Melvin Heng
★★★★★a month agoBeautiful Restaurant with an amazing view of West Lake on the 3rd floor open balcony area. Splendid food and variety of fresh local fruits (yang mei etc) and spread of Hangzhou Delights make this visit worthwhile. Highly recommended!!! (average spend around USD 80 per pax do note) *Thanks Chu2.

★★★★★3 years agoYou will get to look at Westlake from third floor. There are private rooms facing Westlake, with big table for 14 pax. 龙井茶 in Hangzhou is a must try!
