4 Huntangqiao, Gongshu, Hangzhou, China Mainland
¥¥ ・ Hang Zhou
Tucked away in a small alley, Wulin has been serving authentic, reasonably priced Hangzhou food since 2008. The drunken prawns marinated in a wine sauce have a sweet aftertaste; the braised yellow croaker with sticky rice cakes is cooked with chilli bean paste and sliced pork for an umami extravaganza. Lamb, especially popular in winter, is prepared in myriad ways. The main restaurant area isn't huge, but there are a few private rooms available to book.
