Keyu Hakka Cuisine's Century Hui branch sits on level 3 of the Century Hui Shopping Mall on Huaqiangbei Street in Futian District, at the heart of Shenzhen's dense electronics-market area. As the Huaqiangbei outpost of the city's best-known Hakka chain, the kitchen serves Hakka salt-baked chicken, stuffed bitter melon, and pork braised with preserved vegetables to a lunch crowd drawn largely from the surrounding electronics wholesale buildings. The dining room is functional and efficient, with close-set tables designed to turn over quickly during the midday rush, and the mood is workaday rather than atmospheric. There is no dedicated beverage programme beyond tea and soft drinks. Reservations are not typically necessary outside the core lunch hours, though calling ahead by phone or booking through Dianping helps secure a table for groups during the busiest 12:00-13:00 window.
