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.

Hidden Cantonese Gem in Sea World Shenzhen — Must‑Try Mung Bean Soup and Classic Dishes

Cheryl Kong | 2026-08-23

A Cantonese restaurant in Sea World worth a visit. One bowl of mung bean soup was enough to win me over completely. What truly impressed me was how consistently good the food was. Each dish had its own character, and the flavors felt genuinely Cantonese rather than simply being adapted for a more commercial taste.

📍 Practical Information

Name of the Shop:如意四季餐厅(RuYiSiJi Restaurant)

Location: 深圳市南山区蛇口街道振兴大道D座101-102号;

Nearest Metro Station: 2号线海上世界地铁站C口步行50米

Price: ¥90 per person

Opening Hours: 11:00–22:30

🏆The mung bean soup

This mung bean soup is an absolute must-try. What really stood out to me was the texture. The mung beans were cooked until wonderfully soft and creamy, with that slightly grainy, almost sandy texturethat Cantonese people really appreciate in a good mung bean soup.

But the real highlight was the taste of lemon and dried tangerine peel. Their bright, citrusy aroma added a surprisingly refreshing twist to the soup, cutting through the sweetness and giving it a clean, lingering finish. It was such a simple addition, but it really brought the whole dessert together. 🍋

🏆The Chaozhou preserved radish omelette

It was another highlight. My partner said it tasted exactly like the version from his childhood. The combination of scallions, preserved radish, and rich egg aroma made it incredibly nostalgic and satisfying.

🏆The scallion peanut‑oil chicken

This one was prepared using the best cuts — mainly thigh and tender dark meat. The chicken tasted fresh, with a bright color and a juicy texture. The scallion oil was well absorbed into the meat, giving it both fragrance and depth.

🏆The handmade rice noodles tossed in peanut oil

This is a traditional Cantonese noodle. You must try this noodle topped generously with sesame and crushed peanuts. The savory flavor was well balanced, and as a Guangdong local, I found it genuinely delicious.

We also tried the fish head tofu soup, which is reportedly only available in the evenings. The soup included tofu and kelp, and my partner enjoyed it so much he finished an entire bowl — which left him almost too full for the rest of the meal.

📚Overall

I highly recommend this restaurant. None of the dishes disappointed, and the flavors were consistently enjoyable. It’s easy to see why so many reviewers say they would return.

The dining space is large, bright, and comfortable, with high ceilings and wide spacing between tables — ideal for gatherings of all kinds. The service was also excellent, with staff members patiently helping us with dishes and checking in on our needs.

If you’re visiting Sea World, this is definitely a place worth trying.
