Located in a shopping park, SHARK is one of the most popular restaurants in Shenzhen, along with Azzurro, and has been visited by foodie Cai Lan, AC Milan star Marco Storari, NBA player Jeremy Lin, and well-known media personality Yang Jinlin, and was voted "Outstanding Restaurant of the Year" by That's PRD readers in 2016.
According to the official introduction, the chef of SHARK is named Mattias, who is from Italy and has more than 20 years of experience in Western cuisine. The ingredients in the restaurant are the same suppliers as many five-star hotels, but the prices are much cheaper than those of the hotels, and the portions are also larger. However, the ingredients of SHARK are occasionally not fresh, and the production is not stable.
The restaurant offers more than 30 appetizers, ranging in large and small portions. Among them, the bread platter is worth recommending, with a total of 12 slices of bread and 4 flavors, accompanied by truffles, salmon and other ingredients. In addition, the restaurant also offers a variety of oysters such as Girado No. 1, Girado No. 2, Gold No. 1, and Silver Oyster No. 2. The Giraldeau oyster is the French equivalent of the Rolls-Royce of oysters, and Michelin-starred restaurants in Paris pride themselves on serving the Giraldeau oysters. Guangzhou's No. 1 Western restaurant, Bai Xian Hui, is also served by Girardo, which is undoubtedly one of SHARK's best appetizers.
Beef triangle meat is SHARK's signature entrée, which is very rare in Shenzhen. Located above the rump, it is boneless and 100% pure, and is very popular in Brazil and is the most expensive beef in Brazil. SHARK's beef triangle is available in 500g and 1kg sizes, and 500g can be used for two people. It is marinated with more than 20 kinds of spices and roasted, and it is tender and delicious. After the meat is roasted, the chef pushes a trolley out of the field, cuts it on the spot and puts it in an insulated stone pot, which is filled with potatoes, cherry tomatoes, eggplant, mushrooms and bell peppers and other vegetarian dishes. The sauce is the finishing touch to the dish, while the vegetables balance the taste and texture. Each piece of beef has a layer of fat, a crispy skin, a juicy and tender texture, and a fragrant flavor. If there is only one person, it is recommended that the Argentine veal tenderloin is 180g, the meat is lean, it will taste firewood when it is more than 5 mature, and it is the softest when it is 3 mature.
If you are not satisfied with the beef after eating, you can have a staple dish, and paella and spaghetti with shark white sauce are the staple dishes with a high order rate here. Desserts are chocolate lava cake and tiramisu, the former chocolate is warm but not too sweet. The latter has a cold taste with a hint of wine. In addition, SHARK's menu is also very intimately marked with the portion, selection of parts, doneness and wine pairing recommendations for grilled dishes.
Like the Azzurro, SHARK's dining room is decorated with a wooden table and red leather sofas, with dim lighting, and is divided into two dining areas, one for smoking outside and one with a toilet inside. There is also a rectangular aquarium above the entrance of the store, in which three baby sharks swim back and forth. SHARK doesn't charge a service fee, but the service provided is excellent, and the staff are courteous and attentive, which is much better than the Azzurro next door, which is also owned by the same company. SHARK has branches in the MixC in Nanshan District and Shekou Sea World, with the former having the same menu as the Shopping Park store, while the latter focuses on grilled goods.
