Chujie Farmhouse Courtyard (Chujie Nongjia Xiaoyuan)

Chujie Farmhouse Courtyard (楚街农家小院, Chujie Nongjia Xiaoyuan) is a casual farmhouse-style restaurant at No. 1177 Chu Street, Sucheng District, Suqian, Jiangsu Province, China. It sits on Chu Street, a night-eating strip where restaurants, snack outlets and bars cluster, and it offers farmhouse cooking (农家菜), a rustic style that emphasises country ingredients, big portions and hearty seasoning rather than refined presentation. Two dishes are highlighted in listings: earthen-pot chicken (地锅土鸡), in which free-range chicken is braised in a large iron wok set into a stove, often with flatbread stuck to the wok's rim to soak up the juices, a style popular across Jiangsu, Anhui and Shandong; and sauerkraut fish (酸菜鱼), a sour, savoury fish stew originally from Sichuan that has become a standard across China. The farmhouse theme usually means a courtyard or rustic decor with wooden tables, and the atmosphere is likely lively and informal, with groups of friends and families sharing large pots. No dress code applies. Beverages are mainly tea, soft drinks and beer; baijiu is common at group dinners, and local Suqian labels from Yanghe and Shuanggou are a natural pairing. Prices and opening hours are not published in the sources consulted, so travellers should expect a mid-range cost per person and confirm hours on Meituan or Dianping before going, especially as night-strip venues often open late into the evening. No phone number or reservation system is listed; walk-ins are the practical approach on weekdays, while weekend evenings may require arriving early or calling through the apps. Payment is normally by WeChat Pay or Alipay. Menus are probably in Chinese only. The location on Chu Street makes it easy to combine with an evening stroll along the strip, and it suits groups who want a filling, shareable meal rather than a quick solo bite.
