Suzhou Gusu Gusu Boat Banquet·Shantang River View·Suzhou Cuisine (Shantang Street Store)

#2月好去处2025 Address: No. 65, Fangjishang, Baigongci, Shantang Street (next to the cruise ship terminal) Atmosphere/Facilities: Small location, on-site number collection, crowded small tables, poor cleanliness Features: Crab roe noodles, Suzhou cuisine Price per person: 150RMB Rating: Suzhou Li Baixie Crab Roe Noodles must be familiar to everyone, but the name of Gusu Boat Feast sounds fresh. The location is quite conspicuous, next to Bai Juyi Pier. You often need to queue and cannot get a number online. You need to pick up a number on site. On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, you need to wait for a seat at a small table, but you can skip it directly if you want to pick up a seat at number 100. You need to wait for a seat at a large table with more than 6 people, but you can skip it directly if you want to pick up a seat at number 20. You can go out and buy some snacks, and your number will pass in less than 10 minutes. Looking at your WeChat reminder, the number calling order jumped 5-6 groups of numbers in a row within one minute. I began to wonder who could keep up with this pace. After our number was called, we were asked to wait for him to demonstrate how to call our number before we could sit down to eat. The six-person table was three small double tables put together, and the size of the space for eating noodles was quite crowded considering the size of the 458 review set menu. The food was served very quickly, and it was all ready in less than 5 minutes after the order was placed. They are definitely competing for customer flow, so there is no need to order the Jiangnan Boat Banquet Set Meal for 668. The guy in the store said that the waiting time for dining on the boat starts at 2 hours, which means that you may need to queue up at noon, and you may not be able to sit down in the evening. It also depends on whether the people on the boat have finished their meal. Moreover, you have to wait on the spot and cannot book a dining time. Maybe there are too many people and the tabletop is not clean enough, with a layer of greasiness. The squirrel fish tasted average, and the drunken crab had plenty of crab roe but was not fresh enough. The only decent dish on the table is the crab roe and shrimp, so shouldn’t we just have crab roe noodles? It's better to order crab roe noodles at 128. It's really not harmonious to experience Suzhou cuisine with the specifications of a noodle stall, and it's not recommended to dine in when there are many people. If you really want to experience Li Baixie, just eat crab roe noodles and avoid Suzhou cuisine.
