Reviews
- dramatic_mapleThe food: Ju Baoyuan's copper pot hotpot is really good. The meat is great, the Tan style lamb is delicious, and the lamb shoulder is tasty too. Every plate of meat we ordered was solid. Beijing-style tripe really is different from what I'm used to — it has such a great texture after a quick dip. Their milk skin is just as good as Ziguangyuan's, no joke. The sesame flatbread is awesome too, chewy without being sticky. And the dipping sauce is honestly so good. Service: service was great. The staff were always watching to see if you needed anything and helped out right away. Value: felt like the price was pretty reasonable for what you get. Vibe: the place has a really nice atmosphere, super cozy and welcoming. Definitely would come back.
