Xiaocaiyuan New Hui Cuisine (Xingyue Plaza)

Xiaocaiyuan New Hui Cuisine is a branch of an Anhui-founded restaurant chain, located in Shop 04-14 on the 4th floor of Xingyue Plaza, at Weixing Xingli Road and Chizhushan Middle Road in Wuhu's Yijiang District, Anhui province, China. It serves modern Hui home cooking, an updated take on the regional cuisine of southern Anhui that keeps traditional braised and fermented flavours but presents them in a contemporary, mall-based setting. The branch holds a rating of about 4.8, and reviewers describe a busy store where private rooms need booking. The dish named on the listing as a signature is stinky mandarin fish with rice soup (chou guiyu paofan). Stinky mandarin fish is a fermented Huizhou speciality with a pungent aroma and tender flesh, and serving it with rice in broth turns it into a comforting one-bowl meal. Beyond that, the menu follows the chain's modern Hui approach, with home-style dishes designed for sharing. Because the restaurant is inside a shopping plaza, the dining room is bright and modern, with a family-oriented, lively atmosphere that can be noisy at peak times; there is no dress code. Per-person prices are not published on the listing, but the restaurant is in the budget tier. No wine programme is noted, and diners typically order tea, soft drinks or beer. Reservations matter here: the listing advises reserving private rooms in advance through Dianping or the Xiaocaiyuan app, and booking a day ahead is sensible for weekends and holidays. Opening hours on the Trip.com listing are 11:00-14:00 and 17:00-21:00, so there is a break in the afternoon, and visitors are advised to confirm on Dianping. The telephone number on the listing is +86 553 5891087. The Yijiang District location is south of the old town, so the restaurant suits visitors staying near Chizhushan or the surrounding retail area.
