I often dine at this restaurant, after all, I lived in Beijing for 20 years. Here, I can enjoy a variety of authentic Beijing street snacks. Although the taste may not compare to the local flavors in Beijing, it's still one of the Chinese restaurants in the US with a high level of authenticity.

You need to make reservation for Peking roasted duck 1.5 hours before coming. If not reserved beforehand, there is a Peking duck soup which is readily available.

Food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ambience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

After a long day trip, I was so glad to discover a restaurant that served authentic Beijing cuisine. Although the service was average, the delicious dishes they served more than made up for it, satisfying my cravings completely.

The restaurant boasted a tasteful design with an authentic Beijing style. The proximity of the stacked disposable meal boxes and beer barrels to the dining area detracted from the restaurant's overall cleanliness and aesthetic appeal.

However, the dishes were so good!

Sliced Pancake Soaked in Whole Fish with black sauce ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is a traditional Beijing dish that is absolutely delectable! The fish is seasoned to perfection with a delightful mix of salty, fresh, and mildly spicy flavors. The pancake is then soaked in the sauce, infusing it with a mouth-watering taste that elevates the dish to a whole new level of deliciousness.

Shredded Pork with Sweet Soybean Paste Sauce ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is another classic Beijing dish that never disappoints. The pork is cooked to perfection, tender and succulent, and paired beautifully with the black sauce, which perfectly complements its flavor.

Eggplant with Garlic Sauce ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It is an authentic Beijing dish, distinct from the Americanized Chinese versions found elsewhere. The eggplants are cooked to a soft texture and expertly seasoned with a flavorful garlic sauce, making it a must-try for anyone seeking an authentic Beijing culinary experience. Highly recommended!

Duck Bone soup with Napa Cabbage and Tofu ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The soup itself (the liquid, or say the water part) is fresh and delicious. Although the meat on the duck bone is plentiful, it lacks flavor. Nevertheless, the well-cooked Napa cabbage and tofu more than compensate for this, adding a delightful texture and taste to the soup.

Sautéed Mixed vegetables ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very refreshing taste.

Great taste as Beijing taste. Love the Spinach Peanut Sep, Silicon Pancake Soak While fish, roasted fish, Sizzling BBQ Lamb. Spicy Frog Dry Pot and Get Da Soup are all right. Pork may with strange taste as I tried. Leave some waiting time for food making after ordering.

Very tasty! 10 dishes for 8 persons and $33 per person. We had a good treat after a 11 hour hiking. Every dish was very delicious! My favorites were the fish, pork rib, and 百叶tofu.

Went there for dinner on Sunday around 6:30 and it wasn't quite packed as I expected( but there were people waiting when we came out)

We ordered a lot of food but I don't know the names since I wasn't the one who ordered. The duck tasted good while the skin was crispy and the meat was tender. I only wish they gave more wrap(or pancakes... whatever it is called)

Every food we ordered tasted great it wasn't that salty like some has mentioned. I only was able to take pictures of some food we ordered.

I loved-
Fried tofu stir fried with some veggies
Peking duck
Fried shrimp with walnut
Cold noodle - it reminded me of Korean cold noodle

Other dishes were good too but those were I'd order for sure next time.

Exceptional service and food. Reasonable priced. Basic decor. Great place for families to share all dishes. I will definitely come back to try different foods.
