Yuloudong is a well-known Chinese restaurant and time-honored Chinese restaurant. It has always been regarded as the birthplace of authentic Hunan cuisine, and enjoys the reputation of "Whampoa Military Academy" of Hunan cuisine. It is the only "national super restaurant" and "national top ten restaurant" in Hunan Province, the only "little giant enterprise" among catering enterprises in Hunan Province, and a well-known and prestigious Sanxiang. At present, it is moving towards collectivization, scale and chain-like, and now it has formed a business pattern of "five directly affiliated stores and four franchised chain stores", with five directly affiliated stores: Yuanda Road Store in Yuloudong, Wuyi Road Store in Yuloudong, Xinyuloudong Food and Culture Square, Xingsha Store in Yuloudong and Zhangjiajie Store in Yuloudong. It has three franchise chain stores: Yuloudong Beijing Store, Yuloudong Lanzhou Store and Yuloudong Ningxiang Store. As an important part of Huxiang food culture, Yuloudong's establishment and development have contributed to the promotion of Huxiang food culture and the innovation and development of Hunan cuisine, and have always been respected by peers in the food industry and favored by customers. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Zeng Guangying, the grandson of Zeng Guofan in Hanlin, went upstairs to have dinner, leaving a well-known saying, "Spicy chicken soup makes people remember the east of Yulou". Tan Xiting and Shu Guiqing, the famous chefs of Hunan cuisine in the past dynasties, have been in charge here; Xu Juyun, a China culinary master and a master of Hunan cuisine, is now concentrating on research and teaching skills. Yuloudong has become the birthplace of authentic Hunan cuisine because of its strong technology and unique historical and cultural background, and enjoys the reputation of "Whampoa Military Academy" of Hunan cuisine. As an outstanding representative of Hunan cuisine, Yuloudong's dishes are updated quickly, and award-winning dishes emerge one after another. For example, Guiyu with a handful of sticks, Hundred Pages of Hair, Elbow with Sauce, Dragon Boat with Treasure, Braised Pork in Maojia, Tortoise and Sheep in Dongting, and Goldfish Playing Lotus have won prizes in national cooking competitions. Now, the golden signboard of Yuloudong is more radiant, and the title of Hunan cuisine "Whampoa Military Academy" is more worthy of the name. "Yuloudong" has been deeply rooted in the minds of diners, and Yuloudong has become the first choice for people to taste Hunan cuisine and appreciate Hunan food culture.
