Restaurants in Shenzhen, China

http://www.shenzheneat.com/

Did anyone tried meican.com ? It's a great way to find restaurants that can deliver around you. The website is in chinese, but with Google Translate (translate the whole website) , it really is easy to order food from real chinese restaurants at chinese prices. You've got dozens of choices, usually good prices, and like I said you can use it even if you can't speak chinese ! Just enter your address once, the restaurants around you will pop up on the map & the main page. (and i'm in luohu too btw). Choose your menu, click order and Meican's team will take care of everything !

Pizza Hut deliver but the app i downloaded to my phone doesn't work:(

Jordan's pizza at Coastal Rose 2, Shekou. Nowhere else will you get fresh arugula on your pizza. ＋86 755 2668 6040

Papa John's (400-888-7272), McDonald's (400-851-7517), KFC (400-882-3823) ... all have English speaking operators

Shenzen Eat is great website. Unfortunately they list only 3 restaurants for my area even though there are 1000 in 1 mile radius

nogogo.cn - shenzheneat.com - shekoudaily.com

Nogogo is a great, albeit expensive, online grocery option. http://www.nogogo.cn/

also there is an english version of taobao: baopals.com

Sheraton Dameisha Resort has a great deal on -much better than other hotels - book fast as seats are quickly running out - only 30-40 left!!

He Robin Contact George & Dragon

Take a look at X-TA-SEA.com for upcoming events and specials

Colin, he was asking for something cheaper. The Dameisha Sheraton is 688 net

If you can read some Chinese you can look up dianping.com - there you can filter to location and cuisine....plenty of Dongbei restaurants in Shenzhen.

Thanks everyone! Found a ton grin emoticon http://www.dianping.com/search/category/7/10/g106 q162

Great Donbei restaurant in Shekou http://www.shenzheneat.com/menu.php...

try Element Fresh at Seaworld, Shekou

If you want fine dining, go to HK. Restaurant Caprice or Pierre. Excellent food but you need the cash.

For Chinese my favourite is a very small restaurant next to Dongjiatou metro called Sun Shi Jiao Zi Guan (孙氏饺子馆) - it has a shenzheneat.com sticker on the window, so easy to spot. The lunch buffet at Shark Futian is fantastic, buffet for 68 rmb but you can add a main course (I added the sausage and mash, which was spectacular) and it came to 88 rmb total. Just a couple of suggestions.

Have you tried the Turkish restaurant in HQB? http://www.shenzhenparty.com/place/food-drink/restaurants/mevlana-turkish-restaurant

Blue Frog, Baia both good around Coco park area. Evil Duck and Braceria. Mash and Mambo Mambo near Fumin

I heard Bus Turkish grill is good in Coco Park too

High or low budget? At the slightly higher end, both Shark and Azzurro opposite Coco Park are very good. They are personal favourites of mine. https://www.facebook.com/azzurro.ahi/ https://www.facebook.com/SharkShenzhen/

You can try Xinjiang cuisine ( http://www.shenzhenparty.com/places/food-drink/restaurants/muslim-cuisine-restaurant-yidi-gude ) the settings are quite nice, as well as the food (lamb is a default choice). Another idea, which is never a miss - Beijing duck ( http://www.diningcity.cn/en/shenzhen/restaurant_1949_Duck_de_Chine - rather pricey, though). And you'd better ask your CN colleagues/ friends for the best restaurants with cuisine of their provinces - they would be more then happy to recommend & to guide you.

