Yu Mian Tang (Nanxin Road)
裕面堂
A premium Suzhou-style noodle house at the foot of the old Changmen city wall, serving three-shrimp noodles in summer and crab roe noodles in winter, Michelin Bib Gourmand.
The brand heritage of Yu Mian Tang dates back to 1876, and it was revived near its original site in 2019 by descendants of the founder. The canal-side storefront is adorned with lanterns, and Pingtan (storytelling and ballad singing) performances are held on weekends and holidays. The noodles are custom-made, and the broth is sweetened with dried scallops. In summer, the three-shrimp noodles (shrimp meat, shrimp roe, and shrimp brain) are a must-order, which switch to crab roe and Tuhuangyou (pure crab fat and roe) noodles in autumn and winter. Regular toppings include Suzhou-style deep-fried fish, braised pork, and stir-fried eel. The three-shrimp noodles are highly priced, noted in some reviews at 138 RMB, with Ctrip listing the average cost at around 88 RMB. It can be visited alongside Shantang Street. The Michelin page notes that it is cash-only.
