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.

Japanese‑Style Omurice at MixC World Shenzhen: Comfort Food & DIY Ice Cream

Cheryl Kong | 2026-09-06

Looking for something comforting for your first meal back at work in Shenzhen after the holiday? How about a Japanese-style meal with crispy pork cutlet, creamy mentaiko mayo, and unlimited DIY ice cream?

This restaurant really caught my attention today, and I honestly have to recommend it if you happen to be around this area.

📍 Practical Information

  • Name of the Shop: OMU Handmade Curry Omurice (MixC World) OMU手作咖喱蛋包饭(万象天地)

  • Location: 深圳市南山区华润万象天地北区LG层NLG14商铺(大象鼻子前面的楼梯下去美食广场)NLG14, LG Floor, North Zone of MixC World, Nanshan District, Shenzhen(Down the stairs in front of the elephant‑nose sculpture, inside the food court)

  • Opening Hours:

🌲Environment

🥳 The shop itself isn’t very big, but it’s clean and cozy. The staff were friendly and attentive, and they were always happy to help.

🍽️ Food Experience

But the most impressive part is their food. I tried their single‑person set meal, which includes:

🏆 Mentaiko Pork Cutlet Rice

The portion was surprisingly generous, with a good amount of mentaiko mayo spread over the golden, crispy fried pork cutlet.

There were also crispy seaweed strips underneath the pork cutlet, which added another layer of texture. The combination of the crunchy cutlet, creamy mentaiko mayo, and seaweed made every bite rich and flavorful 👍 The rice was soft and well-cooked, and the whole dish was quite filling. In fact, I was really full by the end of the meal!

🏆 Miso Soup

The miso soup contained red and white radish, along with several pieces of meat. Compared with the main dish, the soup was much lighter and more refreshing. It was a nice balance to the rich pork cutlet and mentaiko mayo.

✅ Appetizer

There were several appetizers to choose from, and I went with white radish and kelp. They had a nice savory flavor and definitely helped whet my appetite before the main dish.

The only thing I wasn't particularly impressed with was the seaweed. There wasn't as much as I expected, and it was a little too dry and crunchy.

🏆 DIY Ice Cream

After your meal, you can enjoy ice cream with unlimited refills ❗️

There’s also a small topping station where you can customize your ice cream with:

  • Dried strawberries 🍓

  • Chocolate bits

  • Crushed peanuts 🥜

  • Mini cones

  • Chocolate sauce

  • Blueberry sauce

  • Strawberry sauce

You can mix and match your toppings however you like, which makes the dessert feel more like a little DIY activity than just a free dessert.

It’s simple, but honestly, super fun and satisfying 🥳

📚 Overall Experience

If you’re looking for a casual and satisfying meal at MixC World, OMU is a nice option. The tasty food and the unlimited DIY ice cream is a definately go-to if you are looking for a meal with great value.

It works particularly well for couples, friends, or coworkers who want a relaxed meal without spending too much.
