Fán Lóu

Top choice in Shenzhen


Excellent dim sum is served in square steamer baskets at this friendly and highly affordable restaurant. The tick-box picture menu is Chinese only; a simple payment key using Chinese characters denotes how much each dish costs. Note the mandatory ¥6 per person zuò fèi (sitting fee), which includes your choice of tea – pǔ'ěr (fermented tea from Yúnnán) is traditional.
