I am visiting one of my favorite restaurants in Shenzhen. It is called Green tea, it is part of a chain so you can find it in the major Chinese cities. This one in particular is located in Coco Park, Futian district.
The food is from a city called Hangzhou, very delicious!
I am showing how convenient it is nowadays to check the menu, order food and pay the bill, all with the mobile phone throughout the "almighty" Wechat app.
Come and discover with me this nice restaurant with delicious food!
Love China from Sri Lanka
👍🏽
Most Chinese restaurants have private rooms if you don't like the noise.
True
Haha, yes in China we always let the elders or people with higher positions to order dishes and pay dinner as well😂
Haha yes! I forgot to mention that the ones who orders will also pay 😆 thanks for the comment!
You deserve more followers. Nice and clean video and voice.
Thanks a lot!
Hi from Napa, California. Your videos are wonderful and very well shot. I also wish we can have those great Chinese food here too.
I've been to the same restaurant but in Beijing. I liked it there, it was more quiet then maybe because there were fewer people and there was calming music in the background. I loved the food especially the barbecue, the dessert and drinks ☺️
I really love the QR code scanning to order and pay- so convenient.
When I was in Hangzhou, I used to go to this restaurant! Thank u for sharing!
It’s a really good restaurant!
its very true that chinese restaurant is noisy but its fine with me because you can see that they are happy chatting. i myself dont like so many ettiquete and protocol i just like to do what i feel and thats freedom for me
Very helpful!! Greatest video!
Thanks!
Like your life video, thanks for showing China positively !
Talking lound and laughing lound is a positive thing in China culture. It means life is vibrant and vivid.
Agree.. I like it!
Looks delicious, yummy.
It was!
In my mind, if you are having a meal with colleagues or friends that are not very close, it is true (sadly) that basically only one person will place the order. But when I go out with my family or my closest friends we will discuss the dishes together and make sure everyone gets the food he wants. And we normally do that with one menu which is checked by everyone. 😄
haha yes, sometimes I still want to check the menu but I have for the other people to finish checking it first 😆
As a Chinese, to be honest. When we eat outside, when we order food. We will ask the others what food want to eat. I just wanna say your boss probably rude. Or he is your boss. Haha. When friends or family. We really ask them what food they wanna eat. Then we share food. That is true.
Yes. It is true. But when your eat with your boss, usually she/he is supposed to be the one to order AND pay. She/he may or may not ask suggestions from others.
Anyhow I always like to be asked for suggestions haha. But when I am with my friends and colleagues, they always ask me!
Love China From USA
nice video, good editing I like the subtitle format you have used as well
Thanks!
Love it!!
Thank you!!
I will go to that place. Haven’t been there!
Recommended!! They have in Houhai, Luohu, Coco Park and BaoAn
Recommended+1!! I used to go to this restaurant in Houhai before COVID-19 when the borders were open! Miss the food! Longjing tea shrimp is my favorite, for the shrimps are fresh and refreshing! Tofu with crab roe is also great! My boyfriend loves "面包诱惑"(bread's attraction) most. I think the restaurant brand originates from Suzhou and Hangzhou in eastern coastal China, where people don't eat much spicy food.
Yes, from Hangzhou. I hope you guys can come back soon! Thanks for watching!
I order the food delivery from Green Tea via Meituan app every one or two weeks. The chicken is real good. With the discount, it's really cheap. It costs about 45rmb, and my girlfriend and I shared it.
Good to know bro! Thanks!
Usually only person will order but before that everyone can express their preferences and decide the dishes to order
Enjoying your video, clean crisp, drone shots, music, everything is put together nicely ,we'll edited.
Excelente material, la calidad está genial, he sido tu fan desde hace unos cuantos años!! Ahí está tu like y nueva supscripcion buen hombre! :)
Muchas gracias! Contento de que te haya gustado! También soy fan de tu trabajo buen hombre! Un abrazo desde China!
Coco park ,great place to hang out
綠茶 dishes are good and comparatively cheap tho
Omg. I really miss Coco Park. 😭😭😭😭 my favorite place.
Not really. Normally when it's a couple of friends gathering, each one will choose the dish they want and share. Well if the boss is buying food, he will order and will ask you what would u want. But since u r foreigner and it's the first time, your boss Probably think u don't know much so she would order for u. Typically one person choose one or two dishes. Three person four to five dishes are enough.
169 for so many dishes, pretty good.
only 25 dollars
Se veía súper rica toda la comida!
Estaba muy buena! 😋
That ordering thing , it’s not common , in your case, you just got a pushy boss .
Yes also true haha
And a controlling one at that. Lol
Qué delicious se ve todo. Iré a comer allá. Gracias por compartir la experiencia. ❤️
La comida en ese restaurant es realmente muy rica! Recomendado 100%
Join and eat, I don"t mind of my boss pays everything @
wow i been to the same restaurant, nice place
It certainly is!
I went to coco park once early this year. A great place to visit.
In China, we use "烟火气息" to describe the "noisy" restaurants, which means ... It's hard to explain...HAHA
I think for the young people, it is more like everyone will order one dish and together can have 1 or 2 more.
