What typical restaurants, food delivery services, and/or takeout options are popular among expatriates?
The delivery is abundant and cheap and you can get any food delivered in under 30 minutes. The convenience is unbelievable. You do need to decipher the Chinese apps, but you learn how to do it with practice. - Jun 2024
The Japanese and Korean restaurants here are amazing. The usual Western fast foods: Starbucks, KFC, Burger King, Dunkin' Donuts, McDonalds. Some solid Western restaurants. There are a multitude of delivery companies, but you need to have a grasp of Chinese to use the apps and deal with the phone calls. - Mar 2019
Kentucky Fried Chicken is everywhere, and the menu has been largely localized. Pizza Hut is the same. McDonald's and Starbuck's are very prevalent. Restaurants are everywhere, but not chains, so it's hard to predict the quality of the food. Most restaurants serve local cuisine. Sichuan is popular, lots of hotpot and skewers. Not a lot of variety in local restaurants, but it's cheap. - Jul 2016
McDonald's, Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts, KFC, Pizza Hut... Grand Hyatt has an incredible Italian restaurant and buffet (though pricey), decent Japanese (though it doesn't compare to Japan), so many Korean restaurants (BBQ, bimbimbap, bulgogi, etc.). - Aug 2014
There are plenty of places to eat, mostly Chinese, and they are good. There are some Western restaurants, most are just okay; truly you can find all kinds of food here, but it's not really a foodie sort of town. - Nov 2013
