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.

Huaqiangbei Thai Boat Noodles|Authentic Flavors, Signature Beef Noodles & Cozy Dining Experience

Cheryl Kong | 2026-09-20

Some people say there’s a delicious Thai boat noodle shop hidden in Huaqiangbei. The reviews, however, are mixed. Since I’ve never been to Thailand myself, I can’t be sure how authentic the dishes are. So today, I decided to let my taste buds be the judge of whether these noodles are truly worth the hype.

📍 Practical Information

Name of the Restaurant: Thai Zai Boat Noodles(泰仔船面)

Location: A1065, No.135 Zhenhua Road, Futian District, Shenzhen

Nearest Metro Station: Exit E2 of Huaqiangbei Metro Station (Line 2), about 300 meters on foot.

Price: ¥50 per person

Opening Hours: 11:00–22:00

🌲 Environment

The shop isn’t very large, but it stands out compared to nearby places.With rough gray walls decorated by colorful paintings, it instantly gives off a cozy, artsy vibe.

There are wall‑side seats and square tables, though it can feel a bit crowded when busy.

🍜 Food Experience

I ordered the single‑person set meal, which cost about 54RMB💰.

🏆 Signature Beef Boat Noodles

From the moment it arrived, you could tell the ingredients were carefully prepared. It included beef slices, crispy pork skin, beef balls, beef brisket, chives, and fried garlic 🧄.

The presentation was so refined, and the broth was rich, sweet, and flavorful. You can sip the soup first, then adjust the taste to your liking with sugar, vinegar, or fish sauce. The noodles were perfectly chewy, making the dish truly satisfying 💖.

🏆 Lemongrass Chicken Wings

Crispy on the outside, tender inside, and mouth‑watering 🤤. The lemongrass flavor reveals itself as you chew, leaving a fragrant aftertaste.

The set also included a refreshing iced cola 🥤, perfect for balancing the richness.

📚 Overall Impression

Overall, I found the flavors impressive, especially the rich and fragrant broth of the boat noodles. Since I haven’t been to Thailand myself, I can’t say how authentic they are, but I personally really enjoyed the meal. 😋

It’s a nice option if you’re looking for Thai-style food in Huaqiangbei, whether you want to grab a meal after work or meet up with friends.

The service was attentive too. For example, when another customer asked for extra soup, the staff happily provided it.

If you happen to be passing through Huaqiangbei and feel like trying some Thai-style boat noodles, this place is worth considering.
