A Flavor‑Packed Hotpot Experience with Nine‑Grid Platters and Exceptional Service in Shenzhen

This was my first time seeing a hotpot restaurant offering such an incredibly rich variety of ingredients. We ordered the clear broth pot, which came with mushrooms, tomatoes, and cucumber. It looked so appetizing the moment it arrived. Although this restaurant is known for its traditional spicy hotpot, the clear broth turned out to be surprisingly delicious as well.

I finally got to try Mr. Wildman’s ice cream ! The reason why it is 'famous', is the price. If you don't use any discount, one ice cream can cost you 38 RMB, which is wild because is about the same price as those luxury ice cream brand.

Crispy‑Skin Chicken Pot in Shenzhen Luohu-Delicious Stone Olive Soup Near Luohu Station

Cheryl Kong | 2026-05-07

😇Time for an incredibly delicious fresh chicken soup pot near Luohu Metro Station, the flavour is a surprise !

📍 Located on the 4th floor of Great China Maoye Tiandi (right opposite Hotel Shangri‑La)

🚇 Exit E2 of Luohu Station, Metro Line 1

🕐 Opening Time:Monday–Sunday 10:30–22:30

🌲 Environment

The restaurant is filled with a warm, tropical South‑China vibe.Bright lighting, spacious seating, and soft‑cushioned chairs make it very comfortable to sit and enjoy a long meal.

💁 Service

The service here is genuinely excellent.One of the staff members was especially passionate — she even helped us cook the chicken in the pot.She also explained which sauces were spicier and asked whether we needed extra condiments.

🍲 Dining Experience

Although the restaurant is known for its coconut chicken,today we tried the Stone Olive Soup Base with Crispy‑Skin Chicken Pot 🫒.

You can mix your own dipping sauce: scallions, cilantro, chili paste, and more.There are also refreshing appetizers like pickled radish and marinated wood ear mushrooms. They even have a poster telling you how to mix a good sauce.

The restaurant divides the best cuts into five plates. They will tell you how to cook chicken to a perfect texture(usually 15 seconds is enough). I really love the crispy skin and tender meat, the freshness brings out the sweetness, and it was chewy. The bottom plate includes chicken kidneys and tiny chicken eggs. The kidneys were especially flavorful .

We thought the portion looked small at first, but by the third plate we were already getting full (that's why we recommend ordering a plate of vegetables)

To finish, you can cook Hainan rice noodles. They soften in about 30 seconds. They were smooth, lightly sweet, and perfect for balancing the richness of the broth.

📖 Overall Review

Overall, the experience was fantastic.The dishes are genuinely delicious and absolutely worth coming back for.It’s right outside Luohu Station and very close to Hong Kong, super convenient for anyone passing through.
