A 2016 Qunar post says the 1925 Mars tea shop (Xibadao Street) became state-owned after 1956 joint ownership and in 1959 moved to the current 112 Zhongyang Street and was renamed Huamei. Single travel-blog source; venue-level date at this address is 1959, with 1925 being the predecessor's founding. Estimated: 1959 is a best estimate and 1959-12-31 is used only as a period-end sorting date, not a confirmed opening day.^[1]

Dongfang Dumpling King — Central Street — Harbin restaurant guide

41 Central Street, corner of West 13th Street, Daoli District, Harbin, Heilongjiang, China

Starts 04/22/1993ESTIMATED65% CONFIDENCE

MOFCOM's time-honored brand museum says the first Dongfang Jiaozi Wang opened on 22 April 1993 on Central Street, but gives number 39 whereas the entry is number 41; because the numbers differ (renumbering or relocation not verified) this is an estimate for this venue. Earlier forerunner: a seafood dumpling shop on Jingwei 4th Street from February 1990. Estimated: the exact day 1993-04-22 comes from a proxy source (registration, announcement or hotel opening) and is not a confirmed opening day.^[1]

The 41 Central Street branch offers hand-made dumplings and Northeastern dishes, including pine-nut-and-corn dumplings, cabbage-and-pork dumplings and guobaorou.

UPPER bound: a Qunar review of 老昌春饼(中央大街店) is dated 2017-10-19 and already calls it a famous old spring-pancake shop; the brand began in 1992 in Harbin (brand date only). The 爱企查 entry for the shop (成立 2021-05-17) is a later business registration, not an opening, so the real opening is probably well before 2017 but undated. Estimated: 2017 is a best estimate and 2017-12-31 is used only as a period-end sorting date, not a confirmed opening day.^[1]
