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.

Loi Kee Chicken Hot Pot Shenzhen Review|Signature Clay Pot Chicken, Chicken Fat Rice & Must‑Try Dishes

Cheryl Kong | 2026-09-20

I have to say, this unassuming chicken clay pot restaurant turned out to be surprisingly impressive! ❗️

At first glance, it looked like an ordinary chicken pot restaurant. But once I stepped inside, I noticed several diners from Hong Kong already seated there, and they seemed to be regulars who had visited more than once. That immediately made me curious about the food.

📍 Practical Information

Name of the Restaurant:Loikee Chicken Pot(来记鸡煲)

Location: 深圳市福田区南园街道东园路27号台湾花园1楼;1st Floor, Taiwan Garden, No.27 Dongyuan Road, Nanyuan Subdistrict, Futian District, Shenzhen

Nearest Metro Station: Hongling South Station — 300 meters from Exit E

Price: ¥90 per person

Opening Hours: 11:00–14:00, 17:00–02:00

👍 And indeed, this is easily one of the best chicken clay pot restaurants I’ve tried so far.

🍲 Food Experience

🏆 Signature Half‑Chicken Clay Pot

The chicken had a very rich, natural chicken flavor. 👍 The texture was firm yet tender, and it tasted like high-quality Qingyuan chicken to me. Even the plain white meat was delicious.

The color, aroma, and taste were all spot-on. The chicken had a beautiful glossy appearance, making it look incredibly appetizing. The seasoning was just savory and well-balanced.

Although it was only half a chicken, the portion was surprisingly generous. Two people almost couldn’t finish it.

Toward the end, you can add water to cook luncheon meat and vegetables 🥬. I highly recommend the romaine lettuce—once it absorbs the chicken juices, it becomes incredibly sweet and aromatic.

🏆 Rice Covered with Chicken Fat

This was my first time trying this kind of rice, and it was surprisingly rich and flavorful. There were tiny pieces of mushroom 🍄 mixed in, and the rice itself was soft and fragrant.

However, because the rice is cooked entirely with chicken fat, it did start to feel a little heavy toward the end.

🏠 Environment & Service

The staff were very warm and friendly. One of the young female staff members was particularly polite and attentive. She even explained the reason for a slight delay in serving our dishes, which I appreciated.

However, there was one thing that I personally found quite unpleasant. When one of the owner leaned over to serve us, her clothes came into direct contact with the luncheon meat on our table. Since this is something I’m quite particular about, we only ate the remaining slices afterward.

The air conditioning was quite strong, so you definitely won’t end up sweating halfway through your meal. 🥵 The seating was comfortable, and the décor was vibrant and eye-catching, making the overall dining experience pleasant.

📚 Overall Experience

I genuinely recommend this place. 🏆 The chicken was exceptionally delicious—not overly salty or dry like some chicken pot dishes can be. You can really appreciate the firm texture of the meat, especially when biting into the pieces near the bone.

There was one unfortunate incident in which the owner's clothes came into contact with the luncheon meat while she was serving us. Although I was personally quite bothered by it, I also understand that it was an accident, and I don’t think it takes away from the overall quality of the food.

Despite that, I would still sincerely recommend this restaurant. 💖 It’s a great option for a meal with friends or family, especially if you enjoy chicken dishes and want something hearty and flavorful.

Their sauna chicken also looked really tempting. If I get the chance, I’d definitely like to try it next time.
