Reviews
- Wren_29This is a hidden gem, one of those classic spots that's been around forever. It actually started out over in Hufangqiang Hutong, and it's got quite a reputation now — if you're tired out from walking around Tiantan or Qianmen, this place is the perfect pit stop. For a hundred-year-old restaurant, the whole barbecue scene here is super legit. The vibe is clean and chill, and the best part is they grill everything for you, so you just sit back and focus on eating. Honestly has that classic old Beijing energy to it. Definitely coming back.
