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.

Yunnan‑Style Claypot Rice Noodles in Shenzhen Dongmen: Authentic Guanguan Noodles With 20+ Toppings

Cheryl Kong | 2026-09-06

You don’t have to go all the way to Yunnan to try claypot rice noodles anymore!

Here in Shenzhen, you can try this unusual style of rice noodles for yourself. I came across this new restaurant in Dongmen and decided to give it a try.

📍 Practical Information

Name of the Shop: 茶马右岸·云南罐罐米线 Cha Ma Right Bank · Yunnan Claypot Rice Noodles

Location: 深圳市罗湖区永新街59号(1234后门斜对面);No. 59 Yongxin Street, Luohu District, Shenzhen (diagonally opposite the back gate of Shopping mall 1234)

Nearest Metro Station: Laojie Station (Line 1), Exit D

Price: ¥30 per person

Opening Hours: 07:30–23:00

✨️ Even at around 8 PM, there were still plenty of people eating inside, so I decided to give it a try.

The seating area isn’t very spacious, and I found the individual seats a little tight.

🌱 As soon as you walk in, you’ll see more than 20 types of toppings and condiments laid out in front of you, including mint leaves, celery, zhe’ergen (fish mint), fermented bean curd, and more.

🍽️ What I Ordered

✅ Mujiangzi Rice Noodles (Mild Spicy)

Although the menu labels this as “mild spicy,” the ginger-like flavor of mujiangzi was extremely strong. As someone from Guangdong, I personally found it a little overwhelming. The heat was simply too much for me!

The ingredients were generous and the flavors were quite rich. The bowl came with tomato, mujiangzi, minced meat, mint leaves, rice noodles, and more.

If you enjoy bold, spicy Yunnan-style flavors, you might find this much more enjoyable than I did.

✅ Wolf‑Tooth Shaped Potatoes

These were well-seasoned, crispy, and very appetizing. However, they also contained Sichuan peppercorn, which gives you that characteristic numbing sensation on your tongue.

Personally, I don’t mind a little bit of that numbing sensation, but if you’re not used to it, you might want to be prepared! 😆

✅ Ice Jelly

I honestly wasn’t sure why this came topped with sesame seeds. As someone from Guangdong, the combination felt a little unusual to me, and I didn’t find the flavor particularly memorable.

Overall, I’d say this one was just average.

📚 Overall Experience

Overall, the food is flavorful, the portions are generous, and it’s definitely worth trying if you enjoy strong Yunnan-style seasonings. For me personally, though, it was a little too spicy, so it’s not something I would revisit.

One more thing: I wouldn’t recommend coming here when you’re already feeling hot, especially in the summer. The rice noodles are served really hot, and by the time you finish eating, you’ll probably be sweating quite a bit! 🥵

If you’re just visiting Shenzhen as a tourist for a short trip, I probably wouldn’t put this on your must-try list. But if you’re staying in Shenzhen for a while and want to try something different from the usual local food, this could be a fun and relatively unusual option to explore.

🧑‍⚖️Final verdict:

Food ⭐⭐⭐½

Atmosphere⭐⭐⭐⭐

Service ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Value ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Overall ⭐⭐⭐½
