The name "Bite Not" initially makes people think it's just a gimmick, but once you take a bite, you realize it's truly "Bite Not". The pan-fried buns have a thin skin and are full of broth; even when I intentionally take a gentle bite, they still burst with juice at the first mouthful, flooding my entire mouth with flavor!
(You really have to be careful not to get burned)

"Fresh Meat Pan-Fried Buns"
Consistently good, the dough is fluffy, and the bottom is pan-fried to a golden crisp. The filling is juicy but not overly greasy. The seasoning is on the mild side, making it the kind of "basic dish that is delicious no matter how many times you eat it" that becomes more flavorful the more you chew.

"Shrimp Pan-Fried Buns"
The shrimp is fresh and crunchy, with the meat filling complementing the sweetness of the shrimp. The seasoning is brighter and more layered than the fresh meat version. Each one offers the delightful texture of biting into a whole shrimp, making it my favorite dish of the day, definitely worth ordering!

Hot Dish: "Sour Cabbage Beef Vermicelli"
It maintains the clean tone of the restaurant's soup dishes. The sour cabbage is not pungent, the beef slices are tender, and the vermicelli absorbs the broth, providing a smooth texture. The broth has a sour aroma but is not overly salty, and most importantly—there's absolutely no artificial or strange seasoning residue; it’s a refreshing vermicelli dish you can confidently finish the whole bowl.

"Sliced River"
The soup base is made from dried bamboo shoots, snow vegetables, and thin slices of lean meat, which seems simple but is actually quite delicate in flavor. The slight sourness and salty aroma from the snow vegetables give the broth a refreshing depth, while the dried bamboo shoots provide a crunchy texture and a subtle woody scent. The entire bowl is free from any greasiness yet is very enjoyable to drink, making it a dish that tests the details of Jiangnan noodles, and this version is clear, fresh, balanced, and very appealing.

Overall, the dishes at "Bite Not" do not boast extravagant presentations but win through their quality: the pan-fried buns are thin skinned and bursting with juice, the soups are clean and smooth, and the noodles maintain the elegance of Jiangnan cuisine. If I had to nitpick, I would say you definitely need to be careful while eating the pan-fried buns—they really can spray.
But it's precisely this explosive quality of "Bite Not" that makes you want to come back for more after finishing!
