Fodor's Review:

The location alone beats out most other restaurants in Guangzhou. It is in a faux colonial-style mansion on an island in Liuhuahu Park. Cuisine is pure old-school Cantonese, with expensive dishes like abalone and shark's fin soup being served alongside more rational staples like crispy fried pigeon, carbon-roasted mackerel, and stuffed garlic prawns. Naturally, there's plenty of dim sum, and the "Cantonese combo plate" features a variety of roasted meats sure to please carnivores. Although the food at Tang Yuan is excellent, most people come here for the opulence as well. Admission fee for the park is waived for guests of the restaurant, and a golf cart waits at the park's entrance on Liuhua Road to whisk diners to the restaurant's palatial front door.
