A must-try local food in Sanya, good value for money! Fresh ingredients, recommend the intangible heritage double Wenchang chicken, especially the coconut chicken, which has a special coconut fragrance, especially fragrant! The dregs vinegar seafood bucket is particularly sour and refreshing, the coconut milk chicken is very delicious, and the sour watermelon and mountain bamboo shoots fried with local black pork and chicken oil rice are especially delicious! The whole family unanimously decided that it is worth coming here often to enjoy!
I have eaten here in Sanya many times and still can't beat it!!! The Hainanese food here is so delicious!!!
The coconut milk chicken is smooth and tender, I love it!!
The roasted chicken with spicy sauce is really amazing~ the meat is not dry at all, very tasty. The Wenchang chicken has just the right amount of fat and lean, and the chicken oil rice is very fragrant!! It is really delicious to eat it with the roasted chicken on the rice!!! Tengqiao spareribs are OK

After reading many recommendations from netizens, I went to Taiqiong Zaosu Vinegar, which is all directly operated stores. There is no need to worry about the outrageous prices. Just feel free to consume.
I chose the Baihua Valley Commercial Street branch closest to the hotel, followed the navigation, and resisted the temptation of many touts along the way. I climbed to the second floor and finally found my destination.
The decoration is very fresh and clean in the South Asian tropical style. The store is not very big, but it is clean and tidy. The waiters all wear masks and are very skillful.
I ordered a set meal. In addition to a few small pieces of unfamiliar sea fish, there is half a Wenchang chicken, two small plates of loofah and shredded potatoes. There is also an activity of punching in and collecting to get a colorful cold cake. You can participate.
To be honest, the soup of Zaosu Vinegar is still very good, sour and spicy appetizer. Those sea fish and chicken are ordinary, especially Wenchang chicken, which is not as good as its reputation.
The shredded coconut in the set meal is not in stock at the bare branch, so I want to change it to rice or ramen directly... To be honest, come to Sanya and don’t eat specialties to eat white rice? It seems a bit funny~ After a long communication, I changed to a pandan jelly 😂 and ordered a pot of freshly baked seafood rice. There was only a large portion for 4 people, but no small portion for 2 people... I had to bite the bullet and order it... The taste was very similar to the wet and soft salty rice in Fujian, not the type of Guangdong dry and fragrant clay pot rice. I personally feel that it was neither good nor bad.
If you want to try Sanya's specialties, you can consider buying it~
【Taste】Sour and spicy, delicious. The elderly will buy bai vinegar to take home after eating. The elderly especially like the pickled beef. Wenchang chicken is a bit hard to bite. The portion is very large.
【Environment】Clean and hygienic. It is right next to the Huayu lobby, very convenient.
【Service】Thoughtful and enthusiastic, free children's meals, asked about the taste and opinions many times, and were very satisfied.

Sanya Store Exploration‖The restaurant with both seafood and beautiful scenery is here🌊Sanya is a coastal city after all, so the seafood is of course very fresh. Without saying anything, I rushed to the Little Dolphin Seafood recommended to me by my friend! 🔥There is a super large seafood pool with a variety of fresh seafood. Customers order seafood in the seafood pool and weigh them one by one! 🍆The dishes taste great🍆The service is also considerate🍆It’s really good to help peel the shrimp shells🏬Store: Little Dolphin Chain Seafood Restaurant (No. 1 Store)🚌Location: Northwest corner of the intersection of Sanya Bay Road and Haipo Sanheng Lane⌚Business hours: 10:00-23:00 Dishes recommended🍣🥥The steamed lobster with garlic vermicelli is delicious, high in protein, low in fat, and has very high nutritional value. The garlic and vermicelli are integrated into the lobster meat, and it tastes great! 🥥I really want to learn the chef's recipe for the red flower crab in the Typhoon Shelter. It is fried golden with garlic and looks very appetizing. The crab meat is firm and delicious. It tastes very good for people with good teeth! 🥥I really love the salt and pepper mantis shrimp. The mantis shrimp is really crispy and the shell can be eaten together. I highly recommend it! #SanyaTravelGuide#SanyaFood#SanyaExploration#SanyaEat,Drink and Play#SanyaInternetCelebrityShop#SanyaNicheCheck-inLocation#SanyaMustCheck-in#SanyaSeafood

