A Hangzhou inspired restaurant with an eclectic interior, and a menu of similar fashion. Expect delicious hot-pots with a variety of broths to choose, favored Hangzhou treats such as dongpu rou, and a selection of whole fish that are able to feed a table easily.

Japanese restaurant specializing in eel, though it offers much more than that. To experience Changman Wu's deliciously original take on the eel, try the grilled eel or an eel roll. For starters, cold tofu (traditional tofu sprinkled with sliced green onions and shaved bonito) or wasabi octopus are both good bets. Most entrees are in the 60-100 rmb range; appetizers run 15-30 rmb.
