Mama's, located in old Shekou, other a wide variety of dishes including pizzas, classic Mediterranean fair, Lebanese, Italian, etc. While I lived in Shekou I would order a Doner kabob at least 1/week as its fairly inexpensive, but very tasty.
Brian's Favorite Menu Items:the Doner Kabob Wrap (both the beef and chicken)
Nearest Shenzhen Metro Stop: Shuiwan on Shekou Line
X-TA-SEA is a sports bar located in Sea World, inside the cruise ship in Shekou. X-TA-SEA offers a wide selection of classic American sports bar fare including chicken wings, pizzas, sandwiches with a number of beers on tap. Most major sporting events can be seen on the projection tvs in the bar. If there is a sporting event you must see, ask the staff. They can sometimes record games in the US and stream them on the tvs. The owner Bill is from Chicago and is often found hanging out at the bar each evening with his friendly dog.
Brian's Favorite Menu Items: Chicken wings, Ribeye steak sandwich with philly cheese sauce on side.
Nearest Metro Stop: Sea World on Shekou Line
Gypsy's is located in Sea World and is run by an Australian owner. In my opinion the best all around restaurant in Shenzhen, everything on the menu is very good. For the first several months that I lived in Shenzhen I would eat at Gypsy's several times a week.
Brian's Favorite Menu Items: Australian Chicken Parmigiana; Pork Ribs with Washabi Mashed Potatoes
Nearest Metro Stop: Sea World on Shekou Line
The Burger King in Shenzhen has many of the classic menu items in the US with some twists. The most notable may be that Heineken is on the menu. Still a nice spot to get a taste of typical US fast food. This Burger King is next to Coastal City, one level above street level. This Burger Kin has closed as of Aug 2013, but others remain open at Coco Park, MixC, and elsewhere