The sea view is particularly good, facing the vast ocean, and the Western food is also delicious
p2 Coconut Chicken 💰170 per person
One golden coconut + three Hainan local coconuts are freshly opened as the soup base. The chicken meat is very tender, and it is perfect with the sauce prepared by the waiter. I ate it for two consecutive days. The circular platter is very ordinary, not recommended. The first time two people ate a la carte, it cost more than 500, it is more cost-effective to buy a set meal.
p3 Tiger Mother Vanilla Duck 💰170 per person
The meat is soft and tender, and the overall is good. After eating the duck, add soup to cook vegetables, a bit like a chicken pot.
p4 Taiqiong Dregs Vinegar Hot Pot 💰170 per person
The soup base is relatively sour, but the meat will not be greasy after cooking too much, but it is still a bit hard to get used to. This is also recommended to buy a set meal. The single order for the two of us cost more than 500.
p5 IPK Beach Bar 💰150 per person
In Houhai Village. The location is good, right by the beach, and many people are surfing on the beach. There will be more mosquitoes. The dishes are OK. Suitable for lying down and enjoying the scenery.
p6-7 Tao Haidini Restaurant 💰408 per person
In Haitang Bay. The view is great for taking photos, but the buffet is average, nothing special, it's good to take photos.
p8-9 Mousaka Greek Seafood Restaurant 💰150 per person
In Tianya Town. It is recommended to book the location of Bougainvillea in advance, it is perfect for taking photos and has a great atmosphere. When I arrived, there were couples taking wedding photos at that location. The dishes are pretty good, Mousaka and beef cubes are recommended.
p10-12 Edition Beach Grill Restaurant 💰Set meal 1500
In Haitang Bay Edition Hotel. The double lobster restaurant ordered, the service is as good as always, be sure to book in advance! The restaurant is Indonesian, the chef is invited from abroad, the dishes are quite distinctive and delicious. The environment is nothing to say, blowing the sea breeze, stepping on the beach, listening to the livehouse, it's very comfortable. The atmosphere is amazing when the lights are turned on at night. The restaurant also prepares floral water to prevent mosquitoes. In short, it is highly recommended!
p13-14 Edition Starry Sky Bar Afternoon Tea 💰 Set Meal 598
It is located on the 12th floor of the Haitang Bay Edition Hotel and opens at 14:00. The desserts are good, the service is very considerate, and the afternoon tea introduction is very professional. The fairy-like afternoon tea is very beautiful for taking pictures. There is an infinity pool outside.
p15-16 lan Lan Seaview Bar 💰 150 per person
It is right on the edge of Dadonghai Beach. The decoration is retro and stylish, and the atmosphere is very chill. It is a popular restaurant recently. I feel that the scenery should be better when the lights are turned on at night. The dishes are average.
p17 Nanshan Cultural Tourism Zone Seaview Vegetarian Restaurant 💰 80 per person
It is on the underground first floor of the Guanyin Observation Deck on the Sea. You can pass by it on the way to Guanyin on the Sea. You can see Guanyin by the window. The vegetarian dishes are not bad.
p18 Yiheng Night Market Seafood Set 💰 Set 258
There are many seafood restaurants in the night market, and each one has a similar 258 set. I didn’t expect much, but I felt the taste was okay

Princess, please eat seafood! This seafood restaurant in Sanya is awesome!
How can you miss this seafood meal when you come to Hainan! ? ?
But you must be careful when choosing a seafood restaurant! It is really hard to find a local restaurant that is really good value for money!

This dregs vinegar is really to my taste, so delicious, sour and spicy, very delicious, their seafood platter is really large, I like it very much, the dishes are also very fresh, the waitress is also very good, very enthusiastic.
There is also free pick-up and drop-off for those who live nearby, it is really great to be able to be picked up and dropped off at the hotel after eating, so considerate! ! Next time I come to Sanya, I will come to their restaurant to eat
How can you miss a meal of special dregs vinegar when you come to Sanya!
Baozi who likes sour and spicy will definitely love this!
Remember to drink a bowl of soup first, it is sour and spicy and a good appetizer. The soup base is fermented by wine lees, and it is sour and spicy and really addictive! It is recommended to choose a set meal according to the number of people, Wenchang chicken, fat beef, vegetables, mushrooms, Hainan noodles, seafood platter, and every category can be eaten, which is a blessing for those with difficulty in choosing!
The portion is large and affordable, and the fat beef has been baptized by dregs vinegar, and the meaty aroma and sour and spicy are intertwined, and every bite is very satisfying!
With a bowl of Hainan soul sauce (small kumquat + minced garlic + chili...), sour, spicy and fresh!
Quickly code it! After eating, it will be directly included in the must-eat list in Sanya!

