JiaLi Seafood, Haiwan Park (佳丽海鲜)

JiaLi Seafood, Haiwan Park (佳丽海鲜) is a branch of the JiaLi Seafood group at 109 Hubin West Road, beside Haiwan Park, in Siming District, Xiamen, Fujian Province, China. Haiwan Park is a waterfront park on the western side of Xiamen Island, and the restaurant offers Fujian-style fresh seafood in a location convenient for visitors exploring the park and the surrounding shoreline. The cuisine is Fujian seafood in a casual choose-and-cook format, with no chef lineage or Michelin context.

The listed signature dishes are steamed fish and seafood hotpot. Steamed fish is the classic way to show the freshness of the catch, while seafood hotpot combines shellfish, fish and vegetables cooked in a shared pot at the table. As with other seafood restaurants in Xiamen, ingredients are typically chosen by weight, so confirming the weight and price before the dish is cooked is a sensible precaution that avoids surprises on the bill.

The dining room is casual, family-oriented and often noisy, with large tables and a steady turnover, particularly at weekends. Dress is casual. Beer, tea and soft drinks are the usual accompaniments to seafood, and the restaurant is not known for a wine programme. The proximity to the park makes it a natural stop after a daytime walk or evening stroll.

Reservations are not strictly required because the restaurant welcomes walk-ins, though calling ahead is advisable for weekends, when the venue can be crowded. Typical spending is about ¥100-200 per person (approx. $15-29), and the bill can rise with live seafood selections. Hours vary by branch and season, so checking Amap (高德地图) or Dianping (大众点评) before going is sensible. The Hubin West Road location is on the western side of the island, away from the old Zhongshan Road district, so visitors will likely use a taxi, ride-hailing or bus. Groups often order a steamed fish, a hotpot and a few vegetable dishes to share, which gives a balanced meal at a manageable cost.
