Tucked away in the Treasure Cove area of Shanghai Disneyland, Sea Monster Bites (Hǎiguài Xiǎochī) is a quirky little snack stall that’s easy to miss but hard to forget. Perfect for a quick bite between rides, it’s located near the pirate-themed attractions, making it a great spot to refuel while soaking in the adventurous vibes.

The Concept

This tiny food亭 (hut) is all about celebrating the mythical Kraken, the giant squid-like sea monster from Norse legends. Think: tentacles everywhere, ocean-inspired decor, and a playful homage to the “creepy-cool” sea creature. The owner, Fumu Delvin, runs the show with a laid-back vibe, serving up dishes that feel like pirate treasure without the hefty price tag.

What to Eat

Sausages, but not boring ones.

They’ve got a ton of sausage options—think juicy pork, chicken, or even veggie ones. Flavors change weekly, but you’ll always find classics like German-style bratwurst (with mustard and onions) or Asian-spiced sausages (hello, ginger and garlic!). All are grilled to perfection with smoky char.

Pastries that’ll make you weak.

The baked goods here are chef’s kiss. Flaky croissants, buttery scones, and soft buns filled with everything from chocolate to savory meats. Try the “Octopus Bun”—a fluffy roll wrapped around tender octopus stew. It’s a nod to the kraken theme, but don’t worry, it’s delicious, not scary.

Little extras.

They’ve got drinks too—think iced teas, milkshakes, and even “Kraken’s Brew”, a fun coffee mix with chocolate and sea salt.

The Atmosphere

The stall looks like something straight out of a pirate ship—wooden beams, dim lighting, and walls covered in… you guessed it, tentacles. It’s tiny, so expect to rub elbows with other guests, but that’s half the fun. The staff wear pirate-ish hats and are super friendly, shouting orders like “Ahoy, extra mustard?”

At night, the stall glows with lanterns, making it feel like a hidden cove. Perfect for a quick photo op with the kraken sculptures outside.
