Guangxi-Style BBQ in Shenzhen: Unique Grilled Beef Skewers & Sweet-and-Sour Noodles

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.

New Saizeriya Dishes to Try in Shenzhen: Affordable Baked Abalone, Mussels & Garlic Clam Pasta

Cheryl Kong | 2026-09-19

To be honest, Saizeriya is practically a champion of affordable dining. The value for money is hard to beat.

Sometimes, you can even get unlimited drinks for just RMB 7, which means you can sit there for hours without spending much. That’s probably one of the reasons Saizeriya has become such a popular choice for people looking for an affordable place to eat, hang out, or simply spend some time with friends.

So whenever Saizeriya releases new dishes, many people are eager to go and try them. And of course, I’m no exception. 😂

📍 Practical Information

Name of the Restaurant: Saizeriya (萨莉亚)Location: Basement Level 1, Maoye Department Store, Dongmen Middle Road, Luohu District, ShenzhenNearest Metro Station: Shaibu Road Station, Exit D3 — 200 meters on footPrice: ¥40 per personOpening Hours: 10:00–22:00

🌲Environment

As for the environment, the restaurant is generally a little dim, which gives it a more casual and relaxed feel. However, getting to this particular branch is not very convenient. The B1 level of Maoye Department Store can only be accessed through a narrow staircase, and there’s no escalator, which can be a bit inconvenient, especially if you’re carrying shopping bags or have mobility issues.

New Menu Experience

🌱 Herb & Olive Baked Abalone — 21 RMB

The abalones are on the smaller side, with only four pieces, but they’re incredibly fragrant after being baked. They come out piping hot, so I’d recommend letting them cool down for a little while before eating.

The combination of herbs and abalone tastes fresh and aromatic, and a squeeze of lemon makes it even more refreshing.

🐚 Baked Mussels

The baked mussels were also very good. They’re served with lemon, and the flavor is clean and natural — almost like eating them straight from the sea.

🍝 Garlic Clam & Vegetable Pasta

It may anger Italians, but it tastes great, and it’s only RMB 13.

The combination of clams, Chinese flowering cabbage, and creamy sauce sounds a little strange at first, but somehow, it really works. The garlic flavor is especially strong and aromatic, and they give you a generous amount of clams as well.

📚 Overall Review

The new dishes are quite enjoyable. They also have new desserts, but I’ll have to try those next time.

Honestly, with prices like these, what more could you ask for? You can have a filling meal, try several different dishes, and even enjoy unlimited drinks without spending much.

That’s probably why Saizeriya remains such a popular choice when people don’t know what to eat or simply want somewhere affordable to sit and relax. And whenever a new menu comes out, there’s always a reason to go back and see what they’ve added.
