on the food. It’s one of the best places to experience the genuine, unpretentious side of Hangzhou's food culture. Expert recommendation: The 'Dry-Fried River Shrimp' and 'Braised Fish Head' are the top choices. Pro tip: Expect a loud, busy environment. This isn't a place for a quiet romantic dinner, but for a high-quality, authentic local feast.
