Reviews
- drowsy_poplarFound this spot while wandering around Qianmen with a friend and honestly it was such a good surprise. The beef is sliced fresh right in front of you, you can literally smell how fresh it is the second it hits the table. We got the hand-pounded beef balls and wow, super bouncy and juicy, exactly how they're supposed to be. The vibe inside is really cozy, warm yellow lighting with some retro decor going on, felt really nice. Tables are spaced out so it doesn't feel cramped, and they have private rooms if you wanna chat without all the noise. The hotpot broth is a beef bone soup and after you cook all the beef in it, sipping the soup at the end is so good, super rich. Overall we left really happy, price was fair for what you get, definitely coming back next time I'm in the area.
