  Came here solo and ordered the clay-baked pigeon — oh my god, the skin was so crispy and the juices inside were unreal, the more I chewed the better it got. Honestly one of the best things I've eaten in Beijing. The place had a really lively vibe but it wasn't too loud or anything, and sitting alone in the corner didn't feel awkward at all, which I was kinda worried about. Also got a few sides — this massive flatbread (basically the size of a tablecloth lol) and a northeastern pork and sauerkraut stew, both super hearty and homey. The server brought everything out really fast and even warned me the portions were big enough for leftovers, which they definitely were. Left feeling totally satisfied and honestly already planning to come back. If you're in the area and want proper Beijing-style food without the touristy stuff, this spot is a winner.
