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.

Why Guimanlong in Shenzhen Is Always Packed: Big Portions, Good Prices and Crowd‑Favorite Dishes

Cheryl Kong | 2026-09-20

Guimanlong has become incredibly popular lately. I’ve visited several of their branches, and almost every time the restaurant is packed with customers. Today, I finally had the chance to sit down with friends and experience it for myself!

📍 Practical Information

Name of the Restaurant: Guimanlong(桂满陇)

Location: 深圳市龙岗区坂田万科广场5层07-09号铺;Shop 07–09, 5th Floor, Vanke Plaza Bantian, Longgang District, Shenzhen

Nearest Metro Station: Bantian Station, Exit D — 140 meters on foot

Price: ¥80 per person

Opening Hours: 11:00–21:30

🪴 Environment

Guimanlong’s interior design is highly recognizable. The entire space is filled with lush greenery, showcasing a classic Lingnan aesthetic 👒.It’s visually soothing, comfortable, and spacious—perfect for gatherings with friends or family 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧.

🍲 Food Experience

We were a group of four and ordered a double set meal, plus a few extra dishes—but we couldn’t finish everything 🤣.(Since it’s been a while, I’ve forgotten some of the dish names.)

🏆 Three‑Delicacy Pot(三鲜锅)

When you dine at a Chinese restaurant and see the word Sanxian (三鲜) on the menu, it usually means the dish will include a mix of several ingredients. This one was packed with pork skin, fresh shrimp, egg dumplings, clams, meatballs, and vegetables. The broth was sweet and refreshing, cutting through any heaviness, and everyone finished it very quickly for the tastiness.

🏆 Salted Egg Yolk Chicken Wings

Crispy on the outside, tender inside, and full of flavor.The salted egg yolk coating on the skin was delicious.The dish also came with plum‑powder fries—sweet, tangy, and very enjoyable 👍.

🍗 Roast Chicken

It was juicy and piping hot, with meat that was wonderfully tender. The staff even helped tear it apart, making it easier to enjoy.

🦐 Tea‑Leaf Shrimp

The shrimp heads were filled with rich roe, which is my favorite part. Because they were simmered with tea leaves, the shrimp carried a subtle, fragrant tea aroma that made the dish a must‑try.

🐟 Jiang White Fish

For me, it was a bit of a pity—there were too many bones. The fish itself was fresh and flavorful, but we still couldn’t finish the dish. That’s one of the downsides of set meals: they often include a few items you may not particularly enjoy.

🥬 Okra & a Bowl of Lai Fun (I think)

Both were quite standard. We were already too full, so the lai fun remained basically untouched 🤣.

📚 Overall Experience

Overall, Guimanlong has been a restaurant that I’ve consistently enjoyed visiting. The dishes are generally good, and the flavors are relatively light overall. Although there are a few items that I personally wouldn’t order again, the overall experience has always been quite satisfying.

We even brought our family here again, and everyone enjoyed the meal. For me, it’s a reliable choice when you’re looking for a place to have a meal with friends or family, especially when you want a variety of dishes to share. 💕
