Songhelou

Songhelou was first founded in Suzhou, China more than 250 years ago, during the Qianlong era of the Qing Dynasty, and now it’s opened its first international branch in Chinatown. The Wardour Street restaurant is showcasing the food of Jiangnan, a region immediately south of the Yangtze River in the south east of China. Suzhou-style noodles are Songhelou’s most famous dish – slim, delicate noodles in a sweet spicy dark broth – served with an array of different toppings, such as sweet and sour squirrel-shaped bass, Suzhou-style braised pork, stir-fried crab meat and roe, sizzling eel slices in oil, and flavoured crayfish.
