Yanchun Restaurant
宴春酒楼
A century-old Zhenjiang restaurant where you can have crystal aspic pork, crab roe soup dumplings, and pot-lid noodles all in one visit. It is the top choice for experiencing Zhenjiang morning dim sum.
Yanchun Restaurant is a renowned old Zhenjiang establishment famous for its Huaiyang-style morning dim sum. Signature dishes include crystal aspic pork shank, known locally as “yaorou is not a proper dish,” crab roe soup dumplings, Zhenjiang pot-lid noodles (a local saying goes “the lid gets cooked in the noodle pot”), and a range of dim sum. It is served with Zhenjiang aromatic vinegar and shredded ginger. Weekend mornings draw long queues, so arriving early is recommended. It is not far from Xijindu and Daxi Road, and you can stroll the old streets after your meal.
