Tianhai Restaurant (Shengping Road)
天海酒家
A historic Foshan restaurant tracing its roots back to the 1913 Yinan Lou, beloved by locals for its morning tea and signature Zhouhou Chicken.
Tianhai Restaurant is located at No. 66 Shengping Road, Chancheng. Its predecessor was Yinan Lou, which opened in 1913 and reopened after being rebuilt in 1974 (other sources cite 1914 or 1915 as the opening year). The signature dish is the traditional Zhouhou Chicken, featuring tender poached chicken drizzled with hot, savory Zhouhou paste, alongside poached chicken and steamed catfish with black bean sauce. Morning tea starts at dawn, offering handmade dim sum like steamed rice rolls and siu mai, where guests brew their own tea and fetch their own tableware. The decor is simple and popular with local elders. The average spend is about 50 to 80 RMB, though sources vary, so calling ahead to confirm is recommended.
