Save the kale for another day: sometimes we just need to indulge in some deep-fried indulgence. Join us as we check out five of the best French fries Shenzhen has to offer.
Ciao Caro
Sometimes you just want the comfort of a nice solid potato wedge, but without the sogginess or softness that so often ruins this classic fry type. Luckily, Ciao Caro’s tater treats avoid both of these pitfalls, hitting a happy medium that provides a hefty yet crisp bite. Plus, the wasabi mayo that comes with some orders is surprisingly punchy.

Hotties Burger
Hotties has waffle fries. Need we say more? But in case you need elaboration: yes, they’re just as golden, crispy and addictive as the fries of a certain American fried-chicken chain, if not more so. Even better, you can partake without any of the ethical qualms that still plague the US brand.

Frankie’s Bar & Grille
For some people, a perfectly deep-fried, golden-brown slice of potato isn’t achievement enough; it needs to be topped off with something else. And in the case of Frankie’s fries – sprinkled with just the right amount of salt and spice – we’re better off for it. You don’t even need ketchup to enjoy these thin-cut fries, though it and Tabasco can both be found on-hand.
What’s special about them: the seasoning

Hard Rock Cafe
The fries of this American mainstay are known around the world, and now available in the Mission Hills region of Longhua New District. The signature, straight-cut potato treats combine the best of all worlds: crispy, seasoned with their own unique spice blend and served up with dipping sauces all their own.

Mr. and Mrs. Aysh
From a humble snack van to dozens of brick-and-mortar locations, this fried-food chain hits all the right spots. Fries arrive crisp with an almost creamy interior, with your choice of four distinctive sauces. The black truffle dip has an earthy tang and a slightly sweet mayo feel, but the honey mustard indulges our sweet tooth with complex caramels and notes of that warming mustard.
