If seafood is your thing, Leyuan Road will be your heaven. This street is lined with seafood restaurants, and is busy every night of the week. The food is fresh (you can see it alive and kicking before it’s on your plate), and the prices are reasonable. The restaurants here display their menu items in tanks and cages on the side of the street, and walking the length of the street provides excellent insight into what the Cantonese consider to be edible. Aside from the astounding array of freaky critters from the deep, there are also insects, rabbits, pheasants and snakes, all waiting for the chop. Most of the restaurants here are of a similar standard, but the Golden Luohu Hotel and the Hua Cheng Yi Hong are the largest and busiest.
Leyuan Road runs north off Shennan East Road. It is within walking distance of Dong Men. Bus nos. 2, 29 and 205 will take you there. The closest Metro stops are Guo Mao and Lao Jie.

The Old Northern Restaurant (Lao Beifang Canguan) is where people from China’s northern provinces go to get a taste of home in Luohu district. Highly recommended are the jiucai hezi (thick pancakes filled with chives), yi gou chu (a large pan of green beans, pork ribs, potatoes and corn bread), liang cai (Chinese-style spicy salad) and goubao rou (sweet stir-fried pork in batter). A hearty meal for two here can be got for less than RMB100. The only downside is that the chefs can sometimes take the Northerners' love of salt to an extreme.
The Old Northern Restaurant is on a corner on Dongmen Middle Road opposite
Dongmen Walking-Street(there is a large Bank of China on the corner).

The cuisine of the three provinces that comprise the Northeast of China, known as Dongbei, like the people of this region, is unique and to be found all over the country. Ah You serves up some of the most authentic Dongbei dishes in Shenzhen and they do it in true Dongbei style i.e. it is inexpensive and unpretentious. Stewed chunky green beans, pork ribs and corn, stir-fried glass noodles and celery, and spicy salads are among the Dongbaei favourites available here. Cornbread, jiaozi (Chinese dumplings) and a variety of mantou (steamed bread) are integral to any Dongbei dining experience. A meal for two will cost less than RMB100. The menu is in Chinese with pictures.

Ah You Dongbei Cuisine is on the last street that runs off Dongmen South Road when heading south. This road connects Dongmen South Road with Yanhe Road (and seems to be unworthy of a name). Tell the taxi driver to take you to the Donfang Jiayou Zhan (Dongfang Petrol Station) on Yanhe Road. Ah You is opposite this and behind the Lao Difang Jiudian. Bus nos. 2, 5, 14 and 17 stop on Dongmen South Road.
Xinjiang Restaurant

The imaginatively named Xinjiang Restaurant is the best eatery on a strip of restaurants that serve the Uighur minority cuisine. The Uighurs, one of China's 56 recognized minorities, hail from the northwestern region of China formerly known as Turkestan. It is also the official restaurant of the Xinjiang Uighur Minority Special Autonomous Region Government’s representative office in Shenzhen, so it must be good.
Uighur cuisine is similar to that found in Central Asian countries and relies heavily on roast mutton, noodles, naan bread and chili. Food is prepared and cooked according to Islamic custom. The Xinjiang Restaurant is as good an example of it as you will find this far from Urumqi. The food they serve is authentic, typical and tastes even better washed down with Xinjiang black beer. A meal for two will cost about RMB70 - 120. The menu is in Chinese but also has pictures.

The Xinjiang Restaurant is at the end of a strip of restaurants on Chunfeng Road, just east of the intersection with Wenjin Road. Bus nos. 5 and 14 stop near here and a taxi from the Luo Hu border crossing will cost about RMB15.

Tucked away in a leafy area of quiet streets near Shekou Port, the Red Rooster is a fine bar with ample seating space, a pool table, sports channels and a secluded beer garden. They have a special on Tsingtao draught with the first large (frozen) mug costing RMB20 and each mug thereafter decreasing in price until the fifth will only set you back RMB5. From there on every mug costs RMB5 so, in one way, the more you drink the more money you are saving. They also serve decent bar food. The burger is a proper filler by anyone’s standards. They could invest in a few more CD’s but Red Rooster, whether it’s your starting point for a night on the town or a base for a lazy Sunday afternoon, still comes in as a charmer.
Red Rooster is in between Shekou Port and Seaworld. From the port head along the alley going northeast. When you pass the entrance of the Nanhai Hotel you will see the sign for the Red Rooster.

Tairyo has to be one of the most successful Japanese restaurants in China. They have outlets all over the country. The two in Shenzhen are of the same standard as those in other cities. The menu mostly consists of items to be grilled on the hot plate but also includes sushi, sashimi and other Japanese dishes. The best deal here is the RMB150 buffet, which includes alcohol. Customers can sit at the hot plate and watch their fillet steaks being grilled or for a more private evening choose a table and have their orders brought to them. Japanese food lovers, curious novices, those yearning for good red meat at affordable prices and anyone excited by the idea of unlimited beer and sake will get a kick out of this place. On weekends it is best to book ahead.
