The Restaurant

Xin Ji stands on a street in Yuexiu that was once known for its seafood restaurants, and it still keeps a fish tank of live seafood at the door. It has operated for more than thirty years.

The Michelin Guide singles out two eel dishes: braised freshwater eel with roast pork, and swamp eel rice. The eel is praised for its fatty, firm flesh.

Good to Know

The restaurant holds one Michelin star. The guide describes it as high-quality cooking, and the listing does not take reservations online. See Guangzhou for the wider picture.
