Brand Story
Founded in the late Qing Dynasty (around the end of the 19th century), Lishunde takes its name from the I Ching, meaning 'smooth and virtuous.' The founder, whose name is yet to be verified, opened the establishment in Tianjin, quickly gaining acclaim for exquisite culinary skills and strict ingredient selection. As Tianjin, a city at the confluence of nine rivers, served as a crossroads between north and south, Lishunde integrated the best of both culinary traditions, forging a unique style. Through generations of inheritance, Lishunde has witnessed the evolution of Tianjin's modern dining industry, becoming a vital representative of the city's food culture. Signature dishes like 'Lishunde Roast Duck' and 'Zengbeng Carp' are beloved by patrons and carry profound cultural significance.
