Brand Story
Zhu Hongxing was founded in the late Qing Dynasty or early Republic of China era, with the exact year yet to be verified. According to legend, the founder, Mr. Zhu, opened a noodle shop near Changmen Gate in Suzhou. With his strict selection of ingredients and unique broth-making skills, he quickly won the favor of diners. During the Republic of China period, Zhu Hongxing had already become a well-known noodle house in Suzhou, famous for its braised pork noodles and fried fish noodles. After the public-private partnership in 1956, Zhu Hongxing underwent many changes but always adhered to traditional techniques. Today, Zhu Hongxing is not only a representative of Suzhou cuisine but also a living fossil of Jiangnan culinary culture. Its noodle-making techniques have been listed as intangible cultural heritage, making it an important window for domestic and international visitors to savor the Suzhou lifestyle.
