The first time to Jufuan in 2024, and also the second time my wife had Hainan Laoba Tea😋After receiving the seat card, we went to the dining island to pick up the food, "stamp", and eat🥳
The price is still affordable, and the taste is great👍
I really like pork ribs and chicken feet rice, traditional Hainan noodles, Fu'an big buns, and Hainan Wenchang chicken.
I only found out that there were glutinous rice ribs and small rice noodle dregs vinegar🍲 before leaving! I will come to eat again next time😜
P.S. The New Year atmosphere in Hainan is getting stronger! I hope I can win the prize! Receive the big gift bag of Jufuan🎁
Signature Xiaofuan Chicken Wings It seems to be the specialty of Laoba Tea. Almost every Laoba Tea has this. It tastes good. Rock sugar white fungus is refreshing and sweet. Afu black pork ribs are actually steamed ribs with taro. The taro is very sticky and the ribs are also good. Honey barbecue pork buns are more traditional and taste good. The signature Fu'an big buns are very big. Break them apart and share them. The filling is also braised meat, slightly sweet. Colorful egg tarts taste okay. Rolling French toast tastes very fragrant, but it's a bit greasy if you eat too much. Braised gold tripe is very chewy and more flavorful. Spicy chicken is average. The taste will be a little worse after frying and steaming. [Mint] Environment: This Laoba Tea has a good environment, which is more acceptable to the public and not so local. [Service bell] Service: Not bad

The decoration environment is very unique, the service attitude is also very good, and the food is served conveniently and quickly. Every time I come to Haikou, I must come to check in here, and I must be hungry before going. I especially like their roast meat and signature soup. Because it is open 24 hours a day, it is very convenient to go there at any time. It is especially worth recommending to try it
Every time I go to Haikou, I must eat here! I really like its soup and barbecue. I really recommend it to everyone! Because it is open 24 hours a day, it is very convenient. Sometimes when I fly to Haikou in the early morning, there is still a good place for delicious and safe food. I have tried morning snacks, handmade ones. Lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, supper~~ I can become a spokesperson!

Coconut chicken is a must-eat in Hainan. Boil Wenchang chicken in three large coconut water. Drink the soup first, then eat the chicken, and then shabu-shabu. The chicken can be eaten after five minutes of boiling. It is very tender. The big turntable includes many Hainan snacks, which is very good. The service is also good, praise.
The Coconut Chicken on the third floor of Wuyue Plaza is super authentic, with warm and considerate service. Their coconuts are not filled with a drop of water, and they are filled with three coconuts. The pure coconut milk soup is super sweet. We have been to their restaurant many times! Because the price-performance ratio is really high! If you go there, you can order their set meal, which is more cost-effective than ordering a la carte.

Boiled chicken tastes OK, not sure if it is Wenchang chicken, the meat is firmer. Stir-fried Dongshan lamb According to the northern saying, it should be braised or stewed, with skin, slightly sweet, very soft. Steamed blue star grouper. First time hearing about this fish, very delicious, very fresh. Huakai Fugui Guangcun sandworm. Sandworm is high in protein, and tastes better after frying. Stir-fried bamboo clams with scallions and ginger. The bamboo clams are very fresh and fried lightly. Steamed sea clams with garlic vermicelli. Sea clams are also a kind of shell, with less meat inside. Chicken rice. There should be chicken oil in the rice. Coconut milk mung bean cake. Coconut meat on top, mung bean cake on the bottom. [Mint] Environment: Very large. [Service bell] Service: OK.
I came down from Leiqiong Volcano Park and found this restaurant. I came here to eat Hainan cuisine. The environment is very good and there is parking space. I ate Wenchang chicken and Dongshan lamb that I didn't eat in Hainan this time. The taste is good. I recommend it.

Sichuan Xiao Huzi Seafood Xiangshui Bay Store, Xiao Huzi seafood is a delicacy that many Sanya people can't stop eating. There are many ways to cook seafood, which brings together the essence of Hainan and Sichuan cuisine. Each seafood is unique and delicious. The most unmissable ones are of course Xiao Huzi's Hele crab and mantis shrimp.
Sichuan Little Beard Seafood Xiangshui Bay No. 3: The boss will personally go to the market to select and buy live seafood for the guests to review and make it according to their requirements. It is really a very considerate private customization! The boss is enthusiastic and the taste is also very good. You can buy it in bulk online. I recommend the steamed grouper, which is very clean and the meat is super delicious! The shrimps and mantis shrimps are both very big, very good.

