Booking tables in China?
Reservations, maps and a ride back to the hotel all need data. The China eSIM installs before you fly, so you land already connected.
Get the China eSIMHow we chose these restaurants
A place gets in one of two ways. It holds an award in a 2024, 2025 or 2026 edition of a recognised list, or it is a local institution that at least two established outlets have covered. We do not rank, and nothing here is paid for. The order on the page follows list standing first, then press coverage. The full method is in the note at the end.

Methodology
How we did this comparison
This guide aggregates; it does not rank. A restaurant in China is included if it holds a place on a recognised list in a 2024, 2025 or 2026 edition (MICHELIN Guide Shanghai 2026, MICHELIN Guide Hangzhou 2026, MICHELIN Guide Beijing 2026, MICHELIN Guide Guangzhou 2026, MICHELIN Guide Chengdu 2027, MICHELIN Guide Shenzhen 2026, The World's 50 Best Restaurants 2025 (51-100), Black Pearl Restaurant Guide 2026 (黑珍珠餐厅指南), La Liste 2026, 一饭封神 (Yi Fan Feng Shen) Season 2, 2026, 一饭封神 (Yi Fan Feng Shen) Season 1, 2025, Asia's 50 Best Restaurants 2026 and Asia's 50 Best Restaurants 2026 (51-100)), linked to the list publisher's own page, or if it is a local institution covered by at least two established outlets, each linked on its card. A single blog post or a review-site rating is not enough.
Places are ordered by list standing (MICHELIN stars, 50 Best, Tabelog Gold and Black Pearl three diamonds first, then other awards and Bib Gourmand), then by how much press they have. Summaries paraphrase the cited sources. Map positions come from OpenStreetMap. Price bands run from $ (casual) to $$$$ (tasting-menu fine dining) and are our reading of each place's menus and sources; places without one had no price source.
Every entry was checked against its sources on 26 October 2026. Lists change every year and restaurants close, so check opening days and book directly before you travel.
