Home Dining in Guangzhou
+1 Chopsticks is China's first curated home dining marketplace, connecting international travellers with vetted local host families. In Guangzhou, our host opens her home for private dinners that blend Sichuan heat with Cantonese technique — the kind of cooking that rarely appears on a restaurant menu.

In China, lunch is usually around 12pm and dinner between 6pm and 7pm — earlier than in many Western countries. Your host will confirm the exact time with you after booking, and most are happy to adjust if you're arriving from elsewhere in the city or coming straight from the airport.
We publish written guest stories rather than star ratings. Every one comes from a guest who completed a booking. We think a number tells you a meal was fine, while someone describing the evening tells you what it was actually like — you can read them on any host's page.
