Guangzhou Restaurant (广州酒家)

Guangzhou Restaurant (广州酒家), founded in 1935 on Wenchang South Road, anchors the city's culinary identity with mooncakes that are the best-selling in China—shipping over 10 million units annually to Hong Kong, Singapore, and San Francisco. Its yum cha service is an institution, with bamboo steamer trolleys circulating hundreds of dim sum varieties across a vast dining hall. Budget CNY 80–160 per person (HKD 86–172), a price range similar to #1 but offering broader menu options. Dianping: 4.6/5. Must-orders include crispy taro dumplings, prawn dumplings, and BBQ pork buns. Photo menus and some English-speaking staff ease navigation for international guests.
