If Hongxing Group occupies half of the seafood restaurant industry in Guangzhou, Nanhai Fishing Village is the only top seafood restaurant that can compete with it, aside from its sub-brand Air No. 1, it also has strong strength.
Nanhai Fishing Village was born in 1986 and is known as "the first village in China", and the owner Xu Feng is a Hong Kong native. Over the past 30 years, Nanhai Fishing Village has won many awards such as "Guangzhou Food Hygiene A-level Unit", "National Special Five-Diamond Restaurant", "Top Ten Famous Cantonese Restaurants in China", "Famous Chinese Restaurants", and "Best Wedding Venue".
In its heyday, the fishing village of Nanhai was only held by VIPs holding "big brothers" and covered in gold, silver and jewelry would enter the house for consumption, and there was often a lot of traffic in front of the door, which was very magnificent. With the birth of high-end restaurants and the reduction of the phenomenon of eating and drinking at public expense in the catering industry, Nanhai fishing villages have also lowered their stature and become high-end seafood restaurants that ordinary people can afford.
Since July 2016, all brand stores of Nanhai Fishing Village Group have used wild seafood, which previously accounted for 80% of wild seafood in Nanhai Fishing Village, and now it has reached 100%. Nanhai Fishing Village Group's wild seafood is sourced from all over the world, including the United States, Canada, Australia, Ireland, Indonesia, Japan, the Philippines, North Korea, Vietnam, China's Xisha Islands, etc., which are purchased through direct supply from the origin and shipped to the store by direct air. Because the price of wild seafood is about 10%~15% higher than that of farmed seafood, the price of restaurants under Nanhai Fishing Village Group has also been raised.
In terms of dishes, Nanhai Fishing Village's signature dish Pan-fried Salted Fish is still available today, as are the timeless classic dishes such as Roadside Pigeon in Fishing Village, Stir-fried Alaskan Crab with Green Onions, and Stewed Conch with Salted Citrus. In addition to the themed seafood, the restaurant has also launched a number of new dishes, such as Wild Flower Eel with Sauce Emperor, Steamed Chicken with Longan Copper Plate, Fresh Lychee Gollop Pork, Chilled Melon Boiled 5A Wagyu Beef, etc., which have been highly acclaimed. Snacks such as silver silk cake and poplar manna are also popular.
At present, there are two branches in Guangzhou, of which the Zhujiang New Town store covers an area of 6,000 square meters, with a VIP room with a panoramic view of Huacheng Square and a total of 800 seats. The overall style is dominated by marine elements, with Chinese and foreign masters' oil paintings as decoration accessories, and the banquet hall is elegant and bright, with a 12-meter-long large seafood pool, but the seafood varieties are not as rich as those in the fishermen's new village. Liuhua Lake is one of the few large-scale lake-view garden seafood restaurants in the city, covering an area of more than 10,000 square meters, with a total of 900 seats in the hotel with panoramic lake view VIP rooms and elegant individual seats, and the hall is spacious, bright, noble and elegant, and full of modern sense. When it comes to service, the two branches in Nanhai Fishing Village are good, and a 10% service charge is added to the whole order. Both branches have morning tea and their own parking lots.