If you go north to Zhongxiao Xingshen station, there are four locations. My favorite: https://www.google.com.tw/maps/@25.043551,121.531553,3a,75y,343.15h,71.03t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sePteEE1m7e5skTUjL9n9mg!2e0!6m1!1e1?hl=en Number two: https://www.google.com.tw/maps/@25.043642,121.531945,3a,75y,161.59h,75.51t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sRs9BeXN7ngKnmMs0CrY20w!2e0!6m1!1e1?hl=en Number three, though this mainly caters to the business lunch crowd: https://www.google.com.tw/maps/@25.042663,121.531443,3a,75y,199.61h,89.38t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1stt1PNea28QvUwOM7iCDsnw!2e0?hl=en Number four, I have never been to this one though: https://www.google.com.tw/maps/@25.039857,121.531591,3a,75y,218.45h,71.31t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sfUab3f19D6F_G2Vy0ldgaA!2e0?hl=en Next to Da'an park, there are two places, the second floor of a grey building: https://www.google.com.tw/maps/@25.033807,121.5334,3a,75y,119.3h,72.92t/data=!3m5!1e1!3m3!1sjQomftCiETMAAAAGOxjqRQ!2e0!3e2?hl=en There's a Minder across the park: https://www.google.com.tw/maps/@25.028761,121.539075,3a,75y,185.36h,86.42t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sh2hTZLjpawsGCnWGB3-tMw!2e0?hl=en Next to Shida is this place: https://www.google.com.tw/maps/@25.027019,121.528034,3a,75y,289.95h,80.28t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sCNyO5Dz-IyJUW0zoustNOQ!2e0?hl=en There's this place, but I've never been to it before: https://www.google.com.tw/maps/@25.030104,121.52704,3a,75y,203.44h,86.07t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sr_F5ayAHmi-EXh5W6oNRoA!2e0?hl=en This place serves lunches: https://www.google.com.tw/maps/@25.035142,121.527455,3a,75y,111.38h,79.98t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sBJhiu9FbdbZV_uaOwNOiJw!2e0?hl=en One of these stalls right next to the last place sells take-out, but I forget which one it is.

I know that there are some places that I'm missing. There are loads more once you leave the area. (also, Costco sells discounted voucher books to Easyhouse which is in Xinyi and next to the Donghua Eslite, and is also good at Easyhouse America which serves American style vegetarian food in Banqiao and Danshui)

close to exit 4 of the dongment mrt exit is an excellent indian restaurant with a decent vegetarian selection. Sagar is the name. 2F. No. 195. Xinyi Rd.

Taiwan is vegetarian heaven.

Best foreign and maybe overall restaurant I have come across recently is Very Siam in OCAT (back and across street from OCT Loft) which is behind Konka Group, and about 15 min walk from Qiaochengdong metro station

The drinks at Tavern are amazing. I had a Strawberry Mojito there that was amazeballs...and I HATE mojitos! For food, I would have to say George and Dragon. Their breakfast is the best thing outside of Hong Kong (In Hong Kong, go to the Frying Pan at Mid Level Escalators)

Got to agree, HH Gourmet is pretty damn awful, and crazy expensive.

Matthew A Klein, sorry, but I got to remove HH Gourmet from the list. Too many complaints.

I had a fantastic hamburger at Frankie's American Bar and Grille in Futian a couple of weeks ago. I know they've just released a new menu so that could be worth following up if you're prepared to trek for a good feed and high quality beverages. http://frankies-bar.com/

I just discovered a great restaurant called Tasty. It is a steak restaurant, and western style for sure. I can't believe it is so close to where I live and work for 1 1/2 years, and I never eat there. There may be several, but the one I went to is in the World Financial Center in Luohu.I ordered from the Fixed menu, and for 150 yuan, I had Mushroom Soup, A salad with Chicken, Bread with Cheese sauce, a special drink, and a very good steak. Included was desert, and I ordered Tiramisu. It is on Shennan Lu, south side, same building where the Starbucks is. Shennan Lu where it runs under the train tracks. It is across the street from my new office, at 4002 Shennan East Road.

Paulaner Brauhaus in Seaworld is not bad, it serves german food and (obvisouly) beers. Prices are a bit expensive but servings are big. Tip for this restaurant: Dianping app is selling discount coupon for lunch: 100RMB coupon is sold for 60RMB (40% off), can be used weekdays and weekends.

