Phoenix House

Top choice in Shenzhen


This is one of the most popular Cantonese chains in town, so expect noisy waits for a table after 11.30am. Must-try dim sum here are the sweet durian puffs (榴莲酥, liúlián sū) and chén cūn fěn (陈村粉), a speciality from the Guangdong foodie heartland of Shunde County, consisting of rice roll sheets steamed with pork and gravy.
