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.

Local Hidden Lamb Restaurant in Shenzhen — 24‑Hour Comfort Food with Generous Portions

Cheryl Kong | 2026-08-23

I’ve lived in Luohu for more than 20 years, yet I only recently discovered this local lamb restaurant that seems to be known only by longtime Shenzhen residents, and it quickly became my go‑to spot for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for three days straight. It’s incredibly convenient for busy workers, and the fact that it’s open 24 hours makes it even better.

Originally, we stopped by because my partner was feeling unwell and needed something nourishing. We didn’t expect to get “trapped” here — in the best way possible — because the food turned out to be flavorful, comforting, and generously portioned.

📍 Practical Information

Name of the Shop:羊妈妈羊汤馆(Yang Mama Lamb Soup Restaurant)

Location: 深圳市罗湖区解放路3034号(电影大厦楼下);No. 3034 Jiefang Road, Luohu District, Shenzhen (underneath the Movie Building)

Nearest Metro Station: 1号线老街地铁站步行800米;Laojie Station, Line 1 — about 800 meters on foot

Price: ¥40 per person

Opening Hours: 24 hours

🏆Lamb Offal Soup — Rich, Warming, and Satisfying

The lamb offal soup is another dish you absolutely shouldn’t miss.Priced at 35 RMB, it includes a variety of lamb offal pieces that are tender and flavorful, along with some vermicelli. One bowl of soup instantly warms you from the inside out.

Lamb Buns — A Must‑Try Signature Item

The lamb buns are the highlight, priced at just ¥6 each. Interestingly, the flavor can vary depending on when you visit. In the morning, the lamb flavor is more pronounced and fresh, while in the afternoon, the gaminess tends to be milder and the aroma of cooking wine becomes more noticeable. The buns are juicy, savory, and generously filled with lamb and scallions, with an irresistible aroma.

In Summary, the lamb flavor can sometimes be quite strong, and the filling can be a little salty. So while I definitely recommend trying them if you're curious, I'd suggest treating them as a “try it once” kind of dish rather than something I'd necessarily order every time.

Cantonese Braised Pork Rice — Surprisingly Good

Their rice bowls are huge and come with generous toppings.The Cantonese‑style braised pork rice was unexpectedly delicious. It was rich, savory, and fatty without being greasy, and quickly became one of my personal favorites.

Other Dishes — Simple but Decent

We also tried the Qingke pancake, fried dough sticks, soy milk, and the braised lamb rice.These items were fairly standard though, we tried it once for breakfast but didn't consider for a second try.

🌲Environment and Convenient Takeaway Options

The restaurant looks clean, tidy, and well‑maintained. They also offer takeaway, with a display full of braised dishes, buns, soy milk, fried dough sticks, and more. They all look very tempting from outside of the window.

🛎️Friendly and Attentive Service

The service was warm and thoughtful.When I dropped my chopsticks, the staff immediately brought a new pair.They offer both room‑temperature and reheated buns, depending on your preference. When packing food to go, they always ask what additional items you might need.

📚Overall Experience

This restaurant is absolutely worth visiting. The flavors are satisfying, the portions are generous, and the service is excellent. It easily outperforms many well‑known restaurants in the Dongmen commercial area.
