Fodor's Expert Review Zhuang Yuan Lou Restaurant

At this restaurant on the Yu Yao River, near the He Yi shopping complex's western end, you step through gigantic red-and-gold doors into an antiques-filled dining room, where hostesses in elaborate silk dresses welcome you. The Ningbo cuisine is as traditional as the setting: steamed turtle, fried yellow-fish with fresh blueberries, pork ribs.
