About

Tian Lun is another heavyweight in the Hangzhou crab-dining scene, often considered more upscale and specialized. They are famous for their 'Drunken Crabs' and various crab-meat based appetizers. The restaurant has a quiet, sophisticated atmosphere with attentive service. They take great pride in the sourcing of their ingredients, especially the crabs from Taihu or Yangcheng Lake. Expert recommendation: The 'Tian Lun Braised Crab Roe' served with small steamed buns is a decadent treat.
