Reviews
- Blair_35Location: Wangfujing, Meiyuan building 1st floor, right by the Shouhang supermarket, just come down from the pedestrian bridge. Parking: didn't really see any parking nearby, so don't bother driving. The vibe: first floor is kinda small, just long communal tables, but it's perfect for a quick breakfast. Didn't check out the second floor. Service: super chill — they said hi right when I walked in, helped me get rice first, then told me I could order the other stuff out front, so nothing got mixed up. The food: honestly the breakfast here is unreal, hands down the best I've had.
