Chen elucidated that the name Wu You Xian is derived from the Japanese term "Oishii", which means delicious or tasty, and also symbolizes the concept of "freshness within the establishment" in Chinese.

"We've had lines since the opening of Wu You Xian; it has always been very popular," Chen notes. Starting with xiaolongbao with pork filling, her passion for dumplings drove her to create diverse flavors like crab xiaolongbao.

"The first time I made crab xiaolongbao, I sold 11 baskets. I was so thrilled, I couldn't sleep." Apart from daily crowds, many touching stories have unfolded at her restaurant, which has deeply moved Chen and provided her with the motivation to persevere.

Chen always remembers a tearful embrace from a stranger.

"Your xiaolongbao have changed our family. Last night, my wife completed the household chores in anticipation of enjoying your dishes this morning. We have never experienced such delight in dining out," the emotional stranger expressed.

At that moment, Chen realized that recognition from her customers had fulfilled her greatest expectations, surpassing the mere significance of the delicacies.

In 2023, Zhaojialou town's renovation forced Wu You Xian to relocate. Eight months later, a new store opened in the downtown area of South Maoming Road.

Over the years, Chen single-handedly developed the 28 flavors of xiaolongbao currently on the menu. These soup dumplings feature a variety of delicacies, ranging from the meat, roe and milt of hairy crabs to sea cucumber, truffle, abalone, mantis shrimp, mushroom and scallops.
