Yingfeng Manmian Restaurant (迎风满面餐馆) is a casual local restaurant at No. 21 Dongxian South Road in Dingshu Town, Yixing, Jiangsu province, China. The cuisine is Yixing home cooking with an emphasis on noodles, a staple that the name itself hints at, since manmian puns on a face full of wind or a bowl full of noodles. Signature dishes listed locally include noodles, stir-fried dishes and braised pork. Noodles in this part of Jiangsu are typically served in a clear or lightly soy-based broth with toppings such as braised pork, vegetables or fried egg, and the stir-fried plates offer a wider choice for groups that want to share. Braised pork, cooked slowly with soy sauce and sugar in the Jiangnan manner, is the richest and most traditional item. Prices are modest, at roughly CNY 40-80 per person, so a full meal with several dishes remains affordable. The dining room is straightforward, with simple tables and a steady flow of local diners, workers and visitors from nearby pottery attractions; noise levels climb at lunchtime and no dress code applies. Beverages are limited to tea, soft drinks and beer, with no distinctive wine or cocktail programme. Reservations are not typically taken, and arriving before about 11:30 or 17:30 helps at peak lunch and weekend dinner. The restaurant is open from roughly 10:30 to 21:00 without a long afternoon break, which suits travellers on irregular schedules. Dongxian South Road is a main thoroughfare in Dingshu, so the restaurant is easy to reach by taxi or ride-hailing app from the town's ceramics sites. It is a practical option for visitors who want a reliable, filling meal of familiar Yixing flavours without a long wait or a high bill.
