Reviews
- lavender_unicornThe BBQ was honestly the highlight — the signature lamb with pickled cabbage and sand onions was so good, super tender lamb from Ningxia that just melted in your mouth, and the pickled cabbage + sand onions combo cut through the richness perfectly. The staff grilled everything for us the whole time which was amazing, didn't have to lift a finger. The place has that old Beijing vibe, super lively and homey. Also tried the mustard greens which were refreshing and cut the grease, and the fried steamed buns with stinky tofu were such a good combo, really flavorful. The decor is on point too, very retro and thoughtfully done. Overall super satisfied — ingredients were fresh, flavors were legit, and we'd definitely come back next time we're in Beijing.
