Chocolate Fisherman is a chain of internet-famous restaurants with several branches in Rizhao. We went to the one in Wanpingkou. The specialty dish is the steam seafood pot. Compared with the seafood pots in other stores, the uniqueness of this store is that their steam is secret. The steamed seafood is very delicious. The seafood is also freshly caught and put into the pot alive. The waiters in the store are very enthusiastic. If you want to eat seafood, come to this store. It is said that this is also the favorite of locals.
Chocolate is native to Central and South America. Its originator is "xocolatl", which means "bitter water". Its main raw material, cocoa beans, are produced in a narrow strip of land within 18 degrees north and south latitude of the equator. When it is made into a beverage, it is often called "hot chocolate" or cocoa.

It was my first time here and the location was very easy to find. The store was quite popular when I arrived, so it seemed worth choosing. I had a great time eating there. The meat was very tender and tasted great. It was my first time to eat so much seafood in this season. The service was also very thoughtful. It is worth sharing with everyone.
The spicy fried clams are full of freshness and the spicy taste of chili stimulates the taste buds. The fresh clams open automatically after being fried. The clam meat is fat, tender and juicy. I didn't expect the dishes to taste so good. The service is also thoughtful. The price-performance ratio is really good.

Very satisfied. I saw many people recommend this restaurant. I came here just to give it a try. I can say that I was really amazed. The ingredients are very fresh, freshly caught and cooked, and the taste is good. The boss lived up to my trust as a stranger. Good, really good, really delicious
We were just chatting at a friend's house nearby. It was almost dinner time in the evening, so our friend took us to this seafood restaurant nearby. The owner was very friendly and my friend often comes here. We also saw many tables of families eating together. It was indeed a great restaurant and worth a try.

This restaurant is most famous for its Shandong specialty, Spanish mackerel dumplings. The Spanish mackerel dumplings are indeed very delicious. The other dishes are just average, but the taste is also OK. The environment of the restaurant is pretty good. I personally feel that the Spanish mackerel dumplings here are a must-try, recommended!
I live close to MixC, so I came here to eat and walk around. The dumplings here are very special. I have never eaten them in Zhengzhou, so I came here to try something new. The cuttlefish dumplings are black, but they taste good. It would be better if the portion was larger, haha!

Highly Recommended❗9 Restaurants That Rizhao Locals Love ✅ Your Fish Dumplings: Highly recommend this seafood spot in Rizhao!!
The steamed sea urchin egg is fresh and flavorful, and the crab and tofu are tender.
The clay pot Lipu taro is sweet but not greasy, and the handmade dumplings are absolutely delicious!!
✅ Niu Lao Er Seafood Grill: This seafood spot is highly recommended for travelers to Rizhao! The grilled skewers are tender and juicy, and the aroma of the charcoal permeates each skewer. The sea sausage rice is a must-try, with the crispy sea sausage adding a rich, multifaceted flavor.
✅ Lao Ba Jian: This Rizhao restaurant's sweet and sour pot-fried pork is perfectly cooked, and the smoked pork ribs are delicious. The flavor is moderately smoky and flavorful. The stir-fried dumpling soup with seafood dumplings is recommended, light and fragrant.
✅ Nan Xiaozhuang Seafood Stall: This is a great spot for delicious food in Rizhao, and the hotel is packed with Gangshan. The atmosphere is just like a food stall. The seafood tofu is incredibly fresh and tender, and there's a wide variety of seafood. The spicy crab is absolutely delicious, and the hairy clams are incredibly fresh.
✅ Ho-Shi Tavern: A truly amazing place to experience Chongqing cuisine in Rizhao. They offer spicy brain and chicken feet, as well as the signature tomato beef brisket soup. The beef skewers are fat and lean, with a nice chewy texture. I recommend the peach blossom wine, which is fragrant and sweet, perfect for women.
✅ Zui Jiang Hu: A must-try signature dish at Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea. The conch is crispy and tender, and the abalone is prepared in a simmered sauce. Each bite is incredibly satisfying, truly three delicious dishes. I highly recommend it! The braised Spanish mackerel is firm and not dry, soaking up the sauce.
✅ Xiang Shi Xiao Yuan: This is the place to go for barbecue in Rizhao. The skewers are incredibly delicious, and the pork belly is especially fragrant. The Zibo pancakes, dipped in their secret dipping sauce, are simply amazing! Plus, their barbecue is affordable, and you won't want to miss it! The cold dishes and side dishes are also very satisfying, so you don't have to worry about feeling saturated!
✅ Gaomenjie Beef Soup
The beef broth is prepared in a large pot. The broth is rich and mellow, and it's delicious. The bowl comes with vermicelli noodles and shredded tofu. The vermicelli noodles are soft and glutinous, and the beef patties are thin and crispy. The meat filling is sandwiched inside, and the patties are delicious when soaked in the broth.
✅ Sangang Copper Pot Shabu-shabu: This restaurant makes excellent eggplant wraps. The outer shell is crispy and the prawns are fresh. The raw meat strips are fragrant but chewy and firm. Copper pot shabu-shabu is a classic northern Chinese dish. The meat slices are cooked through in seconds, preserving the tenderness of the lamb to the fullest. #HospitalityShandongTravelDiary #RizhaoFood #CityHumanitiesDiary #LocalFood #FoodFlavorMeeting

Super affordable seafood restaurant, simple environment, many tables, but basically full of people, the main thing is that the seafood is fresh, the portion is sufficient, the attitude of the store owner is also very friendly and enthusiastic, eating seafood, drinking beer, chatting here is quite comfortable
The seafood is very fresh and the price is reasonable. The Spanish mackerel dumplings are very delicious. The sea bass is a bit fishy. The jellyfish is very chewy and the cold salad tastes very refreshing. The dining environment is also good. It would be better if there were more dumplings in the seafood dumpling soup.

There is a saying in the local area that "drink Lu's dumpling soup, everything will go smoothly", which has become a blessing for diners, which shows that it is quite well-known. The three-fresh dumpling soup is different from the traditional one. It tastes chewy and light in taste, which is the signature dish of the store; the pork belly fried with fish has the authentic Shandong cuisine taste, with a strong taste and moderate saltiness; the cucumber fried with meat, the cucumber is as thick as a finger, which is very cute, with a light taste, crisp and refreshing. There are many other dishes, all of which are worth trying. The environment is clean and tidy, and the decoration is simple, which feels a bit like a private restaurant. Come early, waiting for a table is a common situation
Lv's Gedatang is a well-known brand chain store. The dining environment in Rizhao MixC store is comfortable and hygienic. Lv's Gedatang's signature Gedatang soup is delicious, and the celery and potato shreds are relatively light. The dishes taste good and the prices are reasonable.

Xinghang Fisherman's House is known to almost everyone who comes to Rizhao for tourism. It is highly recommended. I came here with my husband. The waiters are very enthusiastic. The dishes are quite satisfactory. Fortunately, the price is reasonable and the environment is average.
I love eating their spicy sea fish the most. It is fragrant and looks spicy, but it is actually very delicious. The meat is tender and plump. The portion of steamed seafood is also full. It is a very cost-effective store.