A good place to take the kids to hang out on a rainy day. We were attracted by the Little Red Book before we arrived at the store. We were not disappointed when we visited the store. The taste is good, and the sweet and salty tastes are reasonably matched, so it is not greasy at all. The environment is a little bit accomplished, but the girls are very service-oriented. I highly recommend it. It is a complete win. The afternoon tea business hours are 14:00-17:00, and then it is bar time;
Starry Sky Bar is on the rooftop of Edition. There is also a swimming pool on the rooftop. The wind is very cool! Wine is available a la carte, but other snacks are not available. Currently, there is only one set for afternoon tea! And there are few types of changes. It would be better if there were some a la carte or more choices! The taste is not too amazing! The environment is not bad

Sanya Food💗This seafood restaurant worth visiting twice must be shared with you!!🏄🏻🏄🏻- First, it is clean! Second, it is cost-effective! Third, the service attitude is good🥰🥰, come and enjoy the hot summer food
Salt and pepper mantis shrimp
Summer is the most plump season for mantis shrimp,🤔🤔🤔The mantis shrimp just out of the pot has both the flavor of crab and the taste of shrimp, and is full of shrimp roe😏😘😘, after frying The mantis shrimp locks in moisture, and the shell is crispy and fragrant. 🤩🤩Paired with the salty and fragrant pepper and the sweet shrimp meat, blowing in the sea breeze, paired with beer, 🍺🍺🍻🍻Ba Shi
Typhoon Shelter Fried Crab
Restores the taste of Hong Kong⏳⏳
The garlic flavor is rich, and the garlic paste goes over the crab shell and penetrates into the white and tender fresh crab meat, 😍😍
Dig a whole spoonful of golden garlic paste, which is fragrant and crispy
It blooms like popcorn when you eat it, making people love it. 💕💕
And the seafood is very fresh, freshly caught and cooked, and the taste is particularly sweet. The spiciness of the big coffee can be adjusted. Sisters who can't eat spicy food can also try it🤔🤔
I came to Lin Jie to eat seafood again. I must come here every time I come to Sanya! The cost performance is super high [naughty]
[Mint]Environment: The three-story building is very suitable for entertaining friends or family gatherings. The air conditioning is very sufficient. In such a hot place like Sanya, eating without air conditioning is not delicious [crying]
"Salt and pepper mantis shrimp" I love Lin Jie's mantis shrimp the most. The difference from other places is that it has a strong aroma of coconut milk. I must order it every time I come. And the waiter can help peel the shrimp so that both hands are free [naughty]
"Boston lobster" We ordered the steamed method. The lobster meat was peeled in advance. It was so considerate. The meat was tender and juicy. With garlic, the garlic flavor was absolutely amazing
"Steamed grouper" My favorite fish. Few bones and fat meat. I love it. The sauce below is sweet and delicious. It tastes super good with fish meat!
[Service bell]Service: The service is impeccable. The waiter sister will also ask if you need help peeling shrimp. It is so friendly to lazy people like me. It is comparable to Haidilao in the seafood world

Aju Cold Drink Shop: In the First Market, it is said that many people usually line up to eat fried ice. Probably because of the typhoon, there were not many people here, so there was no need to line up. I ordered a durian fried ice and a mango fried ice. The portion was large, and the durian was very fragrant and strong. It is recommended to eat the mango flavor first and then the durian, otherwise it will feel tasteless after eating the durian fried ice. There are many other fruit flavors and refreshing cool options, but the first recommendation is the durian fried ice.
I passed by the First Market at night and wanted to go find Aju's fried ice~
It was almost 22:00 when I arrived. I saw that there were people waiting for fried ice... I ordered and was told that I would have to wait at least 2 hours. I left my phone number and came to pick it up. Fortunately, I live nearby and can also order delivery~
The durian fried ice is really authentic, the durian with milk has a rich taste, and the quantity is also very substantial~