Got it, thanks for the info
Watching videos from China makes me feel I'm so back in time.. it's like part of the world is staying behind..
Muy bueno!
Muchas gracias!
if u like green tea, u could try the grandma's. both the same style and from the same city
I tried before. But still like green tea better
I think Green tea restaurant is originally from hangzhou
Cantonese style or Shanghai dishes food will be more suitable for your taste if you can't eat spicy food.
Yeah! those are my favorite
Wish i can meet u in Shenzhen one day
recommend you to trt another zhejiang style food restaurant-grandma's.you will like it
Normally who orders who pays, haha
Right
I would like to check you out next time I go to Shenzhen!
It’s not exactly noisy btw there’s vip room can reserve for pleasant experience. But then again that noise it’s part of the atmosphere in China. Enjoy ;)
I agree. In fact Noise is part of the whole China experience. Some people appreciate it, some people don't. I love it!
One person to order. But other ones can suggest or recommend. The orderer will usually take the suggestions.
Thanks for the info! I always appreciate when they take my suggestions! haha cheers!
the screen of ur cellphone was broken...lol
Me encanto
Muchas gracias!
绿茶哈哈哈哈
我的最喜欢中餐厅！
@@RafaGoesAround 绿茶很便宜、
hahha, it is funny to see that you expressing something not in your common sense. me gusta tu vlog con subtitulos en español.
Noisy because you are in the mall ha,if you are with friends you can go restaurants out of those malls
Noisy everywhere. But I like it
Wandering around hahaha, makes you feel living in the world...but if you need ,restaurants with separate rooms can be the last choice
Awesome video...but weres your mask
ehh..covid-19 is over in china dude :)
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
👍🏽👍🏽
Step two or maybe three streets off the main drag and enjoy far better food at much lower cost and with people who will laugh with you.
👍🏼
If you go to Shanghai, try Grandma’s house 外婆家.
Thanks for the tip!
@Rafa Goes Around! ，
You are welcome. I was under the impression you prefer to try local foods. That’s why I recommended it lol. 外婆家 (a chain) is a good presentation of the foods in Shanghai area. It is also cheap!
If you are open to anything, there is 味千拉面 for ramen.
Bullfighter (斗牛士） for steak. One of the best steak places I have been to in China with relatively cheap price by Chinese standard (steak is expensive in China). At Bullfighter, Ribeye steak for example, 250g for 188RMB (the last time I checked) with (unlimited) side dishes ranged from salad, drinks, soup, to dessert.
And there is 萨莉亚 ， a Japanese chain of Italian foods (I don’t think it is very authentic lol 😂) but still delicious and really cheap. My Italian friend said they don’t eat roasted chicken wings lol 🤣.
All of above are chain restaurants.
I am an oversea Chinese from Shanghai. Living in Michigan in the US. My last visit to Shanghai ended in January, and I basically go there every year. There are also some nice hot spring places near Shanghai. Such as the ones at 嘉善. Very nice vacation spots.
And we have several expat groups in Shanghai to organize a lot of hiking trips. Summer was the best for river hiking, climb over water falls, or jump off them lol.
do you need to have a china bank account to link it to WeChat pay? just wondering. I wish to visit china in the near future.
Yes, you need a Chinese bank account
Cuisine in Yangtze River Delta around Shanghai are not spicy.
Correct
Is it easy to get Halal food compare than Guangzhou / Yiwu?
there are quite a few halal food restaurants in the city as well as many other options from all around the world
@@RafaGoesAround Thanks :)
It's easy to find, I think, but must of them are northwest noodle restaurants. Or you can just order the food that suitable to you. It will be much easier if you have a friend who can speak Chinese to help you. It's easy for me to find, but not that easy for foreigners.
We should open our mind
If you truly understand the real dining culture of Chinese society, you wouldn't be saying Chinese restaurant noisy. Similarly if I pop into a western bar I wouldn't expect it to be quiet. Just an example.
Maybe I’m still in the process of understanding it. But, Chinese restaurants are noise, that’s a fact. Thanks for the comment tho
Noisy? Please come to an American restaurant to see if there is a difference. It is universal!
Have you experienced the drinking culture with your boss? Lol
haha yes, once! funny experience!
On the other extreme is the buffet restaurant. Everyone gets to choose their own dishes. On very informal affairs, nobody cares. Laissez faire. Suit yourself. But on more formal occasions, it better be One-Party Rule. Or there will be food riots.
I guess there's an analogy to how governments are run differently. Experience and meritocracy in China where everyone is looked after.
what?
Stupidity has shown by Iann Chai
Then what did you think?
Why do you call it a Chinese restaurant in China????
Where are you from? Looks like Iranian or Pakistan
I'm from Wakanda
Wandering around 🤪
about 25$ ， that’s really annoying
annoying?
Very annoying...
Is outrageous to have all that fancy 4 main dishes plus two potato babes for 25$ , isn’t that annoying? think about what we can order for 25$ in US :))
Green tea is good but the one in Toronto is horrible
Wow I didn't know there was one in Canada!
绿茶。没啥味道
是你的意见，值得尊重。我还喜欢
