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!

⭐ 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) |
