Yujian Xiaohaitun Haixian Canting

Seafood Specialty Restaurant Near Nashanghai Beach

---

So, where are we off to on Eunsusu's adventure this time?

We visited Weihai's Nashanghai Beach and the Giant Ferris Wheel,

and afterward, we headed to a nearby seafood specialty restaurant called

Yujian Xiaohaitun Haixian Canting.

We found it based solely on reviews from Dazhong Dianping and Gaode Maps.

Even though it was a local spot primarily frequented by residents,

we were absolutely delighted, so I'm sharing my review!

1. Location & Basic Information

Let's break down the restaurant's name: 遇见 (Yujian) means "to meet," 小海豚 (Xiaohaitun) means "little dolphin," and 海鲜餐厅 (Haixian Canting) means "seafood restaurant."

⭐ Here's the distance from nearby attractions.

It takes about 15 minutes to walk,

but it's not really a short distance, so

I recommend taking a DiDi taxi to get here.

If you're visiting the Nashanghai Ferris Wheel or the beach

and haven't decided on a restaurant yet,

this spot would be a fantastic addition to your itinerary.

2. Restaurant Atmosphere + How to Order

Inside, you'll even find seating areas with a glamping vibe!

Overall, it's very clean, and there are plenty of tables.

As expected from a seafood specialty restaurant, they have aquariums,

which reassured me that the seafood was incredibly fresh.

You order by scanning the QR code on the table

with Alipay.

However, the seafood pot I wanted

wasn't visible on the screen.

So, I showed the menu picture to a staff member,

and they immediately found it on the screen and selected it for me.

From there, the ordering and payment process was seamless.

They were incredibly friendly, even using a translator to ask in Korean

if there was anything I couldn't eat.

So, if you're traveling in Weihai and your Chinese

isn't perfect, you absolutely don't need to worry!

3. How's the Mala Seafood Pot?

For table settings, they provide tableware and water.

However, there's a charge of 4 Chinese Yuan per person for the tableware.

We also ordered drinks and alcohol to go with the Mala Seafood Pot. We got Yantai Gaoliang Liquor and two Cokes.

They even provide wet wipes, aprons, and plastic gloves – so thoughtful!

⭐ The Mala Seafood Pot Arrives!

The menu we ordered was 麻辣海鲜大咖 (Mala Haixian Daka),

which translates to "Spicy Seafood Master."

It was a Mala Seafood Stew that felt like Mala Palbochae.

The spicy, fiery flavor was intense yet, somehow, not overpowering.

The spiciness didn't linger; it faded quickly.

I compared it with my fist.

Can you get a sense of the bowl's size? 😮

Perhaps because of the starch, the seafood and sauce

weren't separate but all clung together beautifully.

Small clams, scallops, conch, blue crab, oysters, shrimp,

razor clams, abalone, starfish, and even vegetables were all included,

making the ingredient list truly abundant.

The aroma of spices wasn't too strong,

so even those sensitive to the unique scent of spices

can enjoy it without a problem.

The spiciness isn't overly intense, so even those who

can't handle very spicy food will find it agreeable.

I especially enjoyed the small clams, which were perfectly salty.

Paired with a glass of Yantai Gaoliang Liquor, it was a perfect match.

The total price came out to 315 CNY.

Menu Item	Quantity	Price
Coke	2 bottles	20 CNY
Yantai Gaoliang Liquor	1 bottle	29 CNY
Tableware	2 sets	8 CNY
Mala Seafood Stew Set	-	258 CNY
Total		315 CNY (Based on 2 people, approximately 157 CNY per person)

4. Recommended for travelers who...

...are looking for a half-day itinerary in Naxianghai:

You can perfectly combine it with the Giant Ferris Wheel and the beach

for a complete itinerary.

...can't handle too much spice but want to enjoy the Mala flavor:

The spice aroma isn't overwhelming, and the spiciness

doesn't linger, so you can enjoy it without any burden.

​

...want to order comfortably even if their Chinese isn't fluent:

The staff members were incredibly helpful, even providing Korean translations,

so you can visit without any worries.