Dapeng Paninsula. Take the E11 bus east 2 hours.

Denis Salmon is your man on this topic

Check Shenzhenparty.com ... They have all info about SZ

Sea World has a lot of fantastic places~

Buffet International from the 5 continents.The four seasons Oyster bar, Address:OCT Bay .qushui street. Ennoy it!

Doors Lounge perfect for eat meat,steak and salads.

Indian Pakistani Restaurent.at Nanyan LU

http://i.zabihah.com/. Search shenzhen. You can find many. Try Turkish or Pakistani/indian food

I am the same--vegetarian but don't mind by-products/eating around the meat in a dish. I have no problems finding food in Shenzhen :) For some reason I've found Jiangnan-style food to have the most vegetarian options on the menu: 1) Grandma's House (外婆家) and Green Tea (绿茶), which has a few locations. They are almost identical, inexpensive with nice atmospheres, and awesome food. However, they always have a long line at dinner time and don't take reservations. 2) 江南味道, I've been to one in MixCity Mall (connected to Grand Theatre station) but there are a few more locations more west. 3) 南小官 (I think the English name is "The Dining Room") in Wongtee Plaza near the Convention & Exhibition Center, also a location in Coco Park, probably more. This one feels a bit like a cafe but always clean and pretty, and probably less of a line. If you want something a bit more formal, there's a really nice specifically vegetarian restaurant/teahouse a friend took me to in Luohu a while back but I can't remember the name. I can ask if you want. Edit: Green Tea actually has a location in Bao'an, closest to Fanshen station!

I've heard good things about this restaurant called Awakening in Futian. Not been there yet so I can't vouch personally though. I've had the address noted down for ages (copied directly from some event page on shenzhenparty), here it is: The West of the 1 st floor, No 83, Building 202, Che Gong Miao Industrial Zone, Futian District, Shenzhen, China (take Subway to Chengongmiao Exit C) 深圳市福田车公庙工业区202栋一楼西侧（地铁c出口，有色大厦后两排，金色年代网吧隔壁）

I'm usually a pretty dedicated carnivore, but I enjoyed the place "云来居素食馆" in Xiangmihu. Tough to find but quite tasty. http://www.dianping.com/shop/524664

I think your search is hopeless: the problem is not the chef, but the quality of the meat itself. Just to say it, the major of Hong Kong buys his family meat in Italy and he gets the shipment weekly... The best meat here is the one you can buy at "Metro", it comes from South America, but it's frozen...

There are lots of good steak restaurants in that area, and places that easily match what you're looking for. The problem is price. I'd recommend Les5 Chefs in Shekou as your first stop as some of their steaks are phenomenal and very reasonable.

Latina SeaWorld has the best meat i tried

Turkish Bus Grill has the best steaks hands down!!!!

Buss Grill, louhu

The Futian Kitchen is the best food in Coco Park.

The Kitchen, Futian

Gypsies or Shark or Baia, all in Sea World, all good:) Gold Coast too.... actually so many! Italian Angelo there is excellent as well.

If you want to eat the best Thai food in Shenzhen, go to Very Siam in Oct loft. Nice place; decor, food and atmosphere are ace. Not the cheapest place, but a good choice. Not far, there is a little noodle shop that converts into a Jazz bar at night...the name escapes me at the moment. It is beside a youth hostel. OCT isn't a big time party place, but if you go to the loft there are so many places to grab a quiet, intimate drink. I personally abhor Coco Park.

@jason - the outdoor jazz club is called Penny Black. Music usually starts around 9 on the weekends.

Shark is Sea World is really nice as well. What is a really good quality Western restaurant in OCT though? I'm always quite confused when I'm there. Places are either empty or don't even look that nice and Western...

Life Kitchen Thai food near chegongmiao station. Recently opened, nice food and nice price.

I prefer to The Mui Ne(美奈小馆) in Guomao Metro Station and Coco Park
