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.

Seaside Restaurant on Shenzhen Yantian Coastal Walkway: Scenic Port‑View Dining Near Haishan Street

Cheryl Kong | 2026-08-26

⚠️ Attention: This shop has permanently changed its name(from 1881 Music Retaurant to Yan Sea · Seaview Restaurant (盐Sea·海景餐厅)) and is now operating as a full-service restaurant. However, its dessert and drink options are still available.

If you happen to be walking along this beautiful coastal walkway in Yantian, I’d definitely recommend stopping by this restaurant for a drink, dessert, or a casual bite. The biggest attraction here is definately the setting. You can enjoy your food while looking out over Yantian Port and then take a relaxing walk along the seaside afterward.(I highly recommend comming here during daytime for better view.)

📍 Practical Information

Name of the Shop: Yan Sea · Seaview Restaurant (盐Sea·海景餐厅)

Location: Room 00DT, Block JGD (East Side), Seaview Road Coastal Walkway, Haishan Street, Yantian District, Shenzhen

Nearest Metro Station: Haishan Station, Exit B — about 700 meters on foot

Price: ¥30–60 per person for drinks and desserts

Opening Hours: 11:00–22:00


After having some drinks elsewhere and getting a little bit drunk, we stopped by to take a break and explore the area. We were feeling thirsty, so we decided to walk in and grab something casual. I didn't have particularly high expectations, but the mojito turned out to be a pleasant surprise.

🍹The mojito and cofffe ☕️

The mojito wasn't overly sweet, but it was crisp and refreshing, perfect for quenching our thirst after walking around. It was exactly the kind of drink that works well in a seaside setting.

The coffee was a little underwhelming. It wasn't bad, but compared with the mojito, it definitely wasn't the highlight of our visit.

🍕Pizza

The pizza has a thin crust. Crispy on the bottom and soft on top. The cheese is rich and flavorful, and when combined with the sweetness of the pineapple, it tastes really delicious.

🌟 The Highlight

For me, the biggest reason to visit isn't necessarily the food, it's the location and atmosphere.

  • 🏖️ The windows and outdoor seating offer a direct view of Yantian Port.

  • 🪟 The interior has a charming vintage-romantic atmosphere that feels very different from a typical casual restaurant.

  • 🌊 After your meal, you can simply step outside and take a relaxing walk along the coastal walkway.

💁‍♂️Service

We were basically the last customers to arrive, but the waiter still welcomed us and prepared food for us. He did let us know that, at that hour, the only food he could still offer was pizza.

What impressed me was that he was handling almost everything himself: taking care of the bar, preparing the food, and serving customers. Despite that, he remained friendly and attentive throughout our visit. He definitely deserves some credit for that. 👍

📚 Overall Experience

Overall, this is the kind of place I would recommend more for the atmosphere and location than for the food itself.

The drinks are refreshing, the pizza is enjoyable, and the service was good. But what really makes this place special is being able to sit by the window or outside, look toward Yantian Port, and then continue your walk along the coast.

If you're already visiting Yantian's Coastal Walkway, it's definitely worth stopping by for a drink.
