Sanfengqiao is the shop most associated with Wuxi's braised spare ribs, sweet and soft, made with an old brine. It is both a takeaway counter and a place to sit.
Sanfengqiao Meat Shop was founded in 1927 and standardized Wuxi's braised spare ribs. The shop is at 240 Zhongshan Road, Liangxi District (phone +86 510 8270 0605). The ribs are red-brown, glazed and sweet, with meat that slides from the bone. A portion costs about CNY 25-60 (USD 4-9). Wuxi flavors lean sweet: sugar appears even in savory dishes. Alipay and WeChat Pay are standard.

Tips for visiting
- Payment is by Alipay or WeChat Pay; foreign cards are accepted at few venues, so a foreign-card-linked Alipay or WeChat Pay account set up before arrival, or cash, is the safe plan.
- Menus are usually Chinese-only outside large hotels; a translation app (Google Translate camera mode or Baidu Translate) and photo menus help.
- Buy a vacuum pack for the train
