Jie Yang Lao Er Guo Tiao Tang

Shenzhen, China; 102A, Dongyuan Building, 7 Dongyuan Road, Futian, Shenzhen, China

Jie Yang Lao Er Guo Tiao Tang represents a part of Shenzhen that deserves equal billing with its tower-top restaurants: the small regional kitchen that builds its reputation through repetition. Open since 1997, this straightforward Futian shop specialises in Chaoshan home cooking, with rice noodles providing the natural starting point for a meal. Kway teow can be ordered fried or in soup. Their soft, elastic texture is central to the experience, so a simple preparation can be as revealing as a more elaborate order. The supporting dishes broaden the picture: blanched duck, duck intestines and pork offal sit alongside seafood such as small cuttlefish and clams. A shared selection allows the table to explore different textures without losing sight of the noodle speciality. The restaurant received a Bib Gourmand in Shenzhen’s inaugural 2026 Michelin selection. Its inclusion in this list rests on local relevance, longevity and a clearly defined culinary purpose. Come for a practical, satisfying meal and a closer look at the Chaoshan traditions that help shape Shenzhen’s exceptionally varied everyday food culture.
