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.

Nansha District is about an hour from central Guangzhou by metro or taxi — worth building into your day.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a restaurant or a private home?

A private home. You'll eat at the family's own dining table, in the apartment where they live — not a commercial kitchen or a rented space.

How much does home dining in Guangzhou cost?

¥300 per person, which includes a full multi-course home-cooked meal. Groups of up to 5 guests.

Where in Guangzhou is the experience?

Nansha District, about an hour from central Guangzhou by metro or taxi. The exact address is shared after your booking is confirmed.

Can you accommodate dietary requirements or allergies?

Yes. Mention any allergies or restrictions when booking and the menu will be adapted, the same way it would be at a friend's house.

How far in advance should I book?

A few days ahead is usually enough, though weekends fill faster.

Is it suitable for solo travelers?

Yes. Solo guests are welcome, and many say the conversation is the part they remember most.

What time do lunch and dinner start?

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.

Do you have reviews or ratings?

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.
