    Its a well decorated big restaurant offering Hangzhou food. Hangzhou is the capital city of Zhejiang Province.Wahaha Restaurant is a unique experience for you. As a foreigner, you may have some guesswork since they dont speak English.But, its never mind. They have super good! Wahaha is quite large, about 100 closed family/party rooms and several open areas. The internal decor is based on the ponds and shore vegetation. From the outside you wouldnt even know there was a big restaurant here.In the busy restaurant times it may be a useful thing to reserve ahead of time.Its better to have your hotel staff to reserve for you. The food is also tilting toward the aquatic, with fantastic dishes made of most of what can be hauled up from the deep. Rather a southern Chinese emphasis, without being identified as Cantonese or this or that.
