"Grandma’s Home, originating in Hangzhou, China, is the first U.S. location of a Chinese chain known for its unique blend of northern and southern Chinese cuisine. The restaurant, which opened in March, features a variety of dishes including hong shao rou, tofu skin rolls, green tea claypot chicken, simmered peppercorn beef, and scallion oil noodles. The large venue, seating 120, is decorated with modest pottery, surreal art, hanging plants, and a flagstone wall, creating an outdoor dining feel. The bar serves mocktails and sake-strength cocktails, with a wine list dominated by European selections." - Robert Sietsema
"Grandma's Home, a Chinese restaurant chain specializing in Hangzhou cooking, now has an opening date: March 18." - Emma Orlow
"Mi Tea actually originated in Hangzhou, China, and it’s a great place for people who take their tea very seriously. But even if you couldn't tell a tea leaf from a blade of grass, you will easily find something delicious here. Especially if you order the brown sugar bubble milk with taro. Mi Tea is also connected to iFresh, a huge Asian supermarket, and , one of our favorite spots for Chinese barbecue. So you can make an afternoon out of a trip here. " - Ryan Pfeffer
"After honing his skills in a number of prestigious kitchens, Chef Alan Yu took on this atmospheric restaurant in 2022. Each of the six tables are secluded by heavily textured stone walls. Its single fixed-price menu at lunch and dinner features dishes rooted in French tradition yet boosted by subtle Chinese twists." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
"Hangzhou is an easy day trip from Shanghai , just 45 minutes by bullet train from Hongqiao Station. Hangzhou is the home of China's prized Longjing green tea, which you can taste at the China National Tea Museum. The city is also known for its temples and for beautiful West Lake, captured in countless photos and classical Chinese paintings. Lingyin Temple is one of China’s largest Buddhist temples, which dates back to the 4th century (although most of the buildings that visitors see today are contemporary reconstructions of Qing Dynasty structures). In front of the temple is the Feilai Feng grotto, with more than 300 rock reliefs of Buddha, some dating from the 10th century."
