Guangxi-Style BBQ in Shenzhen: Unique Grilled Beef Skewers & Sweet-and-Sour Noodles

As someone from Guangdong, I always assumed that BBQ across China was pretty much the same, with the main differences being whether it was spicy and what ingredients were used. But my recent visit to this Guangxi-style BBQ restaurant completely changed my mind and opened my eyes to a whole new world of regional flavors.

Wu Zhuang Jiangsu & Zhejiang Cuisine at Yitian Holiday Plaza Pingshan, Shenzhen

To be honest, I rarely come to Pingshan. Most of the time, I only come here when my friends bring me, mainly because it’s quite far from the central areas of Shenzhen. Today was no exception—I came here because my bestie brought me along.

Yudu Laowei Seafood Noodles at Zhuoyue Center: A Review of the New Noodle Shop

There’s a new noodle shop on B2 of One Avenue ! When I first noticed the restaurant, I saw “Michelin” featured prominently in its advertising. To be honest, I initially assumed it was just a marketing gimmick. But I later heard that the restaurant has actually received Michelin recognition in Shanghai, which made me curious to see whether it could still live up to that reputation after coming to Guangdong.

🇫🇷French Restaurant in Shenzhen Sungang: Authentic Paris‑Style Dining in the City

Cheryl Kong | 2026-08-29

Shenzhen has no shortage of French restaurants, but I’ve rarely come across one with an atmosphere quite like this. The moment I walked in, I was struck by the romantic and distinctive interior. It felt completely different from the usual French restaurants I’ve visited in the city.

If you’re looking for somewhere to enjoy a date, take beautiful photos, or simply have a relaxing day with friends, this place is definitely worth considering.

📍 Practical Information

Name of the Shop: Je’taime French Cocktail Bistro (Je’taime 热代码 法式鸡尾酒餐吧)

Location: Shop F1‑106, Yongtongchang Central Plaza, Plot 3, Luohu District, Shenzhen

Nearest Metro Station: Hongling North Station (Line 9), Exit J — about 70 meters on foot

Price: ¥100–150 per person

Opening Hours: 11:30–01:00

The restaurant sits inside a large commercial plaza, Yongtongchang Central Plaza. It is so convenient because afteing enjoying a meal, you can stroll around the area. The night view is bright and beautiful, perfect for an evening outing or strolling.

🌸 Environment & Ambience

The atmosphere is truly romantic, almost as if you’ve stepped into a little corner of Paris. The space is divided into a dining area and a bar area, with a double-height ceiling that immediately makes the restaurant feel much more spacious and open.

One detail I particularly noticed was the large mirror behind the bar. It not only makes the space appear bigger, but also adds a touch of elegance and makes the entire restaurant feel more polished.

I especially loved the window-side bar seats. The interior combines lanterns, fabric details, greenery, and warm decorative elements, creating a cozy and slightly vintage atmosphere. Rather than feeling like a typical busy restaurant in the city, it has the charm of a quiet Parisian neighborhood — relaxed, romantic, and very photogenic. 📸💕

🤝 Service Quality

The servers and hosts were friendly. They offered recommendations, checked in on the dishes, and even greeted us warmly when we left.

There was one small thing that made me feel slightly uncomfortable. One of the servers came over twice to ask whether I needed recommendations, even though I had already told her that I would call her when I was ready to order. It wasn’t a serious issue, and she was clearly just trying to be helpful, but I personally prefer to have a little more time to look through the menu before ordering.

Overall, though, the service was warm and attentive.

🍽️ Food Experience

Overall, the dishes has a strong flavor of pepper, while some items were more lightly seasoned. Still, the presentation and preparation showed care and refinement.

🏆 Highly Recommended: Grilled Black Tiger Prawns with Fettuccine

  • Pasta went so well with the rich and flavorful sauce. The staff told us they add their home-made tomato sauce inside, that's why it tastes so good.

  • The prawns were grilled through, slightly dry in texture. (I expected a cheese topping for a sweet‑savory balance, but this one did not have it. 😔)

✔️ French IGP Beef Stew (Red Wine Stew)

  • Prepared using only red wine (I believe that’s a traditional French way of stewing? By the way, I was worried that I might get dizzy because I drove here)

  • The beef was tender and easy to bite, but slightly firm in texture

  • Noticeable herb aroma, with potatoes and carrots absorbing the broth.

  • Overall balanced, but my husband enjoyed it.

✔️ Black Truffle Fried Rice

  • Strong truffle aroma

  • Rice grains separated nicely

  • Includes mushrooms and small beef cubes for added texture

  • Light seasoning with a strong pepper note, but still enjoyable

📚 Overall Impression

The experience was delightful, with beautiful ambience, thoughtfully prepared dishes. Definately a great spot for friends or couples to take photos and enjoy a relaxing meal

The restaurant stays open until late(2 am in the morning), so it is very suitable for night dining. The bar area features an elegant wine display, adding to the upscale feel of the space. There are karaoke spots and other entertainment options nearby, so if you want to have an extended time for your night life, this place can be a good choice.