Even celebrities go to the seafood food stall to check in here~ All the prices of the dishes in the store are transparent, and even the kitchen has surveillance cameras for diners to check at any time.
They have a special seafood pool. You can choose whatever you want to eat. They are caught, killed, cooked and eaten right after ordering. It is so fresh.
There are all kinds of fresh seafood. You can order them with your eyes closed without making any mistakes. This is a restaurant that you will miss after not eating for a long time.
This is a seafood food stall that even Hong Kong star Alan Tam praised ❗️
💟 Recommended dishes
✅ Steamed orchid crab
Personally, I think crabs are better steamed. The orchid crabs we chose for steamed crabs have more crab meat than three-spot crabs, and the meat is firmer and has more crab roe, which is most suitable for steaming.
✅Boiled shrimps
Boiled shrimps are the best way to test the freshness of seafood. Their shrimps are very suitable for blanching because they are very fresh. Friends who don't like blanching can choose spicy or stir-fried with scallions and ginger.
✅Spicy fried mango snails
The spicy fried mango snails are thin in shell and thick in meat, spicy and tender, and bursting with juice. They are very suitable for eating. I am drooling now just thinking about it.
✅Fried squid rings
I think they are very unique. The fried squid rings are wrapped in a thin layer of starch. The skin is very crispy, but the squid meat is very tender. It is so delicious.
💥The location is easy to find. It is in the Dingcun Wanren Seafood Square (not far from Haikou High-speed Railway East Station). Parking is convenient. You can park at 🚘, 🛵, and 🚲!
Store name: Facing the Big Seafood (Dingcun Wanren Seafood Plaza Store)
Address: No. 2 Haitangwan, Dazhangyu Road, the main entrance of Dingcun Wanren Seafood Plaza, Yingbin Avenue
Business hours: 10:00~22:00
Facing the Big Seafood is the most cost-effective seafood food stall I have ever been to, bar none
In the Dingcun Wanren Seafood Plaza, all the seafood in the store 🦀🦐 are very fresh, and can be seen alive with the naked eye
The selected seafood is directly taken to the store for processing, and you can tell the boss what flavor you want to eat
A table is not expensive, and the cost-effectiveness is really good👍👍👍

💟Recommended dishes💟
🦀Spicy crab
According to the enthusiastic recommendation of the waitress, I chose the signature spicy crab in the store. The crab meat is very full, the Sichuan flavor is very strong, and there is crab roe. The taste is really good😋
🦐Salt and pepper mantis shrimp
How many times have I gone to Haikou for this? Mantis shrimp is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the shrimp meat is plump and sweet, and the salt and pepper flavor is strong. You will be addicted to it once you eat it. Remember to choose mantis shrimp with paste for better taste.
🐚Salt-baked snails
Recommended to every friend who loves to eat delicious food but can't eat it🌶. The salt-baked snails are full and chewy, and the salty and fragrant taste can't be stopped at all. This is really a must👍.
🥗Stir-fried winged beans
Simple stir-frying can also make delicious taste, clear and sweet, and a little crispy, with a good taste. It is said to be a Hainan specialty. Many places don't have it. It is recommended to order one❗️
💥According to locals and Jimei who have been there, his restaurant is really suitable for friends who love seafood. It has a good reputation. It is a restaurant that everyone who has been there will check in again, so seafood lovers, go directly to Haikou!

The price/performance ratio of this popular morning tea shop is definitely not as good as the morning tea shop that locals often eat, but it wins in the environment, and you can enjoy the sea view while eating. After eating, you can swim in the hot spring next to it, and play on the beach in the evening when the sun is not so strong. It's perfect to play here all day!
[Taste] I especially like the wild vegetable tofu and the five-cornered pig!
[Environment] Facing the sea, a super sea view hotel, very romantic 🌹
[Service] The service is really good, make an appointment in advance to see the sea!

I found this Hainanese restaurant by accident. The layout is quite similar to that of a rainforest and a courtyard. The dishes are very authentic, the prices are relatively affordable, and the portions are not small. It is suitable for gatherings with friends and family.
It is a good place to eat, with fresh ingredients, a wide variety, and careful cooking. The seafood is good, the roast suckling pig is very distinctive, and the dining environment is good. I have come here for many times and can recommend it to everyone.

Verified user reviews
A local restaurant located on Binhai Boulevard. There are private rooms on the second and third floors. The environment is good, but the price is a little expensive. You can also sit at a large table on the first floor. There are quite a lot of dishes. It's just that there are many people and it's a bit noisy. Parking and transportation are very convenient. The area around Binhai Boulevard is very suitable for walking.
Came to Manfulong early in the morning for morning tea. It was a little early so the customers hadn't arrived yet. I ordered a few dim sum. The rice rolls and steamed spare ribs weren't very tasty, so I ate the rest.

After playing on the beach for a whole afternoon, I was tired and hungry, so I looked up this Jinshuimen Riverside Seafood Restaurant on the Internet. It has a very high reputation and ratings, and I was not disappointed.
Jinshuimen Seafood Restaurant is a famous food restaurant in Haikou. It is located on the riverside of Xinbu Island, with beautiful scenery, large scale, authentic seafood and slightly expensive prices. Breakfast and afternoon tea are another feature of this restaurant. Most of the guests are Hainanese locals, and there are also some tourists who come to check in.
